Rigidbody2D getting destroyed in the inspector

Question

Hello, i have struggled with this issue for about 2 days now and cant find anything on the internet about it.

This is all the parts of the script

 //This variable is located in the player script
 var dagger_pref : Rigidbody2D;
     
     
 //This function is located in the dagger script
     function OnCollisionEnter2D(col : Collision2D)
     {
         
         
         if(col.gameObject.tag == "Block")
         {
             Destroy(gameObject);
         }
     
         if(col.gameObject.tag == "Enemy")
         {
             Destroy(col.gameObject);
             Destroy(gameObject);
         }
         
     }

The problem is that when i call for the object to be destroyed in the game, it also destroys the prefab that is attached to the playerscript which disables the player from using the daggers at all. I have tried with Destroy(this.gameObject) and Destroy(this.rigidbody2D), but they both yielded the same results. If anyone knows how to make the prefab stay in the inspector after it has been destroyed in the game i would appreciate an answer very much.

Thanks in advance.

Okay now this makes sense.

 dagger_pref = Instantiate(dagger_pref, transform.position, transform.rotation);

You are overwriting what is in dagger_pref with the result of the Insantiate. So when you destroy the object it will of course make a null.

If you want to keep the prefab around you need to make another variable.

 var daggerPrefab;
 var myInstance;
 
 myInstance = Instantiage(daggerPrefab....)

Hmm okay i understand the overwrite part. And am i supposed to make the myInstance variable a gameObject or a transform? Or just leave it like you presented it?

Instantiate will return a gameobject so you want it to be that.

Use this line instead of your Destroy function:-

Destroy(GameObject.FindWithTag("gameobject"));

Replace gameobject if your tagged name is different. Hope this makes your work... :)
