How do I delete an instance created by Instantiate?
Using Javascript. I have a capsule that spawns by Instantiate when the player presses Tab. How would I delete that capsule when the player presses Tab again?
Best Answer
that would be done as thus: // had to do a little update, seeing this might destroy it as soon as tab is pressed.
2 ways ( or more ) you can handle this.
// you may have to bare with the tagging system for this method.
//javaScript // Tagging method.
function Update () {
if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Tab)){
Destroy(GameObject.FindWithTag("place tag here"));// any type of tag works.
}
}
when tagging make sure the instanced object is tagged the same as the one you type in the code.
2: Placement
// this would be placed on the prefabbed object that is being destroyed the second time you press tab.
// all this does is just destroys it when it's in the game, when you press the tab key. it's similar to the first script but doesn't use tags.
function Update (){
if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Tab)){
Destroy(this.gameObject);
}
}
hope this helps.
