Could someone show me examples of how to use void OnDestroy() to instantiate an object?
Okay I have been doing some research along with going through the Unity manual and checking existing answers and I still havent fully understood what its doing or how you can use OnDestroy to instantiate a gameobject after destroying a gameobject(an enemy) Here is my script
public GameObject itemToDrop;
private void OnDestroy(other)
{
Instantiate(itemToDrop, other.transform.position, other.transform.rotation);
}
**Heres unitys example but I'm not sure how it can be used to instantiate a gameobject**
public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour {
void OnDestroy() {
print("Script was destroyed");
}
}
OnDestroy cannot be a co-routine.

So your OnDestroy is actually not the one Unity provides because you have a parameter.
GameObject itemToDrop;
void OnDestroy(){
Instantiate(itemToDrop, transform.position, transform.rotation); // Assuming you are dropping the object exactly where the enemy died
}
why not include the item drop with the destroy? My example below instantiates a ragdoll but could just as easily instantiate item ToDrop. This script destroys enemy and leaves ragdoll prefab in it's place when shot ( hitbyray) or if a grenade explodes near him.
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class destroyandDrop : MonoBehaviour {
public GameObject enemy;
public GameObject prefab;
void HitByRay () {
Debug.Log ("yippee! you shot me");
Destroy (enemy);
Instantiate(prefab, transform.position , transform.rotation);
}
void OnTriggerEnter (Collider other) {
if(other.tag == "Grenade")
Destroy(enemy);
if(other.tag == "Grenade")
Instantiate(prefab, transform.position , transform.rotation);
}
}
