Destroy A Certain Instantiate On Tap Help?
So as the title states, what I am trying to do with these scripts is make it so that the game will spawn 0-5 objects and when a certain one of these instantiated objects are tapped, they are destroyed. My problem at the moment is that when I tap any of the objects that randomly spawn, only the original game object gets destroyed. Any suggestions would do wonders.
Script that spawns objects:
public Transform prefab;
private int randNum;
private int radius;
// Use this for initialization
void Start ()
{
randNum = Random.Range(0, 5);
radius = Random.Range(0, 5);
for (int i = 0; i < randNum; i++)
{
Instantiate(prefab, Random.insideUnitSphere * radius + transform.position, transform.rotation);
}
}
Script that allows game objects to be tapped and then destroyed:
public Text countScore;
private int score;
public GameObject prefab;
// Use this for initialization
void Start () {
score = 0;
SetCountText();
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
if ((Input.touchCount > 0) && (Input.GetTouch(0).phase == TouchPhase.Began))
{
Ray raycast = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.GetTouch(0).position);
RaycastHit raycastHit;
if (Physics.Raycast(raycast, out raycastHit))
{
Debug.Log("Something Hit");
Destroy(prefab);
if (raycastHit.collider.name == "Button")
{
Debug.Log("Button clicked");
}

@Amanichai, if you create 5 objects, you have to destroy 5 objects. If you create 5 children of a parent object, you can delete the parent to delete the children.
To 'remember' the 5 objects (or whatever the quantity), you need to know what they are. You could "Find" them, or you could remember them in a container.
Try something like:
public Transform prefab;
private int randNum;
private int radius;
// a list for the objects
public static List< GameObject > objects;
// Use this for initialization
void Start ()
{
// define storage for the list of objects
objects = new List< GameObject >();
randNum = Random.Range(0, 5);
radius = Random.Range(0, 5);
for (int i = 0; i < randNum; i++)
{
// remember what Instantiate returns as a GameObject
GameObject o = Instantiate(prefab, Random.insideUnitSphere * radius + transform.position, transform.rotation) as GameObject;
// add to the list of objects
objects.Add( o );
}
}
Then, when the time comes to remove all of them, something like:
foreach( GameObject o in objects )
{
Destroy( o );
}
objects.clear(); // they're destroyed, so forget them.
