update() keeps getting called with variable's old (initial) value, why wont the variable keep updated?
in my code I have a variable called 'destination', I initialize it in the 'start()' function and inside the function 'ontriggerenter()', and only inside that function do I update the value, regardless of that, my code seems to keep calling the update function with the original value of the variable (100s of times in a matter of seconds), and once a collision takes place it gets called with the value it should keep after 'ontriggerenter', but then keeps getting called with the original value, its like after the call to 'ontriggerenter' the variable gets changed back to its initial value, why would this happen?
plus I tried debugging the code but without having the stacktrace of the functions that call 'update', i have no way of finding the root of my problem, please help!

In the end I want to add a link for my whole project if anyone needs it, its very messy though, I apologize. along with the project inside the zip file, there's a video showing what I'm talking about **http://www.mediafire.com/file/pp7hg158tk169tl/circle+bouncer.zip/file**
If you want to be able to debug when it's set, you could make a property like this
Vector3 Destination
{
get => destenation;
set => destenation = value;
}
And then replace "destenation" with Destination everywhere in the document except when it is first declared. Then you could put a breakpoint on the line with set and attach the debugger so that it breaks when Destination is set.
xibanya your answer helped me do a little more debugging, eventually i just noticed i had a few objects from the same prefab ( and the prefab contained my script, so the other object was making all those extra calls , thank you so much though, great suggestion.
