Question by DevKonsept · Mar 25 at 05:21 PM · c#transform getcomponent missing-reference

I want to check if variable is missing(not null),Can't check if object has missing variable

As shown on pictures I wan't to destroy an object if it has a missing transform variable on script.

currentLeadTransform is a Transform variable. I wan't to destroy gameObject if it is missing(not null).

 **if (gameObject.GetComponent().currentLeadTransform == null) Destroy(gameObject);**

I have tried code above but it didn't work.

Thanks to everyone who want to help. Much love.

Do not post code as images as it makes harder for people to respond to you. There is a option for code formatting here so you can copy&paste it just fine.

Overall, your code works fine. The thing is that you don't understand what does what yet. Work on that mate.

gameObject.GetComponent<ClassYouAreWritingThisCodeIn>() means the same as this ("this class instance"). So, your code does this:

 void Update ()
 {
     if( current$$anonymous$$Transform==null ) return;
     transform.position = some_new_value;
     if( current$$anonymous$$Transform==null ) Destroy( gameObject );
 }

The second if statement will never pass as true. Think this through, take your time.
