Question by LPGaming · Jun 22, 2013 at 12:44 AM · errordestroyhealth

Destroy(this) not working properly

I don't think that my Destroy(this) function is working properly, here's the script

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class NpcHandler : MonoBehaviour {
     
     public string npcName;
     public int npcLevel;
     public int npcExpWorth;
     public int npcCurrHealth, npcMaxHealth;
     
     // Use this for initialization
     void Start () {
         
     }
     
     // Update is called once per frame
     void Update () {
         if(npcCurrHealth < 1) {
             Destroy(this);
         }
     }
 }



Now, once he runs out of health the other scripts can no longer reference from it, although the object stays there and the scripts are still attempting to reference, not sure what's going on here.

Yes, the script is attatched directly to the game object.

Are you trying to destroy the script, or the gameobject?

(this) is the script. (this.gameObject) is the gameObject. or just Destroy(gameObject). Sorry if I didn't understand your question.

You are destroying the Component not the Object. Use Destroy(gameObject).

When destroy things it is better to explicitly call the desired method Component.Destroy(this) or GameObject.Destroy(gameObject)
