Question by DarkSlash · Aug 10, 2013 at 03:55 PM · gameobjectinstantiateexplosion

Instantiated object multiple times in the hierarchy

Im making the Walker boys tutorial (The asteroid game) and, when I instantiate an explosion, it still remains in the hierarchy when is gone... so every time I destroy an asteroid, an explosion is instantiated, and remains in the hierarchy until I stop playing... is that the way it supposed to be? Iam wasting resources? How can it be killed?

I instantiate it like Instantiate(gameObject,position,rotation);

I put a screenshot of the situation.alt text

SOLUTION: I used

 Instantiate(explosion,position,rotation)

But I should use:

 var clone : GameObject = Instantiate(explosion,position,rotation);

so then I can do Destroy(clone,2.0); without having the " Destroying assets is not permitted to avoid data loss." error!

After the explosion in your script put this:

 yield WaitForSeconds(2);
 Destroy (gameObject);

Or use the optional parameter to Destory():

 Destory(gameObject, 2.0);

ERROR: Destroying assets is not permitted to avoid data loss.

The GameObject is an explosion made through the Particle System.
