How to destroy a gameobject by GameObject.Find
I'm using a script that plays audio Through multiple scenes and when i get to the "Game" scene i want the object to destroy itself... I don't know how to acomplish this... But i thought it would be something like this.
Make a new script.. Place it into a blank gameobject in the Game Scene...
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class StopMusicOnGameScene : MonoBehaviour {
// Use this for initialization
void Start () {
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update ()
{
GameObject.Find("AudioThroughScene");
Destroy (gameObject);
Destroy(this);
}
}
But as you can see this wont work because its deleteing the gameobject itself before it deletes the AudioThroughScene Object... How can i acomplish this?
I'm new to Scripting Sorry.

Hi,
You're currently destroying "this" component. This, however, means the script that it's run through.
try this:
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class StopMusicOnGameScene : MonoBehaviour {
public GameObject AudioObject;
// Use this for initialization
void Start () {
AudioObject = GameObject.Find("AudioThroughScene");
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update ()
{
Destroy(AudioObject);
}
}
I don't know your code but this should do, for now. And you should realy try to never do a GameObject.Find in the Update. GameObject.Find is a pretty heavy call.
@Shgoedt that was great. Helped me remove a DontdestroyOnLoad script that i only wanted to go through to 1 other scene and not the others. I would of replied under your post but i didnt have permissions apparently!?
