Cant remove bullets after a set amount of time
I am trying to remove an bullet after a set amount of time but all i get is the error saying it cant delete it due to data loss.
i am using the code
if (timer >= 4)
{
Destroy(Fireball.gameObject);
}
is there a way to remove the bullet that was fired after the set amount of time.
I'm new to Unity but an old-hat at C# and it would seem to me that maybe you just need to Destroy(Fireball) ?? I don't know for sure, that's why I'm only posing this as a comment.
What exactly is unity telling you? Data loss is not an error Unity throws, can you paste it in? :)
Also, by reading the documentation, it appears you can't Destroy a prefab - that's not a prefab is it? (IE, it should be an instance - maybe created FRO$$anonymous$$ a prefab but not the prefab itself) (Using the Instantiate method)
@Dracorat correct, we need more info on what Fireball is and also are you sure that your timer works? Have you one a Debug.Log in the statement?
Fireball is a prefab and i can get it to fire. i know the timer worked because i only get the error after the set amount of time.
Based upon your confirmation that Fireball is a prefab, I think the problem is that you're attempting to use the prefab directly.
In general, your code should be something like this:
// Inside the class - local variable, public access
public GameObject Fireball; // In the editor window, drop the Fireball prefab to this
// In a method ...
var fireballInstance = Instantiate(this.Fireball);
//Later, when you're done with it and want it gone
Destroy(fireballInstance);
You can't destroy the prefab - and you shouldn't be trying to use a prefab directly. If you placed it in your scene - so that it's an instance, be sure to drag the Instance (from the scene graph) to the script reference, not the Prefab (from the project explorer) to the script reference.
AutoDestroy.js :
var ExpireTime : float;
function Start(){
yield WaitForSeconds(ExpireTime);
{
Destroy(gameObject);
}
}
Why not:
var ExpireTime : float;
function Start() {
Destroy(gameObject, ExpireTime);
}
Is there any significant performance difference between the two?
