Destroy script and component it depends on
I have a custom script component that creates child tiled SpriteRenderers, then removes itself.
As implemented, it configures the new SpriteRenderers based on a SpriteRenderer attached to its GameObject, then Destroy()s itself and the source SpriteRenderer.
However, because I've put [RequireComponent(typeof(SpriteRenderer))] on the script, I have to Destroy() the script itself before Unity will allow me to Destroy() the SpriteRenderer that I no longer want.
So, my question is:
Given a script that performs the following actions, can I be sure that the current step will be finished before the script is Destroy()ed? In other words, can I put code after Destroy(this) and still count on it to run?
T component = this.GetComponent<T>();
// some logic
Destroy(this);
Destroy(component);
@CAD97 what do you want this script to do, to destroy the object its attached to or destroy a different object?
You could do it with a separate script I guess, or maybe there's some way of structuring that removes both? I'd have to look into it further.
@rooster2 it's destroying the script itself and a component on the GameObject it is attached to.
As scripting API states, "actual object destruction is always delayed until after the current Update loop, but will always be done before rendering".
Also, I tested your code and it works as intended.
So yes, you can be sure at it.
i know to det rid of a object like a character you would have to do
void OnCollisionEnter(Collision Col){
if(col.gameObject.tag == "Player"){ destroy(col.gameObject); } }
