Instantiate OnDestroy

Question

I have a couple of objects that spawn a particle effect, when they are destroyed. Everytime I start the game from within Unity and then stop it, each object I have not destroyed during runtime spawns his death-effect and these linger in my hierarchy. Is there a way to prevent this from happening?

Script: function OnDestroy() { Instantiate(object, position, rotation); }

Make use of the fact that on each MonoBehaviour OnApplicationQuit() is called before OnDestroy():

private bool isQuitting = false;

 void OnApplicationQuit()
 {
     isQuitting = true;
 }

 void OnDestroy()
 {
     if (!isQuitting)
     {
         //your code
     }
 }

Cheers, Tommy

The diagram at the bottom here seems to suggest the opposite: http://docs.unity3d.com/$$anonymous$$anual/ExecutionOrder.html

It shows OnDestroy is before OnApplicationQuit. Is it wrong?
