Destroy (Clone)

Question

I'm creating a bullet script and the only thing that I cant figure out is destroying multiple cloned objects. Ive gotten as far as destroying one of them but after more are spawned the script cannot catch up.

bullet.js

 var bullet : Rigidbody;
 var speed : float = 10.0f;
 var muzzlePoint : Transform;
  
 function Update() {
     if(Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1")) {
         var instance : Rigidbody = Instantiate(bullet, muzzlePoint.position, muzzlePoint.rotation);
         instance.velocity = muzzlePoint.forward * speed;
         Destroy(GameObject.Find("Bullet(Clone)"), 5);
     }
 }

 GameObject[] killEmAll;
 killEmAll = GameObject.FindObjectsWithTag("Bullet");
 for(int i = 0; i < killEmAll.Length; i++)
 {
 Destroy(killEmAll[i].gameObject);
 }

i think (c#)

ORRRR you could have

 float bulletLife = 5.0f;
 Destroy(gameObject,bulletLife); //pretty sure this will destroy it after 5 seconds.

attach this to the bullet.

hey, the second script worked! thanks so much!

but there's a problem; it deletes the original bullet also so when I shoot again, there is nothing to clone or spawn. is there a way that I can only delete or shoot the clones?

you would have to use prefabs.

I did it without using prefabs using this code

 function Update() {
     if(gameObject.name == "Bullet(Clone)"){
         Destroy(gameObject, 5);
     }
 }

Actually all he needs is:

 Destroy(instance.gameObject, 5);

This will autodestruct the bullet after 5 seconds. Using any "Find" method where is just a waste of cpu power.
