    How should an object destroy itself? I tried
    Code (csharp):
    1.  
    2.     Destroy (this );
    but that didn't seem to work. Presumably that is just destroying the script component of the object. Is there a way to get to the parent GameObject?

    Thanks,
    Matt

    2. Destroy(gameObject);
    3.  
    Btw. MonoBehaviour derives from Behaviour and from Component so all the functions in Component are also directly available in MonoBehaviours.
