how to instantiate object after time

hi, so I have a script that destroys an object and instantiates a new one. However, I want to wait for a delay and then replace the instantiated object with a new one. I have made some code like this, but it doesn't work. Am I doing some stuff wrong? Thanks,

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class DestroyObject : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.  
8.  
9.     public GameObject destroyedVersion;
10.     public GameObject newVersion;
11.  
12.      void OnMouseDown()
13.     {
14.         Instantiate(destroyedVersion, transform.position, transform.rotation);
15.         Destroy(gameObject);
16.         StartCoroutine(ExecuteTime(3f);
17. }
18.         IEnumerator ExecuteTime(float time)
19.         {
20.             yield return new WaitForSeconds(time);
21.             Instantiate(newVersion, transform.position, transform.rotation);
22.             Destroy(gameObject);
23.         }
24.     }
25.  
26. }
27.  

 

What exactly doesn't work? I can guess that destroying gameObject as 15 line stops all running coroutines too.

 

oh, is there any way I can be able to destroy the game object and not obstruct the coroutines

 

Well, i'd write a manager for these objects which can handle this behaviour.

 

Yeah, what he said. It sort of sounds like you're implementing object pooling(?). Why destroy the object? You could have a coroutine that disables any visual components like meshes and colliders, reposition in the interim if desired, then reenable/refresh stats/what have you.

 

Here is a completely generic "do something later for me please" routine.
