Bug Why is the object not geting destroyed? (im new)

Context: Script 1 is supposed to destroy the object spawned in Script 2. Script 2 is on a GameObject, that is referenced in Script 1 as turret.

The idea is to get the Script 2 and then destroy the instantiated object, that was saved in _MainBaseShield. For some reason it does not work. There are no errors but when I test it it the game, the object saved in savedMainBaseShield is not geting destroyed. By entering Debug.Log I found out that the command IS called. So I dont get it, please help

Code (CSharp):

1. Script 1
2. ...
3.  
4. Turret turretScript;
5. ...
6.     turretScript = turret.GetComponent<Turret>();
7.     DestroyImmediate(turretScript.savedMainBaseShield);
8. ...

Code (CSharp):

1. Script 2
2. ...
3. public GameObject savedMainBaseShield;
4. ...
5.     GameObject _MainBaseShield = (GameObject)Instantiate(MainBaseShield, transform.position + new Vector3(0, 1f, 0), transform.rotation * Quaternion.Euler (-90f, 0f, 0f));
6.             savedMainBaseShield = _MainBaseShield;
7.         }
8. ...

 

Well, first of all, you should pretty much never be using DestroyImmediate. If you read the documentation, it says to pretty much only use it in Editor code, and even then sparsely.

Second, you should be using Debug.Log more flexibly, you can use it to print out what you're trying to Destroy, what objects are calling it, and much more. There's more to investigate here.

Third, you should probably just post all of the code, unless it's obscenely long. At the very least the entire methods. The problem could be a lot of things and you're giving everyone else minimal information.

 

I solved the problem by adding the MainBaseShield directly to the prefab its supposed to be. For that reason the code above is not needed anymore since the Shield now gets destroyed with the object its assigned to. RadRedPanda, the code would have been pretty much too long. Script 1 with 240 Lines and Script 2 with 200. Nethertheless thank you
