Why wont this print?

hi guys,

Trying to deternate a shell after it has been fired from my tank
it really looks like it should be working but the button wont trigger the print caption
i just cant get print("det flak"); to print
the true false is working and i can even get into the button function but it just isnt seeing the true or false....please help

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class PlayerTankShell : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.     public ParticleSystem shellExplodes;
8.     public AudioSource shellExplodesSound;
9.     public DamageController damageController;
10.  
11.     public Collider2D blastRadius;
12.  
13.     private float timer;
14.     private bool shellCanDetonate = false;
15.  
16.     private void Start()
17.     {
18.         damageController = FindObjectOfType<DamageController>();
19.      
20.     }
21.  
22.     private void Update()
23.     {
24.         CheckShellcanDetonate();
25.         print(shellCanDetonate);
26.     }
27.     private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D collider)
28.     {
29.         if (collider.gameObject.tag == "Player")
30.         {
31.             damageController.TakingDamage(10);
32.         }
33.      
34.         Instantiate(shellExplodes, transform.position, transform.rotation);
35.         shellExplodesSound.Play();
36.         Destroy(gameObject, 0.1f);
37.         blastRadius.enabled = true;
38.         StartCoroutine(BlastRadius());
39.     }
40.  
41.     void CheckShellcanDetonate()
42.     {
43.         timer += Time.deltaTime;
44.      
45.         if (timer > 3)
46.         {
47.             shellCanDetonate = true;
48.         }
49.     }
50.  
51.     public void FlackDetonate()
52.     {
53.         if (shellCanDetonate)
54.         {
55.             print("det flak");
56.         }
57.     }
58.     IEnumerator BlastRadius()
59.     {
60.         float waiting = 0.2f;
61.         yield return new WaitForSeconds(waiting);
62.         blastRadius.enabled = false;
63.     }
64. }
65.  
66.  
67.  

 

Who is calling the "FlackDetonate()" method?

 

hi Pandazolie,

its a button in my UI connected by click to that method.

 

So do methods on scripts that are connected to prefabs still run even if the object is not instantiated? i destroy my shell when it hits the ground but the method still prints allthough the object the scrip is attached to has been destroyed.
