Cancelling Destory(GameObject, time)

[system]

I spawn object that must be deleted after a time intervalue. But sometimes the object should stay. Is there any way to cancel the Destory(GameObject, time) method?

No, but you can use a coroutine and cancel the coroutine, which is what I guess Destroy does behind the scenes.

void Start()
{
    //start the countdown
    StartCoroutine( "DestroyAfterTime", 10f );
}

IEnumerator DestroyAfterTime(  float t )
{
    yield return new WaitForSeconds( t );
    Destroy( gameObject );
}

void Update()
{
    //I decide I want to cancel it
    StopCoroutine( "DestroyAfterTime" );
}
