Cannot Find Method?

Unity Engine
1

I’m using a slightly changed script I found hereabouts that fades the alpha of a texture and then destroys the script after it’s done. I’m getting a runtime error “MissingMethodException: Cannot find method Destroy,” however. Can anyone spot the mistake?

var initialDelay = 1.0; 
var fadeSpeed = 1.0;

private var originalColor;
originalColor = renderer.material.color;
renderer.material.color.a = 0.0; 

yield new WaitForSeconds(initialDelay); 

while (renderer.material.color.a < originalColor.a) 
{ 
Debug.Log("Fading. Alpha = " + renderer.material.color.a);
   renderer.material.color = Color.Lerp(renderer.material.color, originalColor, fadeSpeed * Time.deltaTime); 
   
   yield; 
}
Object.Destroy();

Object.Destroy(); should be Destroy(gameObject);

Ah, but I don’t want to destroy the gameObject the script is attached to, just the script Component.

I’ll be editing the alpha of the texture later and I don’t want this script getting in the way.

Then instead of passing the gameObject to Destroy, pass the component instead:

Destroy(this);

Sorry, skimmed it and didn’t see the part about destroying the script.

Destroy(this);

Thank you both.
