Deleteing a Spawned Object

Questions & Answers
1

I have been working on a mounting code and it works great now the only issue that is left is the fact that every time I mount I create a new mount and the old one is never deleted. How do I am really new to this spawning Idea and don’t understand the code fully yet could some one help me with how to delete it in my if(isMounted == true) area here is the code.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class GUIandSpawn : MonoBehaviour 
{
	private string button1Text;
	public GUISkin Location1Button;
	
	public Transform thisChar;
	public Transform hoverBoard;
	public GameObject prefabToSpawn;
	public Transform spawn;
	public bool isMounted = false;
	public int dist = 1;
	
	
	void OnGUI()
	{
	GUI.skin = Location1Button;
		
		
		
	if(isMounted == true)
			
		{
			if (GUI.Button(new Rect(350, 100, 65, 65),button1Text))
				{
					thisChar.GetComponent<ThirdPersonController>().enabled = true;
					thisChar.GetComponent<ThirdPersonCamera>().enabled = true;
					thisChar.transform.parent = null;
					isMounted = false;
				}
			
		}
	if(isMounted == false)
		{
			if (GUI.Button(new Rect(350, 100, 65, 65),button1Text))
				{
					Vector3 v3Pos = thisChar.position - transform.up * dist;
					GameObject clone = Instantiate(prefabToSpawn,spawn.position, spawn.rotation)as GameObject;
					thisChar.transform.parent = clone.transform;
					thisChar.GetComponent<ThirdPersonController>().enabled = false;
					thisChar.GetComponent<ThirdPersonCamera>().enabled = false;
					clone.GetComponent<HoverBoards>().enabled = true;
					isMounted = true;
				}
		}
		
	}
}

You should save reference to clone in your class, instead of making it a local object. Then to delete it simply call Destroy(clone).
So your code can look like this:

public class GUIandSpawn : MonoBehaviour 
{
    private string button1Text;
    public GUISkin Location1Button;
 
    public Transform thisChar;
    public Transform hoverBoard;
    public GameObject prefabToSpawn;
    public Transform spawn;
    public bool isMounted = false;
    public int dist = 1;

    private GameObject clone = null;
 
 
    void OnGUI()
    {
    GUI.skin = Location1Button;
 
 
 
    if(isMounted == true)
 
       {
         if (GUI.Button(new Rect(350, 100, 65, 65),button1Text))
          {
              thisChar.GetComponent<ThirdPersonController>().enabled = true;
              thisChar.GetComponent<ThirdPersonCamera>().enabled = true;
              thisChar.transform.parent = null;
              isMounted = false;
              if (clone != null)
                  Destroy(clone);
              clone = null;
          }
 
       }
    if(isMounted == false)
       {
         if (GUI.Button(new Rect(350, 100, 65, 65),button1Text))
          {
              Vector3 v3Pos = thisChar.position - transform.up * dist;
              clone = Instantiate(prefabToSpawn,spawn.position, spawn.rotation)as GameObject;
              thisChar.transform.parent = clone.transform;
              thisChar.GetComponent<ThirdPersonController>().enabled = false;
              thisChar.GetComponent<ThirdPersonCamera>().enabled = false;
              clone.GetComponent<HoverBoards>().enabled = true;
              isMounted = true;
          }
       }
 
    }
}
