Deleting decals

Questions & Answers
1

Hello,
I’m using a decal system like this

var rot = Quaternion.FromToRotation(Vector3, hit.normal);
if (hit.transform.tag == “Target”){ //
if (sparksPrefab) Instantiate(sparksPrefab, hit.point, rot);
hit.transform.SendMessage(“ApplyDamage”, 5, SendMessageOptions.DontRequireReceiver); // and consume its health

    }

How would I make the particles delete themselves shortly after they are created?

Thanks!

Just destroy the clones ->

var sparksPrefab : WhateverYouHaveHere ;
//!!->
var destroyCloneInSeconds : float = 1.30349859 ; //whatever seconds
 
function Whatever(){
       
   var rot = Quaternion.YattaYattaYatta ;
    
      if(hit.tag.yatta){
        //!!->
        var clone : WhateverYourSparksPrefabHasUpThere ;
         if(sparksPrefab!=null){
          //!!!!!!!!-->
          clone = Instantiate(sparksPrefab, hit.point, rot) ;
         }
        hit.transform.sendMessage(whatever) ;
         //!!-->
         Destroy(clone.gameObject, destroyCloneInSeconds) ;
      }
}

lol... that looks horrible ...
