Destroy object after certain amount of time?

Unity Engine
1

The title is kind of self-explanatory.

I have a message that pops up when a user clicks a specific object, and I’d like it to disappear after a few seconds. How might I achieve that?

Thank you so much.

Destroy has an overload that takes a delay time. Unity - Scripting API: Object.Destroy

I’m really new to Unity, and scripting, would you mind posting an example? This page doesn’t give one. :frowning:

EDIT:

Nevermind, I was able to get it working! Thank you for your help!

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class DestroyObj : MonoBehaviour
{
    void Update ()
    {
            Destroy (gameObject, 2);
    }
}
