How do I Enable Gui Text On Object Destroy?

I need to know how to enable the text “1/4 Notes Collected” when I left click on a sheet of paper. The paper already makes it’s sound and destroy’s when I click it. Now all I need to do is have the text listed above show for 3 seconds. In js, how would I do this? Here’s my script. (It’s very messy, I had a friends help me with it)

var information: String; 
private var guiOn = false;
private var rect: Rect;

function OnMouseDown(){
    guiOn = true; 
    rect = Rect(Input.mousePosition.x, Input.mousePosition.y, 300, 100);
    yield WaitForSeconds(3);
    guiOn = false;
}

function OnGUI(){
    if (guiOn){
        GUI.Label(rect, information);
    }
}

I’m guessing that script is attached to the same game object as the one that is being destroyed. That’s your problem - you are destroying it and still trying to use OnGUI on it! So you need to not destroy it until after 3 seconds to give the GUI time to show. You might just want to turn the renderer and collider off before that.

    renderer.enabled = false;
    collider.enabled = false;

This will work if it’s just one object - if it is itself the parent of other objects then you will have to get all of them:

    foreach(var r : Renderer in GetComponents(Renderer))
    {
         r.enabled = false;
         if(r.collider)
              r.collider.enabled = false;
    }

This will work if all of your colliders are on objects with renderers - otherwise you would need a second for loop for the colliders.
