How to check if OnDestroy has finished?

Archived Forums Questions & Answers

I have a script that adds a LineRenderer to the parent GameObject.
When I try to destroy and readd that script to the same GameObject, it will tell me that the script can not add a LineRenderer because the old one has not been destroyed yet, even though I destroy the LineRenderer component in the OnDestroy function.

My Code:

The function that readds the component:

void OnWeaponBehaviourUpdate(string weaponBehaviourName){
    Destroy(weaponInstance.GetComponent(weaponBehaviourStringOld));
    weaponInstance.AddComponent(weaponBehaviourString);
}

(weaponBehaviourStringOld == weaponBehaviourString)

And this is the OnDestroy function in the readded script:

void OnDestroy(){
	Destroy (lineRenderer);
}

I hope I have gave you enough code and look forward to an answer!

Thanks in advance,
Xera

As the docs say, “Actual object destruction is always delayed until after the current Update loop, but will always be done before rendering.” You could use DestroyImmediate instead.
