Object Disappear

Hey Everyone,
So Im having a problem trying to add a time to my script, where i want the object to disappear after 30 seconds, after it has been activated.
Here is what i have but im still new to this and not quite sure how to add the time factor to it.
Any advice on this?

Here is the script i have

var open = false;
var activated = false;

function Update(){
  if (Input.GetKeyDown("x")){
    activated = true;
  }
  if (activated && !open && Input.GetButtonDown("Fire2")){
    animation.Play();
    open = true;
  }
}

Well you have two choices:

The easiest way would be to delete it with a time limit, but then it might vanish while it was animating.

That would look like this:

var open = false;
var activated = false;

function Update(){
  if (Input.GetKeyDown("x")){
    activated = true;
    Destroy(gameObject, 30);
  }
  if (activated && !open && Input.GetButtonDown("Fire2")){
    animation.Play();
    open = true;
  }
}

If you want it to not happen while it is animating - this should do it:

var open = false;
var activated = false;
var startTime : float;
function Update(){
  if (Input.GetKeyDown("x")){
    activated = true;
    startTime = Time.time;
  }
  if (activated && !open && Input.GetButtonDown("Fire2")){
    animation.Play();
    open = true;
  }
  if(activated && !animation.isPlaying && (Time.time - startTime) > 30)
  {
       Destroy(gameObject);
  }
}
