'Picking up Ball' by destroying Prefab, prefab does not get 'read'

Ok so Initially I have a gameobject (BasketBall) when it is collided with, it is destroyed and BallShot is set to true so you “picked up the ball” then you shoot out a Prefab of the BasketBall (BasketBall(Clone)), my collision will not trigger the second if statement, what is wrong?

static var BallShot = false;
    function OnTriggerEnter (BallCollide : Collider) {
    if(BallCollide.gameObject.name == "BasketBall"){
    BallShot=true;
    Destroy(gameObject.Find("BasketBall")); 
    Debug.Log(BallShot);
    if(BallCollide.gameObject.name == "BasketBall(Clone)"){
    BallShot=true;
    Destroy(gameObject.Find("BasketBall(Clone)")); 
    Debug.Log(BallShot);
    }
    }
    }

Hmmmmmmm… Your script is kinda repetitive. Try to use tag instead of name.
For example : if(BallCollide.gameObject.tag == "BasketBall")

so you don’t need to write your same code twice. And for the part

Destroy(gameObject.Find("BasketBall(Clone)"));

You could just write

Destroy (BallCollide.gameObject);

Anyway, I hope the changing from name to tag can solve your problem! ^^
