Repeat a function only when an action occurs

I used the code below to instantiate the first object in an array in one of many positions I created using a vector array.

Another script I have destroys the instantiated object when it is touched.

When the object is destroyed, I want to repeat the script below to instantiate a second object, and be able to repeat the process. How do I go about doing this?

function Update()

{

var num : int = Random.Range(0,vectorArray.Length);
Instantiate (object[0], vectorArray[num], transform.rotation);
gameObject.active = false; // This ensures that the instantiation only occurs once

}

Don’t put this in the Update function! Write your own instead:

function InstantiateObjectAtRandomIndexOfVectorArray(obj:GameObject, arrPos : Vector3[])
{
      Instantiate (obj, arrPos[Random.Range(0,arrPos.Length)], transform.rotation);
}

Then, whenever you want to instantiate a new object :

InstantiateObjectAtRandomIndexOfVectorArray(mySuperObjects[whateverIndex], myAmazingPossiblePositions);
