using Contains(gameObject) to find and destroy a gameObject from a list

I’m not really sure whats going on, finding and destroying a gameObject using the same code works in another part of the game - I’m sure it’s something obvious but I just can’t see it.

Here’s the code to generate the key:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;

public class keyIssuer : MonoBehaviour {

	public static List <GameObject> myOnePercentObj = new List<GameObject>();

	public static int key = 0; 

	void Start()
	{
		//with list
		Object[] onePercentObj = Resources.LoadAll("onePercent", typeof(GameObject));
		
		
		foreach (GameObject subOnePercentObj in onePercentObj) 
		{	
			GameObject hi = (GameObject)subOnePercentObj;
			
			myOnePercentObj.Add(hi);
			
		}

		float waitForIt = Random.Range (0f, 10f);

		Invoke("KeyIssuer", waitForIt);
		
	}

	void KeyIssuer() 
	{	

		int onePercent = Random.Range (0, 99);


		if (onePercent <= 60) 
		{
			myOnePercentObj.TrimExcess();
			//spawns item in array between position number 0 thru myOnePercentObj.Count
			int onePercentItem = Random.Range (0, myOnePercentObj.Count);
			
			GameObject oneObj = Instantiate (myOnePercentObj [onePercentItem]) as GameObject;
			
			oneObj.transform.position = transform.position;

			

		}
		
	}

}

and here’s the code used when the player clicks on the key:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;


public class destroyMouse : MonoBehaviour {
	
	void OnMouseDown()
	{
		if (keyIssuer.myOnePercentObj.Contains(gameObject))
		{
			Debug.Log (keyIssuer.myOnePercentObj.ToString());
			
			keyIssuer.key++;
			Destroy(gameObject);
			Debug.Log ("You found a Key!");
			
		}
        }
}

I was hoping to keep it in one script but since there should be less than 10 special objects I decided to just write a script for each one. Here is my solution:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class destroyKey : MonoBehaviour {

	
	void OnMouseDown()
	{
		SoundEffectsHelper.Instance.MakeKeySound();
		Destroy(gameObject);
		keyIssuer.key++;
		Debug.Log ("You found a Key!");
	}

}

Just a taught, Each GameObject in list to have a script with this code;

public static int  id;

private void Awake(){
id++;
}

Each created GameObject will in List will have different id from 0 - int upper limit described at Integer Limits | Microsoft Learn

So you do not need to worry about (Clone) postfix.

To Find and Destroy Game Object, Keep in mind that I have written this on the fly.

public bool SearchAndDestroy(int myId, List <GameObject> list){
 foreach (GameObject go in list)
{ 
if(go.getComponent<ScriptWithId>().id == myId){
Destroy(go);
return true;
}
return false;
}
}
