The DestroyGameObject method is used to destroy the parent GameObject of the component. This method is particularly useful to clarify the difference between destroying a component and destroying the entire GameObject. When you call Destroy on a component, it only removes the component itself, not the whole GameObject. This method ensures that the entire GameObject is destroyed.
To use the DestroyGameObject method, simply call it on a component instance when you want to remove the entire GameObject that the component is attached to. This is a non-static method, so it must be called on an instance of a component.
// Example of using DestroyGameObject
public class ExampleComponent : Component
{
public void RemoveGameObject()
{
// This will destroy the GameObject that this component is attached to
DestroyGameObject();
}
}
