Question

I want my player to destroy a cube when the down arrow key is pressed on a keyboard. I know I need to use the Destroy (Object); command but what would be the entire script?

class destroyObjectScript {

   void Update() {
     if(Input.GetKeyDown(valueForArrowDownKey) {
       Destroy(gameObject);
     }
   }

}

I would tell you to look up what the value for the Arrow down key is, but since it appears to be down, the IDE will probably help you auto-complete it.

I entered the script exactly as you've written it but it says there's an error. "Expecting }, got 'void'"

You're using C# script and not Java script correct?

I'm using Javascript but when I created a C# script, I got a similar error message. If I wanted that script as a Javascript, what would it look like?

if you use the code exactly as it is, it don't can work

Replace (valueForArrowDownKey) with ("down"),

here the input value http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/Manual/Input.html

I tried that and got the same error: "Unexpected symbol: '{'"

I get similar errors and seem to be having the same problem with Javascript and C#
