Easy. Wherever it is that you detect the collision, put this:

GameObject.Destroy(enemyGameObject);

If you're using the OnCollision method, you can get the object via Collision.gameObject

EDIT:

Haven't checked the code but this should work.

function OnTriggerEnter (other : Collider) 
{ 
    if (other.CompareTag ("Player")) 
    { 
        other.transform.position = destination.transform.position; 
    }
    else //must be enemy
    {
        GameObject.Destroy(other.gameObject);
    }
}

Highly suggest you go learn the basics of programming. You'll have a very hard time making a game without some fundamental knowledge.

i got an error can you be more specific please (BCE0005: Unknown identifier: 'enemyGameObject'.)

'enemyGameObject' needs to be replaced with whichever game object is your enemy. How you do this depends on the context. I would need much more detail to tell you exactly how to do it for your situation.

Im planning on knocking this object off to a teleporter .. but i also use this script to teleport the player ... heres the script

JS

var destination : Transform;

function OnTriggerEnter (other : Collider) { if (other.CompareTag ("Player")) { other.transform.position = destination.transform.position; } }

You got errors? What error? Tell us what error is popping up.

If it didnt print anything the collision never occurs. Do you have a rigidbody attached to one of the colliding objects?

Quote from Unity Docs: "... trigger events are only sent if one of the colliders also has a rigidbody attached."

What script are you using to detect the collision? You should use the Collision or RayCastHit or whatever youre using, normally called "hit" to get the enemy gameobject, so try replacing enemyGameObject with hit.gameObject

It doesnt matter. That function "OnTriggerEnter" is never called because the collision is not registered. The problem is somewhere else. Perhaps he didnt attach rigidbody component to neither object
