How to destroy an object using visual scripting in Unity

In our recent tutorial on how to destroy game object, we had used code to destroy the game object. In this tutorial, we will be using visual scripting to do the same.

I will be using Unity 2021.1.13 for this tutorial.

1. Click on the object you want to destroy and go to the inspector window.
2. Click on Add component and add Script Machine.
3. Create new flow graph by clicking new in the script machine.
4. Give it a name and save it.

3. Set the timer duration to 5 seconds.
4. Connect the output of this block to the obj input of the destroy block.
