Destroying other objects that collide with the main object
To destroy an object on collision within the using ty software, you have to use some form of the void OnCollisionEnter method. For 2D games you need the void OnCollisionEnter2D() method and the void OnCollisionEnter() method for 3D games.
Both of these methods will activate when the object that the script is attached to has a collider and collides with an object. When the methods are activated, the Destroy function activates. When the Destroy(this.gameObject) function is activated, the object that this script is attached to will be destroyed.
See the sample code to destroy objects on collision below.
