I’m trying to spawn a circle to show the splash radius of a projectile but the coroutine to destroy the object is not running.

The prefab is spawning in like I expect it to but it is not destroyed.

Currently the script reads,

public GameObject splashObjPrefab;


if (splash)
{
    GameObject _splashObj = Instantiate(splashObjPrefab, this.transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
    _splashObj.transform.localScale = new Vector3(splashRange * 2, splashRange * 2, 1);

    StartCoroutine(DestroySplash(_splashObj));

    Debug.Log("Run Coroutine");
}

    Destroy(gameObject);

}

private IEnumerator DestroySplash(GameObject _splashObj)
{
    yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.2f);

    Debug.Log("DestroySplash");
    Destroy(_splashObj);
}

The console is showing the ‘Run couroutine’ text but not the ‘DestroySplash’ Text
