Basic Destroy Gameobject Script Not Working

OK, this is odd. I can't get this to work.

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class Destroy : MonoBehaviour {
5.     public GameObject Player;
6.     void Start () {
7.         if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1"))
8.         {
9.             Destroy (Player);
10.         }
11.     }

I attach the script to a gameobject in the scene and set the Player. Obviously, doing something wrong.
I've googled and tried a different handful after my own attempts and obviously I am overlooking something.

Thank you for your help.

 

put your code in update function

 

start is called once at the beginning of the life of a gameobject, the chances of pressing the right input at exactly that fraction of a second is rather low.

update is called every frame... so yeah, update not start

 

Haha, think that's my biggest derp in a very long time.
Thank you for being so understanding.
