HDI use a destroyer to destroy the microchip...
How do I use a destroyer to destroy the microchip it's within without destroying the object the microchip is surface snapped to? Having the microchip 'affected' output when surface snapped is very useful for getting gadgets to work on the object the microchip is attached to, but it also means there's no way for me to destroy the microchip from within without also destroying the thing the microchip is affecting.
I thought of a workaround of having the microchip grouped with the object, but not surface snapped, so that it's not affecting the object itself, but all the gadgets inside (barring destroyer) then have to have their affected output point at the object manually?
Is there something I'm missing?
For explanatory purposes, I'm making a procedural tile based level generator, and because of the logic, it's very easy for the logic to overwhelm the scene with just like 50-100 tiles. So I want to disable the logic of the tiles that no longer need it because they're already connected. But just 'disabling' a microchip full of logic doesn't seem to affect the thermometer at all, destroying it does though. So I want a way to destroy the microchip once it's no longer needed, without also destroying everything else.
All ideas welcome!

What I did was putting a timer between actually destroying something and doing something else before the timer is finished. But I wonder that myself how to proper use it

I do this all the time to increase performance and memory usage.
Just tweak the destroyer and set the attached object (at the top of the tweaks) to the microchip gadget. You'll see a little input nub appear on the left of the gadget. -
I tried that in the past Supposer, but everytime I've tried to do it, as long as the destroyer is inside the microchip, it forces the 'Affected' to be whatever the microchip is also affecting. I haven't been able to figure out how to destroy the microchip (from within itself) that doesn't also destroy everything else the microchip is attached to.

I know this is a few months old but I'm still trying to figure it out if anyone knows?
I didn't actually think it was possible but I saw someone do it in a tutorial video on Youtube earlier today (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZnj165_L7E&t=413s from abou5t 5:30). Still can't figure out how!
