you have update declared as void update() { if (itemObject == 0) { Debug.Log("Update works"); } } that is incorrect it must be capitalized ... casing matters in C# so it should be void Update() { if (itemObject == 0) { Debug.Log("Update works"); } }

Also small note your itemSpawner method should also be capitalized ... in C# the common naming standard is that a method name should always be capitalized can camel cased
