Issue with selfdestruct() getting an error

Question

main contract function which calls my secondary contract

 function gameOver(uint _matchId)public payable onlyOwner returns(bool) {
    Match my_match = Match(matchTracker[_matchId]);
    bool success = my_match.destroy(msg.sender);
    if(success == true)
        delete matchTracker[_matchId];
    return success;

  }

here matchTracker stores the Address of each of the Match contracts

Match contract destroy function

function destroy (address payable _owner)external returns(bool)
        {   require(_owner == owner);
            selfdestruct(owner);
            return true;
        }

Can anyone identify what is wrong? solidity version in use is 0.5.13

Answer 1

selfdestruct requires a parameter of type address payable.

What is the type of owner in your code.? If you're using the OpenZeppelin Ownable.sol, it's not payable.

You could cast it, but since you've already required that _owner is equal to owner, and the former is payable you should simply be able to write

selfdestruct(_owner);

instead.
