I want and object to be deleted when it is under my "obj_hero" how can i do this.
this code doesn't work.

if place_meeting(x,y,obj_hero){
            instance_destroy();
}
it just deletes it when it collides (as expected) ;)

So if it is exactly the same position as the hero?

if(x == obj_hero.x && y == obj_hero.y)

  instance_destroy();

Well that doesn't work, but i dont know why,
side note the object move toward the "obj_hero" when it is close

That code suggestion doesn't work because the obj is destroyed only when its at the exact same position than the hero. This position might be hard to get, especially if the hero is moving.
Anyhow, explain us exactly what's happening in your game. There's an item that moves toward the hero when the later gets near? And when do you want this item to disappear exactly?

If you use things like "place meeting" or again, a collision event, your action (the destroy) will happen as soon as it touches the hero's sprite. if you want to hero to overlap your item a little before the item disappears, have you tried to simply reduce the size of the collision mask of the item's sprite? That should work just fine with a collision event and your item's sprite set to "precise".
