Why isn't OnTriggerExit working?

Question

I have a price of code that looks like this:

void OnTriggerExit() {
 Debug.Log("Object leaved trigger");
}

But when I move an object that is colliding with the trigger by script it doesn't print to the console, but if i nudge it instead it does. I'm guessing it's because the object ain't actually exiting, but disappearing. Is there a way to solve this? Thank you!

EDIT:
Okey, so this is the actual code:

Craftingstation.cs

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;

public class Craftingstation : MonoBehaviour {

    //GameObject globalScripts;

    bool itemAlreadyCraftable;
    int correctItems;

    public string[,] itemIds;
    // Generic list for holding items on crafter
    public List<string> itemsOnCrafter;
    public List<string> craftableItems;
    // Static 2D array for holding crafting recipes
    string[,] craftingRecipes = new string[,] {
        // {recipe},{result}
        {"potato","tabasco"},{"explosivePotato"},
        {"mentos","cola"},{"colaCannon"},
        {"potato","cola"},{"potatoCola"},
        {"potato","chips"},{"potatoChips"}
    };

    void Start () {
        //globalScripts = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Global Scripts");
        //string test = globalScripts.GetComponent<items>().nameToId("mentos");
    }

    /*
    void nameToId(string passedName) {
        for (int i = 0; i < globalScripts.GetComponent<items>().itemIds.GetLength(0); i++)
        {
            string loopedName = globalScripts.GetComponent<items>().itemIds[i, 0];
            if (loopedName == passedName) {
                string returnString = globalScripts.GetComponent<items>().itemIds[i, 1];
                Debug.Log(returnString);
            }
        }
        return 0;
    }
    */

    void Update () {
        for (int i = 0; i < craftingRecipes.GetLength(0); i++) {
            itemAlreadyCraftable = false;
            correctItems = 0;
            if (i%2==0) {

                    for (int k = 0; k < itemsOnCrafter.Count; k++) {
                        if (itemsOnCrafter[k] == craftingRecipes[i, j]) {
                            correctItems++;
                        }
                    }
                    if (correctItems >= craftingRecipes.GetLength(1)) {
                        for (int l = 0; l < craftableItems.Count; l++) {
                            if (craftableItems[l] == craftingRecipes[i+1, 0]) {
                                itemAlreadyCraftable = true;
                            }

                        }
                    }
                    else {
                        craftableItems.Remove(craftingRecipes[i+1, 0]);
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

    void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other) {

Answer 1

Have a look at the online API.

It states that the function requires an argument of type Collider, which is what you're missing.

It should be:

void OnTriggerExit(Collider other)

Not:

void OnTriggerExit()

Another note, make sure one of the objects colliding have a rigidbody, Unity requires it to detect collisions.
