    Hi guys,

    Just upgraded to Unity 5 and found that the following no longer works?

    transform.find("mygameobject").active = true;

    The "active" part is not recognised anymore.

    Am I missing something?

    gameObject.active was already deprecated/obsolete and most likely now removed. use GameObject.SetActive

    Also, transform.Find returns a transform. So you've got to add .gameObject
    to the returned transform to make it active/ inactive using .SetActive()

    Thanks you guys! I did this...

    transform.Find("mygamobject").gameObject.SetActive(true);

    That seems to have cleared the error. Thanks again for such a swift response Timelog and gamer_boy_81
