Code:

function Update () {
if (Input.GetKey ("1")) {
Mesh144.renderer.enabled = false;
}

}

I've got a few problems here.
First, when I run this I get an error that says Assets/NewBehaviourScript.js(3,9): BCE0005: Unknown identifier:'Mesh144". So I apparently need some other way to identify the object I want to make invisible.
Second, what do I attach this behavior to? the first person controller? the object itself?
Third, what do I need to add to my script so I can toggle visibility on/off using the same key, not just only turn the visibility off?

Thanks for any help

you need to search for the object or put this on the object you want to affect and use gameObject instead of Mesh144

thanks Dreamora.

Any idea how I could get this to toggle? I've set it up so (1) turns it off & (2) turns it on, & that'll get me through, but toggling with the same button would be more elegant...

You can create a toggle using a boolean variable:-

Code:

var keyIsDown: boolean;

if (Input.GetKey("1") {
if (!keyIsDown) {
keyIsDown = true;
obj.renderer.enabled = !obj.renderer.enabled;
}
} else {
keyIsDown = false;
}
