How to Hide or Unhide GameObject with button

Hello guys i am making 2 simple buttons that will appear when i touch the object. When i touch that button it will able to hide an object and unhide the object that i selected. How do i do this please help me. Problem is i dont know how to script this. Also i got 320 objects in my game screen. Please help me to solve this problem Thank you. Its much similer to picture below

 

1. Create a single script for all objects
2. there you can make the header for the window, or description of the object. Just some info about it...
3. Also, create function OnMouseDown. Inside it, include code that will show the window. Give all needed information into this window. One of it will be GameObject itself. So, window has an link to the object.
4. So, now when you click hide or unhide, the window set active the object accordingly.

NB! Dont forget about colliders on the objects.

 

Thank you for your concern. I am stuck with scripts

 

You don't need any scripting for this.
1: Select UI/Button from the Create Menu
2: Select the created Button. On the Button component in the Inspector, there is an area that is labeled "On Click()", click the + button here to add an action to this event.
3: Drag the object you want clicking this button to disable into the empty object field in the new action you created.
4: On the Dropdown that currently has "No Function" selected, choose GameObject/SetActive(bool)

 

But i got 335 objects

 

Parent them to one object, and turn it off.

 

Thanks Damoen what how do i turn it off

 

Create an empty GameObject, parent them all to that. You disable it with a button as detailed above.

 

What action will hide the object that i select in On Click?

 

GameObject -> SetActive -> false (unchecked box)

NB! If you disable the object, then all scripts that are hanging on it or on the children will not work. So, you have to ensure that important scripts will not be disabled.

 

Thank you Romatllinn Can you help me find these scripts?

 

I meant, your custom important scripts. Don't worry about it, if the objects don't use any of custom scripts. If it does use some, then it is still not a huge issue. Analyse the code and think "if I disable this script, will it broke my app?". I guess, since they are just small objects that are needed to render meshes, nothing important there should be (like game logic, some static fields that must be accessed while app is running, etc).

 

sorry mate my brain doesnt function right cant understand what you say

 

Did you make the app work? Now you are able to disable and enable the objects?

About the important scripts. Lets imagine a bone that you want to disable on click. Do you have on this bone any custom/made by yourself scripts? If yes, then does it contain important function or game logic? For example, if you proceed, I do not know, for example, score count. If you disable this bone with this script, the scores will not be counted until you enable the object. So, I just meant, that you have to consider that the scripts on the disabled objects do not work.

 

Romatallinn thank you for your time please check this link https://forum.unity3d.com/threads/please-help-me-to-build-mobile-application.444451/#post-2874801

 

I found this script but unity 5.5.0 cant recognize this function thing. I am having error like this "Assets/3dmodel/newscripts/hide.cs(6,2): error CS0246: The type or namespace name `function' could not be found. Are you missing an assembly reference?"

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class hide : MonoBehaviour {
6.     function Update() {
7.  
8.         if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Z)) {
9.             // show
10.             // renderer.enabled = true;
11.             gameObject.GetComponent<Renderer>().enabled = true;
12.         }
13.  
14.         if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.X)) {
15.             // hide
16.             // renderer.enabled = false;
17.             gameObject.GetComponent<Renderer>().enabled = false;
18.         }
19.     }
20. }
21.  

 

Replace function with Void, function is from JavaScript and you're using C#.

 

hope it's useful
public GameObject adddomi;
bool m_Activate
void Start () {
m_Activate = false;
adddomi.gameObject.SetActive(m_Activate);
}
void Update () {
}

public void showdomino()
{

if (m_Activate == false) {
adddomi.gameObject.SetActive (true);
m_Activate = true;
}
else
{
adddomi.gameObject.SetActive (false);
m_Activate = false;
}
}
}

 

I am Trying to do something similar to the original post here, I have many photo albums that I am placing onto a Panel/UI and each photo album is a child of the same panel rather than have a different panel for each one. so when I use menu buttons to choose which album to set as active I have to set every other album to false on every button. I am looking to expand this to many albums and I can see that each button for each album is going to have a onClick setActive false for every other album. My question is, is there a way to set all the other albums to false in one line of code and then just have the one true statement as well. so that each button only needs two onClick functions.

 

Just keep track of the currently active GameObject in script. Deactivate that one, and then activate the new one.

You could also use a script to loop through all of the GameObjects and disable them all.

 

Hi everyone,
Can anyone help me out in creating a c# code which contains "Adding & deleting an object on tapping in the presence of another object.

 

hey mate is their anyway of clicking the button again to make the object appear again ?

 

nice tutorial to show and hide gameobject.

 

//habilitar y deshabilitar Render y todos los Colliders

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

public class VisibleObject : MonoBehaviour
{

public void ToggleVisibility()
{
Renderer rend = gameObject.GetComponent<Renderer>();

if(rend.enabled)
{
rend.enabled = false;
//deshabilita todos los colliders
foreach(Collider m_Collider in gameObject.GetComponentsInParent<Collider>()){
m_Collider.enabled = false;
}
}
else
{
rend.enabled = true;

foreach(Collider m_Collider in gameObject.GetComponentsInParent<Collider>()){
m_Collider.enabled = true;
}
}
}
