Activate one canvas and deactivating the other.

Questions & Answers
1

Hey everyone, so I have this really simple code where I press the space key and one canvas deactivates while the other activates. Then the opposite when the space key is pressed again, and so on. I just can’t seem to get it to work though. I feel like I’m just messing up the bools in some stupid way. Any help is appreciated.

using UnityEngine.UI;

public class GameController : MonoBehaviour {

    public GameObject asteroidSpawnerOne;
    public GameObject asteroidSpawnerTwo;
    public GameObject survivalCanvas;
    public GameObject minimapCanvas;
    public bool spawnerOneOn;
    public bool minimapOpen = false;

	// Use this for initialization
	void Start ()
    {
        survivalCanvas.GetComponent<Canvas>().enabled = true;
        minimapCanvas.GetComponent<Canvas>().enabled = false;

        asteroidSpawnerOne.SetActive(false);
        asteroidSpawnerTwo.SetActive(false);
	}

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        // Minimap
        if (Input.GetKeyDown("space") && !minimapOpen)
        {
            minimapOpen = true;
            OpenInventory();
        }
        if (Input.GetKeyDown("space") && minimapOpen)
        {
            minimapOpen = false;
            CloseInventory();
        }

        if (asteroidSpawnerOne.activeInHierarchy == false)
        {
            spawnerOneOn = false;
        }
        else
        {
            spawnerOneOn = true;
        }
	}

    void OpenInventory()
    {
        survivalCanvas.GetComponent<Canvas>().enabled = false;
        minimapCanvas.GetComponent<Canvas>().enabled = true;
    }

    void CloseInventory()
    {
        survivalCanvas.GetComponent<Canvas>().enabled = true;
        minimapCanvas.GetComponent<Canvas>().enabled = false;
    }
}

Why don’t you try this format instead: survivalCanvas.SetActive(false)
