Converting C# to JS: rendering a mesh

Questions & Answers
1

So this is what I have:

GetComponent(MeshRenderer).enabled = false;

I got this from another question, but the rest of my script is Java and I was wondering if anyone knows a way to do this in Java rather than c#

basically, I have a box of matches, which I collect and after I collect it, what’s SUPPOSED to happen is a note pops up on the screen when I get near the fireplace, telling me to use my matches. I then press “e” and voila, a fire appears…

Here is my script:

#pragma strict

var buttonInRange;
var buttonActivated;
var batterySound : AudioClip;
var Transparent : Material;

var Matches : GameObject;
var Fire : GameObject;

private var hasPlayed = false;

function Start ()
{
//THIS IS WHERE I NEED HELP
GetComponent(MeshRenderer).enabled = false;
}


function OnTriggerEnter (c : Collider)
{
	buttonInRange = true;

}


function OnTriggerExit (c : Collider)
{
	buttonInRange = false;

}

	if (buttonInRange == true)
		{

		if (Matches == false)

			{
			 
			GUI.Label (Rect (Screen.width/2-50, Screen.height/2-55, 120, 50), "Use matches");
	
			}
		}
	}


function Update ()
{
	if (buttonInRange == true)
	{
		if (Input.GetKeyDown ("e"))
		{
			AudioSource.PlayClipAtPoint(batterySound, transform.position);
//I ALSO NEED HELP HERE
			GetComponent(MeshRenderer).enabled = false;

			}
		}
		
	}

The problem I’m having is I can’t make the fire start off invsible when the scene loads and become visible when I click “e” and have collected my matches.

If it helps, here is my match script:

var buttonInRange;
var buttonActivated;
var batterySound : AudioClip;


private var hasPlayed = false;

function OnTriggerEnter (c : Collider)
{
	buttonInRange = true;

}
function OnTriggerExit (c : Collider)
{
	buttonInRange = false;

}
function OnGUI ()
{
	if(buttonInRange == true)
	{
		GUI.Label (Rect (Screen.width/2-50, Screen.height/2-55, 120, 50), "Pick up matches");
	
	}

}
function Update ()
{
	if (buttonInRange == true)
	{
		if (Input.GetKeyDown ("e"))
		{
			if(!hasPlayed)
			{
				AudioSource.PlayClipAtPoint(batterySound, transform.position);
				Destroy(gameObject);
				hasPlayed = true;
			}
			}
		
		}
	
	}

Any help is much, much appreciated :smiley:

You are accessing the MeshRenderer of the GameObject that the first script is on, which I assume is on the player character. What you want to do instead is access the MR of the Fire GameObject.

function Start ()
 {
 Fire.GetComponent(MeshRenderer).enabled = false;
 }

…and so on.
