Deactivating Child Game Objects

Questions & Answers
1

I have imported several obj files which I assume become Game Objects:

[4182-deactivate+issue3.png|4182]

They are all children of a prefab GameObject:

![alt text][1]

This game object is instansiated in code, several times.

for each of the instances I would like to disable all but one model per instance.
This is the code:

// get model name from setup file and disable all tagged as "Airframe" 

// whose name does not match the model name in the setup file.

if (tokens[kObjectToken] == SystemTypes.kModel) {

   var modelName = tokens[kValueToken];

   var models = subassembly.FindGameObjectsWithTag("Airframe");

   for (var m in models) {

      if (m.name != modelName) {

         m.active = false;
         LogClass.AddLine(m.name + " deactivated");
      }
   }
}

It works in that it finds the correct name of the model but nothing is disabled. When I look a the instantiated GameObjects, they are still enabled.

Thanks for any feedback!

This is not the best solution, but if you just want them to disappear, you can try unrendering them:

instead of:

m.active = false;

Try:

// make the object invisible
m.renderer.enabled = false;
