disabling Mesh renderer on runtime.

Questions & Answers
1

I want to turn the mesh renderer off on runtime but for some reason the mesh renderer gets disabled but the object still can be seen; I tried turning the component itself off and also tried turning the renderer of (renderer.enable = false;)

Here is the script Im using, it disables the renderer depending of how far the Player is, I have a similar script for turning lights off that works perfectly

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class Betolder : MonoBehaviour {
	public float availableDistance;
	private float Distance;

	///------------------------------

	 
	// Update is called once per frame
	void Update () {
	GameObject Player = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player");
	MeshRenderer MeshComponent = gameObject.GetComponent<MeshRenderer>();
	Distance = Vector3.Distance(Player.transform.position, transform.position);


		if (Distance < availableDistance){
		renderer.enabled = true;	
		}
		if (Distance > availableDistance){
		renderer.enabled = false;
				}
	}
	
}

This one works too, the Mesh renderer gets disabled but the object still there like nothing happened, is weird because If I turn the Mesh renderer off in the editor the object its not rendered at all so I dont understand why I cant do the same thing on runtime.

Try gameObject.GetComponentInChildren>Renderer<().enabled = false;

(Inverse these: “<>”) for some reason the code disapears if I write this.
