How can I add an else statement to this function? Nothing I do seems to work.

function attack ()
	{if (!CanSeeTarget ())
		return;
	for (var child : Transform in transform) {
 
		 child.gameObject.SetActive(true);
		 
	}}

If you’re starting out, i suggest you put Brackets Everywhere. (I’m exaggerating, but don’t leave them out unless you know exactly what you’re doing). You should stay with a proper formatting in order to keep your code clean and readable.

EDIT : Aight, Now that I have more info, this is what it should look like :

function attack ()
{
    if (CanSeeTarget())
    {
        for (var child : Transform in transform) 
        {
            child.gameObject.SetActive(true);
        }
    }
    else
    {
        for (var child : Transform in transform) 
        {
            child.gameObject.SetActive(false);
        }
    }
}

And actually, if you’re gonna iterate through all transforms anyway, you can actually do it like this :

function attack ()
{
    for (var child : Transform in transform) 
    {
        child.gameObject.SetActive(CanSeeTarget());
    }
}

But it’s probably better to keep the first one, cause there’s probably more logic that could happen in the statements
