Enable a GuiButton for when my character touches an object

Questions & Answers
1

I need to set up a simple guibutton that pops up when i get to a door that allows me to play to the next level. I have the button working just fine and I have the character recognising the trigger. Now I just need to have the object tell the button to appear and be clickable
var artistButton: Texture;

function OnGUI()
{
guiTexture.active = false;
if (GUI.Button(Rect(Screen.width/1.50,0,100,100),artistButton))
Application.LoadLevel(2);
}

function Start ()
{

}

function OnTriggerEnter (other: Collider)
{
if(other.tag == “artistTable”)
{
print(“artistTable”);
guiTexture.active = true;
}
}

you need to have a boolean to do this you dont have to make guiTexture.active to false and true.....infact it has no effect in your code because anyway it will change to false back within a single frame!!! change the code like the following

var showButton:boolean=false;

function OnGUI()
{

if(showButton)
{
  if (GUI.Button(Rect(Screen.width/1.50,0,100,100),artistButton)) 
  Application.LoadLevel(2);
}

}

function OnTriggerEnter (other: Collider) { 
 if(other.tag == "artistTable") 
 { 
  print("artistTable"); 
  showButton=true;
 }
}
