maybe you can turn off the mesh renderer or deactivate the game object.

3

Just not sure how to code it.

4

You could also access the object’s material’s alpha levels and make it invisible, though the mesh render would more thoroughly “disappear” the object temporarily. I believe you could delete it with a tag and then re-instantiate the property through the same tag.

5 
renderer.enabled = false;

or

gameObject.active = false;

Thanks for your help
