    if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Z)) {
       // hide

 yield WaitForSeconds(Random.Range(1,8));

Im pretty sure you cant have yeild waitforseconds in the update, without an if statement. as the update is constantly being called so your asking your code to waitforseconds everytime the update() loops through.

you could do something like this, as it would only happen once

var name : boolean = false;

function update(){

if (Input.GetKeyDown("z") && name == false) {
        name = true;
        renderer.enabled = false;
        yield WaitForSeconds(Random.Range(1,8)); // im assuming this code is correct btw
        name = false;
        renderer.enabled = true;
}
}
