How do I make gameobject invisible (2D)?

Questions & Answers

Let’s say I have an empty gameobject with a ton of childed objects with images making up its graphics. Is there an easy way to disable rendering on a parent so it does the same for all of it’s children (like a .enabled equivalent for rendering)? Or am I forced to reference each image component in the children manually and individually enable/disable each one?

  1. You could just set the parent object to inactive gameObject.SetActive(false);

  2. If you are using UI objects and a Canvas then disabling the canvas will cause all children UI objects to not render

  3. If you do need to disable renderers one by one you don’t need to reference each one, you can just do foreach(Renderer r in GetComponentsInChildren<Renderer>()){r.enabled = false;}
