I think that all you have to do is to display it and not to display it because the OnGUI function is called every frame. For example,

private var display: boolean = false;
private var txt: string;

function OnGUI () 
{
   //condition to set the display variable
   display = true;

   if (display == true)
   { 
     txt = GUI.TextField (Rect (450, 210, 200, 20), txt, 25);
   }
}

private var display : boolean = false;
private var txt : String = “your pass goes here”;

function OnMouseDown () {
print(this.tag);
if(this.tag == “private”) display = true;
if(this.tag != “private”) display = false;
}

function OnGUI () {

if(display==true) txt = GUI.TextArea (Rect (450, 210, 200, 20), txt, 25);

}

In that case gui WILL NOT disappear

Ok, maybe some other beginner can use that tip. If you wanna do such a thing you should create some empty gameObject to display GUI :slight_smile: thats all
