Need easy fix to my code. Please

Edit figured it out.
Had to declare a public gameobject shields.

if(other.gameObject.tag ==("PlayerShield")) 
		{ 
		 shieldOn = true;
		  Destroy(other.gameObject);
			
		}
	
	
	if(shieldOn == true) 
		{ 
		shields.SetActive(true);
		 
		}
	
	
	}

I am trying to activate my child obj “ShieldEquip” which has a shield like particle on the empty obj for my player spaceship. I can’t figure out how to activate the shield when the player touches the shield pickup, which turns on Boolean shieldON.

void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other) {
if(other.gameObject.tag ==("PlayerShield")) 
		{ 
		 shieldOn = true;
		  Destroy(other.gameObject);
		
		}
	
	
	if(shieldOn == true) 
		{ 
		 GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Shield"). SetActive( true);	
		}
	
	
	}

When spaceship collides with shield pickup the Boolean tick box turns on. The second part doesn’t work and I get errors.
Thank you.

I assume this is in OnTriggerEnter or OnCollisionEnter?

What kind of errors do you get?
NullReference for example would mean that GameObject.Find() didnt find any object with the provided name so you may have a typo somewhere.
Also if it is a child of the current object you can use transform.Find() this searches only through the child objects.

SetActive is a method. You should type: SetActive ( true), not SetActive = true

Thanks i will try all your ideas.
