object visibility toggle

Unity Engine
1

I’m trying to make a code to toggle object visibility on/off using just one key. Right now I have to hit one key to turn things on another one to turn them off. I’ve got two chunks of script:

function Update () {
if (Input.GetKey ("joystick button 1")) {
	gameObject.renderer.enabled = false;
	}

	if (Input.GetKey ("joystick button 2")) {
	gameObject.renderer.enabled = true;
	}
}

and…

Code: 
var keyIsDown: boolean; 

if (Input.GetKey("1")) { 
   if (!keyIsDown) { 
      keyIsDown = true; 
      gameObject.renderer.enabled = !gameObject.renderer.enabled; 
   } 
} else { 
   keyIsDown = false; 
}

I’ve tried different things to roll the boolean script into my game, but can’t figure out what I need to do to make it work. Any suggestions? Thanks.[/quote]

Use GetKeyDown() and it will only return true on the single frame it is up or down.

if(Input.GetKeyDown("MyKeyCode))
{
renderer.enabled = !renderer.enabled;
}

This just sets renderer.enabled to whatever it’s not on the frame the key is pressed. You could also use GetKeyUp for a similar effect when the key is released.
