renderer.enabled problem (acessing this info from another gameobject)

Unity Engine
1

Hello!

I hope anyone can help me with this one.

I have 3 gameobjects, they will be invisible (uncheck the mesh renderer int he inspector window), when the mouse enter (OnMouseEnter) in one of the gameobjects the another 2 will be visible (renderer.enabled = true), but this code is note working.

My full code: http://www.pasteit4me.com/2277010

The code:

for(int j=0; j<=36; j++)
			{
				if(gameObject.name == "Duplas" + i.ToString() + "_" + j.ToString())
				{
					if(GameObject.Find(i.ToString()).gameObject.renderer != null  GameObject.Find(i.ToString()).gameObject.renderer != null)
					{
						GameObject.Find(i.ToString()).gameObject.renderer.enabled = true;
						GameObject.Find(j.ToString()).gameObject.renderer.enabled = true;
					}
					else
						Debug.Log("ELSE");

				}	
			}

OK, your code doesn’t really match your request. You obviously have at least 36 objects in your scene. if not more. These object seem to have a very specific naming pattern though. You are not stating if the object has children, so I assume that is not a concern.

I would start off with a base, then use code to call that. So create a GameObject called GameController then attach a script to that called GameController. That script would just maintain a list of objects and add the script it needs on the fly. (ObjectController)

// GameController
private var Objects : Array;

function Start(){
	Objects=Array();
	var tempComponents = gameObject.GetComponentsInChildren(Transform);
	for(var obj : Component in tempComponents){
		var o=obj.gameObject;
		if(o != gameObject){
			Objects.Add(o);
			if(!o.GetComponent("ObjectController")){
				o.AddComponent("ObjectController");
			}
			o.GetComponent("ObjectController").ControllerScript=gameObject.GetComponent("GameController");
		}
	}
}

function doMouseEvent(object : Transform){
	for(var obj : GameObject in Objects){
		obj.renderer.enabled=true;
	}
	
	if(object)object.renderer.enabled=false;
}
// ObjectController
private var ControllerScript : GameController;
function OnMouseEnter(){
	ControllerScript.doMouseEvent(transform);
}
function OnMouseExit(){
	ControllerScript.doMouseEvent(null);
}

I tested it. This method gets rid of alot of naming conventions and stuff that you need to keep everything organized.

@BigMisterB My game objects that need to do the action (active the mesh renderer) don’t have any children, but the 2 gameobjects thats will be active is children of another gameobject.

I couldn’t use your code, I created a gameobject with the name “GameController”, then I put the 2 gameobjects inside (make then childrens), after I put your code inside the gameobject "GameController.

What I doing wrong? Thanks for all your help!

To show the gameobjects is fine (renderer.enabled = true), but to vanish with the 2 game objects (renderer.enabled = false) only work with one of the gameobjects, can you help me again?
