Reseting the Camera after cullingMask

Unity Engine
1

I have the following simple script to hide everything on the layer of my choice.

var LayerToHide : LayerMask;

function Update () {
	
	if(Input.GetKeyDown ("1"))
	{
		camera.cullingMask = ~LayerToHide.value;
	}
	
}

I would simply like to be able to rest the camera, or show the culled layer.

Any thoughts?

A layer mask is treated as an array of bits so you need to use the bitwise operators to switch individual layers on and off. To activate a layer, you use:-

layerToHide.value = layerToHide.value | (1 << layerNum);

…and to hide it, use:-

layerToHide.value = layerToHide.value  ~(1 << layerNum);

I wasn’t able to get that working exactly as is, but I figured it out.

var LayerToHide : LayerMask;

function Update () {
   
   //hide
   if(Input.GetKeyDown ("1"))
   {
      camera.cullingMask = ~LayerToHide.value;
   }
   
   //show
	if(Input.GetKeyDown ("2"))
   {
      camera.cullingMask |= LayerToHide.value;
   }
   
}

Thanks for your help!
