Set gameobject components to true or false

Questions & Answers

I am making my first game, a low graphics flight simulator and I have found a way to use a hinge joint motor to give the illusion. I want it so when you press G, the wheels go in. I have a very scant ammount of coding knowledge with Unity, so I can not do it by myself. Anyhoo, I need nothing simple. Just a script that causes areas you can check off to be unchecked/checked.

I wasn’t really sure what you wanted. You just want to toggle some variable true/false or a component enabled/disabled? Well, I provide solutions to both.

If you want to toggle flags on/off with buttons:

var wheels : boolean;
var lights : boolean;

// Keep adding more flags if you want...

function Update() {
    if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.G)) wheels = !wheels;
    if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.L)) lights = !lights;

    // Keep adding more toggles if you want...
}

If you want to toggle behaviours on/off with buttons:

// Drag your components to these variables
// in the editor inspector.

var wheels : MonoBehaviour;
var lights : MonoBehaviour;

// Keep adding more components if you want...

function Update() {
    if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.G)) Toggle(wheels);
    if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.L)) Toggle(lights);

    // Keep adding more toggles if you want...
}

function Toggle(component : MonoBehaviour) {
    if (component)
        component.enabled = !component.enabled;
    else
        print("Missing a component!");
}

What I meant was turning on and off a motor in a hinge joint, but I found a way around that. Thanks anyway.
