Hi guys,
I made a script which activate/deactivates a Gameobject. The script itself is working fine, but I need to press ESC twice at the first time. After the gameobject is disabled once, I just need to press one time ESC. Is there a way that i need to press ESC just one time in the beginning?

public class EnableCanHolder : MonoBehaviour {

    public GameObject CanHolder;
    int CanHolderVisible = 1;

	// Use this for initialization
	void Start () {
	
	}
	
	// Update is called once per frame
	public void Update () {

        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Escape) && CanHolderVisible == 1)
        {
            CanHolder.SetActive(true);
            CanHolderVisible = 2;
        }
        else if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Escape) && CanHolderVisible == 2)
        {
            CanHolder.SetActive(false);
            CanHolderVisible = 1;
        }
	
	}
}

set int CanHolderVisible = 1; to int CanHolderVisible = 2; at the beginning, unless the CanHolder is not active in the beginning. then you would need to swap the if’s ==1 and ==2 around.

You could also ask for the current active state of canholder in Start() method and then assign the depending value to CanHolderVisible.
That way no matter if your object would be active or inactive at first it would always work.
