Toggle GameObject on key?

Unity Engine
1

Is there a way (I’m sure there is), to display a GameObject (or UI) when the user hits a specific key? (Like displaying, and then hiding a pop-up of instructions during gameplay)

How would I go about doing that?

Much appreciated.

I hope help you.

I mean more along the lines of - I want a UI element to be set to active when a keyboard key is hit, and then deactivated when the key is hit again.

Use this stuff: Unity - Scripting API: Input

Create a reference to the UI you’re turning on and off and drag it in in the editor.

public Canvas onoffCanvas;
bool CanvasIsOn = true;

void Update()

{

if (Input.GetKeyDown("key"))
{

if (CanvasIsOn == true)
{
CanvasIsOn = false;
onoffCanvas.enabled = CanvasIsOn;
}

else
{
CanvasIsOn = true;
onoffCanvas.enabled = CanvasIsOn
}
}
}

Doesn’t need to be a canvas it can be just like whatever.
