Use a toggle button to change a GameObjects visibility

Questions & Answers

I need to be able to turn the visibility of a Game Object on and off using a toggle button. This is the code I have currently:
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class ShowSubway : MonoBehaviour {

public GameObject subway;

public void showSubway(){
	if(gameObject.tag == "subway"){
		subway.gameObject.SetActive (true);
	}
}

public void hideSubway(){
	if(gameObject.tag == "subway"){
		subway.gameObject.SetActive (false);
	}
}

}

Could anyone help please?

Hi, you can do this :

1- Attach this script to any GameObject you want.
Don’t forget to fill the subway field in the inspector.

public class ShowSubway : MonoBehaviour {	
	public GameObject subway;

	public void ToggleSubway () {
		subway.SetActive (!subway.activeInHierarchy);
	}
}

Note : As subway was declared as a GameObject, you don’t need to write subway.gameobject to set it active.

2- On your button script, on the OnClick event, put a reference to the game object that contains your script, and call its method ShowSubway.ToggleSubway().

You should be good to go.

You don’t need this script.

Just select your toggle, add a new entry in the OnValueChanged event, drag & drop the object you want, and select GameObject > SetActive (dynamic parameter)
