Question by JanZagar · Oct 28, 2015 at 11:35 AM · c#gameobjectbeginnersetactive

How do you activate a game object ?

I have a question, how can i activate a gameobject ? I can easly deactivate it with this code:

void Start () { gameObject.SetActive(false); }

But i can't activate an object if it is deactivated because the script then won't work so i can't just write: gameObject.SetActive(true);

Can someone please help me ?

Well, If you have this script on the GameObject that you want to activate/deactivate, this won`t be possible. I suggest you to put this script in another game object and declare it with tag or public gameobject.

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
      
      public class ActivateObject: MonoBehaviour {
          public GameObject NameOfGameObjectThatYouWantToActivate;
          void Start() {
               NameOfGameObjectThatYouWantToActivate.SetActive(true);
               NameOfGameObjectThatYouWantToActivate.SetActive(false);
          }
      }


Or with tag:

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
      
      public class ActivateObject: MonoBehaviour {
          private GameObject NameOfGameObjectThatYouWantToActivate;
          void Start() {
               NameOfGameObjectThatYouWantToActivate = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("TagYouPutInYourGameObject");
               NameOfGameObjectThatYouWantToActivate.SetActive(true);
               NameOfGameObjectThatYouWantToActivate.SetActive(false);
          }
      }



I hope helped you!
