Help needed in changing weapons

Question

hello everyone

i am in the process of making a weapon switching/looting script

here is how my system works: player interacts with the item of the floor.

the script gets a message that the player has the item = true. The GUI button for the item is drawn. If the button is pressed then the item is shown as your current equipped item.

using UnityEngine;

using System.Collections;

public class MainGUI : MonoBehaviour

{

public bool _displayinventory = true;

public bool _displaycharacterwindow;

public GUISkin myskin;

public GameObject curwep;

public GameObject PhotonCanon;

public GameObject RxBlaster;

public static bool _hasPhotonCanon = false;

public static bool _hasRxblaster = false;

// Update is called once per frame

void Update ()

void OnGUI ()

 GUI.skin = myskin;



 if (_hasPhotonCanon) {

     //Debug.Log ("you have obtained a photon canon");



     if (GUI.Button (new Rect (460, 750, 90, 70), "", "photoncanon")) {

         curwep = PhotonCanon;

         Debug.Log ("i iwll equip to you" + curwep.ToString ());



     }



 }



 if (_hasRxblaster) {

     //Debug.Log ("you have obtained a Rx-Blaster");



     if (GUI.Button (new Rect (570, 750, 90, 70), "", "Rx-blaster")) {

         Debug.Log ("i wll equip to you RX ON !!!!" + curwep.ToString ());

         curwep = RxBlaster;

     }

     }

     }


 }

Here is the problem. first of all i am trying to make it so that the previous item that i had equipped turns off ( the gameobject turns off) and then the new item that has now been assigned to be the current weapon (curwep) turns on (the gamobject turns on).

I have attached my code. Can someone please take a look at this and please tell me how i should approach what i am trying to do

by the way this is all written in c# for those of you who haven't noticed.

Thanks in advance

Regards

You can create the weapons as prefabs and attach them to a character bone. Attach this script to your game character

 public class Player : MonoBehaviour
  {
 //attach 2 weapon prefabs to weapon1 and weapon2
 //attach a bone Transform (head, foot, hand etc..) from your character to bone;
 
     public Transform weapon1;
     public Transform weapon2;
     public Transform bone;
     private Transform currentweapon;
 
     void Start()
     {
         //we attach weapon1 first;
         currentweapon = Instantiate(weapon1, bone.position, bone.rotation) as Transform;
         currentweapon.parent = bone;
     }
 
     public void removeCurrentWeapon()
     {
         currentweapon.parent = null;
         Destroy(currentweapon.transform.gameObject);
     }
 
    void Update()
    {
    //press the right control button will swap between weapon1 and weapon2
    // this is  just for testing purposes, you will obviously have to do something much more  
    // sophisticated
             if (currentweapon != null)
             {
                 if (currentweapon.name == "weapon1(Clone)")
                 {
                     removeCurrentWeapon();
                     currentweapon = Instantiate(weapon2, bone.position, bone.rotation) as Transform;
                     currentweapon.parent = bone;
                 }
                 else
                 {
                     removeCurrentWeapon();
                     currentweapon = Instantiate(weapon1, bone.position, bone.rotation) as Transform;
                     currentweapon.parent = bone;
                 }
             }
      }
 }

I fully tested it so it should work..
