Make an object invisible

Question

Hello, I'm trying to make my object invisible on startup. I found code on the Unity resources explaining to use a javascript script containing this code:

 renderer.enabled = false;
 function Update () {
 }

However, this does not work.

Do you have the script attached to the object which has a mesh renderer? If you do, renderer.enabled = false, even with absolutely nothing else on the script, should disable the renderer. If its not attached to the object , then you're going to have to tell it which objects renderer to disable.

It is directly attached to the object. I even tried putting that line of code in the update function, but it returned compiler errors.

I have no idea what's wrong then. Works fine for me. All I can figure is that you might have it attached to a parent, but a child is the one with the renderer.

Hi kmccmk9 what was the compiler error when you put it into the update function?

It honestly wouldn't give me one. $$anonymous$$aybe I do have it attached to a parent. I will try putting it on other sub objects.

I'd say it needs to be in the Update

function Update () {

renderer.enabled = false; }
