Your original post shows that you already know how to evaluate a conditional and then act upon the result, so just do that, except with the conditional that Eric showed you.

As of Unity 4.0 gameObject.active is obsolete and is replaced by gameObject.activeSelf

You actually want to use gameObject.activeInHierarchy to get the same behavior as gameObject.active. See http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/543560/does-active-getter-default-to-activeself-or-to-act.html.

You can use "GameObject.activeSelf": The local active state of this GameObject. Link: http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/GameObject-activeSelf.html

 if(GameObject.activeSelf)
 {
     print("GameObject is Active");
 }

RA$$anonymous$$BITO use " ! " before the GameObject.activeSelf ex:

     if(!GameObject.activeSelf)
      {
     
     }

if gameobject is active?
