How to check if object is active?

wha???????...... o_O I just answered you... hello?

 if (myGameObject.activeSelf)
    print ("Active")

$$anonymous$$aybe the ternary operator confused you?

 int x = condition ? 10 : 15;

is the equivalent of:

 int x;
 if (condition)
   x = 10;
 else x = 15;

'if' takes a boolean expression which could either return a true or false. bool variables could hold a value of true or false so you could pass them to the if statement so you don't need to say:

 if (condition == true)
    doStuff();

you could just say:

 if (condition)
    doStuff();

$$anonymous$$aybe you need to consider a program$$anonymous$$g course before you approach Unity and game development in general. This is one of the many things I don't like about Unity, is that they make it sound like you don't need any program$$anonymous$$g skills to get started 'making games' - we end up with basic 101 program$$anonymous$$g questions on a technical Unity Q/A site, then you get moderators and such telling the questerioners that UA is for asking technical questions about Unity3D! forgetting the fact that Unity IS ACTUALLY promoting this stuff... (ranting about Unity, not you dear Samuel - there's nothing wrong about being a beginner - we all were)

Dear Samuel, before you build something very sophisticated as games, you need to know your tools - you need to know your language very well :) - Jamie $$anonymous$$ing is a good place to start. Start with his basic C# series and move up. Best of luck.

Also don't relate "not knowing" into giving up and asking - you could have easily found the answer by just looking at the doc for GameObject.

Google indexes the answers on this forum, so when people are just trying to get a simple answer for syntax they don't need this kind of petty, gatekeepery garbage wasting their time. Don't want to answer a noob question? Don't answer it. Problem solved, move on, don't be a dick. Can't not be a dick? Then please know that you are, sir, a dick, and you have wasted not only your own time, but the time of everyone who just wanted a simple syntax answer and had the absolute gall to use a search engine on the internet to find it.

I am so confused, one person asks a question then another one aswers it in a way they assume is the most comprehensible and neat and when it's not understood he even goes into more detail and recommends a way how to improve oneself but then there are other people who just assume that he has some kind of prejudice. What if the way he recommends is the way that worked for him? Is it so hard to google one more step? I mean if he really wants to learn I would assume he is prepared to go down the rabbit hole if he didn't master the basics first. When did Unity forum become a third-rate drama forum... no idea, please guys be less touchy-feely.
