    I'm trying to make a tower defense game. It's 3D but mostly viewed from above (2D).
    But if I right-click the mouse the camera can zoom and roam using WASD keys. This works.

    However, beside the playing field I have a sidebar where I pick which towers to build and so forth.
    But when in zooming/roaming the sidebar becomes useless, so I want to hide it.

    I'm trying to do that from the camera-script, so I added a script-component to the sidebar to make it static:
    Code (CSharp):
    1. using UnityEngine;
    2. public class SideBarManager : MonoBehaviour
    3. {
    4.     public static SideBarManager Instance;
    5.     void OnEnable() { Instance = this; }
    6. }
    In the camera-script I try the below to hide the sidebar (and everything on it):
    Code (CSharp):
    1. SideBarManager.Instance.GameObject.SetActive(false);
    error CS1061: 'SideBarManager' does not contain a definition for 'GameObject' : (

    Argh - GameObject is an instance of it's class and therefore spelled with a lowercase G:

    Code (CSharp):
    1. SideBarManager.Instance.gameObject.SetActive(false);
