Button that destroys itself when clicked

Greetings,

Sorry if this is a really stupid question, but I'm having problems and the scripting reference doesn't really address this. (n00b alert)

At the start of my level, I want to draw a GUI box displaying text about what the player will do. I want a button in the box which, when clicked, will destroy itself and the box (" a close window" button). I am having heaps of trouble figuring out how to remove/destroy GUI elements.


Here is my code. The button removes the box, but I don't know how to get it to remove itself! Any help is much appreciated.

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. private var showDest : boolean = true;
3.  
4.  
5.  
6. function OnGUI()
7. {  
8.     if (GUI.Button (Rect (Screen.width/2,Screen.height/2,100,100), "Begin")) {
9.         showDest=!showDest;     //GUI button that closes window displaying destination
10.         }
11.     if (showDest==true) {
12.     GUI.Box(Rect(Screen.width/2,Screen.height/2,500,200), "Find your way to "+ destinationname);  //display GUI box at start of level which shows player their destination.
13.    
14.     }
15.    
16.    
17. }

 

Code (csharp):

1. var showgui:boolean;
2. function OnGUI(){
3.   if (showgui){
4.     if GUI.Button(whatever){
5.       showgui=0;
6.     }
7.   }
8. }
9.  

[OSRF]=(or some reasonable facsimile)

 

And to add to that, that's the general strategy for showing or hiding any GUI layout -- use an outside condition to show the layout to begin with and then have the close button turn it off along with whatever else it needs to do.

 

I see, thanks. I thought there might be an easier way to do it, but this works for me!
