    Code (CSharp):
    1. public GameObject reloadTrigger;
    2. //other code
    3.  
    4.     public void CheckReloadMethod() {
    5.         if(reloadTrigger.activeSelf(false))
    6.         {
    7.  
    8.         }
    I'm just trying to check if a GameObject is active. Thought I had everything in order, but "activeSelf" is throwing "Non-invocable member 'GameObject.activeSelf' cannot be used like a method" and I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.

    What you're looking for is:
    Code (csharp):
    1. if (reloadTrigger.activeSelf == false) {
    Putting parentheses after it is what "invoking it like a method" means, and .activeSelf isn't a method.
