Disabling game object

I am using Unity 2019.2.8f1 and experiencing weird results when I try to disable a game object. I have an object with a Sprite Renderer, Polygon Collider 2D, and a custom script. In the OnMouseDown handler in the script, I disable the gameObject by calling:

Code (CSharp):

1. this.gameObject.SetActive(false);

. When I play the scene, sometimes I have to click on the object twice before it will disappear. Other times, it will never disappear. If I disable the object manually in the inspector, the object is still displayed. It seems that there is a problem with the Unity editor/player. Has anyone experience this problem?

To troubleshoot this problem further, I created a new Unity project with just a game object in the scene. Everything works as expected. The object disappeared when I clicked on it the first time.

 

Try creating a variable for your game object you want to disappear.

Code (CSharp):

1. public GameObject yourObj;
2.  
3. // Then in your MouseHandlerDown()
4.  
5. yourObj.SetActive(false);

Tell me if this works. If not, show more of your code so I can analyze your issue.
