Finding if a button is already clicked or not to show/hide UI panel.

Hello all, trying to get a button to make a UI component set a panel as active, or not depending on if the button has already been clicked, or referencing weather or not the panel is active or not. Can someone help me straighten this out?

public void SetVisual(bool value)
{

if (MobliePanel.activeInHierarchy == true) {
MobliePanel.gameObject.SetActive(false);
}
if (MobliePanel.activeInHierarchy != false) {
MobliePanel.gameObject.SetActive(true);
}

}

 

Do you mean that the button controls the panel's visibility but the initial state of the button is set from the initial visibility of said panel?

 

Code (CSharp):

1. if (MobliePanel.activeInHierarchy != false) //...

That is essentially the same as asking if activeInHierarchy == true.
"!=" means "not equal"; if a bool is not equal to false it must be true.

 

Yessir, panel is initially invisible until button is pressed. Then visible, and trying to make it invisible again when pressed a second time.

 

Code (CSharp):

1. public void ToggleVisual()
2. {
3.     if (MobliePanel.activeInHierarchy == true)
4.     {
5.         MobliePanel.gameObject.SetActive(false);
6.     }
7.     else
8.     {
9.         MobliePanel.gameObject.SetActive(true);
10.     }
11. }

 

Thank you guys soooo much!
