Image Active/Inactive issue

Hello Guys,

I have a script in a gameobject (my player). In the script, I am trying to edit make an image active/inactive, which is a child canvas. Might be easy issue but I already spent 1 day on this without a solution :/

I checked the net and could not find an answer about this issue. Could someone help me please? Btw, the player is already active in the scene, I have read several topics about calling a function inside an inactive gameobject

Additionally, I checked that the image findingscript correctly references the related image.

Output of the Script:
Initial Status: False
Status After Inactive: False
Status After Active: False

Why this code is not working?

public class Spell : MonoBehaviourPun
{
Image fillLowManaImage_1;
}

void Awake()
{
fillLowManaImage_1 = FindImageObject("Spell1_LowMana").GetComponent<Image>();

//the image is already active as default.
Debug.Log("Initial Status: " + fillLowManaImage_1.IsActive());
fillLowManaImage_1.gameObject.SetActive(false);
Debug.Log("Status After Inactive: " + fillLowManaImage_1.IsActive());
fillLowManaImage_1.gameObject.SetActive(true);
Debug.Log("Status After Active: " + fillLowManaImage_1.IsActive());
}


private Image FindImageObject(string ImageName)
{
Image[] firstList = Resources.FindObjectsOfTypeAll<Image>();
List<Object> finalList = new List<Object>();
int value = 0;

for (int i = 0; i < firstList.Length; i++)
{
if (firstList.gameObject.name == ImageName)
{
value = i;
}
}

return firstList[value];
}

 

I'm not sure, but maybe SetActive does not take effect until the end of the frame.

 

I also moved the script to another object instead of instantiated player object. Still same issue :/

Additionally, instead of findobject, if I use a public image variable and assign the image in the inspector, it works fine!!! But still dont know how to correct it via script...

 

Have you tried it in Start instead of Awake?

 

I tried, it did not work.

Btw, I finally solved the problem. In my image search function, I used Resources.FindObjectsOfTypeAll<Image>() intentionally, because FindObjectsOfType<Image>() does not find inactive gameobjects which is the case for my game.

However, this is the reason of the problem, when I use Resources.FindObjectsOfTypeAll<Image>(), the SetActive command does not work!!! I dont know why... But anyway, I changed to FindObjectsOfType<Image>() again and problem solved... I manually diable the image inside the script after variable assignment.

Thanks for your help and response.
