Making a panel active / inactive

Whats a good way of making a GUI element either visible/invisble or active/inactive.

Using active/inactive is a pain as you need to manage the object. Is there a way of turning the renderer off ?

 

Simply disabling the UI (Image/ Text/ ...) Component stops the element from rendering.

 

If you mean Active/Inactive is annoying as you need to manage the objects.

I tried using "enabled" but it doesn't seem have a traditional renderer , so :

gameObject.renderer.enabled = false;

Doesn't work.

 

Ok, worked out a way of doing it at least to the Canvas which might be good enough.

gameObject..GetComponent(Canvas).enabled = false;

 

Right, that's because the rendering is done from the Component itself. For example, try:

Code (csharp):

1. yourObject.GetComponent<Button>().enabled = false;

EDIT: Ah, beat me to it! And I see you're using JS. But yeah, that's the way to go then. =)
