Question My setting menu wont show up using SetActive

Im trying to have a settings menu using TMP and when I try to use SetActive(true) it doesn't work, I've tried changing the button but it wont work this is the entire part of the script I'm using. What am I doing Wrong?

Code (CSharp):

1. [SerializeField] GameObject settings;
2.  
3. private bool active = false;
4. void Update()
5. {
6. if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Tab))
7.   {
8.       if (!active)
9.       {
10.           settings.SetActive(false);
11.  
12.       }
13.       else if (active)
14.       {
15.           settings.SetActive(true);
16.  
17.       }
18.   }
19. }

 

It looks like you were a bit too excited when you started and accidentially typed void with a capital V

 

Are you actually setting the value of the variable

active

anywhere?
It's not in that bit of code, so if you don't set that variable to true it will never reach the

SetActive(true);

line.

 

No I accidentally capitalized it putting it in the forum

 

i left it out but it is in there and its set as false at start

 

You also accidentially forgot to update the active variable after toggling the visibility of the settings menu, which is why it's not working properly.

Check this:

Code (CSharp):

1. if (!active)
2.       {
3.           settings.SetActive(false);
4.           active=true;
5.       }
6.       else if (active)
7.       {
8.           settings.SetActive(true);
9.           active=false;
10.       }

 

I figured it out, i was never setting active to true or false out side of the start

 

So I get no credit for pointing it out earlier?

 

Neither do I
