Question Possible to hide GameObject on Screen 1 but visible on Screen 2?

Hi everyone,

is it possible to hide certain GameObjects when hitting the play button (on monitor screen) but they are visible on a second screen like a HTC Vive?

greetings,

You can do that as long as the two screens are being rendered by separate cameras. If you're just splitting the output to two monitors, then no. But, if it's two cameras, each camera can specify which layers it will render. You could put these special objects on their own layer, which only one of the cameras is configured to be able to see.

 

thank you!

One more thing, how is this method called to only render certain objects using layer tags?

 

It's not a method. It's just how cameras work. If you select a Camera, there should be a Culling Mask property on it. That lets you select which layers that camera will "see":



Then, for any given Renderer or SkinnedMeshRenderer, you can choose its Layer at the top-right of the inspector window:



Each camera will only render objects that are in layers that are listed among its culling mask.

 

Thank you so much! Will try it today
