Toggle GameObject on key?

Is there a way (I'm sure there is), to display a GameObject (or UI) when the user hits a specific key? (Like displaying, and then hiding a pop-up of instructions during gameplay)

How would I go about doing that?

Much appreciated.

 

Take a look on both threads:

I hope help you.

I mean more along the lines of - I want a UI element to be set to active when a keyboard key is hit, and then deactivated when the key is hit again.

 

Use this stuff: http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Input.html

Create a reference to the UI you're turning on and off and drag it in in the editor.

Code (CSharp):

1. public Canvas onoffCanvas;
2. bool CanvasIsOn = true;
3.  
4. void Update()
5.  
6. {
7.  
8. if (Input.GetKeyDown("key"))
9. {
10.  
11. if (CanvasIsOn == true)
12. {
13. CanvasIsOn = false;
14. onoffCanvas.enabled = CanvasIsOn;
15. }
16.  
17. else
18. {
19. CanvasIsOn = true;
20. onoffCanvas.enabled = CanvasIsOn
21. }
22. }
23. }

Doesn't need to be a canvas it can be just like whatever.

 

Worked perfectly, thank you!
