UI Toggle Issues

Hello, been struggling with this issue all day. I've searched, and searched but nothing. I am trying to get a component of my ui to be toggled when I hit a button (kind of like when you hit a button to access the main menu).

Here is my script:

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3. using UnityEngine.UI;
4.  
5. public class HideFight : MonoBehaviour {
6.  
7.     public float alpha;
8.     public CanvasGroup canvasGroup;
9.  
10.     void Update()
11.     {
12.        
13.         if (Input.GetKeyDown("escape"))
14.         {
15.             GameObject.Find ("Fight Canvas").GetComponent <CanvasGroup>().alpha = 1;
16.             GameObject.Find ("Fight Canvas").GetComponent <CanvasGroup>().interactable = true;
17.             GameObject.Find ("Fight Canvas").GetComponent <CanvasGroup>().blocksRaycasts = true;
18.         }
19.    
20. }
21.     }

My problem is, I can enable the interface, but I don't know how to disable the interface without using another button. I have tried many things, but I have had no luck. I want to be able to set alpha to 0 and interactable/blocksRaycasts to false, while using the same button.

 

Anyone?

 

I have seriously tried everything I can think of, no matter what I search I get no answers, someone please help. I can get it to work fine with two buttons, but for some asinine reason it does not want me to use a button.. any button more than once.

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3. using UnityEngine.UI;
4.  
5. public class HideFight : MonoBehaviour {
6.  
7.     public float alpha;
8.     public CanvasGroup canvasGroup;
9.     public bool collision;
10.  
11.     void Update()
12.     {
13.        
14.         if (Input.GetKeyDown("escape"))
15.         {
16.             GameObject.Find ("Fight Canvas").GetComponent <CanvasGroup>().alpha = 1;
17.             GameObject.Find ("Fight Canvas").GetComponent <CanvasGroup>().interactable = true;
18.             GameObject.Find ("Fight Canvas").GetComponent <CanvasGroup>().blocksRaycasts = true;
19.             }
20.         else if (alpha >= 1 ||Input.GetKeyDown("escape"))
21.         {
22.             GameObject.Find ("Fight Canvas").GetComponent <CanvasGroup>().alpha = 0;
23.             GameObject.Find ("Fight Canvas").GetComponent <CanvasGroup>().interactable = false;
24.             GameObject.Find ("Fight Canvas").GetComponent <CanvasGroup>().blocksRaycasts = false;
25.            
26.            
27.            
28.         }
29.  
30.         }
31.  
32.  
33.    
34. }
35.  

 

Well after two days of bashing my head against the wall, I solved my problem by myself. I will post it here for those who need help with the same issue that I had, because no one here wants to help a guy in need.

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3. using UnityEngine.UI;
4.  
5. public class FightMenu : MonoBehaviour {
6.  
7.     private bool isKeyPressed = false;
8.  
9.     // Use this for initialization
10.     void Start () {
11.    
12.     }
13.    
14.     // Update is called once per frame
15.     void Update () {
16.    
17.  
18.         if (Input.GetKeyDown ("escape") && !isKeyPressed)
19.         {
20.             isKeyPressed = true;
21.             GameObject.Find ("Fight Canvas").GetComponent <CanvasGroup>().alpha = 1;
22.             GameObject.Find ("Fight Canvas").GetComponent <CanvasGroup>().interactable = true;
23.             GameObject.Find ("Fight Canvas").GetComponent <CanvasGroup>().blocksRaycasts = true;
24.            
25.         }
26.         else if (Input.GetKeyDown("escape") && isKeyPressed)
27.         {
28.             isKeyPressed = false;
29.             GameObject.Find ("Fight Canvas").GetComponent <CanvasGroup>().alpha = 0;
30.             GameObject.Find ("Fight Canvas").GetComponent <CanvasGroup>().interactable = false;
31.             GameObject.Find ("Fight Canvas").GetComponent <CanvasGroup>().blocksRaycasts = false;
32.            
33.            
34.         }
35.  
36.  
37.     }
38. }
39.  

 

Im having a similar problem with getting a button scrips that is part of a panel that is part of a canvas switched on with my main js code. Ive tried implementing your code but cant even get it to compile. js/C issue.
best i could do was to get all non canvas elements switched off on my event (value reached:switch off) but i cant target it to the specific UI element i need.

 

I completely disable my canvas gameobjects. Haven't had any issues.

gameobject.setactive(false); I think half of anything I've written in c# has this.

 

You'll probably want to store that canvasGroup in a reference.

Doing a find and getcomponent 3 times each time you want to show/hide this is pretty wasteful.

So in Start or Awake do the find and getcomponent and store it in a variable then do the same toggling of the groups settings to hide/show it.

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. private CanvasGroup myCanvas;
3.  
4. void Awake()
5. {
6.     myCanvas = GameObject.Find("Fight Canvas").GetComponent<CanvasGroup>();
7. }
8.  
9. void Update()
10. {
11.     if (Input.GetKeyDown("escape"))
12.     {
13.         if (myCanvas.interactable)
14.         {
15.             myCanvas.alpha = 0;
16.             myCanvas.interactable = false;
17.             myCanvas.blocksRaycasts = false;
18.         }
19.         else
20.         {
21.             myCanvas.alpha = 1;
22.             myCanvas.interactable = true;
23.             myCanvas.blocksRaycasts = true;
24.         }
25.     }
26. }
27.
