UIImage.enabled = true dont work FIXED

Hello everybody for some reason when i enable a image it dont enable the gameObject

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3. using UnityEngine.UI;
4. using UnityEngine.EventSystems;
5.  
6. public class SlotScript : MonoBehaviour {
7.  
8.     public Item item;
9.     Image itemImage;
10.     public int slotNumber;
11.     InventoryManager inventory;
12.  
13.  
14.     // Use this for initialization
15.     void Start () {
16.         inventory = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Inventory").GetComponent<InventoryManager>();
17.  
18.         //firstChildOfObject
19.         itemImage = gameObject.transform.GetChild(0).GetComponent<Image>();
20.  
21.  
22.     }
23.    
24.     // Update is called once per frame
25.     void Update () {
26.  
27.         //Shows items icon if there must be item in the slot
28.         if (inventory.Items[slotNumber].itemName != null)
29.         {
30.             item = inventory.Items[slotNumber];
31.             itemImage.enabled = true;
32.             itemImage.sprite = inventory.Items[slotNumber].itemIcon;
33.         }
34.         else
35.         {
36.             itemImage.enabled = false;
37.         }
38.  
39.     }

 

The script adds properly the image of the slot but never enables the gameobject ingame i made a lot of debugging but did not found the problem

 

Gameobject and component are not the same things. One gameobject can contain multiple components. If you want to also or only enable the gameobject:

itemImage.gameObject.SetActive(true);

 

Thanks man this was the solution i tried this but looks like i missed .gameObject. and nothing happend then
You are awesome

 

Hey man I had also the problem with showing/hiding an Image.
I created a public Image but forgot to reference it in the Inspector so neither of these worked:

itemImage.gameObject.SetActive(true/false)
OR
itemImage.enabled = true/false

SOLUTION: After giving it a reference BOTH WORKED for showing and hiding!
