Hide or Show Canvas elements in Unity C#

Hello coders, in this tutorial, you will learn how to hide or Show Canvas elements in Unity using C# programming.

Before we start with the building process, we need to know a few things. Let’s first discuss them.

GameObject.SetActive

It Activates or Deactivates the gameObject depending on the given value.

• If we give True as a value it Activates.
• If we give False as a value it Deactivates.

After a GameObject gets Deactivated all the components are disabled, including attached scripts, colliders, renderers, and rigidbodies.

Syntax:

public void SetActive(bool value);

C# Script

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class CanvasScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    public GameObject canvas;
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    public void ShowCanvas()
    {
        // Activates the GameObject
        canvas.SetActive(true);
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    public void HideCanvas()
    {
        // Deativates the GameObject
        canvas.SetActive(false);
    }
}

Add this Script to the Canvas UI

Output:

If we run this Unity scene, you will be able to see what is given in the video screenshot below:
