Issue with the lables

[Rustic_Dude]

Everything in this code is working except the toggleLabel fucntion. Can someone please help me fix it?
Im pressing C but the labels are not toggling on and off

using UnityEngine;
using TMPro;

[ExecuteAlways]
public class CoordinateSystem : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] Color defaultColor = Color.white;
    [SerializeField] Color blockedColor = Color.red;

    Vector2Int coords = new Vector2Int();
    TextMeshPro label;
    Waypoint waypoint;

    void Awake()
    {
        label = GetComponent<TextMeshPro>();
        label.enabled = false;
        waypoint = GetComponentInParent<Waypoint>();
        displayCoordinates();
    }

    void Update()
    {
        if (!Application.isPlaying)
        {
            displayCoordinates();
            updateName();
        }

        colorCoordinates();
        toogleLabels();
    }

    void colorCoordinates()
    {
        if (waypoint.IsPlacable)
        {
            label.color= defaultColor;
        }
        else if (!waypoint.IsPlacable)
        {
            label.color= blockedColor;
        }
    }

    void displayCoordinates()
    {
        coords.x = Mathf.RoundToInt(transform.parent.position.x / UnityEditor.EditorSnapSettings.move.x);
        coords.y = Mathf.RoundToInt(transform.parent.position.z / UnityEditor.EditorSnapSettings.move.z);

        label.text = coords.x + ", " + coords.y;
    }

    void toogleLabels()
    {
        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.C))
        {
            label.enabled = !label.IsActive();   // If label is already enabled, set label to the opposite of whatever the present state is
        }
        
    }

    void updateName()
    {
        transform.parent.name = "( "+ coords.x + ", " + coords.y + " )";
    }
}

Hi,

In which course and lecture are you?

When do you expect the toggleLabels() method to work? Generally, user input gets processed at runtime only.

[Rustic_Dude]

Im in Lecture 120 of Complete C# Unity Game Developer 3D course. I basically need to be able to toggle the textMeshPro component of tiles during runtime

But its always invisible in my situation

[Willrun]

Try maybe
(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.C))
Instead of
(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.C))

[Nina]

@Willrun, Input.GetKey(KeyCode.C) returns true as long as the C key is being pressed down. With that condition, label.enabled = !label.IsActive(); would get executed each frame as long as the C key is being pressed down.

@Rustic_Dude, have you already tried to add Debug.Logs to your code to see what is going on during runtime? Does your if-block get executed? Which object is referenced by label?

[Willrun]

label.enabled = !label.IsActive();
Think should be
label.enabled = !label. enabled ;

To toggle its state
But @Nina is right of course adding console. logs would help tell where you problem is

[Rustic_Dude]

Thank you! I will try this

[Rustic_Dude]

I dunno what exactly happened but somehow my TMpro component was turned off in my prefab. Now its working as intended. THANK YOU SOO MUCH!!

I’m glad you found and solved the problem.
