Question

I want to create a button that when you press it, a new button will open. I know how to make both buttons, but I can’t manage to hide the first button once clicked.

This is my code so far:

#pragma strict

function Start () 
{
}

function Update () 
{
}

var isButtonVisible  :  boolean  =  true;  

var buttonRectangle  :  Rect     =  Rect(100, 100, 100, 50);

function OnGUI ()
{
    var NewButton = GUI.Button(Rect (Screen.width / 2 - 75, Screen.height / 2 -25,150,50), "this is also a button");

    if ( isButtonVisible ) 
    {
        if ( GUI.Button(Rect (Screen.width / 2 - 75, Screen.height / 2 -25,150,50), "button") ) 
        {
            isButtonVisible = false;


            if ( isButtonVisible ) 
            {
                return NewButton;
            }
        }
    }
}

I am new to programing so this question might be a bit unclear.

Answer 1

I agree with “Happy Apple’s” solution, and just to expand on this if you wanted to integrate reverse functionality you can simply alter the code as follows:

var isButtonVisible : boolean = true;
var buttonRectangle : Rect = Rect(100, 100, 100, 50);

function OnGUI ()

{

if(isButtonVisible)
{

    if(GUI.Button(Rect(Screen.width/2 - 75,Screen.height/2 - 25,150,50),"button"))
    {
        isButtonVisible = false;
    }

}
else
{

    if(GUI.Button(Rect(Screen.width/2 - 75,Screen.height/2 -25,150,50),"this is also a button"))
    {
        isButtonVisible = true;
    }

}

}

Hope this is helpful.
