Disabling a specific component

[async0x42Participant]

Is there a provided Task for disabling/enabling a specific component of a GameObject? Similar to the reflection used in running a function, but it only reflects the components and lets you select one for modifying.

I looked around and wasn’t able to see one, but I’m not sure if I missed it. (If there isn’t one, is that possible for a future release?)

Thanks again for the great asset!

This photo is what I mean, i.e, having a simple way to enable/disable a component via reflection, as though you clicked “Select Method” in this example. Instead, it’d be “Select Component”, and just display the Components for selection

Hello,

Sorry for the late reply.
You can use the SetProperty reflection task for that and set the .enabled property of the component. Is that what you mean?

Thanks.

Oh, I didn’t think about that at all, that’s exactly what I was wanting, thanks for your help!

Sorry for the necro, but I wanted to ask, if it would be possible to add a SetEnabled action task (where you set a component reference and its desired .enabled value), in a future NodeCanvas version?

I think that would be more intuitive than the SetProperty method, simpler to use, just like the SetActive action task for GameObjects.

Hello there and no problem for necro 😛
Of course. I have just made and added a SetEnable action task. I’ve also attached it for you here, but it will also be there in the next version 🙂
Thanks!

Thank you for adding the SetObjectEnabled action task! It worked perfectly 😀
