Hiding and showing multiple objects

Question

How do I write a script that can cycle through $$anonymous$$ding and showing of five objects. I've tried using GameObject.Find(Torso1) to find my objects and then renderer.enabled to $$anonymous$$de and show it, not sure if i'm heading in the right direction. The script is attached to my camera.

At the moment my error message is "The name '$$anonymous$$de' does not denote a vaild type ('not found').

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks:)

 var show : GameObject;
 var $$anonymous$$de : GameObject;
 private var myInt: int = 1;
 private var visible: boolean = true;
 
 function Update() {
 
     if (visible == true){
         if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.D))
         {
             myInt++;
         }
 
         if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.A))
         {
             myInt--;
         }
         if (myInt == 1)
         {
             show = GameObject.Find(Torso1);
             //show = GetComponent.<$$anonymous$$de>();
             show = renderer.enabled = true; 
         }
         if (myInt == 2)
         {
             $$anonymous$$de = GameObject.Find(Torso1);
             $$anonymous$$de = GetComponent.<$$anonymous$$de>();
             $$anonymous$$de.enabled = false;
             show = GameObject.Find(Torso2);
             //show = GetComponent.<$$anonymous$$de>();
             show = renderer.enabled = true;
         
         }
         if (myInt == 3)
         {
             $$anonymous$$de = GameObject.Find(Torso2);
             $$anonymous$$de = GetComponent.<$$anonymous$$de>();
             $$anonymous$$de = renderer.enabled = false;
             show = GameObject.Find(Torso3);
             //show = GetComponent.<show>();
             show = renderer.enabled = true;
         
         }
     }
 }

T$$anonymous$$s Should work.

Some T$$anonymous$$ngs to look up: https://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/topics/scripting/arrays

         var VisObjects : Transform[];   // T$$anonymous$$s is an Array, t$$anonymous$$nk of it as a list.
         private var SelectedInList: int = 0;
         
         function Update () {
             
             if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.D))
             {
                 SelectedInList++;   
                 if(SelectedInList>VisObjects.length-1){// go back to the beginning of list if i try and go above the last item.
                     SelectedInList =0;
                 }
                 ChangeVis();        
             }
             if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.A))
             {
                 SelectedInList--;
                 if(SelectedInList<0){   // go back to end of list if i try and go below the first item.
                     SelectedInList =VisObjects.length-1;
                 }
                 ChangeVis();
             }
         }
     
     //runs through the entire list and makes everyt$$anonymous$$ng on it invisible, then makes the single object you have selected visible.
         function ChangeVis(){
             for(var i:int; i<VisObjects.length;i++){
                 VisObjects[i].transform.GetComponent.<Renderer>().enabled =false;
             }
             VisObjects[SelectedInList].transform.GetComponent.<Renderer>().enabled =true;
         }
