Can't Activate a GameObject from Array

Question

Hello,

I'm having major difficulty activating a GameObject from an array.

Code:

     if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.V))
     {
         n++;
         w[n].enabled = true;
         Debug.Log(w[n].name);
     }

The debug statement knows the name of the object, but never enables it.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

EDIT #1:

I've added a Debug statement to check the status of the GameObject, it's returning true, but it's definitely not active in the inspector or in the game view.

Good day. What is "w" ? a object? a component of an object?

enable is for components, to active/desactive a whole gameobject needs to use SetActive

 w[n].SetActive(true);

Bye!

Yeah, thanks for this, I guess I just needed a fresh pair of eyes on it.

For clarification, w is a script that I used gameObject.GetComponent on. I was trying to enable the script, which was already on, but I wanted the Gameobject it was attached to.

Added this instead:

w[n].gameObject.SetActive(true);

Works perfectly.

Thanks a lot!
