,Objects disappearing when changing layer

Question

I set my objects to a custom layermask variable so they are clickable, which works as the mouse icon changes in the game view when you hover over them. The problem is that my objects are now invisible in my scene view. They havn't been deleted or anything, can still access them in the hierarchy panel and change the layer back to default. I read about the main camera culling mask, but I have it set to everything? Any Idea how I sort this out? Thank you in advance.

Just Ran into this problem. If you select the camera look down the options till you come to the Culling Mask. The Culling mask lists all the layers that are visible. Select the designed layer and Shazam it is fixed. alt text

EDITED : Don't add new layer instead. Set that object as available layer. I set that object as water. And the object not disappear. It's ridiculous, but it works for me ,

@HELLFIRE90000 Hey, I had this happen to me too. You would have had the layer visibility disabled by accident. You can see this in the layers panel. The blue rectangle shows what the icon looks like when it's disabled.

In my opinion, this is a better workaround: Make an EmptyGameobject and then set whatever you want visible as a child of the EmptyGameobject, and then set the layer on the EmptyGameobject for only that Object NOT the children.
