I get this Error. error CS1061: Type `UnityEngine.GameObject' does not contain a definition for `SetActive' and no extension method `SetActive' of type `UnityEngine.GameObject' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Are you using an older version of Unity? You used to just set gameObject.active = false. Or whatever you needed to do. That's deprecated in Unity 4.

The Unity3 equivalent is gameObject.SetActiveRecursively(true or false)

the parent transform contains an implicit list of children.

foreach (transform child in parent.transform) { child.gameobject.enable = false; }

Thats the most elegant way i think.

Mark as answered :)
