Question

Hi everyone, is there a way to kill or destroy a GUIlayout element? I need a way to get rid of the GUILayout.Labels after the mouse goes over the gameobject that the script is attached to.

 Void OnMouseOver(){
 GUILayout.Label("someLabel1");
 GUILayout.Label("someLabel2");
 GUILayout.Label("someLabel3");
 }
 
 Void OnMouseExit(){
 //Kill GUILayout.Labels
 }

Actually you should do your GUI stuff inside of OnGUI and then just set flags in the mouse methods. Something like this:

 bool guiLayoutOn = false;
 
 void OnMouseOver
 {
   guiLayoutOn = true;
 }
 
 void OnMouseExit
 {
   guiLayoutOn = false;
 }
 
 void OnGUI
 {
   if (guiLayoutOn)
   {
     GUILayout.Label("somelabel1");
   }
 }
