hide object start script

Question

what i want to do is hide the child at the start, then when "B" is pressed the object appears. however i don't know how to make it hide at the start. my awful attempt is below:

  function Start (child.renderer.enabled = false;) 
  function OnTriggerStay(trigger : Collider) {
        if((trigger.gameObject.tag == "Player") && Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.B)) {
            var child = transform.GetChild(0);
            child.renderer.enabled = true;
       }
   }

i know this doesnt work, can someone show me how to write this properly

thanks

Best approach would be this:

 void Start(){
     child.renderer.enabled = false;
 }
 
 void Update(){
     if(Input.GetKeyDown("b"))
         child.renderer.enabled = true;
 }

Well, you didn't really answered my question. But, let's assume you have just one. You could use: GameObject.Find("NameOfYourObject").renderer.enabled = false; It's dirty but should work.

Regarding your code you could also do:
GameObject.FindWithTag("Player").transform.GetChild(0).renderer.enabled = false. Once again, this one is dirty and would not work if you have multiple gameobjects with the "Player" tag.

Finally, the best way is to declare a variable as GameObject. Fill it in the inspector and then call it in start like so: var myChild : GameObject; function Start { myChild.renderer.enabled = false; }

do you have scripts attached to the 'child' that you would use ? or else you could just assign the child to a variable via inspector and use

var myChild:GameObject; function Start () { myChild.gameObject.SetActive (false); }

note:this disables the entire child including the scripts on it.

or you could try carivorousHam's answer by setting the renderer checkbox to false(untick) in the inspector when outside playmode and enable the renderer as in your above script
