Question

"void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)

{
if (other.gameObject.CompareTag ( ""Pick Up""))
{
other.gameObject.SetActive (false);
count = count + 1;
SetCountText ();
}
}
In the code above, what does 'false' do?"
a) It triggers a specific animation.
b) It destroys the game object.
c) It sets a flag to true.
d) It deactivates the game object.

Answer 1

The 'false' in the code snippet deactivates the GameObject in Unity, meaning it will not render or respond to physics until reactivated.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the provided code snippet, the parameter false is used within the SetActive method of the GameObject. When SetActive(false) is called on a GameObject in Unity, it deactivates the game object. Deactivation means the object will not be rendered, will not respond to physics, and its scripts will not run until it is reactivated.

So, the correct answer to the question is:

• d) It deactivates the game object.

Deactivating an object is different from destroying it. Calling Destroy(gameObject) would remove the object from the game entirely, whereas SetActive(false) simply makes the object inactive.
