Set Hide and Display Buttons in Game Menu

[Deleted user]

Hello!
Thank you for sharing this code ! It has been very helpful to me :)
I managed to use your code to render my point clouds in Unity, and i am now trying to use Hide and Display buttons in game (not in the Editor). I thought I would find code for Hide and Display fonctions in the DynamicPointCloudSet script but I didn't ...
I tried to use "SetActive buttons" but I only can Hide the point cloud, but not display it back, I have to restart the game for that ...
Do you have an idea where i can find the code corresponding to those Hide and Display buttons ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi!
Yes, the code for the buttons is in PointCloudRenderer\Assets\Scripts\Editor\DynamicPointCloudSetEditor.cs. As you will see, it is very simple and just calls pointcloudset.PointRenderer.Hide() and pointcloudset.PointRenderer.Display().
Is that helpful for you?

Hi!
Thanks for your answer !
I managed to hide the clouds that have already been loaded with this code :

public void Hide_SurSolPointCloud()
    {

        for (int i = 0; i < SurSolPointCloud.transform.childCount; i++)
        {
            GameObject child = SurSolPointCloud.transform.GetChild(i).gameObject;

            child.gameObject.SetActive(false);
            Show_button_SurSolPointCloud.gameObject.SetActive(true);
            Hide_button_SurSolPointCloud.gameObject.SetActive(false);

        }

    }

But it doesn't work well : when I move a bit or look in a new direction, it display the new loaded Points ...
So it only hides the points that are visible when i click on the Hide button.

I will look at the DynamicPointCloudSetEditor script and try to use the PointRender Hide and Display methods in my script and tell you if it works :)
Thank you again,

Hello again !
So i'm trying with this code :

public void Hide_SurSolPointCloud()
    {
        SurSolPointCloud.PointRenderer.Hide();
    }

but i get a CS1061 error : Assets\MenuScript.cs(66,23): error CS1061: 'GameObject' does not contain a definition for 'PointRenderer' and no accessible extension method 'PointRenderer' accepting a first argument of type 'GameObject' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Do you know where is my mistake ?

here is my complete code : MenuScript.cs

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEditor;
using BAPointCloudRenderer.CloudController;

public class MenuScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    public GameObject SolPointCloud;
    public GameObject SurSolPointCloud;
    public GameObject Hide_button_SolPointCloud;
    public GameObject Show_button_SolPointCloud;
    public GameObject Hide_button_SurSolPointCloud;
    public GameObject Show_button_SurSolPointCloud;
        
    void Start()
    {
        Show_button_SolPointCloud.gameObject.SetActive(false);
        Hide_button_SolPointCloud.gameObject.SetActive(true);
        SolPointCloud.gameObject.SetActive(true);

        Show_button_SurSolPointCloud.gameObject.SetActive(false);
        Hide_button_SurSolPointCloud.gameObject.SetActive(true);
        SurSolPointCloud.gameObject.SetActive(true);

    }
    
      public void Hide_SolPointCloud()
    {
        SolPointCloud.PointRenderer.Hide();
        Show_button_SolPointCloud.gameObject.SetActive(true);
        Hide_button_SolPointCloud.gameObject.SetActive(false);
    }

    public void Hide_SurSolPointCloud()
    {
        SurSolPointCloud.PointRenderer.Hide();
        Show_button_SurSolPointCloud.gameObject.SetActive(true);
        Hide_button_SurSolPointCloud.gameObject.SetActive(false);
    }
 
    public void Show_SolPointCloud()
    {
        SolPointCloud.PointRenderer.Display();
        Show_button_SolPointCloud.gameObject.SetActive(false);
        Hide_button_SolPointCloud.gameObject.SetActive(true);
    }

    public void Show_SurSolPointCloud()
    {
        SurSolPointCloud.PointRenderer.Display();
        Show_button_SurSolPointCloud.gameObject.SetActive(false);
        Hide_button_SurSolPointCloud.gameObject.SetActive(true);
    }
        
}

I think I have to refer to the DynamicPointCloudSetEditor script but I don't know how ...
If you have an idea, I would be gratefull !

Ok nevermind !
I simply had to declare my pointcloudset as a pointcloudset and not as a simple gameobject ...

New working code :

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEditor;
using BAPointCloudRenderer.CloudController;
using BAPointCloudRenderer.CloudData;
using BAPointCloudRenderer.Loading;
using BAPointCloudRenderer.ObjectCreation;

public class MenuScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    public DynamicPointCloudSet SolPointCloud;
    public DynamicPointCloudSet SurSolPointCloud;
    public GameObject Hide_button_SolPointCloud;
    public GameObject Show_button_SolPointCloud;
    public GameObject Hide_button_SurSolPointCloud;
    public GameObject Show_button_SurSolPointCloud;

    void Start()
    {
        Show_button_SolPointCloud.gameObject.SetActive(false);
        Hide_button_SolPointCloud.gameObject.SetActive(true);
        SolPointCloud.gameObject.SetActive(true);

        Show_button_SurSolPointCloud.gameObject.SetActive(false);
        Hide_button_SurSolPointCloud.gameObject.SetActive(true);
        SurSolPointCloud.gameObject.SetActive(true);

    }
     
    public void Hide_SolPointCloud()
    {      
        SolPointCloud.PointRenderer.Hide();
        Show_button_SolPointCloud.gameObject.SetActive(true);
        Hide_button_SolPointCloud.gameObject.SetActive(false);
    }

    public void Hide_SurSolPointCloud()
    {        
        SurSolPointCloud.PointRenderer.Hide();
        Show_button_SurSolPointCloud.gameObject.SetActive(true);
        Hide_button_SurSolPointCloud.gameObject.SetActive(false);
    }
   
    public void Show_SolPointCloud()
    {        
        SolPointCloud.PointRenderer.Display();
        Show_button_SolPointCloud.gameObject.SetActive(false);
        Hide_button_SolPointCloud.gameObject.SetActive(true);
    }

    public void Show_SurSolPointCloud()
    {       
        SurSolPointCloud.PointRenderer.Display();
        Show_button_SurSolPointCloud.gameObject.SetActive(false);
        Hide_button_SurSolPointCloud.gameObject.SetActive(true);
    }

}

Thank you for your help and your patience with beginners !
