make a gameObject invisibe without making it inactive [duplicate]

Question

Willing to make an image invisible to show other gameobjects behind it, but it has co-routine on script which wont run if it's inactive. Now I am making it inactive (with methode setActive(false)) to make it invisible based on events. So I want to run the coroutine and also make it invisible.

Is setting order in hierarchy a solution for this?

How to make it invisible without making it inactive/How can I achieve this and make coroutine running?

Answer 1

You can do this by turning off the Renderer of the GameObject.

To disable:

gameObject.GetComponent<Renderer>().enabled = false;
