Tap to make billboard to disappear

Hi everyone,

I am creating a object that when you tap, it changes the texture. However, I want to create a custom hint that at the start, you tap to make it disappear.

Would that be possible seeing how to change the texture the user would need to tap as well? Thanks.

Hey Ryan,

If you already have the script set up for changing texture on tap, this should be a pretty easy addition. What you can do is disable the SceneObject with the script that changes texture on tap. Then, add this script to a new SceneObject:
```
// @input SceneObject hintObj
// @input SceneObject scriptObj

script.createEvent("TapEvent").bind(function(){
    script.hintObj.enabled = false;
    script.scriptObj.enabled = true;
    script.enabled = false;
});
```
Set "hintObj" to the object with your custom hint, and "scriptObj" to the object containing your "change on tap" script.

What this will do is start your other script disabled so that it doesn't do anything on tap. Then on first tap, this script will turn off your hint, turn on your other script so it can react to taps, and finally turn itself off.

By the way, if you don't have that other script set up already, this post can probably help with that.

Hope this makes sense! Let me know if you have any other questions or need some more help setting it up.
