GUI.Control isVisible does not work if linked with a mesh

[Borjan]

Hiding and showing controls by using isVisible (like a Rectangle in this case) works if the control is not linked to a mesh by linkWithMesh.

Once it is attached, the control stays visible. The inner controls (in my case the text inside the rectangle) can be hidden.

See the playground https://www.babylonjs-playground.com/index.html#RBP60B#6 lines 35-42.

Hi ,

On a simple playground, it doesnt work too http://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#XCPP9Y#147

In advancedDynamicTexture.ts or  the whole  js file

Around line 205. You can add. Maybe I'm wrong. It seems to fix the pb.

 if (projectedPosition.z < 0 || projectedPosition.z > 1 ) {
     control.isVisible = false;
     continue;
 }

// add this above the first if
 if (!control.isVisible) {                        
  continue;
 }

Thanks Samuel,

looking into your example: https://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#ZI9AK7#21 I've figured out that the hiding in your case works due to the way how you instantiate the texture:

advancedTexture = BABYLON.GUI.AdvancedDynamicTexture.CreateForMesh(plane);

while I do:

advancedTexture = BABYLON.GUI.AdvancedDynamicTexture.CreateFullscreenUI("ui1");

As I'm really not proficient with 3D programming, I do not understand the difference - will read the documentation one of these days. 

I would prefer not to change the js library - it goes far beyond my knowledge - until 2 weeks ago I've never programmed java script ... For me would be simpler not to use CreateFullscreenUI for the time being and wait till the fix becomes a part of the release.

I'll push a fix on the preview branch today

THanks for reporting it
