Javascript help for UNITY Game Engine

Question

I'm new to coding so I have no idea what I'm doing besides what I've had to do in like... the last three days. I just want the player to walk into a collider to trigger a Canvas UI, and then have the Canvas disappear when you exit the collider. Here is my code so far:

// JavaScript source code

function OnTriggerEnter(Col : Collider)
{
    if(Col.tag == "Player")
{
    myCanvas.active = true;
}

}

function OnTriggerExit(Col : Collider)
{
    if(Col.tag == "Player")
    {
        myCanvas.active = false;
    }

}

Even though I didn't get any errors and it plays, I'll enter the collider area and the Canvas won't show up, and when I exit the collider it's like it exits out of play mode... Help, please?

I'd recommend you get the GameObject that the Canvas component resides on. Set this object to inactive.
canvasObj.SetActive(false);

http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/GameObject.SetActive.html

If you want to enable/disable the component (e.g. myCanvas is a reference to a Canvas) you need to use .enabled
