Why can't UI elements be hidden in the void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D other) function?

Question

C++ / C#

I need to display the text "Game Over" if the tag of the collider the object touches is equal to "GameOver". I wrote the following

if(other.tag == "GameOver")
{
    Debug.Log("GameOver");
    text.SetActive(true);
    // text - пустой объект к которому привязан текст	
}

But the object doesn't appear even though the text "GameOver" appears in the console.
I tried to do the same, only in the Update() function. The object with the text appeared. So what the heck?

Answer 1

We need all the code and a screenshot of the text object in the editor. Something is turning it back on, most likely.
