Why doesn't null work in Unity?

Question

Unity

In code:

public Text infoObjectText;

private void Update()
    {
        float dis = 3.5f;

        RaycastHit hit;

        if (Physics.Raycast(playerCamera.GetComponent<Camera>().transform.position, playerCamera.GetComponent<Camera>().transform.forward, out hit, dis))
        {
            InfoObject infoObject = hit.transform.GetComponent<InfoObject>();

            if (infoObject != null)
            {
                infoObjectText.enabled = true;
            }
            
            else if (infoObject == null)
            {
                infoObjectText.enabled = false;
            }
        }
    }

This piece of code doesn't work for me:

else if (infoObject == null)
{
      infoObjectText.enabled = false;
}

There is just one cube on the stage, with the "InfoObject" script. And when I point the center of the camera at the cube, "infoObjectText" turns on, and if I don't look, then "infoObjectText" does not turn off.

Answer 1

At you probably the component does not become null. Try another way.
PS: The code can be simplified toinfoObjectText.enabled = infoObject != null;

Answer 2

Yes, I agree, try the method described above infoObjectText.enabled = infoObject != null;
