Hello! Mine isn't working. I'm creating a simple textbox that appears when triggered. Here's my error: "member names cannot be the same as their enclosing type".
Here's the Code:

public class TextBox : MonoBehaviour
{
public GameObject TextBox;


void Update()
{
void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D col)
{
if (TextBox.activeSelf != true)
{
TextBox.SetActive(true);
}
else
{
TextBox.SetActive(false);
}
}
}
}

Alright, I was hoping this would work for me, but it hasn't.
I've got an array of guns that have children of gun model and muzzle flash.

When I use the below code to activate the inactive muzzleFlash, it doesn't activate.
!= true){

}```
