Hide/Show between Distance in C#

there are 4 objects A B C D (A=cube1, B=Player, C=cover, D=cap1) D is C's child

If the distance(between A,B) is getting closer, then hidden object C is changing to SetActive(true) so I'd like to show object C but it doesn't work.

what sould i have to change?

    public class distance : MonoBehaviour
{
    public GameObject cube1;
    public GameObject Player;
    public GameObject cover;
    public GameObject cap1;
    float cubeDistance;

    void Start()
    {
        cubeDistance = Vector3.Distance(cube1.transform.position, Player.transform.position);
        Debug.Log(cubeDistance);
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
            if (cubeDistance < 30)
            { GameObject.Find("cover").transform.Find("cap1").gameObject.SetActive(true); }
            else { GameObject.Find("cover").transform.Find("cap1").gameObject.SetActive(false); }           
    }
}

It is not working because you are checking the distance one time only, in the Start function. To check the distance between A and B, you need to calculate the distance every frame in Update first. So you should put the distance code you are using into Update, before you check if the distance is less than 30.

 if (cubeDistance < 30){ 
     cap1.SetActive(true);
 }
 else { 
     cap1.SetActive(false); 
 }

Use the gameobject references to make the object active/inactive in the game.

Note: GameObject.Find is a heavy operation and should not be called in Update as it will effect the performance.
