Hide Objects

Anonymous
Not applicable

Is there any way to hide objects in a scene from being included when the project runs?  I have several objects on a layer in my scene that I can hide when editing the scene.  But when I run the project, they display.  I want them in the scene when editing for reference purposes, but not when the actual project is run.  I thought turning off that layer and running the level would leave them off, but they turn on.

well, im just an explorer myself, but here's my view, you can simply turn of the render, in unit editor, or creat visibility groups, and when level loads, make it disappear, it wont render, and simply wont take any gpu consumption if no physx is involved in them.

Yup that will work ^_^. infact if you reallly dont need anything on runtime, you can simply modify it as. unspawn unit on level loaded ;). setting up visibility actually works if you want to make it visible after sometime. unspawning it from will also unload it from memory 🙂

That sounds like what I need. But what if I have a lot of objects I want to do this to. Say like 50 objects. Is there a way to group them to unspawn? Or does each individual unit need be set?

You can hide objects or unspawn via flow. I will check to see about layer visibility in project runs and get back to you.
