Hides an entity, so that it is no longer visible, and is no longer involved in dxCollisions. The main purpose of hide entity is to allow you to create entities at the beginning of a program, hide them, then copy them and show as necessary in the main game. This is more efficient than creating entities mid-game. If you wish to hide an entity so that it is no longer visible but still involved in dxCollisions, then use dxEntityAlpha 0 instead. This will make an entity completely transparent. dxHideEntity affects the specified entity and all of its child entities, if any exist. |
