It would be nice to be able to hide a specific LOD of the object only.
For example, being able to pass through an object, without hiding the resolution lods (object still visible), by hiding the geometry LOD.
object hideObject [lodRes, hide];
lodRes: float. LOD resolution
hide: bool. whether to hide the LOD
It seems that it might be possible to turn off Geometry, Fire Obstruction, Visual Obstruction.
But I don't think we'll do that
That would be so useful, to prevent physics bugs and even decreasing the negative performance impact of having many rocks with collision on a composition for example... hopefully it gets considered in the future.
It could for example help mitigate the "Touching dead bodies launches vehicles into space in MP bug" by doing something like this to disable each dead body's collision without also making it invisible:
addMissionEventHandler ["EntityKilled", {
params ["_unit", "_killer", "_instigator", "_useEffects"]; _unithideObject [lodRes, hide];
}];
