SetPlayerInvisibleFor

Hides a player from one viewer, or shows them to one viewer while they are invisible to the rest.

One viewer’s own rule for the player, which wins over SetPlayerInvisible both ways: false lets this viewer see an invisible player (the other admins), true hides a visible player from this viewer alone, nil drops the rule. What a hidden player hides is the same as SetPlayerInvisible’s - body, gear, name plate, horse, voice, compass mark.

The rule is forgotten when the viewer leaves, and by a reload of the mode.

Syntax

SetPlayerInvisibleFor(pid, viewer, invisible)

Parameter	Type
pid	number	the player who is hidden or shown
viewer	number	the player whose screen the rule is for
invisible	boolean|nil	true hides pid from viewer, false shows them, nil follows SetPlayerInvisible again

Returns

boolean - false when either is not connected or both are the same player

Example

-- the other team cannot see a scout; their own team can
local function hideScout(scout)
  for _, other in ipairs(GetPlayers()) do
    if other ~= scout then
      SetPlayerInvisibleFor(scout, other, GetPlayerTeam(other) ~= GetPlayerTeam(scout))
    end
  end
end
