AActor::SetActorHiddenInGame

function Engine Blueprint Since 4.0

#include "GameFramework/Actor.h"

Access: public Specifiers: virtualUFUNCTIONBlueprintCallable

Description

Hides or shows the actor and all of its components in the game world. Does not affect collision or tick — a hidden actor still receives ticks and collides normally unless you also disable those.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Hidden actors still tick and collide. If you want to fully deactivate an actor, also call SetActorEnableCollision(false) and SetActorTickEnabled(false).
• This sets bHidden on the actor. Individual components can override visibility independently via USceneComponent::SetVisibility.
• Does not affect visibility in the editor viewport — use SetIsTemporarilyHiddenInEditor for that.
