Shuko

This command will hide a unit, but he will still shoot enemies. Unit will be invisible, but weapon muzzle are visible.

McHide

Use MP framework to activate this comand on all players from server or any other maschine _nic = [nil, mantohide, "per", rHideObject, true] call RE;

Demonized

you can use code as in example 2, where true = ON and false = OFF, if using it like in example 1, you can only turn it ON

DamonDaemon

using this locally causes the player/object disappear only locally; has to be executed serverside if used in MP. Hidden Vehicles still emit smoke/rotor blade dust and (probably) still emit engine sounds. Usefull for creating objects the map-creator doesn't want to be seen, like Units that protect a certain Area (like a safe-zone) against teamkillers or enemy units.
