How would you add "Invisiblity"?

    The obvious solution is to stop sending the actual position if someone turns invisible for the other team but the snapshot design makes this complicated.
    Any ideas?

    Yes - with the current snapshot model it will be difficult to implement by disabling position update from server. Will probably be easier when we get a priority/relevancy system in place - but unless you are concerned about client cheating (e.g. wall hacks) I would stick with a client side solution. You can always just handle it clientside and keep sending position data, add a "visible" flag to character anim state and uses that on client to show/hide. This also allows characters to appear instantly when needed (as data is available)

    Thanks for the quick answer!
    Ok, I will stick to the client side implementation for now. Sure, would've been nice to have a "hackfree" implementation but it's also a problem too far off.

    Looking forward to the next commit on Github! Any way of saying how far it's off?

    In general are layers and culling masks the easiest way to implement "invisibility" in this project?
