hidePlayer
 

hidePlayer is hiding players on their screen but not on the screens of others. Confirmed on two different servers so this is probably a bug with the gserver/npcserver?

I haven't seen a problem with this, What two servers do you refer to?

Era and Era Dev. It might be you're running an old version of the gserver/npcserver on whatever server you aren't having problems on. We don't have any scripts in common between Era and Era Dev that could cause this so I assume it's not a server-specific problem. I'll try it out on Testbed as well (EDIT: nevermind, IP is wrong).

Okay, You might have answered your own question by saying where I help out is an old gserver/npcserver. Hope it's fixed soon.

This happens on Maloria as well. On top of it all, if the player doesn't move at all after logging in, the hidePlayer() (or any other player related changes) doesn't go through -- a "bug" that's been around for years.

so wait- if I made a blank gani, the half invisible only on your screen wouldn/t work...

Hmmm...

Hasn't this been an issue for a very long time? I swear I read about this years ago.

It is still a bug regardless, but just commenting.

Yes, this was an issue several years ago. I think in v4 it was fixed, but perhaps it's broken again.

I can confirm it's broken on N-Pulse.

There is a server option "nohidewithoutbush=true/false" which has been added for Classic iPhone to prevent hackers from hiding without carrying a bush. It's enabled by default. Disable this if you want to use hideplayer(). See http://wiki.graal.net/index.php/Server_options for all server options.

Ahah! I should have known this considering I'm the one who wrote the documentation about it on this on the wiki... >_<

Although normally new options are disabled by default, but I thought that it's more important to protect against hacking.
