Vanishers

Vanishers are objects that disappear and become uncollidable when touched.

Use Cases

Vanishers can be used to create varying types of gameplay, puzzles, or contraptions. An example of this is to speed up pacing for a section by requiring the player to move fast.

All Vanisher parts in the VanisherGroup model will be activated when any part in the model is touched. Single-part vanishers without a model can be made by ungrouping the model and moving the VanisherConfiguration into the part.

Vanish modes

Each VanishMode has unique logic.

Mode	Description
Fade	Smoothly fades.
Blink	Flashes multiple times before vanishing.
Constant	Gradually fades depending on contact. If not in contact, regenerates.
Shrink	Shrinks the part away in a set direction (Top, Bottom, Left, Right, Front, Back, Center). Does not support trusses and may behave oddly with spheres.

Configuration

Name	Default Value	Description
BlinkCount	3	Amount of blinks in Blink mode.
ConstantNoRecovery	false	Prevents recovery in Constant mode when not in contact.
Invert	false	Reverses behavior: visible becomes invisible and vice versa.
OutlineColor	(255, 0, 0)	The color of the vanisher's outline when vanished. The default color of the outline will be the color given to it in Studio.
RespawnFade	false	Whether the part fades in when respawning.
RespawnTime	2	Seconds before the part reappears.
ShrinkDirection	Center	Direction of shrinking in Shrink mode.
ShrinkToZero	false	In Shrink mode, determines whether parts will shrink to size (0, 0, 0) or not.
VanishMode	Fade	Vanish behavior.

If you add the Invisible tag to a Vanisher part, it will ignore all collision and transparency updates. This can be used for detail such as having one big selection box around a set of trusses. IgnoreCanCollide and IgnoreTransparency also work and will cause it to only ignore that respective property.
