Plugin Help What does the method hidePlayer(Player) actually do?

just what the title says, sorry for the basic question, I simply can't find the proper documentation or reference for the method.

 

@rsat4life
It hides an individual player from the referenced player. So, if you want to hide player1 from player 2, you would use Player2#hidePlayer(Player1);

 

@Zombie_Striker
right, but does it hide them from seeing this person? hitting this person? being seen on the tab list by this person?

 

@rsat4life

1. Yes.
2. It does prevent them from hitting the other player. (or, atleast it should. Some Anti-cheat plugins may cause the other player to be hit)
3. They should still exist on the tablist. Have not tested it.

 

I've wondered another question myself.. Does it prevent hostile mobs from being attracted to you?

 

@mehboss
No. It only sends the destroy player packet to that single player. The server still treats the player as though they are there (because, to that client and everyone else who sees him, he is still there)
