Is player hidden?

[Quintaros]

Is there a variable which can be called in a script to determine if a room is using the "Hide Player Character" feature?

I spent almost an hour searching the manual but eventually resorted to a work around with a custom room property.Ã,  If such a feature does not exist, I suggest it would be a useful addition.

The Character.on property should do that. It's not documented in the manual, but it's definately been mentioned on the forums before - try a search for 'Hide Player Character' or 'making characters invisible' - and it's mentioned in the Tidbit's and Snippets Wiki article.
It's not actually limited to rooms with 'Hide Player Character' checked, as you can make the player invisible at any time using player.on = false;, but maybe it's of some use? I.e.:

Code: ags

if (player.on == false) {
  // Do stuff
}

If not, a Custom Property might be the best way.

Perfect...thank you.
