Hiding entities

Is there any way to tell Blitz3D do not render entities (animated or static) when these are far away from camera, in order to improve speed execution?

Thanks

Well, you can do this using EntityInView, EntityDistance (from camera) and HideEntity. Don't know how much of a speedup this would buy you, though. Guess it depends on the game.

Also, If you use HideEntity, those entities no longer take part in collisions. If this is a problem, set the mesh's EntityAlpha to 0 to hide them instead. This will stop them from being rendered, but still participate in collisions.

I think that's right.

or just set the camera draw distance and blitz will handle it for you.

And there's EntityAutoFade, too.

Thanks!
