In detail pannel, there are ‘actor hidden in game’ option exist.

Check this option, does it simply become visually invisible when playing?

In my case, I used static mesh for groud collision.

(collision preset is block all, use complex collsion as simple.)

(And this object has a perfectly transparent material that is not visible.)

But if use transparent material, I’m considering the option to ‘actor hidden in game’ because it has a bad effect on performance.

So, I want to make this object to be invisible, but always has collision.

If I check ‘actor hidden in game’ option, Can I get the result I want?

Hidden Actors are effectively removed from level in terms of collision, visibility, physics interactions or tick events, etc.

So you mean, if I check that option, the collisions will disappear when I play?

No, both “Visibility” and “Actor Hidden in Game” checkboxes only toggle visibility, the collision continues to work:

You should be able to obtain the result you want, but if the mesh is never going to be shown consider using collision components instead of a custom mesh collision (if you don’t need that specific shape, obviously)
