Summary
I’m trying to make the player character invisible without removing the added visual effects (via the Visual Effects Enhancement module), but when I use “fortnitecharacter.hide”, these visual effects are also hidden.
I know there are other methods to attach VFX to a player, but the problem is that this is the only method that works in my case because the VFX need to be directly on the player since the Niagara system I’m using requires the player’s bones to function.
