<exsanguination microtubules> [modding] There's not a straightforward way to disable Unity prefab imposters on the current screen. For example, if you're drawing tiles in a text console menu screen or other text console UI surface, torch animations show through the menu. GameManager just checks if there's a character or a tile on the buffer and animates prefabs anywhere there's a tile.

Would be useful to have a UIView parameter (or some similar mechanism) to temporarily disable prefab animations while a menu is open.

I got this working but it took me a while to figure out a viable strategy. Would be nice to have an easier method.

Tried these things first but they didn’t work:

• Removing "HasImposter" tag from GameObjects in zone temporarily
• Calling ImposterManager.enableImposters(false)

Finally got this working by doing the following:

1. Looping through all GameObjects in zone with “HasImposter” tag
2. Adding “Non” property to each of those objects to make them not visible
3. Calling DrawBuffer(Buffer, ImposterManager.getImposterUpdateFrame()); on my menu to update the imposter visibility, hiding them
4. Then I have to go back and remove “Non” property from those objects before the menu closes.

Looks like this is fixed in the latest beta with the new ImposterSuppression mechanism.

Fixed 😁
