I used the following code: Code: ENTITY* wheelShadow = ent_create("buggy.mdl", vector(30, -35, -15), NULL); wheelShadow.flags2 &=~SHOW; wheelShadow.flags &=~SHOW; The problem is the entity is always shown in the screen! Even if I eliminated SHOW flag. I even tried: Code: ENTITY* wheelShadow = ent_create("buggy.mdl", vector(30, -35, -15), NULL); wheelShadow.flags2 = 0; wheelShadow.flags = 0; But I got the same result. Can you help me? Why I cannot hide the entity? Thank you for your help!

Thank you again for your help!
