Return true to prevent default player rendering, which hides the player.

Example

Draw the player transparent, without having to worry about visual overdraw.

local drawingPlayer = false hook.Add( "PrePlayerDraw", "DrawPlayerTransparentPre", function( ply ) if ( drawingPlayer ) then return end render.OverrideColorWriteEnable( true, false ) drawingPlayer = true ply:DrawModel() -- This will call PrePlayerDraw again drawingPlayer = false render.OverrideColorWriteEnable( false, false ) render.SetBlend( 0.4 ) end ) hook.Add( "PostPlayerDraw", "DrawPlayerTransparentPost", function( ply ) render.SetBlend( 1 ) end )
