Invisible Projectile

How would I make a projectile invisible, in my case (armor stand).

Attempt:

PHP:

                $pk = new AddActorPacket();
                $pk->entityRuntimeId = Entity::$entityCount;
                $pk->type = 61;
                $pk->position = $player->asVector3();
                $pk->motion = new Vector3(0, 0, 0);
                $pk->yaw = 0;
                $pk->pitch = 0;
                $pk->metadata = [Entity::DATA_FLAGS => [Entity::DATA_TYPE_LONG, 1 << Entity::DATA_FLAG_INVISIBLE]];
                $player->sendDataPacket($pk);

Avoid using packets as much as possible. Create and register the armor stand entity, then do smt like

PHP:

$entity = Entity::createEntity(...);
$entity->setInvisible();

Oh, that makes more sense. Thanks for the explanation.

 

Why avoid?

 

why don't set scale to 0?

 

Protocol changes aren't documented and BC breaks are possible so you'll have trouble updating to newer releases
