Any way to change object/projectile visibility via script?

You can do it with Units. It's real dandy.

I want to change object and/or projectile/scenery visibility through a map action.

Does anyone know of a way to do this?

Object Control, or OBCO. You can reveal all, reveal a random instance, or hide all instances of a projectile of a given type.

If you want a specific object to disappear and none of those flags will work, the best way is to have a CTRL give it to a hidden uncontrollable unit, thereby making it "disappear."

Man, I don't know enough about scripting to understand why this isn't possible to do directly.

There's already an object_identifier that makes it possible to select individual objects. Why oh why isn't it possible to then make a generic action to switch the invisible flag in the marker of the objects in object_identifier on or off.

I also would like to be able to control Scenery objects. No identifiers for those though..

It feels like this should be possible.

No, you can't remove scenery objects, but technically you could make a projectile that looks just like scenery, use it instead, and remove it.
