	This function can change an [[element]]'s [[visibility]]. This ~~does not work~~ with ~~all entities -~~ [[~~vehicle~~]]s, [[~~player~~]]s ~~and~~ [[~~object~~]]s are exempt. This is because these objects are required for accurate sync (they're physical objects that contribute to the physics engine). This function is particularly useful for changing the visibility of markers, radar blips and radar areas.		This function can change an [[element]]'s [[visibility]].

			This function only works with the following elements.
			* [[Marker]]s
			* [[Blip]]s
			* [[Radararea]]s

	Visibility settings of lower elements in the element tree override higher ones - if visibility for root is set to false and for a player is set to true, it will be visible to the player.
