Vanish Module

The Vanish Module is an optional Carbon module that enables administrators or moderators to toggle invisibility for players. It prevents detection by other players, AI, and server-side mechanics like helicopters or turrets. This module includes UI feedback, sound effects, and permission-controlled behavior.

Note: Vanish is highly customizable and designed to respect permission layers. It does not affect player persistence unless configured to.

Overview

• Class Name: VanishModule
• Enabled by default: No
• Supports Configuration: Yes
• Source: Carbon.Modules/VanishModule

When a player is vanished, they become invisible, unattackable, and undetectable by most game systems and AI. Reappearance restores normal status.
