Is there a way to make actors appear invisible to its target

[Dan_The_Noob]

The Blank frames work perfectly. It just that when A_Warp is called, you see the side of the gun for a fraction of a second, and I assume that's because the players view is catching up with the position of where they are according to the game, which is slightly ahead in the direction they're moving.

what's the A_Warp for?

Mini--Joe, I guess that can be achieved if you will use a few different direction frames of those are which will be warped in front of the player. A main trick itself to use blank\100% transparent sprites for directions on which the player looks, but meantime other peoples would see visible sprite sides of the same actor. But this way can be a bit glitchy if you will use only 8 directions instead of 16.

EDIT:
Also you can try to use VisibleAngles property.

I tried using blank sprites for 3 of 16 angles, which gave me the exact effect I wanted; HOWEVER when I straferun backwards and diagonally-backwards, A_Warp warps the actor to where the player will be, which results in flickering of the visible rotations that happen when you're standing on top or very close to an actor.

I guess that your A_Warp parameters\flags are bit unsuitable. So yeah, do you can post screenshot of glitch and source of _Warp?

Without sample of your code I can only assume that the
"A_Warp(AAPTR_POINTER,x,y,z,0,WARPF_NOCHECKPOSITION|WARPF_WARPINTERPOLATION|WARPF_COPYVELOCITY)"
or
"A_Warp(AAPTR_POINTER,x,y,z,0,WARPF_NOCHECKPOSITION|WARPF_WARPINTERPOLATE)" would be the best option and should provide smooth warping toward player.

I sadly can't offer any help, but how about making it like in Duke Nukem 3D, Shadow Warrior & Blood where the pickup sprite of the currently selected weapon is displayed over the adversaries' head?

Thank you for the help, the solution was to use the flag "WARPF_INTERPOLATE". Now the actor perfectly mimics the movement of the player, which is exactly what I wanted!

Thank you everyone for your help!
