NOCLIP & INVISIBLE vs. NOSECTOR vs. NOINTERACTION & INVISIBLE.
Which one is least "hacky"?
What I want to do is hide an actor from the map, but keep it around so ACS and other action special checks can still work.
EDIT: Protip: don't use NOSECTOR without NOBLOCKMAP on revivable monsters. Archviles would crash the game upon resurrecting them. Fixed. Thanks, folks.
Most appropriate way to "hide" an actor?

I think NOINTERACTION should be sufficient. You can set RenderStyle to None too.

You definitely should use NOBLOCKMAP+NOSECTOR to remove the actor from as many internal processing lists as possible.
