Despawning and Respawning Glitch

TODO: write something here. :clapping:

Vanished state

Objects in a vanished state will be intangible and invisible to the level until they attempt to move. They will also persist across all level changes and resets while vanished.

Vanishing objects

Via spring mining a turtle

Note that dying and vanishing are different. If the entity that ends up on water does not have flippers, they will simply die rather than vanish.

Via failed vanishes

If you do something that should cause a vanish but the vanish is interrupted by a level change or reset, any entity that was on the tile where the vanish took place will be vanished on level load.

(Note again that entities will un-vanish as soon as they attempt to move, which is why the glider in the above gif had to be enclosed in toggle doors in order for the vanishing not to be immediately undone.)

Generating objects

Vanished objects will generate in the same spot they were before once the next level begins. They will only become tangible and visible once they attempt to move.

Objects can generate on top of other objects. Suppose you were to reset an additional time after the glider-in-toggle-doors test:

Sometimes, upon a level change, vanished player entities will be unable to move and thus unable to generate. Level resets seem to work fine.
