Oh so importing would automatically change your show/hide settings, essentially?

Yes. Provided that you've enabled obey Auto-guides, the settings in the new "visbility" tab on the Auto-guide of the element that you're stamping or moving would temporarily override the current visibility settings.

I think the intention isn't that you just place the warlock and that's it. But you can move those teleport pads wherever you like.

That's an interesting point. You would have to scope into the warlock's group to move the teleport pads, but if they were simplified to tags, there would be visibility settings that could hide them even when scoped in - "electronics visible off". So the circumstances under which the new Auto-guide visibility settings override the current settings would need to be broader than just "stamping the element" or "moving the element" - they would also have to include "scoped in to the element".

So you're using the warlock as an example of an asset that doesn't need this setting, right?

The warlock as it is now doesn't need this - there aren't any visibility settings that would hide those sculpts that it uses to mark the teleport destinations.

Are you saying that if we had that setting, the teleport pads could be invisible all the time, and not require the logic to make it invisible while playing time, and so would save some thermo?

Yes. If we removed the teleport destination sculpts entirely, and left only tags wired to the logic to turn them on and off, we'd save:

• the thermo of the sculpts
• the thermo of the logic to make the sculpts permanently invisible on frame zero of gameplay.

But there would be some combinations of visibility settings that would hide those tags. We would need the new "visibility" tab on the Auto-guide to ensure that the creator can see the teleport destinations while stamping, moving, or scoped in to the element.
