<dd class="note">The above comment is partially incorrect, if the effects of the command are local then it must be executed in every machine so it has global effect. If it is run only on the server machine, it will only be hidden on the server, while clients still see it.

Sometimes it´s easier to teleport the object about 100m under the ground (also JiP Support):

Shuko
This command will hide a unit, but he will still shoot enemies. Unit will be invisible, but weapon muzzle are visible.
McHide
Use MP framework to activate this command on all players from server or any other maschine _nic = [nil, mantohide, "per", rHideObject, true ] call RE; // In A3 use hideObjectGlobal instead.
DamonDaemon
Hidden Vehicles still emit smoke/rotor blade dust and (probably) still emit engine sounds. Useful for creating objects the mission maker doesn't want to be seen, like Units that protect a certain Area (like a safe-zone) against teamkillers or enemy units.
