This article covers different techniques to making a vehicle disappear.<br><br>

'''Option 1'''<br>
The <code><streamoutdistance></code> in server config applies to all elements unless changed for a specific element with [[element.streamOutDistance|element.streamOutDistance]].<br>
The stream out distance must be higher than the stream in distance.<br>
See [[ServerConfiguration|ServerConfiguration]] and [[element.streamOutDistance|element.streamOutDistance]]<br><br>

'''Option 2'''<br>
The [[netFlags.distanceStreaming|netFlags.distanceStreaming]] property sets whether to use distance to stream the element.<br>
If this is false, it will always stream in for all clients regardless of how far away it is.<br>
See [[netFlags.distanceStreaming|netFlags.distanceStreaming]]<br><br>

'''Option 3'''<br>
The [[netFlags.alwaysExistForSyncer|element.netFlags.alwaysExistForSyncer]] property sets whether the element will always be streamed in for whoever is syncing the element (syncer sends updates to the server about the element's position, rotation, other data etc).<br>
See [[netFlags.alwaysExistForSyncer|netFlags.alwaysExistForSyncer]]<br><br>

'''Option 4'''<br>
The [[netFlags.transient|element.netFlags.transient]] sets whether to delete the vehicle completely when it's not streamed in for anybody.<br>
Useful for temporary cars like traffic. This is set to false by default for vehicles you spawned via scripts.<br>
See [[netFlags.transient|netFlags.transient]]<br><br>
