Additional Notes
- If called clientside, this will stop the physics prediction on that entity, use Entity:SetModelScale(Vector(0)) instead
- In regular entities, this will stop the model from being drawn along with any effects generated in the entity (ropes, beams, sprites, etc)
- In scripted entities, this stops the ENT:Draw() hook from being run.
- Entity:DrawModel can be run on a no-draw entity manually (for example, if you want to draw it's model in the sky or on a VGUI control).
- Use Entity.CreateShadow to make the shadow reappear if you're making an entity visible again.
- If this is set to true serverside before the client is aware of the entity, the entity is never sent to the client.
