# hideActions

*Command · Interaction · Arma 3 v2.22*

## Description

> [!IMPORTANT]
> This command is a work in progress and can evolve until release on stable branch.

Hides/unhides user UI actions given by their enum number (see [shownAction](../commands/shownAction.md)).

> [!NOTE]
> This command hides actions for the current player ([focusOn](../commands/focusOn.md)), a respawned player will have all actions unhidden so it must be reapplied.

## Community notes

**Honger** — 2026-08-27

Hidden actions will also be unhidden once a game save is loaded/game is continued, "Loaded" Mission EH is therefore needed to maintain the chosen actions hidden. Actions need to be hidden again if player takes control of a UAV.
