**Category:** Executor
**Tier:** Basic

## Purpose

Shows or hides the object (and optionally its children) by toggling visibility.

## Visual Reference

```{raw} html
<div class="illustration-container"><div class="illustration-box"><div class="box-header">As added to your scene</div><img src="https://gdlink.solventech.ca/guide/assets/images/bricks/visibility_executor.png" alt="Visibility brick as it appears in the GDLink editor" loading="lazy" style="max-width:100%;height:auto;display:block;margin:0 auto;border-radius:8px;" /></div></div>
```

## When To Use

- Hide objects until needed (reveal on trigger)
- Toggle UI elements (show/hide menus)
- Invisibility power-ups
- Hide dead enemies
- Show/hide debug visualizations
- Flickering effects (with Delay listener)
- Cutscene object reveals

## Runtime Behavior

**Executes**: When activated, sets the object's visibility to the specified state
