Similar to [[%CompileNoDraw]], except this can be applied to models. This can be used as a workaround to the broken "Removemodel" on [[$lod]], or to have a material disappear in a specific skin.

$no_draw is a material shader parameter available in all Source Source games. It is a setting that causes the material to not be drawn or rendered at all. Usually used to quickly hide parts of a model, without having to make a transparent texture.

Similar to %CompileNoDraw, except this can be applied to models. This can be used as a workaround to the broken "Removemodel" on $lod, or to have a material disappear in a specific skin.

Confirm:Not on all shaders? Seems to not work on wireframe, since mat_wireframe causes the geometry to render.
