Summary0005907: Allow way to hide some entities in Create Entity list
DescriptionI feel it could be useful to be able to 'tag' some entities to be hidden in the Create Entity list. For example: there are some entities, such as "damage_*", that are never placed in maps and can sometimes muddle search results.

I would suggest giving entity definitions a "editor_hidden" "1" keyvalue to exclude the entity from the Create Entity list -- but I'm sure any alternative implementation would be fine.
TagsNo tags attached.

Not all entityDefs are designed to be created in the .map file, but it can still be useful to view them in order see their properties. Rather cumbersome to do in DR since it usually involves creating a temporary brush, converting it into that entity and checking the spawnarg list in the entity inspector - but I wouldn't permanently hide viable entities from the entity list. Maybe it should be possible to right-click > hide certain entities or folders from within the Create Entity menu so each mapper can decide what entities he wants to work with?

The feature - as proposed with the new property in the entityDef - would, however, be excellent for deprecating individual entities without having to deprecate the whole .def file.

Is there a new .def setting to hide entities as a result of this resolution, like editor_hidden 1? I'd like to deprecate some entities and make new ones with very similar names - so I'd like to stop the old entities from showing up in a search.

The new def setting is:
"editor_visibility" "hidden"

0005907: remove redundant EntityClass constructor

For some reason there was a whole separate constructor just to default
the fixedSize parameter to false. This is now using a simple default
argument value.

0005907: remove the "empty attribute" from EntityClass

The getAttribute() methods are now private, and return a nullable
pointer to an EntityClassAttribute rather than a reference. This removes
the need for a placeholder empty attribute to return if the named
attribute is not found.

0005907: EntityClass::getVisibility() returns value from spawnargs

Instead of a constant value, getVisibility() now returns the correct
value based on the presence of an "editor_visibility" spawnarg. The
value is initialised lazily by way of a new Lazy class template which
provides a generic means of lazily initialising a value using a callback
function.
