Hidden tileset actor goes on loading tiles

[GhisBntly]

What happened?

When a tileset has been hidden with SetHidden or SetActorHiddenInGame, tiles still load in updateView[Offline].
I expected the tileset to suspend loading of new tiles, as I was hoping to improve the realtime performance of my scene (especially when rendering a movie ie using updateViewOffline!)

Is this intended?
If not, what about testing IsHidden (only in-game or in PIE) in Cesium3DTileset::Tick to trigger an early return like when SuspendUpdate is true?
Thanks,

Environment

Cesium for Unreal version: tested in 2.14.1, but also in latest as far as I can see
Unreal Engine Version: 5.3
Operating System: Windows

Hi @GhisBntly, can you set the SuspendUpdate property instead of hiding the tileset?

Even if this works, you probably have a good point that a hidden tileset shouldn't update. I think. There's perhaps a valid use-case for allowing a non-visible tileset to update. I've found this useful in the past to support time-dynamic tilesets. Load (but don't show) the next time step, so that you can switch to it instantly when the time comes.

Hi @kring , yes SuspendUpdate probably works, I just thought I should report it because, as an API user, it seemed like an unexpected default behavior, although I agree there are valid use cases for it.
