Collisions Interfere With Positioning

I have collisions set up. I am trying to move the player to a place on the other side of the map by using "PositionEntity", but he just collides into the wall of the place he is currently at.

What can I do to transfer him to the other side of the map without colliding with other objects in the way?

Hi, you'll need to HideEntity() before you move it.

Or

EntityType entity,0
;Move it...
EntityType entity,collision_type

MIGHT be faster?

Great! Didn't know of HideEntity()

Thanks :)

Update: It worked! I did HideEntity(cam), then positioned the cam, then did ShowEntity(cam).
