[Chainloader] HideManagerGameObject meaning?

[worldly tapir]

I just noticed this option affects the behaviour in lots of mods.
As far as I know, it jumps the whole Start() function when this option is disabled.
So what does this option means actually?
Could anyone please give me some clues?

[Chainloader]

## If enabled, hides BepInEx Manager GameObject from Unity.
## This can fix loading issues in some games that attempt to prevent BepInEx from being loaded.
## Use this only if you know what this option means, as it can affect functionality of some older plugins.
## 
# Setting type: Boolean
# Default value: false
HideManagerGameObject = false

it bascially hides the main classes that are loaded by BepinEx from Unity so it cant call cleanup on them aka the destory() as alot of games do a scene change on startup which deletes the scripts that why you typically want to work around it by doing it on awake yourself where you mark a GO as DontUnload or whatever it was and have that GO hold your script

hope that makes sens im bad at explaining stuff

and by loaded from BepinEx i mean the mods btw

but ye it does more than just skipping the Start() it destroys the class so the Update() and so on wont work inside of the main class either

as ye it gets intialised and then destroyed by Unity

LC isnt the only game that does it btw. For example Raft does it too this is my entire Awake() for my raft mod

and then because i enabled my HarmonyPatches in it before it got destroyed i use the HarmonyPatch to add the GO each time i join a game on Raft which like you see add my AFKDetector script into a GO i create called AFKManager

hope this makes a bit more sens but i dont mark them as dont destroy on load or anything as i dont want this to persist between levels in my case

but ye you can try it by adding void Destroy() inside of your main mod class and put a debug in it and you can see that it gets called after getting loaded
