# hide()

Creates an action that hides a node.

```
class func hide() -> SKAction
```

## Return Value

A new action object.

## Discussion

This action has an instantaneous duration. When the action executes, the node’s [`isHidden`](/documentation/SpriteKit/SKNode/isHidden) property is set to <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true>.

This action is reversible; the reversed action shows the node.
