Disable / Enable Player 4.5.9

[baardbi]

Here's a trick I learned from @dale_coop. So I take no credit for this.

If you need to temporarily hide the player and make him inactive here's what you do:

Disable player:

LDA Object_status,x
AND #%11000001
STA Object_status,x

To enable him again just use this code:

Enable Player:

LDA Object_status,x
ORA #%00111110
STA Object_status,x

While inactive the player will be invisible and you can't control him. He will not have any collision and can't interact with his surroundings.
