Description

This command unmasks the entities contained within the collectors of entity_type that are on mark_id. Valid mark_ids are 1 and 2. Only entities in displayed collectors may be unmasked.

The six flag arguments indicate the type of entities to unmask within the specified collectors. If the flag is set to 1, that entity is unmasked. If the flag is set to 0, that entity is not modified. Currently supported entity_types and flags are:
