Issue description

Expected:
Tilemap still has collision when invisible.
This is how it works in 4.1.2

Actual:
Tilemap has no collision if set visible to false.

Steps to reproduce

1. Add a tilemap to your level
2. Add a tileset and add collision
3. Add something that reacts upon the collison layer of said tilemap.
4. Set the tilemap to be invisible (via code)
5. See the "something" noclips at the invisible tilemap

Well, this was a bug that got fixed.

If you need that feature again you can set the TileMap modulate property to have an alpha of 0 for now, that should do the trick. There's demand for it, I guess we could implement a "disable rendering only" feature though.

Please add a "disable rendering only" feature - this is a problem that caught me out with other nodes too, not just Tilemaps.

[AThousandShips]

In this case the behavior of TileMap breaks with how other sources of physics works, so documentation is important, and an option to make it match other code (and old code) would be good

[Mickeon]

Yeah. If I make the player invisible it's not like he'd start spontaneously falling through the ground. Are we sure this should qualify as a bug being fixed here? This... renders TileMap the exception, not the norm.

I've just checked and indeed you are right that physics node still work when being made invisible.
So yeah, for consistency this should be working as other physics nodes. I'll fix that.
