Selectively Visible

Simple question i have 2 prop_dynamics and i want one to be visible only to Atlas and the other one visible only to P-Body. I have no idea how to make this happen. Help?

My releases:
Coop Hallway || A Box of Dimensions - Appetizer
Paint Alone || Spare Map PAck

So far I can't think of any solution based on normal Hammer possibilities. Your only chance is to use a VScript.

List of Maps, Models, Textures, Instances.

I don't know if that will work either. Perhaps you could make it a client-side-only entity, or pack different versions of the same model into the map for each player?

Doesn't work in Hammer.

Then the game would tell you, that your partner has a different map version.

It checks for things like that? I didn't know that.

Well, I suppose you could distribute it as a separate file.

Can't you just have Atlas in one side of the room separated from P-Body with P-Body on his side of the room (a technique used throughout some Valve co-op maps and also some custom ones).
