How do you make a sentry go from passive to aggressive and back without making it disappear?

In my game, there is a sentry that needs to stay passive for a while, and then turn aggressive. The player needs to be able to walk past the sentry while it is passive, so I can’t use the barrier technique. After a while, the sentry needs to be able to turn passive again.
I have no idea how to do this, please help.

Your incorrect, the barrier technique I think would work

wait you mean for you to walk THROUGH the sentry directly?

yes.

have a sentry overlap that sentry while the other turns off so it seems like it went from passive to aggressive?

OH wait you could have 2 sentries and the aggressive one turns off and shows a sentry that was layered under it that is passive

…did I just repeat myself ;-;

An alternative method would be to use a zone with gadge fire off, that preserves the sentry’s health if necessary.
Edit: Apparently that doesn’t work anymore, but this guide might help.

Edit 2: The link should work @Gimkitsuggestor

nonowahoo we thought of that but it came to realize they made sentries not interactable with zones anymore
