activate-deactivate

Overview

This block activates or deactivates entities. You can use it to disable all AI logic of your NPCs. An inactive NPC will not play any animations or react in any way to the player's actions. It will be effectively frozen. Inactive NPCs also don't take damage. When you deactivate an NPC, all its scripted tasks are interrupted. This means that if an NPC was running a patrol path, it won't resume playing it after you reactivate it. Things like AI follow and group leader are also cancelled, so you have to reset them manually when you re-enable an NPC.
