Member of: ObjectReference Script

Syntax
Function BlockActivation(bool abBlocked = True) nativeParameters
- abBlocked: Whether to block or unblock activation.
- Default: True
Return Value
None.
Examples
; Blocks this door from processing activation normally
MyDoor.BlockActivation()
; Tells the door to handle activation normally
MyDoor.BlockActivation(false)Notes
If you block activation on a reference, the reference will no longer perform its "normal" activation processing. It won't be picked up, opened, etc. However, the script OnActivate block will still run.
Because of the way script events work, chances are that the object has already done (or ignored) its default activation processing by the time the script receives the event, so calling BlockActivation() on the object in the OnActivate block will not affect the current activation.
Also, if a script calls Activate() on an object reference which has blocked activation, the OnActivate block on that script will run, but the object will not process activation normally. (Unless the default processing only parameter is true)
Note that BlockActivation does not disable the 'Activate' UI prompt on the object.
