Component ticking even when deactivated?

Hi there,

I’ve got some puzzling questions here:

  • doesn’t deactivating a component stop it from ticking?
  • doesn’t an actor tick its components when it’s ticked, which means its components shouldn’t be ticked if it doesn’t get ticked?

Appreciate some clarification here…thanks!

Cheers,
.

You need to set Tick to be Enabled or Disabled manually.

A component will always tick unless told otherwise.

Hi,

Yes I’m already aware of that.
My question was more about the aforementioned inconsistencies, not so much how to activate/deactivate components.

Regards.

“Deactivated” can be a pretty broad term, how so is your component deactivated?

The only time something will stop ticking is if it is destroyed or tick has been disabled.
