# | #Calling '''''Activate''''' on an object which doesn't have an '''''onActivate''''' block in its script, or has no script at all, will prevent that object from being activated normally ever again. For example, if Activate is called on an unscripted container, the player will no longer be able to open that container by activating it with the spacebar; similarly, calling Activate on unscripted NPCs prevents the player from being able to talk to them. | ||
