What are activators?[edit | edit source]

An activator is a World Object can be used (or activated) by an actor or another activator. As a rule, they have scripts on them with Begin OnActivate blocks that trap the attempt to use them and perform some action. An activator without a script will still show the activation icon to the player, even if it is inert.

A typical example of an activator is the push buttons seen in many of the Ayleid ruins.


Activators can:

  • be activated
  • cast spells
  • act as global data stores (if they are persistant references)
  • use the Reference Variable Function GetSelf
