Activity of Actors

When you play an experience, you can view the activity of an actor in the tree.

The actor's activity depends on the context. If one or more parent actors are inactive in the hierarchy, the actor is also inactive.

The following table describes the different states of an actor and its associated behaviors during a playing session. When an item is active, it means that the Active property is selected in the Properties panel. When an item is inactive, it means that the Active property is cleared.
