#1 It means whether or not the object gets updated or not. Plain and simple.

#2 So shouldn't that keep behaviors on the object from running?

#3 I'm not sure, I'll look into it for you. Have you tried disabling the behaviors on the object as well?

#4 Disabling an object disabled the behaviors attached. Are you experiencing otherwise? Which behavior are you using?

#5 I'm thinking it might have to do with me using schedule , I'm running a behavior similar to timerShoots.
Heres the code I came up with, I meshed timerShoots with faceObject. It allows me to fire at an object, say the player, without the object firing to turn to face the target. Disabling the object has stopped the rotation of the firing but not the actualy firing. So like I said I'm guessing its part of schedule wich I'm thinking I'll fix with an if statement.

#6 Try adding this:

function ShootAtObject::fire(%this)
{
    if (!this.isEnabled())
        return;
   ...
}
