Awake() executed in a script that is deactivated

Scripting
1

Hello Unity Community,

did I miss something in the Unity roadmap, which changed the default script behaviour, so that Awake() on an attached but deactivated script is still getting executed on start of scene? Is it just me or is it Unity 5.5?

Could you please test and confirm? Thank you!

It seems to be the normal behaviour otherwise there would be no difference between Awake () and Start ():

  • Awake () is called if the script is attached to an active (enabled) object, even is the script is not enabled,
  • Start () is called if the script is attached to an active (enabled) object, if the script is enabled.

Okay, good to know then. Thought that even awake() is not executed if component is deactivated… thanks @
