Is Awake called again when using SetActive?

Unity Engine
1

If I deactivate an object, then activate it again, will the awake function be called again? If not, how can I make something like Awake() but only run it when that gameobject becomes active? Thanks

Awake gets called once in the GameObject’s lifetime.

Look into OnEnable and OnDisable

Don’t forget about Start()

Start() only gets called once in the GameObject’s lifetime
