Overview

This component provides a minimal abstraction for entities that need to track activation state and optionally respond to state changes via user-defined callbacks. It stores simple state variables (val, active, level, on) and exposes TurnOn, TurnOff, and Activate methods that invoke optional callback hooks if present. According to the source comment, this component is deprecated and should not be used; prototyper.lua is recommended instead.
