### Remarks

The local active state of this GameObject, which is set using [GameObject.SetActive](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/gameobject/setactive.md). A locally active GameObject may still be inactive in the scene hierarchy because a parent is not active. Use [GameObject.activeInHierarchy](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/gameobject/activeinhierarchy.md) if you want to check if the GameObject is actually treated as active in the Scene.
