# enableSimulationGlobal

*Command · Object Manipulation · Arma 3 v1.12*

Locality: arguments **global** · effect **global** · **server execution only**

## Description

Enable or disable simulation for given entity, globally. Has the same effect as [enableSimulation](../commands/enableSimulation.md) when used in singleplayer.

## Syntax

```sqf
entity enableSimulationGlobal enable
```

**Parameters:**

- `entity`: [Object](../topics/Object.md)
- `enable`: [Boolean](../topics/Boolean.md)

**Returns:** [Nothing](../topics/Nothing.md)

## Examples

### Example 1

```sqf
_myObject enableSimulationGlobal false;
```

### Example 2

```sqf
[_object, false] remoteExec ["enableSimulationGlobal", 2];
```

## Multiplayer

> [!NOTE]
> Since Arma 3 v2.06 the command can also be executed client-side, with a [local](../topics/Multiplayer_Scripting.md#locality) argument.

## Community notes

**Killzone_Kid** — 2014-10-21

Units that have been previously subjected to `enableSimulation false` or `enableSimulationGlobal false` may stay unrecognised for a long time even after simulation was re-enabled, returning [objNull](../commands/objNull.md) as [cursorTarget](../commands/cursorTarget.md). Force revealing units with [reveal](../commands/reveal.md) command usually solves the problem. For example:

```sqf
player reveal previouslySimDisabledUnit;
```
