Probe Function
Probe functions are functions that can be enabled (via Object.Enable() function), disabled (via Object.Disable() function) or ignored in states.
By default all these functions are enabled. When disabled or when the object is in a state that ignores a probe function, that particular function will not be called by the engine when its corresponding event occurs. Ignored or disabled probe functions can still be called from UnrealScript code.

StarWeaver: Is this all the information anyone has on this? I tried looking up what enable() does while looking at weapon code and this is pretty much what's given for that function. I take it that there is a short list of functions that this feature is used for in the native code somewhere, and enable/disable only works on those?
