Setting a rope inactive

[ApeCake]

Hey guys, I want a rope to appear when I do something. This is my first time using RopeAreas and PosNodes. So I placed a ropearea and a posnode under it. In the endposnode of the rope I wrote the name of the posnode. I set both the rope area and the posnode inactive. However they still show up ingame. So the active/inactive button doesn't work for ropeareas and posnodes? Is there any alternative way? I imagine I need to use the other options at the entity tab of the ropearea, but I can't figure it out. Thanks in advance. Sorry for spelling errors, I am typing thus on my phone because the internet on my pc doesn't work anymore.
