+A player can interact with a block if either one of these is true:
+1, There are no areas covering the block
+2, There is at least one area covering the block with IsAllowed set to true
+The object also has a m_SafeCuboid object that specified the area within which the player may move
+without the PlayerAreas needing a re-query.
