### actions {#actions}

**Value type:** table

### connectionType {#connectiontype}

**Value type:** table

<h3>Logic</h3>

The interactable sends or reads a boolean signal to signal it's current state. ([isActive](../Userdata/Interactable.md#isactive)) to signal its output.

In: The interactable reads a boolean ([isActive](../Userdata/Interactable.md#isactive)) from its parent as input.

<h3>Power</h3>

Out: The controller uses a float ([getPower](../Userdata/Interactable.md#getpower)) to signal strength output (steering only).

In: The controller reads a float ([getPower](../Userdata/Interactable.md#getpower)) from its parent as input for strength.
