Interactable

The Interactable monobehaviour is required on any Prefab that the player will be able to interact with. It is also required on Prefabs that are remotely controlled by switches.

Usage

Interactable inherits from the base class, Spawnable. All Interactables can have one or more interactable options. The Interactable component allows the object to be interacted with, and the Interactable Options provide unique functionality and interaction options.

Properties

In addition to the properties of the base class, Spawnable, Interactable has the following properties.

Name
Description

Show Tooltip

If true, a UI tooltip will be shown when the mouse hovers over the object.

Interactable Name

The name of the object that will be shown in the mouseover tooltip.

Glow On Mouse Over

If true, the material of the object will be replaced with a glowing material while the mouse is hovering over it.

Glow Color

The default color of the glow outline. This will be overridden on character units depending on the faction relationship color.

Interaction Tooltip Text

Set this value to override the default 'Interact' option for the gamepad interaction tooltip

Not Interactable

Set this value to prevent direct interaction from the player. This can be useful for interactables that only need to be activated with control switches.

Interact With Any

Set this to true to allow triggering interaction with anything that has a collider, not just players.

Interact On Exit

Set this to true to cause the interaction to trigger on when something exits the collider.

Is Trigger

If true, interaction is triggered by a collider, and not by clicking with the mouse

Suppress Interaction Window

Set this to true to automatically activate the first interactable instead of opening the interaction window and presenting the player with interaction options.

Interaction Max Range

For everything except character unit interactions, the interactor must be within this range of this objects collider. This does not apply to interactions triggered by switches.
