# Interactable component ## Functions ### 1. Activate/Deactivate Works like any other component in unreal engine, if deactivated it will not show the UI nor overlay. Interaction will be disabled.
### 2. Set Interactable Name Text This is the text that shows up bolded inside the user interface widget.
### 3. Set Interactable Action Text This is the text that shows up after the "Press/Hold E to {Action}". It is the verb that describes the action that happens when you interact with the object (Sit, Drink, Pickup, etc.)
### 4. On Begin/End Interact These events get called when the player only presses to interact or lets go of the key to interact. If you have, for an example, a pickup to interact with you should use On Interact to open it.
### 5. On Begin/End Focus These events get called when the player looks at an interactable or looks away. They do not control the actual interaction of the interactable.
### 6. On Interact This events gets called when the player finishes the interaction, it also means the Can Interact checks were valid. This event should be use to do your custom functionality, as picking up an item.
### 7. Can Interact In this function, you can implement custom checks that need to be completed for the player to be able to interact. The **Parent: Can Interact** is the c++ override if you have one (Yes, this can also be overidden in c++ as all the other events).
