Member Variables
----------------

- :ref:`int<class_int>` **ID** - Event identifier, positive integer increased at each new event.
- :ref:`int<class_int>` **device** - Device identifier.
- :ref:`int<class_int>` **type** - Type of event (one of the [InputEvent] constants).

Numeric Constants
-----------------

- **NONE** = **0** --- Empty input event.
- **KEY** = **1** --- Key event.
- **MOUSE_MOTION** = **2** --- Mouse motion event.
- **MOUSE_BUTTON** = **3** --- Mouse button event.
- **JOYSTICK_MOTION** = **4** --- Joystick motion event.
- **JOYSTICK_BUTTON** = **5** --- Joystick button event.
- **SCREEN_TOUCH** = **6** --- Screen touch event.
- **SCREEN_DRAG** = **7** --- Screen drag event.
- **ACTION** = **8** --- Pre-defined action event (see :ref:`InputMap<class_inputmap>`).

Description
-----------

Input event type for actions that extends the global :ref:`InputEvent<class_inputevent>` type.

Member Function Description
---------------------------

.. _class_InputEventAction_is_action:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>`  **is_action**  **(** :ref:`String<class_string>` action  **)**

Return if this input event matches a pre-defined action, i.e. always true for InputEventAction.

.. _class_InputEventAction_is_action_pressed:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>`  **is_action_pressed**  **(** :ref:`String<class_string>` action  **)**

Return whether the given action is being pressed.

.. _class_InputEventAction_is_action_released:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>`  **is_action_released**  **(** :ref:`String<class_string>` action  **)**

Return whether the given action is released (i.e. not pressed).

.. _class_InputEventAction_is_echo:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>`  **is_echo**  **(** **)**

Return if this input event is an echo event (only for events of type KEY, i.e. always false for this type).

.. _class_InputEventAction_is_pressed:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>`  **is_pressed**  **(** **)**

Return if this input event is pressed.

.. _class_InputEventAction_set_as_action:

- void  **set_as_action**  **(** :ref:`String<class_string>` action, :ref:`bool<class_bool>` pressed  **)**

Change the input event to an action event of the given name with the pressed status passed as argument.
