Property Descriptions
---------------------

.. _class_InputEventAction_property_action:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`String<class_String>` **action** = ``""``

.. rst-class:: classref-property-setget

- void **set_action** **(** :ref:`String<class_String>` value **)**
- :ref:`String<class_String>` **get_action** **(** **)**

The action's name. Actions are accessed via this :ref:`String<class_String>`.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_InputEventAction_property_pressed:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`bool<class_bool>` **pressed** = ``false``

.. rst-class:: classref-property-setget

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

If ``true``, the action's state is pressed. If ``false``, the action's state is released.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_InputEventAction_property_strength:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`float<class_float>` **strength** = ``1.0``

.. rst-class:: classref-property-setget

- void **set_strength** **(** :ref:`float<class_float>` value **)**
- :ref:`float<class_float>` **get_strength** **(** **)**

The action's strength between 0 and 1. This value is considered as equal to 0 if pressed is ``false``. The event strength allows faking analog joypad motion events, by specifying how strongly the joypad axis is bent or pressed.
