Property Descriptions

.. _class_InputEventAction_property_action:

- :ref:`String<class_String>` **action**

+-----------+-------------------+
| *Default* | ``""``            |
+-----------+-------------------+
| *Setter*  | set_action(value) |
+-----------+-------------------+
| *Getter*  | get_action()      |
+-----------+-------------------+

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

----

.. _class_InputEventAction_property_pressed:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **pressed**

+-----------+--------------------+
| *Default* | ``false``          |
+-----------+--------------------+
| *Setter*  | set_pressed(value) |
+-----------+--------------------+
| *Getter*  | is_pressed()       |
+-----------+--------------------+

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

----

.. _class_InputEventAction_property_strength:

- :ref:`float<class_float>` **strength**

+-----------+---------------------+
| *Default* | ``1.0``             |
+-----------+---------------------+
| *Setter*  | set_strength(value) |
+-----------+---------------------+
| *Getter*  | 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.
