class Action

The Action class represents an action that can be triggered by an input control.

class Action : public LinkTarget<Action>, public ListElement<Action>, public Memory<InputDevice>

Action::GetActionType	Returns the type of action.
Action::HandleEngage	Called when an associated input control is engaged.
Action::HandleDisengage	Called when an associated input control is disengaged.
Action::HandleDirectionalUpdate	Called when an associated input control has new directional data.
Action::HandleAxisUpdate	Called when an associated input control has new axis data.
Action::HandleSliderUpdate	Called when an associated input control has new slider data.

explicit Action(ActionType type);

type	The type of the action.

An application typically creates several Action objects representing the various actions that a player can perform in a game. Examples of actions are forward and backward movements and firing a weapon. Once an action object is created, it must be registered with the Input Manager by calling the InputMgr::AddAction function.

An action object is assigned to an input control by calling the InputControl::SetInputControlAction function. One action object may be assigned to multiple input controls. After an action object is assigned to an input control, it can receive calls to its virtual member functions in response to user input to that input control.

Each action must have a unique type. An application can choose any 32-bit identifier that does not consist entirely of uppercase letters and numbers to pass in the type paramater of the Action constructor.

LinkTarget<Action>	Used internally by the Input Manager.
ListElement<Action>	Used internally by the Input Manager.
Memory<InputDevice>	Actions are allocated in a dedicated heap.
