==Interactive Part List Functions (OUTDATED)==
===Interactive functions===
Interactive parts include buttons and switches, engines, seats and everything that has a specific function. Here's all the functions you can add to your part list:
{| class="wikitable"
|"bearing": { }
|bearing
|-
|"timedjoint": { }
|controller
|-
|"lever": { }
|switch
|-
|"button": { }
|button
|-
|"sensor": { }
|sensor
|-
|"radio": { }
|radio
|-
|"horn": { }
|horn
|-
|"logic": { }
|logic gate
|-
|"timer": { }
|timer
|}
These are easy to implement, just add them to your part list and you're done. If you wish to make them animate, you'll need some additional lines and models.

===Pose animation===
Lets take a closer look on the part list for an ordinary button:

Here you can see that it's not much different from the other part lists. The material has been changed to support pose animations.

Pose animations are simple, and don't require any animation.

You simply export two models, one with the model in its off state, in this case an un-pressed button. And one in its on state, pushed button.

It's important that these two models are identical, and that you only move vertices to get the other state.

===Advanced interactive functions===
These require some more lines to work properly, we recommend copying the .json file from the game files and then edit them to fit your mod. You can find the .json for all interactive parts here:
