- In the inspector click "Add" to create a new action.

## Object Types
- **Menu** - A set of actions tied to the avatar's expression menu. (Toggles, buttons, sub-menus, etc...).
- **Basic** - Actions with no default trigger conditions. They are either always running or can have a custom set of triggers. (Idles, AFKs, etc...)
- **Gestures** - Actions tied directly to gestures. These actions don't have exit states, as they quickly transition from one action to another.
- **Viseme** - Actions tied directly to visemes. These actions don't have exit states, as they quickly transition from one action to another.

## Menu Actions ##
- **Name** - Display name in expressions menu.
- **Icon** - Display icon in expressions menu.
- **Type** - Type of action.
- Toggle - Toggle on/off.
- Button - Press and release.
- Slider - Radial menu. Plays an animation at a position based on the slider's value.
- Sub-Menu - Opens a new menu.
- Pre-Existing (Advanced) - Preserves a menu item that already exists in the VRCExpressionsMenu object.
- **Fade in** - Time to fade in.
- **Hold** - Time to hold before checking for exit conditions.
- **Fade out** -Time to fade out.
- **Parameter** - Which parameter used to control this action. You can share parameters between actions and in most cases this is prefered. VRChat limits avatars to 16 total parameters. When actions share a parameter only one can be active at a time.
- **Object Properties** - Simple actions you want to perform when this action is enabled. (Toggle objects, swap materials, play audio, etc...)
- **Animations** - Animations to play when this control is active.
- Enter - The base animation, it plays at the start.
- Exit - An optional animtion to play when exiting.
- **Parameter Drivers (Advanced)** - Modify parameters or menu toggles when this control is active.
- **IK Overrides (Advanced)** - Informs the avatar to disable certain IK controls over the avatar while the control is active.
- **Triggers (Advanced)** - Additional enter or exit conditions for this action.
- **Sub-Actions (Experimental)** - Supply any number of non-menu action sets. These actions will only activate if this control is also active.
