 Elements able to occupy an interaction spot have to use the [[behavior_occupier|ECBehaviorOccupier]] behavior. Both the interaction spot and the occupier have to persist the other behavior. During restoring no notifications are triggered this way.

+====== Events ======
+===== spotClaimed =====
+Occupier has claimed spot.
+===== spotReleased =====
+Occupier has release spot.
+====== Behavior Tree Actions ======
+This behavior adds these behavior tree actions if behavior tree is present. If behavior has non-empty identifier replace ''interactionSpot'' with ''interactionSpot(id)''.
+===== interactionSpot.update =====
+Update interact spot.
+^Parameter^Value^Description^
+|release| |Release occupied if one interaction spot is not empty.|
+|interactElement.assign|string|Assign occupying element to [[behavior_interactelement|ECBehaviorInteractElement]] with identifier matching value string. Action fails if no element is occupying or interact element behavior is absent|
+|interact|string|Interact with occupier. If element is absent action fails. Runs interaction with name value. If interaction with name value is absent fails action. If interaction returns false fails action. Otherwise action succeeds.|
+|interact.parameters|string|Optional parameters to use with ''interaction''.|
+This is an example of using this action:
+<code xml>
+<action name='interactionSpot.update'>
+  <parameter name='release'/>
+</action>
+</code>
+===== interactionSpot.check =====
+Check one or more interaction spot parameters. Action succeeds if all parameter value matches their respective interaction spot parameter otherwise action fails. This action is typically used as first action in a sequence to run the sequence only if a interaction spot parameter matches (or not).
+^Parameter^Value^Description^
+|empty|''true'', ''false''|Interaction spot is empty, hence not occupied by an occupier|
+|interact.name|string|Name of interaction|
+|interact.has|''true'', ''false''|Has occupier and interaction with name ''interaction.name'' is present|
+|interact.query|''true'', ''false''|Interact with occupier and test result.

+|interact.parameters|string|Optional parameters to use with ''interaction.query''.|
+|wait| |If present action returns BTResult.running instead of BTResult.failed to wait until the checks are all fulfilled|

+  <action name='interactionSpot.check'>
+    <parameter name='empty'>true</parameter>
+  </action>
+  <!-- actions here run only if interaction spot is empty, hence not occupied by an occupier -->

+====== Behavior Tree Conditions ======
+This behavior adds these behavior tree conditions if behavior tree is present. If behavior has non-empty identifier replace ''interactionSpot'' with ''interactionSpot(id)''.
+===== interactionSpot.check =====
+Check one or more interaction spot parameters. Conditions returns true if all parameter value match their respective interaction spot parameter. This condition is typically used to run an action or sequence of actions as long as interaction spot conditions are true.
+^Parameter^Value^Description^
+|interactionSpot.empty|''true'', ''false''|Interaction spot is empty, hence not occupied by an occupier|
+|interactionSpot.interact.name|string|Name of interaction|

+<action name='myAction' id='doing something'>
+  <parameter name='interactionSpot.empty'>true</parameter>

+====== State Machine Actions ======
+Same as [[#behavior_tree_actions|Behavior Tree Actions]].

+===== interactionSpot.claimed =====
+Occupier has claimed spot.
+===== interactionSpot.released =====
+Occupier has release spot.
 ====== Required Behaviors ======
 This behavior does not required other behaviors to be present.
 ====== Optional Behaviors ======
-This behavior does not support optional behaviors.
+  * [[behavior_behaviortree|ECBehaviorBehaviorTree]]: Add actions and conditions for behavior trees to use.
+  * [[behavior_statemachine|ECBehaviorStateMachine]]: Add actions and conditions for state machine to use and events to send to the state machine.
 ====== Persistency ======
-This behavior does support element class to be persistable (setPersistable). Saves [[behavior_occupier|ECBehaviorOccupier]] if present.

 ====== Use Cases ======
   * Ensure actor/player is at a specific position and orientation relative to an interactive element to ensure animation of actor/player and interactive element properly line up.
   * Ensure only one actor/player uses an interactive element at each time.

+====== Behavior Factory ======
+Using element class supporting adding behaviors the behavior can be added like this:
+<code xml>
+<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
+<elementClass name='MyClass' class='GenericBehaviorElement'>
+  <behavior type='ECBehaviorComponent'/>
+  <behavior type='ECBehaviorCollider'/>
+  <behavior type='ECBehaviorInteractionSpot'>
+    <!-- optional: use behavior tree with id instead of empty string -->
+    <string name='behaviorTree'>second</string>
+    <!-- optional: use state machine with id instead of empty string -->
+    <string name='stateMachine'>second</string>
+    <!-- set element properties. omit property prefix if used inside behavior tag -->
+    <vector name='.lookAt' x='0' y='0.2' z='0.5'/>
+  </behavior>
+  <!-- for adding multiple behaviors use unique identifiers -->
+  <behavior type='ECBehaviorInteractionSpot' id='second'/>
+</elementClass>
+</code>

   * [[https://github.com/LordOfDragons/deexamples/blob/master/exampleApp/data/scripts/PlayerActorClass.ds|PlayerActorClass.ds]]: Player actor class. Uses occupier behavior to safely do interactions.
   * [[https://github.com/LordOfDragons/deexamples/blob/master/exampleApp/data/scripts/PlayerActionInteractToggle.ds|PlayerActionInteractToggle.ds]]: Player action interacting with BehaviorInteractToggle. Tries to claim the assigned interaction spot and if successful moves to the spot and uses the element. Once finished releases the interaction spot.
