Skilled Interaction Devices
===========================
Raise the bar and create interactable user interfaces for minigames like lockpicking and fishing.
On this page
Use the **Skilled Interaction** device to create skill-based interactions as mini-games for your players. Customize this device's settings to create good, perfect, or bad zones for players to target, which can trigger individual events attached to other devices.
Interaction Types
-----------------
You can alter this device's settings to create charge and release, timed, and quick press interactions.
### Charge and Release
The following settings were altered to create a skilled interaction where players can press and hold a command to target good and perfect zones that grant success when hit.

For help on how to find the Skilled Interaction device, see [**Using Devices**](using-devices-in-fortnite-creative).
If you're using multiple copies of a device on an island, it can be helpful to [rename](https://uefn-docs.yuzulabs.dev/documentation/en-us/fortnite/fortnite-creative-glossary#rename-a-device) them. You can choose names that relate to each device’s purpose, so it’s easier to remember what each one does.
Single and Multiplayer
----------------------
The Skilled Interaction device includes the options for single and multiplayer skill checks.
Activating one of the **Queue Execution Type** options enables multiplayer quick time events. For multiplayer, if there is no room for that round, players are placed in a queue based on the order that they join. You set the queue limit with the **Maximum Queued Players** option. If there are no active players at the time of the call for interaction, then the player skips to the interaction.

Contextual Filtering
--------------------
Some devices are affected by a feature called **contextual filtering**. This feature hides or displays options depending on the values selected for certain related options. This reduces clutter in the Customize panel and makes options easier to manage and navigate.
However, it may not be easy to recognize which options or values trigger contextual filtering. To help you identify them, in our device docs, we use _italic_ for any values that trigger contextual filtering. All options will be listed, including those affected by contextual filtering; if they are hidden or displayed based on a specific option’s value, there will be a note about that in the Description field for that option.
