# Sandbox.Component.IPressable

A component that can be pressed. Like a button. This could be by 
a player USE'ing it, or by a player walking on it, or by an NPC.
A call to Press should ALWAYS call release afterwards. Generally
this is done by the player, where holding E presses the button, and
releasing E stops pressing it. You need to handle edge cases where
the player dies while holding etc.
