Wire Tool

A tool used to make connections between electrical objects. To use the Wire Tool, aim at an electrical object to highlight the available inputs and outputs (connections). Press the LMB to attach wires to these connections (wires can clip through any item). To disconnect a wired connection, highlight the connection and hold RMB. Wired connections can be disconnected with RMB while simultaneously holding a wire to then be connected. Electrical components will automatically grey out connections that cannot be paired based on their type (input vs output). Hold R to view wire color wheel.
