data (EntityData): A table containing the interaction data. It must include:
- id (string | number): A unique identifier for the interaction.
- netId (number): The network ID for the networked entity.
- offset? (vec3): The offset from the entity's position where the interaction is located.
- bone? (string or string[]): name of the bone to interact with or an array of bones. will use the first valid bone for the entity from the array

  - anyItem? (boolean): Only require a single item from the items table to exist.
  - remove? (boolean): when true, the entire interaction will destroy when this option is selected
  - canInteract? (function(entity?: number, distance: number, coords: vec3, id: string | number)): A function that determines if the option can be interacted with.
  - onSelect? (function(id: string | number, entity?: number, coords: vec3, distance: number)): function that gets called when the option is selected
  - export? (string): export that gets called when the option is selected.
  - event? (string): client event that gets called when the option is selected.
  - serverEvent? (string): server event that gets called when the option is selected.
  - command? (string): command that gets called when the option is selected.

- activeDistance? (number): distance at which the interaction menu is visible. Defaults to 1.0.
- cooldown? (number): The cooldown time in milliseconds between interactions to prevent spamming. Defaults to 1000.
- removeWhenDead? (boolean): If true, the interaction will be removed when the entity is dead. If it is a global interation, it will prevent the interaction from being added again while dead

Returns

id (string | number): The unique identifier for the interaction that was added.

Example

interact.addEntity({
    id = "uniqueNetworkedEntityId",
    netId = 123456,  -- Example network ID
    options = {
        {
            label = "Networked Interact Option",
            icon = "hand",  -- Example simple FA icon name
            groups = {['police'] = 1},
            items = {['money'] = 100},
            onSelect =function(data) print("Networked entity action triggered") end,
            canInteract = function(entity, distance, coords, id)
                return true
            end
        },
    },
    renderDistance = 10.0,
    activeDistance = 2.0,
    cooldown = 1500
