[sudden lagoon]

Any one could help?
I am trying to check if touch event was triggered on UI or not. But cannot find correct way. IsPonterOverGameObject is late one frame, so I cannot check if I actually selected UI or not. I am starting pulling my hairs out...

EventSystem.current.IsPointerOverGameObject());

[viral whale]

Hello, i have a problem that keeps happening to me, when using OnTriggerStay, it does not register my input if my player stands still, I have to move around inside the collider and press a input multiple times for it to activate!?..

[austere grotto]

Better is to just use the event system in the first place for your Raycasts and you get this for free

[austere grotto]

Input should only be read in Update.

Other functions do not run every frame

[heady river]

so umm is there any documentation that could help m,e?

[sullen lintel]

What docs are you looking for ? You could've just screenshotted the transitions this whole time and you did not.
You did not show if animation clips even have a Loop checked, put debugs if you're lost.

[heady river]

im debugging right now but her are my transitions

ahh so i debugged and its not registering my key pressed so its not switching the animations

[heady river]

Null?

[sullen lintel]

turn off exit times first

[sullen lintel]

how's it not registering , you are using the new Input system?

[heady river]

I already turned off exit times

[heady river]

I am using the new input system

[sullen lintel]

show your current code

[lusty haven]

can anyone help to know each type for those like axis is float

[chilly verge]

Did the new input system recently make it so you can't have multiple actions checking for the same input? I have two action maps, the first action map is for base player movement which is testing for the WASD keys, the second action map is for a minigame that appears on the screen and it tests for A/D input, when I was using unity 2021.3.3f1 I could have both action maps running at the same time with no issues, but I recently upgraded my project to 2021.3.8f1 and ever since then A/D input is only detected when I disable the other action map, is this a bug or a new feature recently added? Cuz it's messing up a lot of things in my game now and its been hella annoying to work around

[heady river]

this is my log

[heady river]

wait i didnt even send the ss

@sullen lintel

[sullen lintel]

configure Visual Studio first, screenshot after its done .

#854851968446365696

[heady river]

Weird it was configured the last time I opened unity

[heady river]

all configured up now heres the ss

[tired juniper]

How would I go about detecting when a flick occurs on the joystick and then calling a function based on that flick? I can't seem to figure out how to do this with the new Unity Input system so do I have to use the old system?

Basically, I want to create a binding for when the player flicks from one extreme of the joystick to the center

[austere grotto]

I'd just do it in code

You'd probably need to write a custom interaction for that to be done in the binding itself

I guess you could try the TapInteraction? https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.4/manual/Interactions.html#tap

[tired juniper]

Do you think this could work with a joystick giving me a <Value> action type? The direction of the flick doesn't matter, I just need to see if the user flicks

[austere grotto]

yes

that's why I suggested it might

[exotic spear]

Hi I've noticed a problem with my mouse look in my game in which it periodically jerks to one side at seemingly random times as shown by the highlighted bit in console logs below
I'll also include my settings and code snippets

    {
        look = value.ReadValue<Vector2>();
        Debug.Log(look);
    }

I use dynamic update for the input system in project settings

[sullen lintel]

Ok Good. Now which of the logs are you getting in the console?

[exotic spear]

Update to question: I decided to check if the profiler could give me a clue and found this happens at the same time as the mouse' over rotation
Still not sure what I'm looking like but it takes significantly longer to process so I imagine this is where my problem is coming from

[austere grotto]

24 ms of garbage collection

I think you just have a slow frame which is leading to a large single-frame mouse delta

[exotic spear]

It happens fairly often and corresponds to my mouse look over rotating/snapping each time it happens

is it possible that it's happening because I'm multiplying the rotation by Time.deltaTime

[austere grotto]

you should definitely not be multiplying mouse input by deltaTime

[exotic spear]

ok

Any advice on how to make it smoother then because it is very jittery otherwise and my inputsystem is set to Dynamic Update

[exotic spear]

thanks, just a dumb blunder on my part then

[austere grotto]

there should be nothing to smooth

mouse input is framerate independent automatically

One mistake may be:
look = value.ReadValue<Vector2>(); if you're doing this you may be consuming the same mouse input multiple times

[heady river]

Neither it’s empty

Unless maybe my ide wasn’t configured when I put in the debug.log so that’s why I didn’t see it I’ll try it tomorrow

[exotic spear]

Seems removing deltaTime and editing my senestivity values has fixed it, I appreciate the help

[sullen lintel]

nah that has nothing to do with it. you would see debug messages in Unity console not IDE. Did you add the script to an object?

[shy spade]

my g29 pedals are interfering with the Vertical Axis from the Unity Input System, can i somehow make my pedals to not be recognized as controllers?

[heady river]

no i tried to put it on my player but it already has a script on it with a different class name

should i put the code in my player controller script

[sullen lintel]

You’re using GetComponent for animator. Put it wherever you have animator you want to control

[heady river]

this showed up

[sudden lagoon]

But does ray cast work with UItoolkit tho? I have old canvas system and uitoolkit in project. so I used Raycast check and overUI check to know which I am over right now.

[austere grotto]

which raycast?

Physics raycasts are unrelated to the UI system

I do think UI toolkit has its own event system? Not sure about that

[mild vortex]

Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1") equivalent? I specifically don't want to access this input via an event, but rather access it when needed.

[austere grotto]

you can still poll actions in Update

you don't have to do things via events

myInputAction.WasPressedThisFrame()```

[mild vortex]

InputActionsName.ActionMapName.Action.WasPressedThisFrame(); then?

[austere grotto]

however you want to get a reference to your InputAction is fine

[austere grotto]

point is you call this on a reference to an input action

[mild vortex]

Cool, thanks!

[sudden lagoon]

Used Physics raycast. UItoolkit doesnt have event system, it uses Input system if I understand it correctly

[austere grotto]

that's literally a screenshot of your event system

(look at the component above)

[sudden lagoon]

Yes, but InputSytem convers it with input system UI input module, doesnt it?

[austere grotto]

there's always an input module

the input module is how the input system interacts with the event system

every combination of input system + ui system has a combo of event system + input module

[sudden lagoon]

so in the end I was doing what you were suggesting. But in a way that does not work 😦
So in short:
frame 1: TOUCH event happen -> Event of it is called -> My function is called -> Check if over UI fails.
frame 2: TOUCH event happen -> Event of it is called -> My function is called -> Check if over UI suceeds.

[sullen lintel]

Does your script class name match the file name?

[brave dawn]

for openXR how hard is it to allow the VR player to use keyboard + mouse?

I want the vr player to use a computer in vr

[austere grotto]

#🥽┃virtual-reality

[brave dawn]

mb

[west oracle]

It's kind of input system related lol.

The controller inputs use the same system as real keyboard and mouse.

Are you wearing an HMD with your hands on a physical real life keyboard?

[brave dawn]

Hp reverb with controller

[primal salmon]

I have a UI and Player ActionMaps. the inputmodule has the actions assigned from the UI section however when i disable it in code like

controlScheme.UI.Disable();

the UI still works

how can i disable it from working

[austere grotto]

You need to disable the action map or input actions, not a control scheme

[olive mortar]

Whats wrong here? O.o

[austere grotto]

what version of input system are you using

[olive mortar]

1.0.2

unity 2020 LTS

[austere grotto]

that' why

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.0/api/UnityEngine.InputSystem.InputAction.html#methods

There's no WasPressedThisFrame in 1.0.2

you should be able to do if (context.started) though

or if (context.phase == InputActionPhase.Started)

[olive mortar]

wont that trigger the event ever time the key is held down, rather than a single frame event?

[austere grotto]

no

[olive mortar]

ah ok, thank you 🙂

[primal salmon]

Sorry that is the then of my player control object I see hot that could be co fusing lol

[naive geode]

For some reason Run reacts only to A presses (I'm on a non standart layout) even though I press Q and the rest of unity detects the letter q fine

[spark pumice]

iirc there are bindings based on the position of the key on the keyboard and separate bindings based on the letter/symbol on the key. Double check that you're using the correct variation?

[naive geode]

okay yeah

[olive mortar]

apparently in 2020 theres a 1.4.2 i just updated to that works! but it only showed it once i enabled preview package. but its not a preview? O.o

[heady river]

JUST TWEAKED THE NAME AND PUT IT ON MY CHARACTER

sorry caps lock

it works

[heady river]

Sort of instead of transitioning it’s just turning the animation on and off so it’s half working

[olive mortar]

anyone encountered where Vector2's are just straight up really glitchy / laggy? I've tried reading it in update and via an event, but the result is always the same https://streamable.com/6bk8vb

    public void OnLook(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
    {
        Vector2 lookAxis = context.ReadValue<Vector2>();

        bool invertedKB = !UsingGamePad && SettingsMenu.Instance.InvertY;

        cameraInputData.InputVectorX = lookAxis.x;
        cameraInputData.InputVectorY = invertedKB ? -lookAxis.y : lookAxis.y;

    }```

[austere grotto]

how are you consuming the data?

[olive mortar]

    void CalculateRotation()
    {
        if (Player.Instance.updatePlayer && Player.Instance.IsAlive())
        {
            float baseSensitivity = Player.Instance.GetInputHandler().UsingGamePad ? sensitivity * controllerSensitivityMultiplier * Time.fixedDeltaTime : sensitivity;

            m_desiredYaw += camInputData.InputVector.x * lookSpeed;
            m_desiredPitch -= camInputData.InputVector.y * lookSpeed;

            m_desiredPitch = Mathf.Clamp(m_desiredPitch, lookAngleMinMax.x, lookAngleMinMax.y);
        }
    }

    void SmoothRotation()
    {
        m_yaw = Mathf.LerpAngle(m_yaw, m_desiredYaw, smoothAmount.x * Time.fixedDeltaTime);
        m_pitch = Mathf.LerpAngle(m_pitch, m_desiredPitch, smoothAmount.y * Time.fixedDeltaTime);
    }

    void ApplyRotation()
    {
        transform.root.eulerAngles = new Vector3(0f, m_yaw, 0f);
        m_pitchTranform.localEulerAngles = new Vector3(m_pitch, 0f, 0f);
    }```

[austere grotto]

where and when does this run

[olive mortar]

Update

lateupdate*

used to run fine when using rewired

[limber gull]

hey guys
i need to use the newer input system but i cant seem to find where it contains the mouse movement
can only find mouse buttons

actually might have just found

[olive mortar]

remove the text, and navigate to Mouse -> Delta

[limber gull]

yeah i found it actually

now i just need to go back to an older project to remember how to rotate the camera good

[limber gull]

the return value wasnt correct, thats why i couldnt find it

[spark pumice]

I think it might be the lack of acceleration that is making this look off. You jump straight from no rotation to full speed rotation and its jarring

[olive mortar]

how do i solve this? tomorrow im going to test with the old way, since i have both able to use, and i'll verify if its the readvalue being weird or not

Input.GetAxis etc

[spark pumice]

its the difference between SmoothDamp and Lerp

[olive mortar]

it worked perfectly fine though when i was using Rewired though

which is essentially just a wrapper for input manager

[spark pumice]

I've never used rewired, can't comment on that

[olive mortar]

I can test this out now, if you have time for me to get the findings?

[spark pumice]

sure. I'm looking at your code and trying to think about how to incorporate the idea (just switching to SmoothDamp might have implications that you don't want, though you could try)

like, smooth damp will add acceleration both on the stop and start side of things

but you might only want it on the start side

and stop immediately

[olive mortar]

its not just the abrupt stopping, it sometimes wigs out and slightly goes in the completely wrong direction

it's a little hqrd to discern from the video

[spark pumice]

yeah, its hard to know what the inputs were from watching the video. You get more of a feeling for it when you're actually controlling it

[olive mortar]

Revelation. maybe

[spark pumice]

there's a little wiggle at 0:05, is that it? or did you actually do a wiggle with the control

[olive mortar]

its entirely smooth with Mouse X and mouse Y with input manager

but when im pressing WASD, my lookaxis debug is firing off

i'm telling you. if this is the goddamn problem

i looked at this atleast 12 times

ok no that definitely isnt it, its still wrong

let me get a better video for you

but yes: using input.getaxis, its flawless. so definantly something to do with input system, and actually registering input with it

[spark pumice]

Does GetAxisRaw give you the same behavior as the input system?

[olive mortar]

lets test

GetAxisRaw is also perfect

https://streamable.com/fvmnrf

(i am moving my mouse smoothly)

[spark pumice]

oh yeah, that's way nicer

but also a lot slower

HMMM

[olive mortar]

do you want a comparison video with axisraw

[spark pumice]

no, if it wasn't having obviously the same issue as input system then it's not really relevant

[olive mortar]

this is the Look setting in the input action

mouse specific

I have also tried Control Type -> Vector2 same result

[austere grotto]

what happens if instead of using events you just poll that action in Update?

[olive mortar]

the same thing

wrote it in the initial question

[austere grotto]

should definitely be Vector2 btw

can you show all the settings you have for the input action and the bindings

[austere grotto]

What's going on with that normalize processor?

that will definitely cause issues

[olive mortar]

trying to fix it, but shouldnt it be normalized anyway? 0-1

[austere grotto]

no

mouse input is like a number of screen pixels the mouse moved

[olive mortar]

thats all there is

[austere grotto]

try this:

• remove the game pad binding

• remove the normalize processor

see what happens

and set it to Value/Vector2

[olive mortar]

Same result

just mega fast mouse movement now

[austere grotto]

adjust your sensitivity down

[spark pumice]

are you supposed to multiply a mouse delta by deltaTime? Probably not, right?

[austere grotto]

nope

[olive mortar]

its alot smoother now. its not skipping all the time

it has skips every so often, and feels abit

GetAxisRaw * 100

it'd be easier if i could screenshare this rather than videos all the time hehe

[austere grotto]

I mean one thing to do is just like:

void Update() {
  Vector2 newInput = lookAction.ReadValue<Vector2>();
  Vector2 oldInput = new Vector2(Input.GetAxis("Mouse X"), Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y"));
  print($"Input comparison - old: {oldInput.ToString("F4")} new: {newInput.ToString("F4")}");
}```

and play with the settings till you see them working the same

obviously make sure you have both inbput systems activated for this test

[olive mortar]

So you're saying not use an event?

[austere grotto]

Yeah I don't think using events is a good idea for "continuous" input in general

like input you expect to change value every frame

events are best for things like buttons

or taps, or swipe interactions, etc.

you can definitely make it work

but it's harder

[olive mortar]

I feel like i should be normalizing it

[spark pumice]

this LerpAngle code is abusing Lerp. It is written like MoveTowards. So if sensitivity is high enough that smoothAmount.x * Time.fixedDeltaTime >= 1, you'll lose all of the smoothing effect and just jump straight to desiredYaw every frame

[olive mortar]

this is also true, it needs some refactoring for sure

but i don't want to refactor something thats currently broken 😛

[spark pumice]

I'm just wondering if that's the bug

[olive mortar]

its not, since input manager works

[spark pumice]

oh fair

[olive mortar]

so its defiantly not right. this is with normalized @austere grotto

[spark pumice]

seems like you want to clamp it, not normalize

[austere grotto]

normalize is definitely wrong for mouse input

[olive mortar]

but GetAxis is normalized?

[austere grotto]

no

not for mouse input

I mean you can see right there it's not

[olive mortar]

true

[austere grotto]

That vector has a magnitude greater than one

[spark pumice]

in this image, old is 20x new. seems like they jsut have different sensitivities

[olive mortar]

so i should not normalize, and clamp instead

-1 to 1

[spark pumice]

or divide by 20

[austere grotto]

I think one thing to look at is the sensitivity in the old input manager axis

Mine seems to be at .1 by default (or maybe I changed it in my project?)

[olive mortar]

yea 0.1 for me too

i'll try a scale modifier and set to 0.1?

[austere grotto]

perhaps

[austere grotto]

I think the .1 accounts for the 10x here, but not the other 2x

That's a little bit of a puzzle 🤔

[olive mortar]

ok, i can see now its double, right?

[austere grotto]

yep looks that way

[olive mortar]

so 0.05 scale should do it

[spark pumice]

the most magic of numbers

[austere grotto]

yeah aka 1/20 which matches Tachyon's observation earlier

I feel like there's probably some other setting accounting for the remaining 2x scale but I'm not sure what it is

[olive mortar]

with this information, i might know what was doing the problems

because it was obviously mad scale

any slight twitch was picked up in the movement

right?

[austere grotto]

seems reasonable

[spark pumice]

and maybe some noisiness left in the control, even after Unity's smoothed it

[olive mortar]

it still skips sometimes

like, has a big jump, but it is smoother

[austere grotto]

ok well - we've at least made the picture somewhat clearer I hope

[olive mortar]

Half the battle, though we've deduced that it was the scale for the majority of it. though theres no connection to this jumping

https://streamable.com/rjzi04 heres the jumping

[austere grotto]

any chance this corresponds with a framerate hitch?

[olive mortar]

negative

[austere grotto]

you might deduce this with the profiler or by printing deltaTime along with the input data

[austere grotto]

when you get the jump you see abnormal input data being printed?

does it differ at all from the Input.GetAxis data (after your scaling) when there's a jump?

[olive mortar]

i'll get the jumping again and take a look. its hard to find the debugs since its every frame :P;

[austere grotto]

You could maybe do a if (oldInput != newInput) and only print then 🙂

[olive mortar]

it doesnt print when theres a jump, so they are the same

[austere grotto]

so - could it be hardware related?

[olive mortar]

in what sense

its not my mouse, as old way is fine

[austere grotto]

Well I'm not sure - basically we've ruled out that the input system is giving different data

[olive mortar]

something here, must just be broken, i dont know

[austere grotto]

so it could just be your code

or hardware

[austere grotto]

I'm a little confused as to why you're using TIme.fixedDeltaTime in this code btw

[olive mortar]

its for controller

which we've removed the bind for now anyway so its not used

[austere grotto]

What about the SmoothRotation function?>

Not seeing where that's called

is it still used for mouse?

[olive mortar]

yes

all 3 of those functions are called in LateUpdate

[austere grotto]

can you try disabling that and/or using deltaTime

seems odd to use fixedDeltaTime in a non-Fixed update

[olive mortar]

yea, one sec

Same thing occurs

[austere grotto]

what change did you make?

switched to deltaTime, or removed the SmoothRotation call?

[olive mortar]

switched to time.deltatime. im now going to test without smooth rotation

I don't think its doing it without the smoothing

little hard to tell, but i dont get big jumps, thats for sure

could it be some sort of gimble lock?

[spark pumice]

is it jumping in both yaw and pitch? or just yaw?

[olive mortar]

im not sure i can answer that, its always in like a diagonal

let me double chekc

its in both, up down left right diagonals

this is all abit strange from just changing how some float gets a value haha

    public static Vector3 SmoothDampAngle(Vector3 from, Vector3 to, ref Vector3 velocity, float smoothTime)
    {
        return new Vector3(
          Mathf.SmoothDampAngle(from.x, to.x, ref velocity.x, smoothTime),
          Mathf.SmoothDampAngle(from.y, to.y, ref velocity.y, smoothTime),
          Mathf.SmoothDampAngle(from.z, to.z, ref velocity.z, smoothTime)
        );
    }``` i do have this. if this would be better to use?

or just the Mathf one i guess, idk what is actually causing this problem though

[spark pumice]

it would probably cover the bug up

[olive mortar]

oh we dont do that here

[spark pumice]

which is good enough, I guess

[olive mortar]

i did not know i could do this

(sorry)

[spark pumice]

lol no worries

the sensitivity thing wouldn't have been fixed by this

[olive mortar]

sensitivity thing?

oh, the scaling yea

[spark pumice]

the previous issue? with 20x values

[olive mortar]

would i put the same thing into the smoothTime as with the lerp angle?

[spark pumice]

I wouldn't pass something multiplied by deltaTime into that. Just your smoothAmount parameter

[olive mortar]

i dont think its a 0-1 scaled value, is that a problem

[spark pumice]

smoothTime is like... how many seconds should it take to go from A to B.

roughly

so no, doesn't need to be 0-1

but you'll need to tune it to whatever sensitivity you want

[olive mortar]

gotcha

lets test it out

any value for smoothtime that makes it actually move in a respectable amount of time, has this jumping

[spark pumice]

mmmm, damn

[olive mortar]

still has it as bigger values too, just masked, but makes the camera rotation un-usable

so theres something else going on

[spark pumice]

I g2g. but this is an interesting conundrum. I'll ping you if any ideas occur to me

[olive mortar]

sure thing

I'll leave this here. this still does it. But if i construct a float x,y with the input.getaxisraw, and plug it straight into the rotation. it works

So its something with InputVectorX and Y

but they're just basic properties

public Vector2 InputVector => m_inputVector; InputVector is what is used for the camrotation in the snippets above

[sullen lintel]

idk wdym? put exit time if you mean you want it to wait

[heady river]

No I want it to have my walk animation play when the w key is pressed and the idle animation to play when the no key is being pressed

[sullen lintel]

thats how it's setup now

[heady river]

Except only the idle animation is playing on and off the walk isn’t there at all

[sullen lintel]

likely you didn't setup the transitions correctly. show the screenshot for each transition

[heady river]

here

[sullen lintel]

take a short video? I'm not seeing an obvious issue

[remote hornet]

I have a new powerA wired GameCube controller for switch, unity recognizes it as a switch pro controller but doesn't pick up any input in the input debugger, or when listening to set bindings. It works with windows "setup usb controllers" and even with jelly drift (with was made with unity), although the controls are a little strange. So am I doing something wrong or does my controller simply not work with unity?

[sullen lintel]

u took a video of the animator and not the walk action character in game 🤔 🤷

[olive mortar]

ok. so i've tested again with the old input system, and its also jumping. so i was wrong

theres something fundamentally wrong here. im checking on the old branch with rewired now

yep. rewired is perfectly fine. no jumping

and it was literally just this. Ran in update

Nothing funky with it. So why is the input system just shagged

I found the cause! :DDD

[austere grotto]

What was it

[olive mortar]

my gamepad inputs was interfering for some reason. i need to find out why its not disabling when no gamepad is in use

a script i have for UI behaviour on gamepad

Why does WasPerformed and WasPressed this frame not act like GetButtonDown?

How can i simulate this behaviour without adding this:

[austere grotto]

because performed will happen whenever the value changes, even from one "pressed" value to another

you could do if (myAction.phase == InputActionPhase.Started)

[olive mortar]

I don't have it

ah i see.

would i need an else to set it back to true then?

movementInputData.JumpClicked = context.action.phase == InputActionPhase.Started; or just this

this does nothing, the actions wont trigger :p

[austere grotto]

oh with a context you can just do context.phase

or if (context.started)

[olive mortar]

thats how i had it before. Still need the = false after registering the keypress

[olive mortar]

this

i just want the bool to be true for a frame. then go back to false like how GetButtonDown works

[austere grotto]

wait so

you're using an event

to set a bool

and then checking the bool in update?

[olive mortar]

Yes

[austere grotto]

why not just check the action in Update directly

[olive mortar]

im not sure how this solves the problem

these are button presses, Events are the way to go, no?

[austere grotto]

sorry I'm only really half paying attention here

[austere grotto]

usually you would just do the jump thing in the event handler

rather than having a event to set a variable which you then poll

the point of the event is to avoid polling

[olive mortar]

I guess i can change them to UnityEvents? I don't see how i can reference everything i need to do in the action

[austere grotto]

that could work

[remote hornet]

why does my power a wired gamecube controller not work with unity

is this a known issue

am I doing something wrong, my game works with keyboard controllers

controlls*, I am using the new input system

[olive mortar]

    public void OnDeviceChanged(PlayerInput input)
    {
        UsingGamePad = !input.devices[0].device.name.Equals("Keyboard");


        foreach (InputDevice device in input.devices)
        {
            string deviceName = device.name;
            Debug.Log("Device Name: " + deviceName);
        }
    }``` Debug the name of the controller in active use

if you dont get a debug, when you switch, its not being recognised

[remote hornet]

It is being recognized, on the input debugger in the player input component it is listed, unity knows it is there, it just doesn't know how to interpret it

[lament roost]

How can I check if any gamepad is connected with the new input system?

[heady river]

Oh sorry

[heady river]

No walking animation is playing simply the idle animation

[olive mortar]

Look at the message directly above yours

[lament roost]

coincidence

[lament roost]

Is the walk animation set to loop ?

And yes use screen record next time. That shit made me nauseous with all that camera movement

[heady river]

i turned off loop on the walk and now the walk animation plays when i press w but the idle doesnt play when im not pressing a button

[sullen lintel]

wdym turned off loop ? keep looping on ?

[sullen lintel]

keep it On for walk..

[heady river]

and shut it off for idle

and it works

no strings attached it 100% works

thank you null

I have an issue that is probably simple but I am just having trouble getting things setup properly.
This is concerning local multiplayer using the Multiplayer Event System and Input System UI Input Module.

Basically, I am trying to setup a character selection screen ( think fighting game such as street fighter or tekken etc ).
The issue is I am unable to have 2 players control icons on the same canvas.
If I duplicate the canvases (which feels really redundant) everything works fine..
But if the Player Root on the Multiplayer Event System is the same canvas only player 1 will receive input. Player 2 icon will not detect anything.

The hierarchy is PlayerSelectorIcon => which contains Device Assigner Script, Multiplayer Event System, and the input module. And one of these objects exist for both players.
Once again, this setup works fine with 2 canvases that are stacked on top of each other. But not for a single canvas so I am looking for tips or advice.
I can provide screenshots, gifs, or code or whatever is requested. Although the code is just a couple lines for explicitly assigning devices while testing.
Thank you in advance.

[tame oracle]

oh. well. I figured it out? Apparently if I don't assign the canvas (or anything) to the Player Root it works? Well that is interesting!

[glad flower]

Hey all, I got an issue where I can't bind any inputs to WASD or Arrow Keys. This issue popped up when I updated my project from the 1.3 to the 1.4 input system. I can confirm that the issue is not related to my scripts or the player input map itself, because I can rebind the button to anything other than WASD and Arrow Keys without much of an issue. I believe it is somehow related to some project setting, but am honestly lost on what.

[little haven]

it's a bug with 1.4. more info on the forums

[twilit siren]

Hey, I got an issue with the walljump mechanic: to do so, I kinda deactivate my movement rb.velocity set, so I can use my walljump rb.velocity set instead
But the issue is that if I walljump from a wall at my right for example, and I want to go to the left, I'll press left instantly after pressing jump, it won't "register" the left input because it's been pressed while rb.velocity was handled by the walljump method

In the video, I pressed right just when the movement method was back to handling rb.velocity, so it worked, and in the second jump I pressed right while rb.velocity was handled by walljump method, so it didn't work and you can see that it just kept in memory the last input before switching the rb.velocity handling, which was left, so the character just keeps going left even though I press right, because there's no new event that changes the input value again (problem is non-existent on a controller unless you're super precise)

Using Unity Events

Not sure code is needed here it's more of a logical issue, but if needed let me know I'll share it

[twilit siren]

I got the same issue with my dash apparently, because it works the same way, the Dash() method handles the velocity for a certain amount of time, and if I input a movement key while dashing, it won't take it in account and continue until another even happens

Even the cancelled event is not heard, if I release my right key during a dash, it'll just keep walking when the dash is over

[glad flower]

Do you mind providing any links? I couldn't find anything myself

Nevermind, I found the forum post 🥲

[limber gull]

does anyone know where i can find the list of input paths (newer input system) of oculus controllers?

[limber gull]

can different action maps with the same input be active at once and still work?
having trouble with one of my buttons not triggering a method but it triggers another one (same button bound)

[runic anvil]

Very basic question, anybody can point me in the right direction? I want to know how many times a button was pressed since the last frame (not just wasPressedThisFrame).

[limber gull]

how is a user supposed to press several times in 1 frame?

[runic anvil]

yes, especially during a hitch or long frame

[limber gull]

im not an expert but i dont think unity will register any new inputs while its already working on something

[runic anvil]

I believe natively the events are polled at very high frequency and I have to imagine they are queued and processed - I would be quite surprised if it wasn't possible to get at this data somehow.

[alpine umbra]

they cannot

or at least, Unity will not register it

[runic anvil]

If input data isn't polled at a higher rate than the application rate, mouse motion would be awful. Are you pretty confident that keyboard data isn't?

[alpine umbra]

it's polled but is just not available to you

[runic anvil]

I was wondering if there might be some functionality via eg AccumulatateValueInEvent() or other similar cryptic methods possibly through comparison with a pointer of the state from the previous frame - do you have enough familiarity with the input system that you have a high degree of confidence about that?

[alpine umbra]

not with the input system per se, but with computer operating systems, you want to hook into the interupt using assembler code go ahead, but your unity code runs at a frame rate so only stuff within that frame rate are available to you

[runic anvil]

https://forum.unity.com/threads/new-input-system-and-framerate-independance.543666/

[alpine umbra]

Fine, but how does this affect code running in Update or FixedUpdate where the work is actually done

And in fact, the more often you poll the slower your frame rate will be

that says it all

[runic anvil]

Sorry, had a call and send msg prematurely but yup - that buffer of events is all I'm after basically.

[alpine umbra]

but what would you do with it? There is no mechanism within unity to consume and act upon such a buffer

[runic anvil]

What would we do with it? If the buffer contained multiple events, process them. If the buffer didn’t store multiple and/or Unity provides no interface to get at it then of course, we couldn’t do anything with it. To know a key is released in the same frame it was pressed, I assume this data is theoretically available. The questions I have are, a) is the multiple key press data in the internal unity buffer at any point or does the buffer only store state eg per key per frame, b) if the data isn’t stored, is this a suitable request to make via the forums, c) if it is stored, is there really no api access (in which case, we would request) or is it that it requires the undocumented low level apis and it is actually all there to access. From your responses I gather you think this is flat out impossible- either Unity can’t get this data or would never expose it - correct?

[alpine umbra]

unity can get some of it, i.e. what is available to the operating system which is a subset of what is available to the device driver etc, the main problem is that Unity is single threaded as far as your code is concerned and so can only give you a snapshot of the inputs at the moment in time that your code executes

[urban forge]

how do I make the rebind actually work? I can't understand it, I was following a tutorial and I added a function I made a while ago, it works fine with the default and the rebind ui updates, but the key for the function doesn't

[austere viper]

Hey Guys,
Iam Trying To Make an online Game and iam using the new input system and i have an issue.

the issue is that whenever two player spawn in the world,
the input system assignes a random input device to the players
and the input devices is being splitted between them
so auto/manual switching isn't working,
how can i stop that from happenning?

[olive mortar]

Anyone encountered where some UI doesnt work with the new input system?
some buttons and all Dropdowns dont... drop down
its like the click event just doesnt work, hover, press colour works fine

[austere grotto]

Check your input module

[olive mortar]

this is what i got

oh, i see input actions

i should change it to the one i made

[austere grotto]

That should be good assuming you haven't messed with it or with that default actions asset

Usually leaving on default is fine. Strange that the hover would work but not the click

[olive mortar]

the click changes the Pressed Color on buttons and dropdowns, they just dont function

i debugged in my OnClick event, and it doesnt register

[austere grotto]

That's... Odd. Double check you're not doing anything silly like leaving a search term in the console window or something

If that's happening though I'd lean on it not being an input problem

Since the input is clearly being detected

[olive mortar]

its an odd way its being done, and dont grill me for it. this is how i know its not detecting:

    public void Start()
    {
        Button[] buttons = FindObjectsOfType<Button>();
        foreach (Button b in buttons)
        {
            b.onClick.AddListener(new UnityAction(() => ActionButton.ButtonPressed(b.gameObject.name)));
        }```

It doesnt debug anything when clicking some buttons

[austere grotto]

Ok do

So*

That for loop

Definitely has a variable capture bug in it

[olive mortar]

i do not know what that means

[austere grotto]

Or it might anyway

One sec

[reef hound]

Can someone give me the script to control a player?

[olive mortar]

download the unity starter assets

[austere grotto]

so just for dumb debugging purposes try this quickly?

    foreach (Button b in buttons)
    {
        b.onClick.AddListener(() => Debug.Log("Clicked!"));```

[olive mortar]

i cant add two listeners? i need the first one to actually log me in, to test the broken ones

[austere grotto]

you can add two

why not?

[olive mortar]

ah, i had collapse on

no, its not debugging Clicked on the broken buttons

[austere grotto]

wait I'm also a bit confused by this - do the broken ones spawn in later?

or they get activated later?

because... FindObjectsOfType<Button>(); will not find deactivated ones, or ones that aren't spawned in yet

[olive mortar]

all the buttons are in a prefab. that prefab is the entire games UI, all objects are enabled to begin with

oh, i know why dropdowns arnt working, i changed them all to TMP

let me check if they now work

No, they' don't work

[dry olive]

I can't figure out how to change this so it's not always true lol

[olive mortar]

well, they are the same

[austere grotto]

i don't understand why they would ever not be true lol

[dry olive]

I also don't understand why I can't find anything on google to just detect if the damn mouse is moving

feel like i'm taking crazy pills

[austere grotto]

you want to compare the position to LAST frame

right now you're comparing the position to the same frame

[austere grotto]

You need to track last frame's mouse position:

Vector2 prevPos;
void Start() {
  prevPos = Mouse.current.position.ReadValue();
}

void Update() {
  Vector2 currentPos = Mouse.current.position.ReadValue();
  if (currentPos != prevPos) {
    // it moved
  }
  
  prevPos = currentPos;
}```

[olive mortar]

@austere grotto Looks like the FindOfType isnt finding them

i debugged the array

[austere grotto]

yeah that's what I was getting at before

that's why I was confused about the "login" comment you made

it implied that the other buttons were nonexistent or at least not enabled when you ran FindObjectOfType

[dry olive]

Ah doing it outside of the update! makes sense

thank you!

[olive mortar]

ok cool! Buttons are working now! 🙂 Dropdowns still dont

[runic anvil]

Answering my own question in case anyone's interested - there's an InputStateHistory api call you can use to track multiple events per frame. All events within one frame have a single value but it's still useful.

[olive mortar]

Do dropdowns only assign their data when they're enabled at runtime? i just tried to enable them manually in the editor, but there is only one value. Option A

i would think they would still be able to drop down though

[olive mortar]

ok very strange. the dropdowns wont dropdown if they are under a specific canvas

[austere viper]

[olive mortar]

@austere grotto fixed it. i had the canvas sorting order to int.max. which apparently breaks it

[olive mortar]

none-local players shouldnt know anything about input

you should delete the components not needed for remote players

[austere viper]

ok ty

[limber gull]

need some advice on my input system
i want the player to be able to choose if they are right/left handed and i want my input to change accordingly (vr game)
to make things organized, i put the different parts of player controls into different action maps
but since just changing the input action asset to another one in player input doesnt change what events will be triggered, im not certain at what to do

the only way i can think of to make anything work with right/left handed is to not use several action maps for the different actions
but rather to have all actions in each action map but switch the side (right or left controller) on the action maps
and then disable/enable action map from the players choosing

i need these action maps to change what control they listen to

[limber gull]

ended up making 2 different rigs with its corresponding actions
if there is a better way, please let me know

[echo estuary]

Anyone have experience with the Player Input Manager and Split-screen? I intend to have split-screen supporting 1 to 3 players and I was wondering if it's possible to give the 3rd player the entire bottom half of the screen. Currently I'm forced to use "corner screens" and in a 3 player game you're left with an unused screen in the bottom right corner. Is it possible to combine the 3rd and 4th screen into one large screen? Thanks!

[limber gull]

@echo estuary you can change the size and position of all the cameras you have active giving you full control

[echo estuary]

@limber gull Do you mean adjust them using the Player Input Manager's split-screen settings or on the Camera itself? Edit: I'm now messing with my 3rd camera's Viewport Rect and that seems to be working.

[limber gull]

The camera itself
Never used the input manager myself

[celest orchid]

So I just downloaded my project from Plastic SCM and now when I run my game I get a null error from Mouse.current.position.ReadValue(). Is there a reason why any of those would be null?

[austere grotto]

only if you don't have a mouse plugged in

[celest orchid]

Hmm, ok, so something else might be wrong then since my mouse is definitely plugged in

[austere grotto]

Is your active input handling properly set to use the new system?

[celest orchid]

Yeah

It seems like position is the value returning null

[urban forge]

wait, is there something between the rebind ui and my action I need to manually update?

cuz the ui is annoyingly working fine except it isn't updating the action, and the action works

this the new input system

[true ivy]

With the StandaloneInputModule for UI there was this nice list of debug info (current mouseover, last click etc). Was this moved somewhere with InputSystemUIInputModule?

for reference on what it looked like before:
https://forum.unity.com/threads/how-to-debug-what-i-clicked-on-ui.994273/#post-6455644

[urban forge]

I can't use both input modules

or is that not what you were asking

[true ivy]

no, I switched from Standard IM to the new one, but all the debug info is gone in the new version

[urban forge]

but I still don't understand, hitting "B" (my default key) does exactly what I want, hitting the rebind ui and choosing a letter updates the text on the ui, but doesn't update the action

[true ivy]

oh, sorry, I wasn't answering your question, I'm asking another one 🙂

[urban forge]

oh lol

I got confused

[halcyon oak]

any one knows how to move two characters using the new input system, I'm making a game like firegirl and waterboy, so far I can only get 1 character to move

[twilit siren]

Hey, I'm using this code to move my character with acceleration and deceleration https://paste.ofcode.org/cjiJZhuAjM2jSJxBFpWrPM

The problem is that it doesn't work if I switch direction, it'll stay at max speed, it won't decelerate then accelerate again because the deceleration phase is only called on context.canceled
Any idea?

[olive mortar]

shouldnt deceleration be currentSspeed -= deceleration... ?

[twilit siren]

Sorry forgot to mention that

• is already applied there

[lavish prairie]

This example project does it
https://github.com/UnityTechnologies/InputSystem_Warriors

return replacement.ActionReference.action.GetBindingDisplayString();``` How do i get the controller binding here? this works for keyboard, as its the first index. (0) but controller is second index. I'm unsure how to get this index

[olive mortar]

hm. what i wrote just works 😅

[austere grotto]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.4/api/UnityEngine.InputSystem.InputAction.html#UnityEngine_InputSystem_InputAction_bindings

[olive mortar]

anyone come in contact where input isnt recognised sometimes in the editor? as soon as you press play, but sometimes it is

[limber gull]

you mean while testing the game inside unity?
i have with the newer input system
buttons wouldnt trigger anything, restarted and still didnt trigger then restarted again and first THEN they triggered

[patent hill]

Hey, what would be the closest mouse binding in the input system that simulates what the old input manager used for "Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y")"?
the options are delta, position, and radius

[dire quartz]

Delta is the default

[patent hill]

so Delta Y would be closest to GetAxis(Mouse Y), correct?

[dire quartz]

it should be yeah

i'm using delta with cinemachine it works flawlessly

[patent hill]

how do processors work? i want to make the input value be between -1 and 1, but when i put on the normalize processor on both the action and the binding and it still seems to spit out bigger ints

[dire quartz]

hmm not sure about the look delta though never bothered to check the values

i'm only familliar with the processor scale vector which speeds up or slows down the speed of the rotation

[patent hill]

[patent hill]

fair enough, hopefully someone with more experience in normalization pops up soon!

[spark pumice]

mouse delta is the change in pointer position in pixels since last frame

normalizing it doesn't make sense

[patent hill]

yeah i figured that out, i found out how to emulate getAxis()

you just grab the delta y and mult it by 0.1 and you get close enough behavoir

didn't matter in the end tho because the implementation i was trying to use didn't work for my application, sadly

but thank you!

[elfin radish]

get value of right and left trigger (dualshock 4)? please help

[vocal jay]

I have a movement action that used to work, but now it somehow broke, and I can't figure out why, this is what the action looks like

It's mapped to the correct control scheme

and the active user has this control scheme set and devices registered

the action is active

But I get no input from it

I have another action in the same ActionMap that works fine

The same action works using the gamepad control scheme (mapped to left stick)

[austere grotto]

missing from your description is how you hooked the action up to your code.

[vocal jay]

I'm just reading the value

[austere grotto]

from where?

[vocal jay]

I create the input system in code

[austere grotto]

HOw are you fetching the input action? Is it declared directly ony our script? Is it part of a generated C# class? Are you using PlayerInput?

etc

[austere grotto]

show the code

Did you ever Enable() it?

[vocal jay]

It's enabled, it would also say Disabled in the screenshot above otherwise

_System = new InputActions();
IS.System.Gameplay.Move.ReadValue<Vector2>()

Reading it works fine if it uses the gamepad for some reason, it won't read if it uses the composite 4 way keyboard binding

[vocal jay]

Ok, something is definitely weird, only WASD isn't working. Binding multiple composites to the action triggers on all except WASD

They all appear as registered to the current user, and they all work, except WASD

the strange thing is, WASD appear in the device events just like all the other keys

no idea what is going on

[vocal jay]

Everything works fine on input system 1.3.0 (I was on 1.4.2 previously), so I'm assuming this is a bug, although I can't believe that I'm the first to notice this...

[hollow eagle]

Hi ! Is there a way to add a setting for the mouse to have no limit with the screen size with a Virtual Camera? because the cursor stops at the limit of the screen so it's not in 360 degrees, it's very limited..

[austere grotto]

lock your cursor

[hollow eagle]

but I need to see the cursor to click on the settings button..

[dire quartz]

Yes i had so many errors when i upgraded to 1.4.2 (it worked fine on 1.3.0 before) so i downgraded back to 1.3.0 it works like a charm now

[vocal jay]

I don't have any errors, but like I mentioned, for some strange reason WASD doesn't work on a composite binding

[dire quartz]

try to downgrade to 1.3.0 you never know

[vocal jay]

Yeah it works on 1.3.0

Can you share the link to the issue?

[dire quartz]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/73426976/why-do-these-error-occur-unity-input-system

[vocal jay]

Awesome, thanks. And yeah I am using multiple control schemes so I guess it's the same issue

[dire quartz]

its the same error i had and i also had multiple other errors

[austere grotto]

Is this an fps game?

[hollow eagle]

it's a "3D Interface for a Crypto Smart Contract". For now it's more a viewer but there is a menu for the music/sound FX and other options

[hollow eagle]

@austere grotto I remember for the mobile. When we use the Left Pad to control the character, the camera movement is activated too. It seems that anywhere on the mobile screen, the camera movement is enabled so when you move the character the camera moves too, it's annoying...
and I don't know why because there is a right pad for the look around camera and I didn't use the Touch screen input system, only the Joystick input system.

And it's only if the Cinemachine Input Provider is activated too. If I deactivated it, in Mobile it's okay, but on Desktop, the look around is only on the left/right. No more different angles with the 3 rigs of the Free Look Camera Settings. It makes me crazy xD
Any ideas?

[lament roost]

How can I use these instead? I'm using the rebinding UI toolkit.

[dry olive]

Took me so long to realise this is not working because aButton is not any button.. sheesh does input system not have anything for this?>

[vernal egret]

I am attempting to create a 2D platformer with a dash function similar to games like Celeste and Katana Zero. However I have run into an issue where while inputting using a gamepad works fine, using a mouse causes the player to only ever dash to the right and up. I understand this is because mouse position treats the bottom left of the screen as (0,0), but I do not know how to fix it. Below is my current code for the input using Unity's new input system. I attempted to fix the issue using WorldToScreenPoint, but this actually didn't change anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

     public void OnDashDirection(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
     {
         var dir = Camera.main.WorldToScreenPoint(context.ReadValue<Vector2>());
         if (dir.x == 0 && dir.y == 0)
         {
             dir.x = sr.flipX ? -1 : 1;
             dir.y = 0;
         } 
         dashDirection = dir.normalized;
     }

[austere grotto]

Just think about the problem a bit. You want the direction to be based on what?

• the absolute mouse position?(no)
• the direction from the center of the screen to the mouse screen position?
• the direction from the player to the mouse world position?

[vernal egret]

the direction from the player to the mouse world position, but how do I do that?

[austere grotto]

To get the direction from position a to position b is merely b - a

[vernal egret]

ok, is there a way to make that work with controller as well? or do I have to make 2 separate methods, one for mouse input and one for controller? I was hoping the new input system would prevent me from having to do that

[austere grotto]

No because you're mixing and matching two completely different types of controls

Joystick represents a direction directly

Mouse position represents a position that needs to be transformed to world space and compared with the player position

You'll need special handling

[vernal egret]

ok that makes sense. thank you very much, first person to actually give me an answer lol

[upper tapir]

sooo the warriors example doesn't work with my capsys gamepad

when I plug it in it says twin usb gamepad plugged in

but it doesn't work when I launch

[upper tapir]

update: it detects my controller as a joystick

[upper lance]

@lament roost found any solution?

[upper tapir]

I finally figured it out

[rapid jetty]

how do i install it it keeps saying error and it is pissing me off
i have been trying for the last 30 munites trying to install it
pls DM me if you can help!

[rapid jetty]

I fixed it

Nvm

[lament roost]

To what?

[upper lance]

To put images

[edgy osprey]

What are the current thoughts regarding input system vs rewired?

[faint oak]

is there an input system component i can add on to my player for movement, or is it just better to use an enum?

[austere grotto]

wdym by this? Input system lets you read input. You need to write code to make that move your character. Not sure what you mean by using an enum.

[faint oak]

the uhhh inputaction asset?

I’ll figure it out forget about me

[austere grotto]

Sorry I just don't understand what you're asking

[faint oak]

It’s probably my lack of understanding, I’ll look into it more and then ask if I have any questions still

[half mantle]

how to fix this?

[half mantle]

this *

[cursive tulip]

Why does not list me the keyname: "MyTestKey" ?

[austere grotto]

Make sure you save the asset and that it has regenerated the C# code

[cursive tulip]

I did already and I also removed the not finished code via: //

[austere grotto]

Go to line 8 of your script

[half mantle]

alr

[austere grotto]

Looks like the wrong class

PlayerActionControls vs PlayerControls

[half mantle]

wat now

[austere grotto]

Now fix that

It's not valid C#

Variables need names

You only have a type

See how the one above it has a name?

[half mantle]

this?

so i remove the .

[cursive tulip]

why? my other scripts also use PlayerActionControls with :

        bool _ButtonPressed = _controls.Player.Camera_Zoom.ReadValue<float>() != 0;
``` for example....

[half mantle]

and add a space

bruhh

[austere grotto]

this code mentions neither.

[austere grotto]

dude you were like 99% of the way there before

then you broke a bunch of it for no reason

[half mantle]

i fixed it again

now were at the same error

this

[austere grotto]

Right here: #archived-code-general message

you were one word away

from it compiling

idk why you changed so much other stuff

oh and line 16 you had the wrong name there too

idk this is... just

you'd be better off starting fresh

from a basic C# syntax tutorial

you're making really basic errors right now

[half mantle]

thats another script

i fixed that one

[cursive tulip]

"MyTestKey" is inside of this list and why does it show everythign else, just my new "MyTestKey" not?

[austere grotto]

See how this asset is called PlayerControls?
But the class you are using is PlayerActionControls

it's a different asset

[cursive tulip]

I did not called PlayerControls

[half mantle]

its not the same code

this one is inputmanager

[austere grotto]

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/paths/csharp-first-steps/?WT.mc_id=dotnet-35129-website&ns-enrollment-type=Collection&ns-enrollment-id=yz26f8y64n7k07

[half mantle]

the other one is player motor

look at the names

theyr diffrent codes

[austere grotto]

Yes

and you're making incredibly basic errors

You need to learn to crawl before you can do gymnastics

[half mantle]

ik i havent watched any tutorial

but i will in like 2 hours

can i not have more than 1 of these components in my scene? I have one on my player, on another script and on the interface. After switching to another pc it seems that I can't get the interface one to work properly

[austere grotto]

you can have as many as you want.

[pulsar mist]

then why does it not work?

[austere grotto]

not sure what "on the interface" means though

[austere grotto]

you set it up wrong ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[pulsar mist]

i tried adding it in again by removing and pasting it in, but now the player doesnt move!

[pulsar mist]

ui stuff

[half mantle]

alr how about i just give u my code and u fix it

and send it back

lmao

[austere grotto]

what am I your employee?

[cursive tulip]

Where I called PlayerControls?

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.InputSystem;

public class TEEEEST : MonoBehaviour
{
    private int MyRandom;




    private PlayerActionControls _controls;
    private void Awake()
    {
        _controls = new PlayerActionControls();
    }

    void Update()
    {
        bool _ButtonPressed = _controls.Player.

        //if (_ButtonPressed == true)
        {
            MyRandom = Random.Range(0, 5);
            print("My random number is = " + MyRandom);
        }
    }
}

There is not a single line of PlayerControls...

[austere grotto]

exactly the problem

[half mantle]

lmao

[cursive tulip]

I am not using that. I use PlayerActionControls

[austere grotto]

you showed me a screenshot of an asset called PlayerControls, but in your code you're using PlayerActionControls.

[pulsar mist]

can anyone explain this? i am so confused....

it worked fine on my other pc

[austere grotto]

this screenshot with MyTestKey is from PlayerControls

I would only expect MyTestKey to appear in PlayerControls. Not PlayerActionControls

[pulsar mist]

also my post processing isn't working anymore

not even on the editor camera

[austere grotto]

not without you providing details about how you set it up, no.

[pulsar mist]

what info do you need?

i am using Player Input components and activate unity events to do stuff in my scripts, thats all

[half mantle]

yeah i fixed that

[austere grotto]

Cool show me

show the unity events

show the code

show the Debug.Log statements you added to debug

[austere grotto]

Wasn't talking to you

[cursive tulip]

I dont get it. I used PlayerActionControls in my earlier scripts.

and it also shows me the same actionsbut not my new action

[cursive tulip]

MyTestKey is not included

[austere grotto]

This isn't really complicated.
You have two cats. You put a shirt on one of the cats.
Then you pointed at the other cat that you didn't put a shirt on and asked "Why doesn't this cat have a shirt???"

[austere grotto]

then add MyTestKey to the PlayerActionControls asset

because you haven't yet afaik

[pulsar mist]

10 minutes ago my player was able to move, but i couldnt open the ui, now it's the other way around...

[cursive tulip]

I dont know what you mean. I think thats my only PlayerControls.inputactions

[hollow eagle]

Does anyone knows well the Starter Asset Pack? I really need some help to fix something pretty easy I think

[austere grotto]

why is your class called PlayerActionControls then?

[cursive tulip]

Because it is also used on my other script where I copy it from:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.InputSystem;


public class CameraZoom : MonoBehaviour
{
    private Camera myCamera;


    private void Start()
    {
        myCamera = GetComponent<Camera>();
    }
    ////////// New Input System Anfang //////////////////
    private PlayerActionControls _controls;
    private void Awake()
    {
        _controls = new PlayerActionControls();
    }

    private void OnEnable()
    {
        _controls.Enable();
    }
    private void OnDisable()
    {
        _controls.Disable();
    }
    private void Update()
    {
        bool _ButtonPressed = _controls.Player.Camera_Zoom.ReadValue<float>() != 0;
        //Debug.Log("Update Inhalt: " + _ButtonPressed);
        if (_ButtonPressed == true && myCamera.fieldOfView > 30f)
        {
            //Debug.Log("rightclick-zoom ON!!");
            myCamera.fieldOfView -= Time.deltaTime * 70f;
        }
        if (_ButtonPressed == false && myCamera.fieldOfView < 60f)
        {
            //Debug.Log("rightclick-zoom Off...");
            myCamera.fieldOfView += Time.deltaTime * 70f;
        }
    }

}

[austere grotto]

I'm not asking about where you're using it

where did it come from?

Why is the name different from your input actions asset?

Seems to me it's probably a leftover script from before you renamed the asset or something

[cursive tulip]

it is also using "PlayerActionControls" without problems. so why not my current one?

[austere grotto]

wdym, without problems?

Can this other script access _controls.Player.MyTestKey?

If not, it has the same problem

[cursive tulip]

no, IDK why. everytghing else is visible only my new "MyTestKey" not

[austere grotto]

because you're using the wrong class

you should be using PlayerControls not PlayerActionControls

everywhere

PlayerActionControls seems to be some leftover thing

[cursive tulip]

what is the difference?

[austere grotto]

PlayerControls is the actual one that's tied to and generated by your asset

[cursive tulip]

is this a Unity bug?

[austere grotto]

No

it's a bug of you didn't clean up your old script

PlayerActionControls is some leftover thing I would guess from before you renamed the asset or something

[cursive tulip]

what script? is that someting in the cache?

[austere grotto]

no

click on your PlayerControls asset

look at the inspector

there are options for generating the C# class file

make sure it's being generated and check where it's being generated

[cursive tulip]

what should be generated?

[austere grotto]

A C# class file...

you know... literally the thing we've been talking about this whole time

The PlayerControls or PlayerActionControls class

[cursive tulip]

IDK why my other scripts are still working, if there is no PlayerActionControls. inside of my project

Wait, is "PlayerActionControls" not a piece of codeline?

and not a file

[austere grotto]

there will literally be a file called PlayerActionControls.cs in your project somewhere

you can just right click it from any code that uses it and say "go to definition"

it will take you to the class

[cursive tulip]

zero results

[austere grotto]

is your IDE configured?

[cursive tulip]

DAMN

[cursive tulip]

PlayerControls.cs

public partial class @PlayerActionControls : IInputActionCollection2, IDisposable

[austere grotto]

You should be able to do this with any type

ok so if you look at your inspector for your PlayerControls asset

can you show a screenshot of that

[cursive tulip]

PlayerControls.cs is PlayerActionControls

[austere grotto]

ok good, now we're making progress

[austere grotto]

so

[cursive tulip]

And I still have no glue what to happen now. where is the problem? why is it not showing the: "MyTestKey"

[austere grotto]

Can you show the screenshot I requested?

it will help

[pulsar mist]

.

[sullen lintel]

you are giving not a lot of info to go on..

what does your script setup look like

[pulsar mist]

like this. nothing else is related to inputs

the ONLY thing that changed is the pc i am using

[cursive tulip]

It's over 800 lines long

[austere grotto]

huh

it's an inspector

it has no lines

[austere grotto]

this @cursive tulip

[cursive tulip]

@austere grotto

[pulsar mist]

Fixed it! Turned out unity was recognizing a non-connected dualshock controller and that somehow caused the issue with the Player Input components going all wonky

[austere grotto]

no

not this

your PlayerControls asset

[austere grotto]

this thing

look at the inspector for it

Select the asset, look at the inspector

[hollow eagle]

@austere grotto you seem to know pretty well the input system, any chance to help me with the Starter Asset Pack? it's a stupid issue, but I can't find the answer..

[austere grotto]

there you go so

in Assets/Game/ there should be a PlayerControls.cs file

so you should have a PlayerControls class

that class will have the new test action you added

but I think you should delete the existing PlayerControls.cs

it seems like it's not overwriting it properly

[cursive tulip]

And what is with all my keys inside of it?

[ivory latch]

I recently tried upgrading my project from Unity 2021.3.X to 2022.1.X and noticed that I could no longer click on UI Toolkit dropdown menus. After isolating various gameobjects, I found that it was the legacy event system preventing the dropdown from being clicked as once it was disabled, the dropdown worked. However, I need the legacy event system to allow the traditional UI elements like buttons to work as I still need some world space elements. Is there some configuration I'm missing to allow interoperability of the legacy UI input/event system with the new UI Toolkit system? I've already set the input system to both in player settings and recreated the behavior in an empty project so I don't believe anything from our codebase is conflicting. Any help would be much appreciated and if this should go into a different channel, I'm more than happy to move it.

[olive mortar]

when setting up your keybinds in the input action asset. for a playstation controller. does anyone know why ButtonSouth [Gamepad] is actually ButtonWest [Gamepad] for playstation controller? works fine for xbox...

[olive mortar]

Nothings coming up on google, perhaps my phrasing is wrong, if someone can help let me know 🙂

[ripe plover]

hi everyone, does anyone have an idea why when i hit play. I just have the keyboard working. I went to the Input debug and I have my gamepad connected

[ripe plover]

I have my control detected but when I try again to listen to an input it sends me nothing 🤔

ok I changed the cable it worked no idea why because in the debug input they already appear

[sharp geode]

is there a way to increase the amount of memory available for events queued from non unity managed threads?

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.4/manual/Events.html

Note: Unity allocates limited memory to events that come from background threads. If background threads produce too many events, queueing an event from a thread blocks the thread until the main thread flushes out the background event queue.

i get "Could not allocate native memory" errors

"Assertion failed on expression: 'gCurrentManagedTempMem != NULL'"

i see there is a bug report claiming this was fixed, but it was not, or i simply get a lot of events

[sharp geode]

i am definitely not making that many events

nvermind it's a bug in input system

[sinful lotus]

Ok, going to try this here since I think this counts as an input system. Open/Close file dialogue box during runtime, is there an easy option without me either consuming someones github library or having to build the entire UI from scratch?

[sharp geode]

#archived-code-general use a library. not related to input system

[sinful lotus]

fair enough

thanks

[olive mortar]

Anyone know about this?

[spare igloo]

Hellooo

Why do i dont see

the vector system

[limber gull]

Have u tried with ds4 for windows?

[olive mortar]

What does that mean?

[olive mortar]

i dont really know how to research this, every phrase i use just gives me generic InputSystem documentation

[limber gull]

Its a file you download for windows that translates playstation input to work with windows better

[olive mortar]

updated input system to 1.4.2 and getting this spammed when i exit playmode, not causing problems, though this didnt happen in 1.3.0, anyone know a fix just to save my sanity?

[limber gull]

Go to the error line and comment it out

[olive mortar]

Well yes, but that's just hiding the problem

[limber gull]

Well, it gets rid of the error
As u said, it doesnt hurt, only annoys

[austere grotto]

it's possible you have something like a mismatch between your input action asset and your generated C# code file

(if you're using that)

[olive mortar]

no not using the class, just the asset

[cursive tulip]

OK, I remade now the entire new input action file. but It still doesn't show me the code example in visual studio. it still shows me my old actions with no sign of my new action that I called now: "MeinTestButton":

[mighty field]

can someone help me to assign a "forward" button?

[austere grotto]

because you're still using PLayerActionControls

use the generated C# class for the new C# generated class you made

You didn't need to remake the input actions asset

just delete the generated C# file

[cursive tulip]

you right.

[cursive tulip]

Now it is writable, but it does nothing happen, if I press the button.

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.InputSystem;

public class TEEEEST : MonoBehaviour
{
    private int MyRandom;




    private MeineInputActionBelegung _controls;
    private void Awake()
    {
        _controls = new MeineInputActionBelegung();
    }

    private void Update()
    {
        bool _ButtonPressed = _controls.Player.MeinTestButton.ReadValue<float>() != 0;

        if (_ButtonPressed == true)
        {
            MyRandom = Random.Range(0, 5);
            print("My random number is = " + MyRandom);
        }
    }
}

[ember spade]

Hello , I am having some hard time with programming 😂 , basiclly I am making pre jump to work , I pull my gamepad right stick down = player plays prejump animation and when I release it it jumps in the air , the problem is I just cant get isGrounded function to work with my code , I tried multiple ways to do it but It just wouldn't work , if anyone here has time to help would be nice 🙂 , here is the code link https://pastebin.com/0LKJhteq

I am using new input system

[austere grotto]

You need _controls.Enable()

[ember spade]

I placed new link where I marked where jump code is 🙂

[cursive tulip]

what does it do?

[austere grotto]

Enables it

[cursive tulip]

ok that fixed it. wow.
but a second problem was, I have a script for my ESC settings menu. the problem is, I am not sure anymore, how that input system things work, so that it can detect, if I press "ESC".
It did work earlier, but no longer for a time and I am not sure why. the important part of the script is, where it detects if I press "ESC" and to enable, disable a Gameobject:

[cursive tulip]

The:

 public void NewInSy_ESCReturn(InputAction.CallbackContext context)

part is the weirdest. I took a look on a older backup where the ESC menu did still work and they look like same.
How does the script detect the ESC button?

[austere grotto]

you'd have to hook that function up somehow to your input. Either from a PlayerInput component with Unity Events mode, or in your code by subscribing to an event from an input action

[cursive tulip]

thats the one, right?

[austere grotto]

that's your input actions asset

that's where the escape button may be bound to the action

but you need to hook the action up to your code somehow

[cursive tulip]

ESC_returnButton is the one that should be used because I have to use them for Keyboard, Gamepad and VR Controller

[austere grotto]

ok?

[cursive tulip]

What was the job of:

    public void NewInSy_ESCReturn(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
``` Because I can't remember why I put that into it...

does it have a reason? - What is that?

[austere grotto]

that's the signature of your method...

it;s part of the method declaration

not sure what you're asking

[cursive tulip]

is there a reason why this one dont have that?

[austere grotto]

because ... it doesn't?

That example is polling the input value in Update

a method like public void NewInSy_ESCReturn(InputAction.CallbackContext context) would be used for handling input events

[cursive tulip]

why do I ever need that? for what? what is that for?.

[austere grotto]

which is a different approach to input handling

[austere grotto]

^

[cursive tulip]

and how to handle them?

[austere grotto]

As mentioned here

[cursive tulip]

but how? how to make that?

[austere grotto]

maybe you should start with the tutorial pinned to the channel https://learn.unity.com/project/using-the-input-system-in-unity

[cursive tulip]

BUt I dont get the difference? Is it not that? but why do I need it if TEEEEST.cs doesent have it to work?

[austere grotto]

you don't need it unless you're doing event-based input handling

[cursive tulip]

Is there somethign missing in my code? Because the Thing I dont understand is, why is it working in my old backup, with closely the same codelines?

[austere grotto]

yes, a way to hook that function up to the actual input system

[cursive tulip]

I have to press ESC on my keyboard to trigger it.

maybe it was a try of me to handle the ESC Settings menu button without an performance hungry "Update" event.

so...

I need to trigger it if something happen on my keyboard and not after every frame

[austere grotto]

Right that's the whole point of event-based input handling

[cursive tulip]

it must be 2020 where I was at least on this script

working on it.

[cursive tulip]

I cant not find the: event-based input handling
How should a trigger looks like to trigger that via my Keyboard, over the Input Action List?

[austere grotto]

follow the tutorial

I no longer have time to explain here.

[cursive tulip]

thats something, but not that what I search for.

I dont get it, its like, its not happening inside the code, but also, something is missing in the code.

It's really confusing.

[austere grotto]

As I already mentioned here this is what you're missing

[cursive tulip]

I want to complete it, but I lost my memory about that:
I took " public void NewInSy_ESCReturn(InputAction.CallbackContext context)" and it must have a reason, but how do I finnish it? it's like it was never finnished.

[cursive tulip]

what fuction do you mean?

[cursive tulip]

There are so many tutorials, but not about that specific topic to handle this.

I dont evne know what to search for because all this newbie guides are not handling this stuff of advanced input system stuff.

what is a "Unity Events mode" and how does look a: "event from an input action"

It's like I lost my memory....

[austere grotto]

it's a mode on the PlayerInput component

the second one is just a basic C# language feature

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/programming-guide/events/

and InputAction is a class in the Input Sytem

[cursive tulip]

did I miss a drag and drop field in the insprector?

[cursive tulip]

but where do I have to call it and how to call it and what do I have to call?
I have a fuction, that is not in an update and have to be called, until ESC is pressed on the keyboard. So I think.... I'm lost.

[austere grotto]

I've told you like 20 times the answer to that

it's like there's a brick wall of you not wanting to listen/understand

so I'm not sure what else to say.

o watch some input system tutorials with an open mind and dispel any preconceived notion you have about how it's supposed to work.

[cursive tulip]

is it that?

"Behavior" ?

[austere grotto]

that is the invoke unity events mode yes

from there you'd expand the Events thing and assign your functions there

[candid bramble]

Hey, I lost my InputActions file. (moved my player prefab between projects and I only have the generated script)
Is there any way to generate the file back through my existing inputMaster script?

[austere grotto]

Copy it from the other project, no?

[candid bramble]

I formatted my pc recently, and that project was made over 8 months ago...
(I don't have access to it at the moment)
is it possible to regenerate the file?

[austere grotto]

from the C# file? Not really, no

you can examine the json in it and manually rebuild

[candid bramble]

I will probably recreate it than, Thanks!

[thorn crag]

So I'm starting to learn Unity and I'm trying to make a basic FPS rigid body movement system

I'm using the new input system

And I've made the Input Actions map and generated the C# file

I also have my own PlayerMove file where I would control the movement, but I'm unsure as to how I can control the movement of the player

How to use the input actions map's keys to then change the velocity of the rigid body

And what the best way to change the velocity of it would be

[upper tapir]

guys, I've been wondering how I can change my button UI based on current controller, for example, if you're using an xbox controller the UI image changes to xbox button

I just need a general idea on how it works, I don't have a specific case

[pallid gale]

Is it possible to set an input action to explicitly have no modifiers? So if I set up an action that's bound to the key A, can I say that if shift, control or alt are pressed then that means the action is cancelled? And if I press ctrl-A nothing will happen?

[austere grotto]

I think you'd have to just handle this yourself in code

[pallid gale]

urgh, ok thanks

[rough sleet]

Does anyone know how can I set the control scheme in code whith the generated C# class rather than the player input component?

[rare wadi]

Hello I would like the touch field to be delimited because when I move with my joystick it moves the camera which is very disturbing

[upper tapir]

anyone?

[cursive tulip]

Why does:

    public void NewInSy_ESCReturn(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
{

}

not get executed, if I press "ESC" on my Keyboard?

I though this is a way to run a function only, if the key was pressed and not checking it in every frame, like it would be with an if statement inside of a update function.

[short granite]

How would I specify the input for grbbing

onfoot hit

what code should I make so that I could use the hit input

[olive mortar]

Why does the input system allow you to use the Input Action SO but also the option to use a generated class?

im using the SO. is that bad? why would you use the generated C# class?

[olive mortar]

this is correct. have you assigned the action in the inspector?

for a callback

[austere grotto]

just preference I suppose?
The generated class has the names of your action map and input actions built into it

myInputObject.MyActionMap.MyAction``` for example

with compile time checking

which is pretty nice

[olive mortar]

can you explain "compile time checking"

[austere grotto]

If I write the name wrong

I get a compile error

I also get intellisense etc

[olive mortar]

oh, well i use the inspector callbacks so i dont think i can get the names wrong

[austere grotto]

as opposed to myInputActionAsset["MyActionMap/MyinputAction"]

[austere grotto]

you talking about the PlayerInput component?

or what

[olive mortar]

yea

but if i want to rference a specific action, you can do public InputActionReference shootAction;

for example, and jsut drag in the action you want

[austere grotto]

The input system has about a million different ways to use it, which is both a blessing and a curse

it's amazingly flexible, and also incredibly confusing to newcomers

[olive mortar]

i see, was just wondering if i made the wrong choice or not, doesnt seem like it. which is nice, thank you 🙂

[hot field]

If anyone's using the Steam Deck as a build target for their games, do you know what the controller buttons come up as? Does Unity see it as Xbox 360/One/XInput Controller? Or does Unity know it's "special" and detects it differently?

[rough sleet]

anyone?

[olive mortar]

what does this mean? its when the player is created with the input on it, seems to work, but just get this error sometimes

[mild orchid]

Using the new Input System on Linux to orbit the camera around the player. Issue is that the orbiting stops when the mouse reaches the edge of the screen.

Found this post: https://forum.unity.com/threads/cinemachine-free-look-camera-not-rotating-360-degrees-on-linux-editor-or-builds.1085396/
The OP said that they changed the input package to 1.0.1 however I'm unable to do that with the package manager

[cursive tulip]

how and where?
Because everythings I try feels wrong and doesent work.

[raw sonnet]

I have a Player Input Manager set up like this, and 2 Keyboard control schemes (left/right, for local multiplayer). Each of those schemes has a separate binding for Join. But when I press keyboard right's join binding, the Player Input always uses Keyboard Left. Anyone got an idea what I'm missing?

[raw sonnet]

PlayerInput Shared Keyboard Control Schemes for Local Multiplayer

[olive mortar]

The Player Input component

[vocal helm]

Hey, how can I use the "GetBindingDisplayString" function to get the bindings for these composite bindings?

I know normally you can do playerInput.actions["Jump"].GetBindingDisplayString(), but that only works if the action doesn't have composite bindings.

[amber ruin]

okay so I'm trying to learn the new input system, in the doc's example they check for a controller every fixedupdate

 void FixedUpdate()
    {
        var gamepad = Gamepad.current;
        if (gamepad == null)
            return; // No gamepad connected.

isn't that something that should be done in start so it's not having to constantly check that?

[shut ingot]

!docs

[austere grotto]

Maybe, but consider that it's possible for a gamepad be disconnected mid game

[amber ruin]

That's a good point, I probably over think optimization

[thorn cairn]

Hello! I am following a yt tutorial on a top down RPG right now and is having some problems. I can't seem to reference the InputValue to the Unity InputSystem, It just says that there are no code actions available. Please help!

[austere grotto]

as your error message says, you're just missing a using directive:
using UnityEngine.InputSystem;

You also need to get your IDE configured so it will show you errors properly. See IDE configuration in #854851968446365696

[thorn cairn]

Do I put this in VSCode?

[austere grotto]

yes of course... look at the top of your script currently

[thorn cairn]

Oh! It worked! thank you so much

[stiff siren]

so I'm trying to use the new input system but I'm not getting any value on Input Debugger

is there anything that I need to setup?

I'm not getting anything from keyboard too

oh, I'm restarted Unity and getting now

[amber ruin]

Where can I find a list of the UnityEngine.InputSystem methods? So far I'm just finding the quick start guide and it's not listed under the main API directory

[austere grotto]

its a known bug in 1.4.X, it'll hopefully get patched eventually

[upper tapir]

guys, I've been wondering how I can change my button UI based on current controller, for example, if you're using an xbox controller the UI image changes to xbox button
I just need a general idea on how it works, I don't have a specific case

[olive mortar]

    public void OnDeviceChanged(PlayerInput input)
    {
        UsingGamePad = !input.devices[0].device.name.Equals("Keyboard");


        foreach(InputDevice device in input.devices)
        {
            string deviceName = device.name;
            Debug.Log("Device Name: " + deviceName);
        }
    }``` here is how i check if the current device used is controller or not. it is an event for the Player Input component. im sure you can do the rest

        UsingGamePad = !input.devices[0].device.name.Equals("Keyboard");

        if (UsingGamePad)
        {
            IsXboxController = input.devices[0].name.Contains("Generic Xbox controller string"); (Psuedo string)
        }```

you can go one step further to get the device platform to show platform specific sprites

thank you so much

I don't know much about the new input system so it will be hard but at least I have an idea on how it works now

[olive mortar]

you could also probably fire an event too. which would be better

so if you're in menus and change input device, it'll change on the fly

without polling for it in Update etc

[upper tapir]

yeah

I'll learn more about the input system events

[upper tapir]

I should call that on the ondevicechange event right?

[olive mortar]

I use this component

[upper tapir]

this is the one I meant, thanks again you're my saviour

I just need to make a system to sort the platform specific icons then update them based on the current device

I've recently learned all this myself, loads better than old input manager
