you're literally just setting rotation - you can do that with Transform you don't need a Rigidbody for that

spice trout
#

yes I'm changing it now

austere grotto
#

transform.up = lookDir;

#

you don't even need the trigonometry

ok thanks

Can someone help? My mouse cursor is not being locked on linux

dusky lodge
#

are you using Cursor.lockState?

#

Tested compatibility. Interesting and surprising results.

#

Looks like any type of Touchscreen Simulation has its issues.

#

Furthermore, in a different test, saw some disappointing response delay to the Enhanced Touch from the time the key is pressed, to the actual key press actuation.

remote radish
#

Its specifically linux thats being a pain

dusky lodge
#

If you don't provide details and you just complain then it's not possible to help you

remote radish
#

what details am i supposed to provide lol

#

it

#

does not

#

work

#

ok actually i do have one detail, it is still confined to the window as far as i can tell

#

its just not locked to the center like i expect

#

and thus my raycasts get messed up

#

I'm experiencing an issue, tried to see if I could find anything similar online but nothing overly so that anyone had solutions for.

I'm using the new input system, and I have this thing that happens when im using both keyboard and a controller input, if i spam both of them (the same input type) they both lock up, and prevent me from hitting it anymore. It's semi-random, but happens consistently enough to where its consistently breaking and being an issue. Sometimes it temporarily stops working, sometimes it completely breaks.

Only that one specific input breaks also, i can hit other input just fine, but that input no longer registers. I've thrown some logs and breakpoints in, but its not even entering the function.

This is happening both in Editor, but also in my builds.

I register the input via

input.UI.GameActivate.performed += JoinMatch;

and have confirmed it gets registered. I also unregister it, and have confirmed its never getting unregistered. My actual configuration for the button looks like this.

If anyone has a clue, please let me know, this is very frustrating. For what its worth as well, Unity version is 2019.4.35f1, input system version shows 1.2.0 with a publish date of Nov 02/2021. It appears to be up to date, not sure if im able to update it any further.

im assuming that would help since these are all probably related to mouse input

Hey idk if you're still in the server but I experienced the same problem u did and I just refactored their code instead of using their "StarterAssetsInput" file

old matrix
#

Recently, I moved a lot of my code over to a new project, and the input broke. Mostly.
I re-set up the new input system, input debugger is working, I have the settings object, everything is put together, but for some reason I'm not receiving any of the messages in my scripts. How do I figure out what went wrong?

#

If I have this in awake

onMouseLeftClick.performed += OnMouseLeftClick;

Should I also have a

onMouseLeftClick.performed -= OnMouseLeftClick;

somewhere? If so, would OnDestroy() work?

#

Using the new input system

my Touchscreen Debugger stops working once I hit play; using Unity 2021.3.20.

I have to disable then reenable it to get it to work again, but stops as soon as I hit play again.

Any insights are greatly appreciated.

quick question, I just got a ps5 controller. I cant find anywhere thats recent to say whether or not its supported so I thought I'd ask. If I wanted to use the adaptive triggers in a game is that possible? or still not yet

Is there any reason that one component on a GameObject May receive messages from a playerinput , but another doesn’t?

# austere grotto show your code and your playerinput setup?

taking a second looks, the one that works is like this:

public void OnMove() => Debug.Log("On Move");

and the one that doesn't looks like this:

public void OnMove(InputValue value)
        {
            Debug.Log("Move");
            MoveInput(value.Get<Vector2>());
        }

I am not noticing that the function signatures are different. It should be sending the InputValue along with it, but clearly it isnt.

that'll do it 😉

thank you that fixed it

my set it and forget it was quite literal

remote radish
#

Ok im gonna re-ask,
Cursor.lockState = Locked is not working on a specific linux test machine im using (i havent tested on multiple linux machines yet), but it works fine on two windows machines and the unity editor. The look system still works, and the cursor stays confined to the window, but id like to be able cast rays for interacting with and picking up items. is it reasonable to just use the middle of the screen to achieve my goal? id prefer to just fix Cursor.lockState = Locked but i have no clues on how to fix it, and maybe noone does lol

The test OS is Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS, GNOME 3.36.8 and im using X for the windowing.

How asset maps are meant to be used?

#

Let's say I have LevelEditor actions and Runtime actions

#

am I supposed to put them in same asset but separate maps

#

or am I supposed to create separate assets?

Hi there, I wish to use The OnPointerEnter event of the IPointerEnterHandler interface but I use a second camera that output on a render instead of my main one. How can I change the camera used for the event ?

#

I don't know why this happened, but I edited my Input Asset Map and then these errors started popping up

#

I know that it's something to do with ambiguity and that there are 2 functions w/ the same name

#

but idk what caused it

#

and how I'm supposed to fix it

#

are there 2 of the same class?

there were 2 classes somehow

Folks, I'm trying to have the combination 'down' and 'jump' recognised in my action map. It's currently working for the keyboard (ie. pressing jump, then holding jump and down triggers the buttstomp) but I can't seem to get that to work for the gamepad. Can anybody suggest a solution?

#

if I were to get a bool from ReadValueAsButton of a action type button, would it return false if it isn't being pressed?

#

if so, then what is wrong with my code?

#

float targetSpeed; // set target speed based on move speed, sprint speed and if sprint is pressed if (crouch) { targetSpeed = CrouchSpeed; } else { targetSpeed = sprint ? SprintSpeed : MoveSpeed; } this is being used to determine the speed of the movement

#

playerInput.Player.Sprint.performed += ctx => sprint = ctx.ReadValueAsButton(); playerInput.Player.Crouch.performed += ctx => crouch = ctx.ReadValueAsButton();

#

those are the 2 code excerpts which should be relevant

#

whenever I press the crouch key, it changes to crouch speed, but when I release the crouch key, it doesn't change back to move speed and I can't change it to any other speed

#

I have functions listening to crouch.started & crouch.canceled

#

could that affect it?

austere grotto
#

performed only runs one time during the button press

#

canceled runs when you release it

neat pebble
austere grotto
neat pebble
#

But should performed be false if the key isn't being pressed?

austere grotto
#

?

#

performed is an event

#

how can it be false

neat pebble
#

then how does

#

playerInput.Player.Sprint.performed += ctx => sprint = ctx.ReadValueAsButton();
work

austere grotto
#

it runs that code when the performed event happens

#

it tells it to run this ctx => sprint = ctx.ReadValueAsButton(); lambda when the performed event happens

#

performed is an event

hi guys, i'm using starter assets third person controller with ui toolkit but when player gets spawned my buttons stop registering the onclick event

#

any idea why?

is player input component ther screws everything up?

#

Pasting this problem here because its more relevant

#

Im so sorry to come in here and immediately talk about my problems but i just figured i might get more help here. All of my controllers suddenly started being characterized as joysticks and so nothing is working in the editor or the build. I cant possibly manually override the unity code for every single compatible controller, and I cant have generic joystick support because my game uses, like, more buttons than a joystick has.

Has anyone had an issue like this before or does someone know what could be happening? I can give as much information as is needed. This is happening on all projects, not just the one im working on

Hello, I need help, I have several actions Up, Down, Left, Right in playerInputActions;
And I'm looking to create a condition, with the new input system, that says, for example if (button pressed/release = Up){ //animator.Play("Animation1")}; what's the best way to write it ? Thanks in advance

    private PlayerInputActions playerInput;

     void Awake() {
        playerInput = new PlayerInputActions();
        rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
  
    }

    {
        playerInput.Enable();  
    }
    private void OnDisable()

        playerInput.Disable();  
    }
    void FixedUpdate(){
        Vector2 moveInput = playerInput.Movement.Move.ReadValue<Vector2>();
        rb.velocity = moveInput * speed;
    }
       }```

dusty ridge
#

if key pressed is UpKey, play an animation

austere grotto
#

YOu should not be checking which key is pressed

#

if you want to do something when a specific key is pressed, make a separate Input Action for that

#

and bind that key to it.

#

If you want to check if the movement value is "up" just do that:

# 
if (moveInput.y > 0) {
  // do whatever you want to do.
}```

hey so i'm following this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJqP5EesxLk&t=388s

to try to get the basics of first person movement, I notice that he is using a movement script with it's own method for taking in a vector to move the player. is that how it's supposed to be done with the new input system? i thought you were supposed to implement the auto generated methods (for example, OnMovement() if you named your action movement)

Hey, I currently am using the PlayerInputManager to allow multiple players to join the lobby, however I would now like to know how I can reference which player triggers an onclick event when interacting with different ui buttons as I don't want them to start playing straight away and would like for them to be able to choose their characters, how would I get a reference to the PlayerInput that triggers an onclick event?

I'm using Mirror with Steamworks. I'm having an issue were the client build doesn't recognise the mouse input but the host does

# 
private bool IsCurrentDeviceMouse
    {
        get
        {
            #if ENABLE_INPUT_SYSTEM
            return playerInput.currentControlScheme == "KeyboardMouse";
            #else
                return false;
            #endif
        }
    }
chrome walrus
#

did you debug log your playerInput and also your currentControlScheme, what do you get on client?

icy river
#

It's as if the client isn't calling IsCurrentDeviceMouse because the host has already done it or the second user just can't access the input system

chrome walrus
#

Okay wait, is that local multiplayer or network?

icy river
#

Where would you recommend I put the debug log in. The input system is assign in the editor

#

Network, through two steam accounts

chrome walrus
#

where do you call that iscurrentdevicemouse boolean?

icy river
# 
public void CameraRotation()
    {
        Debug.Log(IsCurrentDeviceMouse);
        // if there is an input and camera position is not fixed
        if (look.sqrMagnitude >= threshold && !LockCameraPosition)
            {
                //Don't multiply mouse input by Time.deltaTime;
                float deltaTimeMultiplier = IsCurrentDeviceMouse ? 1.0f : Time.deltaTime;
            
                cinemachineTargetYaw += look.x * deltaTimeMultiplier;
                cinemachineTargetPitch += look.y * deltaTimeMultiplier;
            
                Debug.Log("Deltatime: " + deltaTimeMultiplier + " // look sqrMag: " + look.sqrMagnitude);
            }

            // clamp our rotations so our values are limited 360 degrees
            cinemachineTargetYaw = ClampAngle(cinemachineTargetYaw, float.MinValue, float.MaxValue);
            cinemachineTargetPitch = ClampAngle(cinemachineTargetPitch, BottomClamp, TopClamp);

            // Cinemachine will follow this target
            lookAt.transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(cinemachineTargetPitch + CameraAngleOverride,
                cinemachineTargetYaw, 0.0f);

            //if (currentStyle == CameraStyle.Normal)

            //else if (currentStyle == CameraStyle.Combat)
        

    }
chrome walrus
#

please add cs after your three ` so its formatting better here

icy river
#

The first three or last three?

#

Ahh got it

chrome walrus
#

thanks 🙂

#

And all debug .logs I see are being called on both host and client?

icy river
#

Yes for both. I've tested each side in the editor to see the errors

#

Client comes back false, so it works for both

#

But it seems like the client can't identify that I'm using M&K

chrome walrus
#

And what if you debug log the current controlscheme, what do you get?

icy river
#

Host comes back true, Client comes back false

#

CameraRotation() is called in FixedUpdate so is constantly updated

chrome walrus
#

No, I am not asking for the bool

#

Debug.Log playerInput and playerInput.currentControlScheme

icy river
#

Ok, give me a moment

hey guys im having a problem, so i made on screen controls with the new input system and it all works perfectly on pc when i click it with my mouse, but when i build it and run it on android the buttons dont work

i used ui buttons

and on screen button script

icy river
#

Have you got an EvenSystem in the scene?

no

whats that

#

im new to unity

I'm using Sandboxie (VM) to have two instances of steam open, then open the build through steam as an app

#

I doubt Sandboxie will have an issue as I can still use the WASD to move about etc

chrome walrus
#

But maybe unitys detection has an issue with that

#

I have not worked with steamworks, but is that based on Unitys own playerInput or hooked into that?

icy river
#

I don't think it does because my friend tried it on his pc and had the same issue

#

Steam works is just p2p, game runs as if both people are the host

chrome walrus
#

doy ou have any code reference of what is client and host?

icy river
#

So its as if steamworks isn't there to the build

#

It just thinks it's playing by itself unless told so

#

So it should just work

chrome walrus
#

Okay so steamworks is out as an issue I understand. So what about the unity part. Where do you set the player to be host or client?

icy river
#

Yeah I'd assume so. Host is just the person who starts the lobby, then a prefab of the player gets spawned. Each gets their camera enabled on their end

chrome walrus
#

and each player gets their input enabled, yes?

#

Doy ou have any specific host / client code that is missing on the other part probably?

sly ledge
icy river
#

Yeah so they each have their own OnStartAuthority() which enables cameras and PlayerInputActions (the name of the Input Action Asset)

chrome walrus
icy river
# 
public override void OnStartAuthority()
    {
        cineMachineCameraNormal.gameObject.SetActive(true);
        cineMachineCameraAim.gameObject.SetActive(true);
        cineMachineCameraNormal.Priority = 1;
        cineMachineCameraAim.Priority = 0;

        //Player Setting
        playerModel.SetActive(false);
        jumpTimeoutDelta = JumpTimeout;//Reset
        fallTimeoutDelta = FallTimeout;//Reset

        //Camera Setting
        cineMachineCameraNormal.LookAt = this.gameObject.transform.Find("LookAt");
        cineMachineCameraAim.LookAt = this.gameObject.transform.Find("LookAt");
        cinemachineTargetYaw = lookAt.transform.rotation.eulerAngles.y;

        //Input Setting
        PlayerInputActions.Enable();
        PlayerInputActions.Player.Aim.performed += x => Aim();
        if (sprintHold)
        {
            PlayerInputActions.Player.Sprint.performed += SprintOn;
            PlayerInputActions.Player.Sprint.canceled += SprintOff;
        }
        else
        {
            PlayerInputActions.Player.Sprint.performed += SprintToggle;
            
        }

        PlayerInputActions.Player.Jump.performed += x => Jump();

        PlayerInputActions.Player.Crouch.performed += x => Crouch();
        
        PlayerInputActions.Player.Pause.started += x => Pause();


        //UI Setting
        pause = false;
    }
#

The player Input Actions work as I can walk about

#

It's just the issue with the ControlScheme

chrome walrus
#

can you debug log control schemes at all? Like log the list of the available ones?

icy river
#

Do you know the command for it?

chrome walrus
#

Where do you instantiate the player?

icy river
#

It's instantiated in the lobby

chrome walrus
#

Any code or is it done automatically?

icy river
# 
public void CreateHostPlayerItem()
    {
        foreach (PlayerObjectController player in Manager.gamePlayers)
        {
            GameObject NewPlayerItem = Instantiate(playerListItemPrefab) as GameObject;
            PlayerListItem NewPlayerItemScript = NewPlayerItem.GetComponent<PlayerListItem>();

            NewPlayerItemScript.playerName = player.playerName;
            NewPlayerItemScript.connectionID = player.connectionID;
            NewPlayerItemScript.playerSteamID = player.playerSteamID;

            NewPlayerItem.transform.localScale = Vector3.one;

            playerListItems.Add(NewPlayerItemScript);
        }

            {
                GameObject NewPlayerItem = Instantiate(playerListItemPrefab) as GameObject;
                PlayerListItem NewPlayerItemScript = NewPlayerItem.GetComponent<PlayerListItem>();

                NewPlayerItemScript.playerName = player.playerName;
                NewPlayerItemScript.connectionID = player.connectionID;
                NewPlayerItemScript.playerSteamID = player.playerSteamID;

                NewPlayerItem.transform.localScale = Vector3.one;

                playerListItems.Add(NewPlayerItemScript);
            }
        }
    }
chrome walrus
#

so you can just debug log controlSchemes, is that possible from playerInput?

icy river
#

I did in the two screen shots, the host was M&K and the client was nothing which then relates back to the

 private bool IsCurrentDeviceMouse
    {
        get
        {
            #if ENABLE_INPUT_SYSTEM
            return playerInput.currentControlScheme == "KeyboardMouse";
            #else
                return false;
            #endif
        }
    }
chrome walrus
#

no, controlSchemes , hence the S at the end 😉

icy river
#

They are here

#

But my point is, the client goes through the IsCurrentDeviceMouse and returns false

chrome walrus
#

thats why I wanted to check if the client even has access to all controlschemes or just using a default fallback on top of your actions

icy river
#

Ahhh. How do I debug that?

#

Can't seem to list them

#

I can check for this playerInput.defaultControlScheme

chrome walrus
#

there is no plural version controlSchemes ?

Not that I know of

Let me test this real quick

icy river
#

Thanks for this

chrome walrus
#

So this seem to work on my side

#

But its out of the scope of playerinput. So you gotta get the input asset from the playerInput first

#

Because from what I read about playerinput, when you use teh playerinput instantiate method, you can pass in a controlscheme

icy river
#

How have you got .controlSchemes 😆

chrome walrus
#

playerInput is a wrapper that is using input system, but what I am accessing is the actual input asset c# class

icy river
#

Wait. I only have [SerializeField] PlayerInput playerInput; declared

chrome walrus
#

does playerInput have an inputasset reference?

icy river
#

Ohh yours are PlayerInputActions not the playerInput

#

Debug.Log(PlayerInputActions.controlSchemes);

chrome walrus
#

Yes exactly what I was trying to say 😄

icy river
#

My bad

chrome walrus
#

Nah its fine, hard to describe only by text

icy river
#

This is the host:

layerInput: LocalGamePlayer (UnityEngine.InputSystem.PlayerInput) // currentControlScheme: KeyboardMouse /// Schemes: UnityEngine.InputSystem.Utilities.ReadOnlyArray`1[[UnityEngine.InputSystem.InputControlScheme, Unity.InputSystem, Version=1.4.4.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null]]
UnityEngine.Debug:Log (object)
PlayerMovementController:CameraRotation () (at Assets/Scripts/PlayerMovementController.cs:315)
PlayerMovementController:LateUpdate () (at Assets/Scripts/PlayerMovementController.cs:193)

chrome walrus
#

do a foreach on that array or a for loop abd debug.log out the objects, not just the array object

icy river
#

So something like this?

for (int i = 0; i < PlayerInputActions.controlSchemes.Count; i++)
{
Debug.Log(PlayerInputActions.controlSchemes[i]);
}

chrome walrus
#

yeah if its a List, use count or Length if array

icy river
chrome walrus
#

I think the problem is not, that you rinput scheme is not working, but looks like you have to set a scheme when adding the player somehow. Does the array print out something useful?

icy river
#

Ok so on the host side it does print out the list, let me check on client

#

So it does see them

chrome walrus
#

Yeah i guess you just have to set it to your desired controlscheme

icy river
#

But it then all relates back to the IsCurrentDeviceMouse bool

#

Oh wait

#

The input system doesn't think it's M&K

chrome walrus
#

what does it think it is?

icy river
#

No idea, I wonder how to declare it

chrome walrus
#

If you use playerinput, it should switch automatically

icy river
#

Yeah it's got auto-switch on

chrome walrus
#

and debug log there if something is happening at all on your client

icy river
#

The onControlsChanged?

chrome walrus
#

yep

#

And then just try out in the editor to switch between mouse keyboard and maybe a gamepad

icy river
#

It seems like that is an action, like .performed etc

#

Not an output

#

I can try .notificationBehavior?

chrome walrus
#

its an event, how do you try to hook into it?

#

You have to use it like a delegate with +=

icy river
#

playerInput.onControlsChanged += x => test();

#

I've not used that in my code

chrome walrus
# 
.onControlsChanged += OnControlsChanged;

    }
    public void OnControlsChanged(PlayerInput input)
    {
        Debug.Log("OnControlsChanged");
    }
icy river
#

It doesn't like the (PlayerInput input)

#

playerInput.onControlsChanged += x => OnControlsChanged(playerInput);

chrome walrus
#

why do you want to make it a one liner? 😉

#

its just for testing and you remove it anyway later 😄

icy river
#

Nah it just wasn't liking it, I've added the method

#

along with that

chrome walrus
#

nah just remove the PlayerInput input and let VS autocorrect it for you what it is missing in the brackets 😄

icy river
#

Ok so I've tested both and none call the method

chrome walrus
#

So I think you are using the PlayerInput wrong at some point here

icy river
#

Yeah that's what I'm thinking

#

Maybe the client is grabbing the hosts?

chrome walrus
#

Oh wait. can you try to use the playerinputs instantiate function instead of your own?

icy river
#

So I can declare this in the OnStartAuthority() instead of the Editor reference?

#

So it looks like it's using the correct PlayerInput

chrome walrus
#

Wait, you got a null reference upt here

#

You should fix that first 😄

icy river
#

That's just checking if ready

#

Like the host can only start the game so client doesn't know what it is

chrome walrus
#

But an error can break the game and I would not rely debugging on a faulty environment

#

oh wait, client does not know and is the only one getting the error?

#

hmmmm 😉

icy river
#

Hmmm

#

It doesn't know what his is (localPlayerController.playerIDNumber)

if (allReady)
        {
            if (localPlayerController.playerIDNumber ==1)
            {
                StartGameButton.interactable = true;
            }
            else
            {
                StartGameButton.interactable = false;
            }
        }
chrome walrus
#

then do a null check if localPlayerController is != null and playerIDNumber != null

icy river
#

Ok so the error has gone but the issue still occurs

chrome walrus
#

Alright, so lets move on and try to instantiate with the playerinput function

icy river
#

The one you previously linked?

chrome walrus
#

yep

#

let me reread this, it might just be important for local players

icy river
#

Ok

#

From what I've research, the client is exactly like the host except they use the same camera and canvas, event systems etc

#

But they have to disable them on their end

chrome walrus
#

Oh, is this the solution? 😄

icy river
#

Nah hahaha

#

Not just yet

#

This is what I was looking at

chrome walrus
#

I am sorry I cant help more with this, cause I never used playerinput with multiplayer, I usually just take the bare minimum I need so I know whats going on and do it myself cause I never really needed game like matchmaking on my game. Just guessing around and researching here 😄

icy river
#

Yeah I'm the same, thought it would be interesting to make a co-op game and this is the first issue I've run into 😆

chrome walrus
#

Can you just try to set the scheme?

icy river
#

I could just set it to mouse, and keyboard in the first bit I set in the game. Let's check if that actually works 😆

chrome walrus
#

Yeah, try and error 😄

icy river
#

Ok so obviously it will work because I'm manually setting it 😆 think my brain is fried atm

#

But that's not the point

#

It's the input system which isn't happy

# 
#if ENABLE_INPUT_SYSTEM
            return PlayerInput.currentControlScheme == "KeyboardMouse";
            #else
                return;
            #endif
#

So If Input System is enabled (which it thinks it's not), it returns false

#

Oh wait

#

it returns false because of the control scheme not being keyboardmouse

chrome walrus
#

yep

icy river
#

So it's not understanding the playerinput

chrome walrus
#

the PlayerInput somehow does not update its controlscheme, as we learned from oninputchanged event

icy river
#

Maybe the idea is that I need to get the device the user is using and then just constantly add it in the update or start

chrome walrus
#

you could check the Mouse.current and Gamepad.current etc. to see, if that at least gets values, otherwise you might ahve another problem 😄

icy river
#

The mouse does get an input because the Vector2 Look value changes 😆

chrome walrus
#

Nah the input works as you said, but the Mouse.current is something inside the input system that might also not get registered as it is not detecting the input change.

icy river
#

So the mouse.current is being detected

chrome walrus
#

What the heck. are you somehow using a new playerinput instead of the one in the scene on your client?

icy river
#

The issue we are facing is that the playerinput isn't updating what device it's using

chrome walrus
#

Thats why I am wondering if the playerinput you look at is the actual one that is active for the client

icy river
#

I've tried getting the component in the auth start

#

and no luck

#

This could be a possibility to do it manually

foreach (var d in Control.devices)
            {
                Debug.Log("running devices check: " + d.lastUpdateTime + " device name: " + d.name);
                if (d.lastUpdateTime < smallestUpdateTime)
                {
                    smallestUpdateTime = d.lastUpdateTime;
                    LastUsedDevice = d;
                }
            }
chrome walrus
#

Sorry, quite hooked into the current gdc talk right now here on the server 😄

icy river
#

I wonder if it's trying to use the host's playerinput but not being allowed because it's not the host

chrome walrus
#

Hm, maybe your multiplayer system is actually just not connecting the client player in network scope to your local playerinput, that might be true

icy river
#

Which is causing that image

#

I seem to be able to gain access the playerinputs this way

Folks, I'm trying to work out if the same input on an Input Action overrides the output? In my case, I have W set up to request teleport through a door, but also to increase the height that the main character will jump to. I'd like to be able to activate both with the same button press, but I can't seem to activate 'ExtraHighJump' now. Any thoughts?

#

I'm sorry, can you clarify what you mean by 'set the action'?

austere grotto
delicate pollen
#

Huh. I just flipped the order of items in the Player Actions and it doesn't seem to change the output.

icy river
delicate pollen
#

@austere grotto Uh, I'm using a PlayerInput on a separate Input Manager in order to trigger Events which are sent to specific scripts on the main character.

#

On the "CharDoorTeleport" script, the code is...

# 
public void OnTeleportRequest(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
    {
        if (context.started)
        {
            doorTeleport = CastForDoor();
            if (doorTeleport) Teleport();
        }
    }
icy river
#

With the callbackContext are you setting it up in the inputsystem events?

delicate pollen
#

On "CharMoveV", the code reads,

# 
public void OnExtraHighJump(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
        {
            if (context.started)
            {
                upwardMovementMultiplier = upwardMovementMultExtra;
                Debug.Log("Higher jump!");
            }

            if (context.canceled)
            {
                upwardMovementMultiplier = upwardMovementMultDefault;
            }
        }
#

@icy river ,

viral flicker
#

i prefer the event system but im tired of setting up all the values every time

austere grotto
#

Use SendMessages mode or manually subscribe to the events in your code

viral flicker
#

I decided to use the event system because using the sendmessages mode broke if i added player input to more than one gameobject, only one would work

viral flicker
austere grotto
viral flicker
austere grotto
#

make it a prefab

viral flicker
#

and i have to manually set all the events each time

viral flicker
austere grotto
#

If you make it a prefab you only need to do it once

viral flicker
austere grotto
#

make it reference a script on itself

viral flicker
#

would that work though?

austere grotto
#

and have that script reach out to the player prefab via singleton reference or something

#

or have this cript fire an event

#

and the player script listens to the event

#

etc.

#

lots of ways around it

viral flicker
#

so like a playerhandler script on the gamemanager that fires events or something?

#

that the player script listens to?

#

would that work with callback contexts?

#

like this for example

image.png
austere grotto
austere grotto
#

or just leave it like that

#

and the player script reads from it

viral flicker
#

i see

#

that is what i will be doing today

#

thank you

#

@austere grotto thanks for your advice, the input system is now a lot easier with this new delegate event system i've made

Hello,

I'm currently facing an issue where my player prefab (host) spawns and works correctly, however when a second player joins (client) and spawns they don't have any devices assigned in the player input.

The prefabs for both players are the same, each having its own Player Input.

I am able to get the player inputs through "PlayerInput.all[0]" (for the host) and "[1]" for the second player. Which proves they are assigned. However, when I try to use a call on PlayerInput.currentControlScheme, the host is OK and will come up with "M&K" but the client will come up with null. Now both players are instantiated the same.

Any ideas on how to get the player to be assigned with a currently active device for currentControlScheme.

Thanks!

Hey everyone, do you know how I can trigger action with new input system just like with old Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space), when i use new input system it triggers button multiple times

blissful lotus
blissful lotus
#

@mellow jacinth As an example, your event may fire when started, held, canceled, etc. If you only want to catch the moment it is pressed, check context.phase == InputActionPhase.Started to get the first of these events only.

austere grotto
#

Simpler way to do this^ is if (context.started)

#

Alright, so I'm making a platformer, using the new input system, and I have an aiming system controlled by the arrow keys, and then the typical WASD movement.
I can also jump with Space.
Everything works as it should, but the moment I press up+left arrows to aim and try to press Space to jump, the jump doesn't register.
I have this method that returns true when one of the buttons in the first image (south button/X on playstation/etc or spacebar on keyboard), and I tried printing when I press jump. To my surprise, it never prints true when I'm aiming up+left, but all the other directions are fine.
This method is called by Update(), so there is no conditions in between that could mess with it either.
I have no idea what could be causing this.
Does Unity have a limit when it comes to inputs? Maybe up+left somehow overrides the spacebar?

how do I consume an input? I have a UnityEvent-based UI and one of the things it does is set the EventSystem.currentSelectedGameObject so controllers work better but pressing one button will press the one that's selected immediately with the same button press. Does anyone know if I can consume the input directly before or after setting the current selected game object?

chrome walrus

#

Hello ! So, ahah, I have a little problem, but I don't know if it's coming from me or the source code of the Input System (V 1.3.0)

Reminder : When using PerformInteractiveRebind on an action, we can use WithCancelingThrough(InputControl control) to designate a key that'll have the role to cancel the rebind operation.

Context : Of course, I'm using the Escape key to do so on keyboard. So I reference an InputControl linked to the path "<Keyboard>/escape", and I put it in the WithCancelingThrough parameter.

Problem: I spent half an hour inspecting the source code of when the OnCancel() is called, and I found a "FIXME" (screen below) that returns me true (meaning it matches Escape) instead of false when pressing the E key.
-> If I designate the Enter key as the canceling one, same result

Code investigation : That basically comes from the fact that we can use Wildcards such as /* to say that every key will cancel. The code behavior is simply : I pressed E -> is lenght of E > lenght of Escape (1 > 6) ? -> No, so iterate over each characters of E and see if it matches the Escape characters -> Stop at first index -> It's the same, great !

Has anyone had this problem, and how could I fix it ? Is it fixed in ulterior versions ?

The only solution that I can find right now is to not use the WithCancelingThrough and instead do it my way

Thank you for ready, sorry for the long-windedness

The cancel button for the input system in the default inputs is ESC for keyboard right?

cuz that frame it's activating the current button, then the new button when I set it as the selected gameObject

so I wanna activate the current button, then select the new gameObject without immediately pressing it

no, the same button press activates both buttons

but I want it to be 2 separate ones

so yes actually

in its current state, it presses both buttons at once which I DON'T want

and that should consume the Submit event, IIRC

#

using the new input system, while holding shift my space bar input is not detected. No where am I disabling that action or unsubscribing from that event. What could be causing this?

austere grotto
#

See if your key combination is detected properly

livid glade
#

Yes I’ve come to the conclusion this is the issue. It’s a school keyboard and I was swearing to my team it was working at my house. It seems only this combination is affected, so I guess I’ll change sprint to ctrl, since even having it as a toggle could cause problems if the person holds it

Hello 👋
I want to make a game and use the new input system for once, problem : I don't know how to use it.

Can somebody help ?

OKay guys i have an problem, i just found today, that unity gives a script that allows you to control a cursor image with a gamepad, but the problem is that none of it is working, i've connected my controller joystick reference to it, and its still not moving the virtual mouse. The name of the script is VirualMouse/ Virtual Mouse Input.

Is there a way to tell what data type a control type will be from an inputvalue when selecting value as an action type. For instance, obviously a Vector2 control type will be a Vector2, but stuff like Digital is less straight forward (I could see it being a bool, int, or float)

livid glade
celest orchid
livid glade
#

using it as button you can get if it's released.

celest orchid
#

I thought it only calls the event when the button is pressed?

livid glade
#

I'm doing the very thing in a character controller right now actually.

There are 3 events you can subscribe to, started, performed, and canceled

You subscribe to the cancel event like this:

_actionMap.Space.canceled += Space_canceled;

_actionMap of course being an action map, Space being the action you create in the input action asset.

#

there are also multiple ways to use the new input system. I don't use the built-in components, I instead choose the option to have the Input Actions asset generate a script so that I can create an instance of that script and just subscribe to the events through that.

celest orchid
#

Ah, currently I'm using the SendMessage way with the Onxxx(Inputvalue value), is the other way better?

#

Ah

livid glade
celest orchid
#

Yeah since I'm setting up an MP game, I guess I'll research the other way a bit. Just kinda hate that the new input system doesn't have that great of documentation yet especially after moving away from UE after a bit from trying to use that

livid glade
#

I do believe that the way you're doing it however can work. I believe you can do something along the lines of

if(value.canceled) {

}
``` I'm not completely sure if this works however, as I don't normally use the components.

The way to subscribe to the events through the class it generates allows you to read a canceled value from the parameter it requires, but I've never tried it.

My goal is to detect only one gesture if player will touch screen. I tried to use interactions Tap, Hold, Multi Tap for created Actions, but Tap action is called every time.

Without swipe gesture I found solution to use for gesture detection MultiTap action:
-> if is multiTap performed, player created double tap
-> if is multiTap canceled, player created single tap.

But this system is not working If I will add swipe gesture, because Tap will be called (because of movement will be multiTap canceled), but hold action will be active. So in this case if player will be swiping, tap gesture will be triggered too.

Do you have any ideas how to solve it? Thank you 🙂

Hi, I have used the new Input system before, but now I have no idea how and why my code works now. And I can't find the method that I used before.

I used the unity event behavior to send events. But I didn't set up any events in the editor (the list is empty). I used the Controls.IKeyboardActions right after the monobehavior, and currently can't find the documentation on it.

public class ControlsManager : MonoBehaviour,
    Controls.IKeyboardActions
{

The code after looks just like if you would write it as a Unity event. (public void OnSmth (InputAction.CallbackContext context) etc...) But I didn't need to subscribe to the publisher.

Another thing that I remembered is that if you don't have a On function for every Input action that you made, it will spit out an error.

Another thing that I remembered is that if you don't have a On function for every Input action that you made, it will spit out an error.
Yes this is how C# interfaces work, you must implement all members of the interface.

#

Somewhere in Awake, Start, OnEnable you are creating an instance of the generated class and registering yourself as a callback listener.

Hi there
does anyone know a way to design actions for exclusive overrides?
Like if I have the button F set for one action, how can I prevent it from triggering when another action has Shift+F enabled?

austere grotto
#

and have logic like:

if (modifierAction.IsPressed()) {
  // do modified action
}
else {
  // do normal action
}```
flint snow
#

hm... too bad... especially on controller

coarse umbra
#

Is there a way to detect control scheme changes when using the "Generate C# class" option? Everything I've found online appears to rely on the PlayerInput component, which I'm not using.

#

At the moment, both gamepad and keyboard bindings work simultaneously. This is what I want, but I would also like to know what was the last control scheme they used so that I can update control prompts

Hi, I am using the new input system and it is working amazingly. Only, for some reason, my switch pro controller joysticks seem to be doing nothing. All of the buttons for it work great though. Is there a different way I'm supposed to set this up..?

image.png
#

@ me if you know, thanks!

flint snow
#

@austere grotto @verbal remnant I've figured it out
Unity actually has support for that
you need to enable Enable Input Consumption inside the Input System Settings (in Project Settings, off by default,requires a custom settings asset)
but have to be careful how you're handling input actions

verbal remnant
regal osprey

might've been cool if the sorting order of actions in the same map would set the priority

ok so i am trying to get controller to work for my game, and the problem is when i try doing the inputs i set, it doesnt do anything unless i put my code into the update method, but it makes it move way to fast.

control = new Controller();
control.Enable();
control.controls.RotateRight.performed += ctx => RotateRight();
control.controls.RotateLeft.performed += ctx => RotateLeft();
control.controls.Boost.performed += ctx => StartThrusting();
austere grotto
#

most likely for something like "RotateRight" or "RotateLeft" though it will be cleaner and more natural to poll the input in Update rather than trying to use events.

lethal raven
austere grotto
# lethal raven

Apply rotation is something you'd want to be doing in Update

I have a script that sends a ray cast to tell if a player is hovering over an object, is there a way for that object to tell if its being hit by that ray cast?

austere grotto
#

but yes of course

#

call a function on a script on the object

#

not sure what this has to do with the input system though

ocean lichen

hi guys, I made this really simple version of my issue in a new project for ease of demonstration, am I doing something wrong here if I expect "help" to be printed when I press W? It worked yesterday but now I can't get any input to do anything and I can't figure out how I somehow managed to completely cease to understand the fundamentals of the new Input System overnight.

austere grotto
#

Looks like you might be missing the InputValue parameter in your OnAction method

bitter bridge
#

what device are you looking at this from? this is full resolution uncompressed 2k image

austere grotto
#

Android

austere grotto
#

You also seem to maybe have two identically named action maps

#

Not sure which one may be active

#

Again kinda blurry for me though 😭

bitter bridge
#

really hard to get all the details in with a smaller image, but

  1. input action map 1 is the one active
  2. input value is optional, but with/without changes nothing in that case
austere grotto
#

Really stupid question but:
You are running the game right?
And you do have info logs enabled on console?

bitter bridge
#

running: yes, I kinda want to feel offended by you asking that but at the same time that's definitively a valid question haha
info logs enabled: they can be disabled? How do I check? I tried log, logError, etc. all output nothing but other regular errors or warning show up

#

I know you can press their logos at the top right of the console, if that's what you meant yea they're on

austere grotto
#

Yeah

#

That

#

Also if you typed a search term into console that can hide things too

#

Noting also your action name is lowercase, and even though the inspector shows "OnAction" I wonder if it wouldn't be "Onaction"?

bitter bridge
#

to remove the console as a variable of the issue I tried a simple transform.position and it doesn't do it either, really doesn't reach the code

#

convention is always upper case all words (changed the name from Action to Move but yea, same deal)

image.png
#

I'm really at a loss of idea, spent maybe 3 hours on the issue, I have zero lead on what might be causing it because what I'm trying to achieve is so simple, it's like if I spawned a cube in the scene and it didn't appear, it's impossible to debug, like it's just supposed to do it

austere grotto
#

Could be a control scheme issue possibly

bitter bridge
#

Maybe, but short of reinstalling unity as a whole I'm not sure what to do, like I created a whole new project for the sake of isolated testing, and it didn't work

austere grotto
#

Another dumb question - is active input handling set to New?

bitter bridge
#

yea

austere grotto
#

And if you open the input debugger

#

You can see w key getting pressed?

bitter bridge
#

yea, does appear

#

I think Imma just change job and like become a potato farmer or something

anyone got experience with having an input rebind menu in a game?

#

i built one that's fully functional when i play my game within the unity editor but as soon as i build my game none of the rebinds work

#

as in they auto reset back to the original binds as soon as i "close the menu"

hoary heron
#

how can I make it so if I'm holding down the button the TapAction is never performed?

when I hold down the button it still gets performed

ok then nvm

if(OnSlope())
        {
            rb.AddForce(GetSlopeMoveDirection() * moveSpeed * 20f, ForceMode.Force);
        }

 private bool OnSlope()
    {
        if(Physics.Raycast(transform.position, Vector3.down, out slopeHit, playerHeight * 0.5f + 0.3f))
        {
            float angle = Vector3.Angle(Vector3.up, slopeHit.normal);
            return angle < maxSlopeAngle && angle != 0;
        }

        return false;
    }

    private Vector3 GetSlopeMoveDirection()
    {
        return Vector3.ProjectOnPlane(moveDirection, slopeHit.normal).normalized;
    }

I am running into an issue where my player jumps on its own when moving upward on a slope. Any ideas? Been working on trying to fix this for like 2 hours and can't think of anything

tame oracle
#

Figured it out, needed to add downward force when moving up a slope if velocity.y was > 0

austere grotto
#

You need to check in your code of the context is being performed or otherwise

#

E.g.
if (ctx.performed) Jump();

#

You neglected to include the callback context parameter

#

You must include the parameter and check it in your code

#

Notice the unity event has a parameter

#

for example:

public void OnJump(InputAction.CallbackContext ctx) {
  if (ctx.performed) {
    // etc...
  }
}```
#

The property you need

#

did what

#

show what you did

#

ok and

#

did you reassign the method in the inspector?

#

also you should put a log statement OUTSIDE the if

#

it's information about the callback

#

ctx is just the name of the variable

#

InputAction.CallbackContext is the type of the variable

#

this is just the basic structure of functions in C#

#

parameters have a type and name (like all variables in C#)

#

ctx.performed is a bool property that tells you if this call is from the action being "performed"

#

as opposed to started or cancelled

#

(which you could also check separately if you were interested)

#

yes

#

You can name it whatever you want

#

if (ctx.canceled)

#

it listens for all of the phases

#

started, performed, canceled

#

your code needs to differentiate

#

hence the if statement

#

If you're using the Hold interaction, sure

#

if you're using the default interaction, no

#

you should almost never be using the Press interaction

#

it's only for when you want to customize the presspoint

#

no

#

But the default interaction does what you normally expect a typical button to do

#

In this particular context you could probably use either one

#

and it will behave the same

#

it would only make a difference when using something like the hold interaction

#

hold interaction will do something like:

  • started when the button is first pressed
  • performed after it's held for the appropriate amount of time
  • canceled when it's released
supple crow
#

oh hey, there's a dedicated chat for this

#

the input system is very neat and I am frightened at the sheer amount of work that must've gone into it, haha

#

been digging through the docs

stark notch
#

Hello, was it possible to use InputValue for 1 frame button press/release?

#

I have this for my float values but i have 2 buttons for gear shifting which just need to be true on pressing

        private void OnSteering(InputValue value)
        {
            _inputSteering = value.Get<float>();
        }
#

Could this be done with the Interactions section on the binding?

stark notch
#

Just got an error and i have no clue what's causing it

Type 'AxisComposite' registered as '1DAxis' (mentioned in '1DAxis(mode=2)') has no public field called 'mode'
UnityEngine.InputSystem.PlayerInput:OnEnable () (at Library/PackageCache/com.unity.inputsystem@1.5.1/InputSystem/Plugins/PlayerInput/PlayerInput.cs:1619)
#

I fixed it by changing axis to any but i don't think that should be how i can fix it

supple crow
#

how is it configured in the input actions asset?

#

it kinda sounds like it tried to configure a 1DAxis like a 2DVector

supple crow
#

I don't remember exactly where InputValue comes up (there are quite a few ways to use actions, haha)

stark notch
supple crow
#

well, is your steering input working right now?

#

if so, you're doing something right :p

stark notch
#

yeah, that is

supple crow
#

how are you triggering it?

stark notch
#

steering is a 1D axis and the inputaction is set up as a value with any

#

I mostly right now just need to get a good setup for the buttons

supple crow
#

as in, how is the PlayerInput component configured?

stark notch
#

ah just setup with the input asset and everything else on default

supple crow
#

okay, so it's set to Send Messages

stark notch
#

yeah

supple crow
#

It looks like you just use zero-argument void-return functions for button inputs

#

although, it sounds like you can still take an InputValue argument for a button input

# 
public class MyPlayerScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    // "jump" action becomes "OnJump" method.

    // If you're not interested in the value from the control that triggers the action, use a method without arguments.
    public void OnJump()
    {
        // your Jump code here
    }

    // If you are interested in the value from the control that triggers an action, you can declare a parameter of type InputValue.
    public void OnMove(InputValue value)
    {
        // Read value from control. The type depends on what type of controls.
        // the action is bound to.
        var v = value.Get<Vector2>();

        // IMPORTANT:
        // The given InputValue is only valid for the duration of the callback. Storing the InputValue references somewhere and calling Get<T>() later does not work correctly.
    }
}
#

the relevant part from the docs

stark notch
#

ah so for me it's public void OnGearUp() and OnGearDown() without inputvalues?

supple crow
#

Right.

#

I think that'll get invoked when the performed state is entered

#

which is what you care about for a button press

stark notch
#

ah i see yeah, so the best way to make that work is a public event then that other scripts can subscribe to

supple crow
#

oh, yeah, if you want to have other scripts get notified when the input happens

#

that's exactly what I'd do

#

one of my games has this horrific global singleton that eats all of the inputs and sends them to whoever the active player is in the scene

#

it's...interesting

#

lol

stark notch
#

yeah, i have it now invoking an event for shifting gears

# 
        public event Action InputGearDown = delegate { };

        private void OnGearDown()
        {
            InputGearDown.Invoke();
        }
supple crow
#

one thing

stark notch
#

this is how it is now

supple crow
#

use InputGearDown?.Invoke()

#

Until someone subscribes to an event, Invoke will spit out a null reference exception

#

?. will only proceed if it's not null

#

you usually don't use the ? operators in Unity because they don't behave correctly for anything that derives from UnityEngine.Object -- Unity pretends that destroyed objects are null, even though they aren't REALLY null references

#

but it's fine here

stark notch
#

I think the delegate should prevent the null errors no?

#

or can it still go wrong

supple crow
#

i just remember running into that, at least

#

ah, I completely missed the assignment of the empty delegate

#

yeah, I guess that'd do the trick

stark notch
#

I don't know too much about delegates actually does it always stay there?

#

like is it basically a subscription technically to the event that never unsubscribes?

supple crow
#

That’s what I’d guess

#

I haven’t actually tried assigning a default value like that

stark notch
#

I only started using it since the open project they did a while back

#

Is it possible to use the Google Place API in the Unity input field?

austere grotto

austere grotto
#

indeed

velvet badge
#

Can someone tell me how to do it?

supple crow
#

i mean, it sounds like you just need to read input from a field, then query the Google Place API

#

(also, this isn't the unity input system you're talking about; this is UI stuff)

im using the "new" input system, looking at this documentation:
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.4/manual/ActionBindings.html
Heading "Multiple input sequences", it says that as an example, Shift-B will override B, but this isnt working for me. Both events fire. Does anyone know how I might have messed up my implementation of this? Both bools im setting evaluate to "true" on the same frame as the B key press happens

You need to turn it on explicitly.

#

ooh right, you have to create that first

#

i figured this out when i was having the exact same problem a few days ago, lol

simple frost
#

yeah i usually use the old system but i figured this time around id give the new one a shot... lots of little quirks but once you understand it, seems pretty good

supple crow
#

it's very neat! I've been liking it

#

It could definitely use another pass on the documentation. I think it's a little too eager to just throw some examples at you

#

which is dangerous when there are like

six ways to use it

#

thats all of unity documentation lol, im so spoiled by living purely in msdn world for so long, unity documentation leaves me so confused more often than not lol

hey, i've been trying to make a fun top-down golf game, and i'm calculating my mouse position to change the orientation of the ball. however, when loading any scene, my game loses focus and my mouse position stops tracking. if anyone can help me, it would be greatly appreciated

supple crow
#

this is not an input-system problem, i don't think

#

I'm not really sure what kind of problem it is

#

Although

#

Maybe you just need to set the cursor lock mode

#

actually, no, confining it wouldn't help with the problem you're describing: i'm not sure why the game would actually go out of focus like that

minor ridge
#

im not sure what problem it is either to be honest. the lock mode just ruins the code checking my mouse position but even if it was that it is weird that it loses focus.

#

i read something on someone else having the problem but i tried to make it work by my script and i ended up getting confused. im gonna link to it right now

Hello all! How can I filter actions? For example I want to make simple touch or click action but I want it to be triggered only in upper half of screen. In other words I want to somehow validate value before any of listeners gets it.

supple crow
#

That sounds a little odd -- I guess you could introduce a custom interaction? But you'd need to feed it the current position of the mouse (since the mouse click action is separate from the mouse position action)

mellow fog
supple crow
#

I do not recognize that.

#

is that a script that you added?

mellow fog
supple crow
#

ah, I guess that it was using a deprecated way of registering the interaction

How would I assign a reference to a specific action, or maybe a specific button in the editor, I want to make a modular button prompt system that can be configured in the editor to respond to a specific action being triggered, what would I do in this case?

InputActionReference will let you refer to an action

austere grotto

Right, but “reference a specific action” makes it sound like they already have an input action asset.

My problem is, that these events are also detected outside game view, is there any possibility to restrict it to only game view? Thank you!

Hoody, Im having a problem where I want my character to be able to look around in midair (and their body able to rotate) but their momentum to remain the same. IE running forward and jumping, looking right but continuing to move forward (while in air).
Ive tried a thing or two, but they generally end up locking the players ability to look around.
Heres the code: https://hastebin.com/share/ididitupit.csharp (mouse system at 120)

Hastebin

Hastebin is a free web-based pastebin service for storing and sharing text and code snippets with anyone. Get started now.

#

Looks like it might be a problem with the way the system determines the position of the player... not just the look script

scarlet rampart
#

line 134 you only turning sidewaýs if you are grounded... I assume looking up and down works even if you are in the air...

wanton rose
#

yeah, that was one of the tests I was talking about. It just locks the cam which doesn't help much

#

I've found that disabling the line at 111 will prevent the characters rotation from affecting its momentum, but it removes any in air movement. (second you hit jump the character bricks and all velocity is lost in all direction except up and down)

scarlet rampart
#

than no idea 🙂

wanton rose
#

thanks for taking a look

supple crow
#

you need to store your velocity in world space, not local space

supple crow
# 
            currentVelocity.x = Mathf.Lerp(currentVelocity.x, inputManager.Move.x * targetSpeed, blendSpeed * Time.fixedDeltaTime);
            currentVelocity.y = Mathf.Lerp(currentVelocity.y, inputManager.Move.y * targetSpeed, blendSpeed * Time.fixedDeltaTime);

First time properly trying to use the input system and I'm really lost. How do I read specific ones? Why the hell does the input system hate it when I try to add the 1D axis into the Vector3?

image.png image.png image.png
austere grotto
#

You'd make one action per... well action

#

You don't read different inputs from a single action

#

Not sure what examples or tutorials you're following, but that's not the way.

supple crow
#

An action represents a logical idea

#

like 'movement' or 'fire the big laser'

#

bindings are different ways to provide input for that action

#

'movement' can get 'mouse delta' and 'left thumbstick'

#

I’m trying to make a double jump script. Is there a way to make press only trigger one frame? Because if I use tap, the character will burn up all of its jumps, but if I use press, it will eat a couple because it’s not frame specific.

supple crow
#

it already triggers only once

#

are you using action.IsPressed() ?

#

you should subscribe to the performed event

#

action.performed += JumpFunction;

analog siren
#

So apparently this should work, maybe you guys can tell me what I broke.

#

Just doesn't work period.

supple crow
#

what if you register for performed?

#

I don't remember what gets fired for value-type actions

analog siren
supple crow
#

pass-through is very similar to value

#

it just changes the rules for dealing with multiple simultaneous active bindings

austere grotto
#

since there's no interactions

#

you will only get performed events

#

and it will happen any time the input actuation changes at all

analog siren
#

Gotcha, I’ll try that, thanks 🙂

It's seams like it's reading it from behind the stick

supple crow
#

ok, but how do you know that the input system is the problem?

#

maybe your code just isn't handling doing both of those things at once correctly

#

you could make sure the inputs are being processed by throwing some log statements in

#

This is ass, can someone give me some insight on how to get access to the value = { phase = moved }

#

its a debug contex from a touch input

#

you would think it would be context.value but it definitely is not.

final flame
#

How can I check when a key is held?

analog siren
#

Notably, context.ReadValueAsObject() returns id=1 phase=Moved pos=(408.16, 1535.63) delta=(5.26, 0.00) pressure=0 radius=(0.00, 0.00) primary=True }

#

Its bizarre, it has a different phase than the regular input system

hey, I am trying to make my first online multiplayer game and am a bit confused. I am using server and client rpc's to make the game but when I run the game on the unity editor itself it doesnt work great. Whenever it is just a bunch of build I have open it works fine so I am curious if that is something to do with unity, or if there is something wrong with my code.

i kinda figured😅 thanks

#

Is there a difference between c# events and unity events when it comes to performance in the input system?

austere grotto
#

That would mean you're subscribing specifically to to the onActionTriggered event on The PlayerInput

gaunt wolf
supple crow
#

Have you tried logging when receiving the performed events?

I stay in Nigeria so light isn't always on

supple crow
#

Ah.

#

Okay, just let me know when you can try it.

Is there a way to set a player to a particular control scheme when using c# wrappers

grave lion
#

Hey uh, I've got an issue with the new input system
Basically I'm using performed and canceled to manage keys that are being held, mainly for moving the character with WASD
When the event is triggered and performed is true, then I trigger my own event "OnDirectionHeld", and whe nthe event is triggered and canceled is true, I strop triggering my own event
(idk if that's a good way to manage keys that are usually held for an indefinite amount of time, like mouse buttons or character movements)

My problem is : for some reason, sometimes, for no particular reason, the input system will stiop detecting keys that are being held, i.e. it will trigger an event with canceled equal to true, despite my finger pressing as hard as it can into my keyboard
There doesn't seem to be any pattern or anything, it feels really random

#

I've read a similar issue with an older version of unity, so I updated to the latest version, but it didn't solve anything u_u I'm sure that it comes from the input system, because i'm logging the contextCallback straight from the function that the event targets

#

That's what my input manager looks like

#

Oh, I'm suspecting that my xbox controller is interfering with it :v By sending uh, "ghost signals" which makes the input manager switch scheme...

#

Welp, found my problem.

supple crow
#

tada

#

although, you had Auto-Switch unchecked...

#

How Can i make with new input system something like "If new touch is registered, cancel last one and use new one"

#

For now I have it, and till player is holding finger, the new input isn;t registered. Sometimes it's make game unpleyable

# 
public void MoveTouch(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
    {
        Vector2 inputValue = context.ReadValue<Vector2>();
        if (context.phase == InputActionPhase.Performed){
            //If touch position is 0 (or not present), stop the player
            playerrb.velocity = new Vector2(0, 0);
            return;
        }
        //Check touch position
        inputValue -= new Vector2(Screen.width/2,0);
        if (inputValue.x > 0){
            //If on the right side of screen, move toward positive x
            playerrb.velocity = new Vector2(1f * movementSpeed, 0);
        }else{
            //Else move toward negative x
            playerrb.velocity = new Vector2(-1f * movementSpeed, 0);
        }
    }```

Hi, I'm having trouble with a user being auto assigned to my controller while it is plugged in when my game is single player, causing some of my player inputs to register with that user and then my keyboard not working with them. Any way to disable that or to switch users for a player input? Thanks!

austere grotto
amber kindle
#

Something like that

austere grotto
#

which means you want enhanced touch support

amber kindle
#

Ok, Im going to read that then

austere grotto
#

otherwise it's likely just going to give you the average finger position or something similarly useless to you

amber kindle
austere grotto
#

it's all irrelevant

amber kindle
#

Ok im retarded, how can i get this

#

thigns like Touch.lastTouch doesn;t work

vapid lily
#

it's not a static field

#

oh hang on thats for old input

amber kindle
# 
public void TouchInput(){
        var fingers = UnityEngine.InputSystem.EnhancedTouch.Touch.activeFingers;
        var lastTouch = fingers[].lastTouch;
    }```
vapid lily
#

Touch.activeTouches gets all the current touches

#

oh or that maybe

amber kindle
#

I have this, and there is error under fingers[].lastTouch

vapid lily
#

well you need to specify an index if it an a array

amber kindle
#

How can i know with index is the last touch 🤔

#

I can;t go straight like fingers.lastTouch

vapid lily
#

well it's more like which finger do you care about

amber kindle
#

So if i put 2 real fingers, unity will recognize it like fingers[0] and fingers[1] yes?

vapid lily
#

yeah

amber kindle
#

eh, so that don;t solve my problem

#

Sometimes player don't take the finger off, before new one land on screen. And i need position for the newest touch

vapid lily
#

going to guess the last finger in that array will be the newest

amber kindle
#

Ok but

#

If i put finger, then its 0, next one is 1,then i take the 0 off the screen ,so the third one will be what?

#

2?

vapid lily
#

no

#

"Each Finger simply corresponds to the Nth touch on the given screen." from the docs

#

so the second finger will always be in [1], third in [2] etc...

amber kindle
#

Okey, so the lenght of array - 1 would be always the last one

vapid lily
#

yeah

#

will error if theres no fingers so test for that before

amber kindle
#

I will take a nap with this info, and try to solve it tomorrow. Thanks for your patient to me and help 🙂

So for some reason, even when I change the interaction, it doesnt take into account whether i tap, hold or release

# 
    private static Vector2 _movement;
    public static Vector2 movementInput { get { return _movement; } set { _movement = value; } }
    private static bool _jump;
    public static bool jumpButton { get { return _jump; } set {_jump = value; } }
    private static bool _crouch;
    public static bool crouchButton { get { return _crouch; } set { _crouch = value; } }
    private static bool _map;
    public static bool mapButton { get { return _map; } set { _map = value; } }
    public void crouchInput(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
    {
        _crouch = context.ReadValueAsButton();
    }
    public void MoveInput(InputAction.CallbackContext context) //movement input
    {
        _movement = context.ReadValue<Vector2>();
    }
    public void JumpInput(InputAction.CallbackContext context) //jump input
    {
        _jump = context.ReadValueAsButton();
    }
    public void MapInput(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
    {
        _map = context.ReadValueAsButton();
    }```
#

how do i make it so that it takes it into account

#

I want it so that map only gets activated if I tap the button

austere grotto
#

e.g. ```cs
if (context.started)

if (context.performed)

if (context.canceled)```

fallen charm
#

I tried doing that but then it toggles rapidly

austere grotto
#

what toggles rapidly

#

and what did you try exactly

fallen charm
austere grotto
#

how am I supposed to know how the map screen interacts with any of this

fallen charm
# 
        {
            _map = context.ReadValueAsButton();
        }```
austere grotto
#

also what's the deal with the static variables etc

austere grotto
#

why not just:

if (context.started) {
  ToggleMap();
}```
fallen charm
#

Oh

#

Damn that tutorial

austere grotto
#

the whole point of using event based input handling is to not have code in Update

#

if you're going to do something in update you might as well just read the input directly there

#

and if you are going to have variables which hold your input state, you need to really think about what they're supposed to represent. Should _map mean "the button is currently pressed"? Or should it mean "the button was pressed this frame"? Or what?

fallen charm
#

So i should have variables for each context?

austere grotto
#

I never said that

#

idk what that even means really

fallen charm
#

I dont know what to do here

austere grotto
#

You start by explaining what you want to do

#

And focus on one thing at a time

fallen charm
#

So im trying to make it so the map screen only shows up if i push the button,

#

press only

#

sort of like a toggle

austere grotto
#

Set up the action as:
Action Type: Button
Interactions: None
Processors: None

Then something like:

    public void MapInput(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
    {
        if (context.performed) ToggleMapUI();
    }``` that's all
fallen charm
# 
        {
            if(isPaused)
            {
                Resume();
            }
            else
            {
                Pause();
            }
        }``` this is in the script that pauses
austere grotto
#

If you do insist on using Update though, you would want a variable that means "the button was pressed this frame" not "the button is currently pressed".

gaunt wolf
austere grotto
#

Which you would easily do as:

    public void MapInput(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
    {
        _map = context.performed;
    }```
#

but I would rename these variables to be a lot clearer if you go that way.

gaunt wolf
#

so it's like i said it reads moving the joystick as a swipe as well so basically one i am holding the joystick, the swipe technically speaking nv ends

#

never*

#

and since there I set a limit to how long u can have ur hand on the screen before it is no longer identified as a swipe, as long as u are using the joystick u pass it and it automatically stops seeing it as a swipe

#

I was thinking if there was a way i can prevent it from reading it into the swipe position if u hold the joystick

#

or better still make a limit to the swipeable area. that will be far more convinient since i only want the middle side of the screen to read the swipe. is there a way i can do it in new input system

#

I've already tried now I'm gassed out. I can't seam to find any documentation on controlling swipe area

#

I thought up an alternative and that is making it another stick instead

#

just like the movement joystick I should be able to use a look Joystick to simulate swiping. moving it up and so on. God of messy this is getting me anywhere

amber kindle
#

What do you think about this touch input? Is there any place for improvements?

    public void TouchInput(){
        //Get all finger touches
        var fingers = UnityEngine.InputSystem.EnhancedTouch.Touch.activeFingers;
        //If there is no touch set veolocity to 0
        if(fingers.Count == 0){
            playerrb.velocity = new Vector2(0, 0);
            return;
        }
        //Get last touch
        var lastTouch = fingers[fingers.Count-1].lastTouch;
        //Get touch position
        Vector2 position = lastTouch.screenPosition;
        //Make the position correct - left side of screen will have negative x
        position -= new Vector2(Screen.width/2,0);
        if (position.x > 0){
            //If on the right side of screen, move toward positive x
            playerrb.velocity = new Vector2(movementSpeed, 0);
        }else{
            //Else move toward negative x
            playerrb.velocity = new Vector2(-movementSpeed, 0);
        }
    }

#

wait guy with this script u store the multiple swipes sperately right?

#

oh i think that solves my problem. I could keep track off each finger and ask for their location while on screen. that's it!! that way only the one in the mid queries swipe direction

#

now i can sleep in peace. I'll try that tomorrow thanks

abstract sparrow
#

i want to make my object move using the joystick inputs on oculus quest 2 (xr origin) and i dont know how to do it
i also want the camera to follow the object

vernal robin
#

hello this is my code

    public void Look(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
    {

        // Vector2 position = Mouse.current.position.ReadValue();

        Vector2 position = context.ReadValue<Vector2>();
        Vector3 pos = new Vector3(position.x, position.y, 0);

        Vector3 worldPosition = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(new Vector3(position.x, position.y, 10.0f));

        Vector3 direction = worldPosition - shootPoint.position;

        float angle1 = Mathf.Atan2(direction.y, direction.x) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;     
        float angle2 = Mathf.Atan2(position.y, position.x) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;


        shootPoint.rotation = Quaternion.AngleAxis(angle1, Vector3.forward);
        shootPoint.position = Player.position + direction.normalized * 0.5f;
    }```
i want the shootpoint to move around the player but for some reason its stuck at one particular position but its stuck at only 1 position what should i be doing ( this is for a 2d game btw )
gaunt wolf
#

fixed

#

perfect as fuck

#

here's what i did

#

UnityEngine.InputSystem.EnhancedTouch.Touch.onFingerDown += ctx =>
onFingerDown(ctx.index, ctx.screenPosition);
UnityEngine.InputSystem.EnhancedTouch.Touch.onFingerUp += ctx =>
onFingerUp(ctx.index, ctx.screenPosition);

#

i used those to take every finger that touched the screen information. then i set it to disregard any on that isn't on the later half of the screen (Only upper right would work) for both axis then once one is on the later half of the screen it starts timing it with a max time of 0.7f, if u release before then then it does everything i originally programmed it to do

#

that is like swipe position up swipe, downswipe blah blah blah

#

i think I've earned myself a drink

turbid apex
#

How do i use a keycode variable

austere grotto
turbid apex
#

Public keycode this;
i wanna use it with
if(keyboard.current.this.isPressed)

#

Does the new input system not have a way to do that in code?

austere grotto
#

KeyCode is for the old system
