[austere grotto]

and what happens?

Does it print?

[glad mirage]

im compiling it rn

running

debug does send

[austere grotto]

ok

keep going

add more logs and see where it stops

e.g. add one inside the raycast if statement next

[glad mirage]

yeah i just did that

compiling and running

[austere grotto]

Also make sure you're not getting any errors in console. (maybe you have errors hidden for example?)

[glad mirage]

confident that I dont, it shows 0
and you are weirdly right, it does stop at the raycast, weird considering the same raycast does do the exact same thing but elsewhere

[austere grotto]

ok now you know where to look next - figure out what's going wrong with the raycast.

[glad mirage]

OK, so what I did was made the raycast thing its own void, and get this
it responds there, but not with the input thing...

[austere grotto]

Inspect / debug all the parameters

[glad mirage]

same code, put the void in the update but now it responds, when I remove the void and make it so that it runs off of the input event, it doesnt respond

[glad mirage]

i copy pasted the code

[austere grotto]

same code sure but the scene is in a different state at those two points

also it could be running on a different object

with different data

[glad mirage]

i put it in the same script

[austere grotto]

dofferent instance of the script is possible

I can't see your project so I don't really know what's going on overall

but same script doesn't guarantee anything

you need to do more debugging

[austere grotto]

Something about the raycast is probably different

[glad mirage]

its kinda not getting into my head, both the raycasts are ditto the same

[verbal stratus]

how would I set up the new input system to detect both mouse clicks and touch screen presses to make a nav mesh agent be able to traverse the navmesh by pressing a target location?

if I use Mouse.current.position will it also work on touchscreens?

[austere grotto]

I'd probably use the event system for this - IPointerClickHandler

[slender vapor]

does anyone know why this doesnt work now😭 😭 😭
script:https://gdl.space/akunimiwom.cs

[supple crow]

you really need to explain what is wrong

"it doesn't work" is borderline meaningless

#854851968446365696

[slender vapor]

it was mainly for PraetorBlue when they got back, since they were helping me earlier, but i realized now i put anyone again sorry, but the menu is still not showing up and the jump is super finicky cause it does not work after the first few play tests and then completely stops working even though i redid the scene

[stiff turret]

Hi guys, does anyone have a good source of information on how I can send an output report to my custom HID device? I've searched online but it's all partially explained solutions and the docs only has a paragraph that doesn't say much

[stable sinew]

If you haven't already, I'd suggest taking a look at the touch samples in the input system package. I think you can figure out your user case from there! Good luck!

[tame oracle]

Do i understand correctly that "Use Physical Keys"in the old input system just means: I give it whatever key i want it to be on my current keyboard and unity will know if someone has a different layout and change the keys accordingly?

[umbral hemlock]

does anyone know how to transfer this code to the new input system

private void MyInput()
{
if (allowButtonHold)
{
shooting = Input.GetButton("Fire1");
}
else
{
shooting = Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1");
}

    if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire2"))
    {
        aiming = true;
    }
    else
    {
        aiming = false;
    }

    if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.R) && bulletsLeft < magazineSize && !reloading)
    {
        Reload();
    }

    //shoot
    if (readyToShoot && shooting && !reloading && bulletsLeft > 0)
    {
        bulletsShot = bulletsPerTap;
        gunShot.Play();
        Shoot();
    }
    else if (shooting && !reloading && bulletsLeft <= 0)
    {
        gunEmpty.Play();
    }
}

[nova quartz]

hey i need help with my input system

i have it so my input controles look like this

one object will take Rotaion , fire , and Acellerate

and the other will take Rotation 1 fire 1 acelerate one

it works when there is one player object

but when there are 2 player objects

only one of them works

i can send the project files if needed

[zinc nest]

    private void Awake()
    {
        playerInputAction = new PlayerInputAction();
    }
    private void OnEnable()
    {
        playerInputAction.Enable();
        playerInputAction.UI.Cancel.performed += OnCancelPerformed;
    }

    private void OnDisable()
    {
        playerInputAction.Disable();
        playerInputAction.UI.Cancel.performed -= OnCancelPerformed;
    }

    private void OnCancelPerformed(InputAction.CallbackContext ctx)
    {
        Debug.Log(gameObject.name + "is cancelling");
    }

Hi, Ive currently got this code. It works, except if I hold the cancel button, it will call this event every frame. Even if I only listen to playerInputAction.UI.Cancel.started it will call the method EVERY frame. Is there a way to stop this? I just want to receive the event once when the button is pushed

Wait I realised something

The cancel event will basically enable/disable other gameobjects for UI functionality, and it seems that if an object is enabled, it will also receive the event

[half pebble]

Why is my button not registering a click despite following this tutorial to the letter?

https://pastebin.com/UYb5n1uu

Tutorial:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqpgJlhtmoo

(Video with my settings)

[rough cave]

so i have an issue with my code (below) where context.started is running twice and causing context.started to not be registered as an input

            inputs["AimingButtonDown"] = context.started; Debug.Log("AimingButtonDown: " + inputs["AimingButtonDown"]);
            inputs["AimingButtonUp"] = context.canceled;
}```

anyone know the solution to this problem

[supple crow]

what do you mean "context.started is running twice"?

context.started is a bool...

[austere grotto]

This isn't a great way to handle input.

Probably the performed phase is happening and tripping you up

[indigo zodiac]

should I use unity events or C# events?

[nova quartz]

Unity

@indigo zodiac

[indigo zodiac]

alright. what's better about it?

[nova quartz]

ok so

I personaly use unity events because i think they are easier and i can make my own events using c# scripts with callback functions

it also utlilses unitys input system well

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pzd8NhcRzVo&ab_channel=Brackeys

[indigo zodiac]

alr thanks i'll check it out

[lost void]

Hello, using the new input system, how could I manually change my device during runtime?

[supple crow]

i'm pretty sure that when you use C# events with the Player Input component, you just subscribe to a single event that gets fired for every single action

Similar to Invoke Unity Events, except that the events are plain C# events available on the PlayerInput API. You cannot configure these from the Inspector. Instead, you have to register callbacks for the events in your scripts.

The following events are available:

onActionTriggered (collective event for all actions on the player)
onDeviceLost
onDeviceRegained

[long escarp]

hey

is it possible to create a 'Zoom Toggle' option that has two inputs:
The left shoulder gamepad button for zoom in (start zooming in when action is performed, end zooming in when action is canceled)

the right shoulder gamepad button for the same but with zooming out

or do I need two actions 'Zoom in toggle' and 'Zoom out toggle'

I tried using a 1d axis and then binding the positive axis to the left shoulder and the negative to the right shoulder

that works fine for triggering (i can read -1 or 1 and know if the ZoomToggle was triggered by zooming in or out)

but on action cancel the values from both the left and right shoulder read 0, so i can no longer distinguish between the two

even with normalization they still return 0 on cancel

[supple crow]

if you want to use a 1D axis, then you'll need to remember which way it was being held

If you need to perform special actions when releasing the shoulder buttons, then I'd say they should be separate actions.

i.e. if letting go of 'zoom in' feels different from letting go of 'zoom out'

hello. i am creating a go kart game. I started out with just controlling gokart and got this problem. I want to brake rear wheels using S key. I dont know if i am doing it right. ```using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class GoKartController : MonoBehaviour
{
public float speed = 10f;
public float turnSpeed = 10f;
public float brakingPower = 500f; // braking power for the rear wheels

public WheelCollider frontLeftWheel;
public WheelCollider frontRightWheel;
public WheelCollider rearLeftWheel;
public WheelCollider rearRightWheel;
public float maxSteeringAngle = 30f;

public Transform centerOfMass;

public Transform frontLeftWheelModel;
public Transform frontRightWheelModel;
public Transform rearLeftWheelModel;
public Transform rearRightWheelModel;

// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
    Rigidbody rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
    rb.centerOfMass = centerOfMass.localPosition;
}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
    float vertical = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical");
    float horizontal = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");

    float motorTorque = vertical * speed;
    float steeringAngle = horizontal * maxSteeringAngle;

    frontLeftWheel.steerAngle = steeringAngle;
    frontRightWheel.steerAngle = steeringAngle;

    rearLeftWheel.motorTorque = motorTorque;
    rearRightWheel.motorTorque = motorTorque;

    // apply brake torque to the rear wheels when the S key is pressed
    float brakeTorque = -Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical") * brakingPower;
    rearLeftWheel.brakeTorque = brakeTorque;
    rearRightWheel.brakeTorque = brakeTorque;
}

[supple crow]

it sounds reasonable, although you should probably check that the resulting torque is greater than zero

otherwise, you'll get negative braking power when holding W

[high yew]

when i press W brake torque is negative value resulting that the gokart is not moving. But pressing S brakepower is positive value resulting in braking

i would like to know how to make the gokart actually move forward

[supple crow]

i'd just clamp the brake torque

torque = Mathf.Max(0, torque);

something like that

[high yew]

where in code? // apply brake torque to the rear wheels when the S key is pressed float brakeTorque = -Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical") * brakingPower; rearLeftWheel.brakeTorque = brakeTorque; rearRightWheel.brakeTorque = brakeTorque;

[supple crow]

after you calculate the torque...

and before you use it

[high yew]

thank you, it works

but now how do i go backwards?

[supple crow]

I guess you should only apply brakes if the car is moving forward

so, set torque to zero if the car's velocity isn't positive

and then, equivalently, holding W should apply brakes if you're going backwards

[frail sedge]

hi all
I'm successfully spawning player prefabs into my game scene after a character select screen (local multiplayer) but currently when the prefabs are spawned, every character is being controller by every controller, i.e. controls aren't linked to the correct contrroller. I'm using the new input system. Do i need to make multiple Input System's for each player, oir is there quick wasy to do this in code?

[austere grotto]

You should use PlayerInputManager and the PlayerInput component

[frail sedge]

My character select screens works with Player Input Manager and Player Input. The characters are selected correctly with multiple controllers and the character choice is saved to PlayerPrefs. The game scene is then loaded and the prefabs and spawned, but then the prefabs are not necessarily being controlled by the correct player

I.e., player1 choose prefabA, but when game scene loads, player1 is controlling prefabB and player2 is controlling prefabA

[bleak hound]

Hi there, I need a basic tip about the new input system.

I'm using the SendMessage behaviour but since it only fires when a button is pressed I cannot detect when that button is released to eventually turn that control's bool to false. Is there a way to fix this problem that is not creating using an opposite control event that is made only on Release?

This is the current workaround I found

Hope there is a better alternative

[austere grotto]

if you use Unity Events instead of SendMessage then you can check the CallbackContext parameter you get

public void MyCallback(InputAction.CallbackContext ctx) {
  if (ctx.started) {

  }
  else if (ctx.performed) {

  }
  else if (ctx.canceled) {

  }
}```

[bleak hound]

Yeah I know but Im basically bound to SendMessage since I need the Player Input to only communicate with the inputManager I made in the same object

[austere grotto]

That doesn't mean you're bound to send message

unity events do the same thing

just assign the callbacks to the input manager instance on the same prefab

[bleak hound]

ok I'll try, maybe I mistaken it with the invoke c# events behaviour

[austere grotto]

all three of them will allow you to do what you want

most people misunderstand what the C# events mode actually does though

I would just ignore that one.

[bleak hound]

I've tried switching to Events, so far I've almost replicated everything but on vector2 inputs I get an issue on turning the value off after the button is pressed, here's the code:

    {
        if (ctx.started)
        {
            Vector2 direction = ctx.ReadValue<Vector2>();

            arrow_left = direction.x < -0.1f ? true : false;
            arrow_right = direction.x > 0.1f ? true : false;
            arrow_down = direction.y < -0.1f ? true : false;
            arrow_up = direction.y > 0.1f ? true : false;
        }
        else if (ctx.performed)
        {
            //
        }
        else if (ctx.canceled)
        {
            arrow_left = false;
            arrow_right = false;
            arrow_down = false;
            arrow_up = false;
        }
    }```

In this case I have a vertical menu and when I press on the bottom arrow it goes straight to the bottom one

I dont think its my code tho, I think I setup something wrong

[tame oracle]

I'm not fully certain, but i did find someone with the same issue and error message on stackoverflow for whom the issue was in the compiling order of unity. Perhaps this can help you: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57680427/c-sharp-cant-find-a-unity-auto-generated-class

The bottom answer is the solution the OP found for the issue.

[misty mist]

I fixed it, it was because I didnt click save asset to apply changes

now I can go back to fixing the original error I was having

jeez

[tame oracle]

haha i mean that happens and it always makes me feel dumb xD but at the end of the day i'd rather have my problem be a one click fix than a full blow refactor lol

[misty mist]

I was honestly thinking about just starting from scratch

now I cant figure this one out

why is it saying mouse position I dont even have that in my code

[tame oracle]

maybe this is the problem? https://stackoverflow.com/a/65027248

@misty mist

[misty mist]

Oh I wasnt on both I was on new input system

Bruh I kept messing with it and now I have like 20 more errors im just gonna call it a day

I tried to add in the mouse pointer position to fix it from saying I was using the old inout system but I couldnt get it to work

[tame oracle]

Ive never tried combining the two. so far i tend to preffer the old system (probably inexperience) so I cant say i know exactly what youre going through rn lol. But google is awesome

[unkempt goblet]

I have two InputActions that are binded to the same button. First is simple press action, second needs to be held for 2 seconds. I need both actions to be active at the same time, but press action is always performed before hold action. How can i solve that, so player can hold button without calling press action?

[tame oracle]

you probably want to check if it is pressed, save that in like a variable. then when the key is nolonger being pressed you can check if it previously was and then do the desired actions.

so for example

if (keybeingpressed) {
     presstimer += Time.deltaTime;
}
else if (presstimer > 0.0f)
{
   presstimer = 0;
   //  run your key actions
}

[austere grotto]

It's from the event system

You have to upgrade the input module on it

[misty mist]

omg ooh I see it now, wtf

you guys are freaking beast

[tame oracle]

tbh i just google everything

why go to oxford when google stole their textbooks

[misty mist]

omg Im getting a new type of error, cant add script

ima google this one, bc its not code related

[misty mist]

I couldnt figure it out, i just bypassed it by adding a new script and copying and pasting

also its doing the thing again wtf

[tame oracle]

what error did adding the script give? I had that happen when the script file name and the class name were not the same (Typo)

[bleak hound]

How can I detect if a controller input gets unplugged? I tried this but its not working

[austere grotto]

this perhaps?
https://docs.unity.cn/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.4/api/UnityEngine.InputSystem.PlayerInputManager.html#UnityEngine_InputSystem_PlayerInputManager_onPlayerLeft

[bleak hound]

yeah probably this, how can I sue this event from the code?

[austere grotto]

Subscribe to it like any other event in C#

[bleak hound]

so I guess I should use OnEnable and OnDisable

nvm thats another thing

[bleak hound]

mhhh...any help?

[supple crow]

eh?

OnEnable and OnDisable are exactly where you'd subscribe to and unsubscribe from an e vent

or is the problem that onPlayerLeft is not appropriate?

[bleak hound]

I would like to use the premade Device Lost Event but is not working, even if I put inside it a simple debug.log and unplug the controller it doest fire the event

So either something is wrong here or I need to find an alternative to get the PlayerInput that disconnected

[mint abyss]

I'm trying to make an interaction that continuously fires performed on the 2nd tap.

I've been trying to modify a copy of the existing MultiTapInteraction, but I keep crashing unity when I hold the 2nd tap. It's also not firing performed repeatedly, only once

Could anyone point me in the right direction?

[austere grotto]

wdym "continuously"? How often? Why?

[mint abyss]

Repeatedly for as long as it is held down

[austere grotto]

you mean... once per second?
Once per frame?

Once per year?

[mint abyss]

each fixed update would be fine

each frame would also work

[austere grotto]

If you want to do things once per second you can use Update or a coroutine
If you want to do things once per fixedupdate you can use FixedUpdate or a coroutine

Coroutine c;

IEnumerator MyCoroutine() {
  while (true) {
    DoSomething();
    yield return new WaitForFixedUpdate();
  }
}

public void OnMyAction(InputAction.CallbackContext ctx) {
  if (ctx.performed) {
    c = StartCoroutine(MyCoroutine());
  }
  else if(ctx.canceled) {
    StopCoroutine(c);
  }
}```
Quick example with a coroutine^

[mint abyss]

I have that part handled, it's getting the interaction to fire performed in the first place correctly that I'm struggling with

[austere grotto]

You said you had it firing the performed event

but you wanted to make it repeat

If you're having trouble making it perform in the first place that's a separate issue

[mint abyss]

https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/InputSystem/blob/develop/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem/InputSystem/Actions/Interactions/MultiTapInteraction.cs

I can use the existing multitap with minor tweaks to fire a performed on the 2nd tap without an issue, that's how it already works. But the interaction won't keep firing performed if I hold it.

In Process() I flipped how the context phases are being handled in the switch so that its doing PerformedAndStayPerformed while held. The issue is it won't re-fire performed

From what you said it sounds like I need to add an OnUpdate and handle firing performed inside there.

[austere grotto]

You have two options:

• do something like what I wrote above
• implement your own custom interaction

[mint abyss]

I am currently implementing my own custom interaciton

Sorry if I hadn't made that cleaerer

[austere grotto]

Yeah but there's a whole timer situation in there that you'd have to change too

[mint abyss]

I have

[austere grotto]

I guess there's a bug in your implementation

[austere grotto]

It's probably a lot easier to just do something outside the input system like this

[mint abyss]

Ok, thanks

Do you happen to know how to have the action not continue with the next interaction assigned to it?

Right now once I release it will suddenly fire the two press interaction events that were held up.

[misty mist]

Does anyone know how to get this to work with the new input system? https://gdl.space/hecifatibu.cs

guys how to make hot key?

nvm found out

[lean topaz]

how do I make an object obey WASD and mouse delta inputs?

the 3D core example is incredibly cryptic, i can't understand what's it doing

[austere grotto]

Depends how you want it to react to those inputs

But basically - make an input action with both of those bindings and use it

[cosmic crane]

Is there a way to check whether my Player Input has any binding overrides?

I have a function to save any binding overrides but I want to check to make sure that it has any before actually loading it in the first place

[austere grotto]

how would you know without loading them? Wouldn't they be stored in some kind of save file?

Check if the file exists, no?

[cosmic crane]

i am setting the string to null on a "New Game", however when my player loads the scene again (after a new game has already been created once) it loads in the keybinds from a different save file.

        public void SaveData(ref GameData data)
        {
                data.keyBinds = playerInput.actions.SaveBindingOverridesAsJson();
        }

        public void LoadData(GameData data)
        {
                if(string.IsNullOrEmpty(data.keyBinds)) { return;}

                playerInput.actions.LoadBindingOverridesFromJson(data.keyBinds);
        }

[austere grotto]

so it looks like you already have a solution to what you asked

[heavy sphinx]

sorry just placed in the wrong place

How can I properly check if a player is scrolling using the new input system?

There is an input axis for scroll wheel. Use that.

I already got it working, but thanks for the reply 🙂

[oblique idol]

I'm in the process of refactoring my code to use the new input system, however I'm a bit confused about something: in each script that uses the input actions asset, do I create a new instance like this?

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

Or should there only be one instance of GameControls that all scripts should share?

I'm asking this because I have a truck in my game and you can switch to a laptop with a different set of input actions. The truck controls all work fine, but in the laptop script none of the callbacks/actions seem to be triggered

So I'm wondering if I should be sharing the GameControls instance?

[austere grotto]

A shared instance has a few benefits:

• Better for performance
• The ability to globally enable / disable action maps

[austere grotto]

multiple instances will work in general - meaning you probably just failed to do something in the laptop script - e.g. enable the instance.

[oblique idol]

Inside the truck script, I can enable the laptop controls and disable the truck controls and toggle the laptop screen on, however performing the same action again, the laptop script doesn’t seem to call the toggle laptop action

[austere grotto]

you'd have to show your code

[oblique idol]

I’m on mobile let me get to my laptop one sec

        _controls.Vehicle.Disable();
    }

    private void OpenLaptop(InputAction.CallbackContext obj)
    {
        _controls.Vehicle.Disable();
        _controls.Laptop.Enable();
        TTXMissionUtil.Instance.ToggleLaptop(obj);
    }    
}

public class TTXMissionUtil : MonoBehaviour
{
    public static TTXMissionUtil Instance;
    
    private void Awake()
    {
        Instance = this;
    }

    private void OnEnable()
    {
        CarInputs._controls.Laptop.ToggleLaptop.performed += ToggleLaptop;
        CarInputs._controls.Laptop.NextScreen.performed += PageRight;
    }

    private void OnDisable()
    {
        CarInputs._controls.Laptop.ToggleLaptop.performed -= ToggleLaptop;
        CarInputs._controls.Laptop.NextScreen.performed -= PageRight;
    }
    
    public void ToggleLaptop(InputAction.CallbackContext obj)
    {
        Debug.Log("ToggleLaptop called");

        if (_state == TTXState.DISABLED)
        {
            // Configure other scripts
            // ...
        }
        else if (_state != TTXState.DISABLED)
        {
            CarInputs._controls.Laptop.Disable();
            CarInputs._controls.Vehicle.Enable();
            
            // Reset other scripts
            ...
        }
    }
}

Those are stripped-down versions of the code

I thought that's what the second-last line in OpenLaptop() does?

[austere grotto]

Uh - sure it is - is that ever running though?

Another potential problem:

    private void OnEnable()
    {
        CarInputs._controls.Laptop.ToggleLaptop.performed += ToggleLaptop;
        CarInputs._controls.Laptop.NextScreen.performed += PageRight;
    }```
You have no guarantee that's going to run before this:
```cs
    private void Awake()
    {
        _controls = new();
    }```

(and if it doesn't you should be seeing a NullReferenceException in your console)

[oblique idol]

Ah yes I'm getting a NullReferenceException on CarInputs._controls.Laptop.ToggleLaptop.performed += ToggleLaptop;

[austere grotto]

yep - you have a script execution order issue

[oblique idol]

Is there a best practice for ensuring scripts execute in a certain order, or ensuring one script is Awake before accessing fields from it?

Even if I create my own instance of _controls it still isn't executed

[austere grotto]

Rule of thumb:

• self contained initialization goes in Awake
• when you need to reach into another object that needs to be initialized when you do - use Start

[oblique idol]

No more NullReferenceException, but nothing happens when I press toggle

Do I need to call SetCallbacks()?

[austere grotto]

no

[oblique idol]

I'm not sure what's going wrong now, here is my new code:

public class CarInputs : MonoBehaviour
{
    public static GameControls _controls;
    
    private void Awake()
    {
        _controls = new();
    }

    private void OnEnable()
    {
        _controls.Vehicle.Handbrake.started += ApplyHandbrake;
        _controls.Vehicle.Handbrake.canceled += ReleaseHandbrake;
        _controls.Vehicle.Enable();
    }
    
    private void OnDisable()
    {
        _controls.Vehicle.Handbrake.started -= ApplyHandbrake;
        _controls.Vehicle.Handbrake.canceled -= ReleaseHandbrake;
        _controls.Vehicle.Disable();
    }    
}

public class TTXMissionUtil : MonoBehaviour
{
    public static TTXMissionUtil Instance;
    public static GameControls _controls;
    
    private void Awake()
    {
        Instance = this;
        _controls = new();
    }

    private void OnEnable()
    {
        CarInputs._controls.Laptop.ToggleLaptop.performed += ToggleLaptop;
        CarInputs._controls.Laptop.NextScreen.performed += PageRight;
        _controls.Vehicle.Laptop.performed += ToggleLaptop;
    }

    private void OnDisable()
    {
        CarInputs._controls.Laptop.ToggleLaptop.performed -= ToggleLaptop;
        CarInputs._controls.Laptop.NextScreen.performed -= PageRight;
        _controls.Vehicle.Laptop.performed -= ToggleLaptop;
    }
    
    public void ToggleLaptop(InputAction.CallbackContext obj)
    {
        Debug.Log("ToggleLaptop called");

        if (_state == TTXState.DISABLED)
        {
            // Configure other scripts
            // ...
        }
        else if (_state != TTXState.DISABLED)
        {
            CarInputs._controls.Laptop.Disable();
            CarInputs._controls.Vehicle.Enable();
            
            // Reset other scripts
            ...
        }
    }
}

[austere grotto]

        CarInputs._controls.Laptop.ToggleLaptop.performed += ToggleLaptop;
        CarInputs._controls.Laptop.NextScreen.performed += PageRight;
        _controls.Vehicle.Laptop.performed += ToggleLaptop;```
Why are you subscribing to actions on both your own instance and the CarInputs instance?

[oblique idol]

Whoops I'm not doing that, sorry I copy and pasted my sections of code wrong

[austere grotto]

and anything you do to CarInputs (e.g. enable/disable action maps) won['t affect your instance

[oblique idol]

Dumb question here… if a game object is already enabled, is OnEnable called when the game first loads?

[austere grotto]

yes

It's called when the object is created and initialized, which happens when the scene loads

[oblique idol]

Hmm in that case I don’t understand why the subscribed events aren’t being called

[austere grotto]

you'd have to show the current code

[oblique idol]

 private void Awake()
    {
        Instance = this;
        _controls = new();
    }

    private void OnEnable()
    {
        
        _controls.Laptop.ToggleLaptop.performed += ToggleLaptop;
        _controls.Laptop.NextScreen.performed += PageRight;
        _controls.Vehicle.Laptop.performed += ToggleLaptop;

    }

 public void ToggleLaptop(InputAction.CallbackContext obj)
    {
        Debug.Log("ToggleLaptop called");
        ...
     }

[austere grotto]

you never called _controls.Enable()

[oblique idol]

Oh, I haven't enabled laptop controls 🤦‍♂️

Sorry I'm being stupid

Okay it all makes sense now, my mental model of how it works is updated, I think I’ll create an input handler so I don’t have to juggle multiple instances

[winged chasm]

any1 got a script for a playerobject (with cameral already attached) that i can use to run / jump and steer the carackter but like the fov changes when sprinting?

how is that possible

[austere grotto]

running, jumping, steering, and FOV zooming are 4 different features.

Work on them one at a time

[cobalt tree]

Can someone help me💀

I don’t know how to solve it, I just want to make my character controller work

[austere grotto]

As it says, your code is using the old input system but you switched your project to the new one

You have to update the code to use the new one or switch the project back

[cobalt tree]

how can I update the code for using it

[polar cosmos]

nvm im stupid

[steady fable]

asking here because maybe input system people know better
Hi, I have a TMP_InputField and I am trying to listen to changes on it ```cs
_searchBar.InputField.onValueChanged.AddListener(delegate { listener(); });

and it gets called whenever I type characters except when I delete the last one.  Why wouldn't it be sending `onValueChanged` when it goes to blank?  It does have a placeholder text.

[lean topaz]

If I have two input functions that rely on the same key, can I make a customizable input system that involves changing the same key that serves those functions?

[lean topaz]

for instance, Player Action "Fire" will shoot when tapping Mouse Key 1, while it also will charge a weapon when Hold in Player Action "Charge Attack"

[lost void]

Hello! With the new input system, is there a way to make sure the device the current player is using stays the same even when a scene switches?

[compact acorn]

with the new input system, is there a way to check when a key is released?

[austere grotto]

Of course

Several ways, depending on how you're handling input currently

[compact acorn]

do i just have a variable set that checks if it was pressed and then the if its not = to that value then i know its been released? Thats what i have been doing but it seems like a really roundabout way to do it

[austere grotto]

not typically, no

again it depends what you're trying to do exactly and it depends how you're currently handling input

If you're using a PlayerInput component in SendMessages mode - that's kinda what you're stuck with, which is why I wouldn't recommend using a PlayerInput in SendMessages mode.

[compact acorn]

im trying to do this if (playerInputActions.Player.SwitchItems.WasReleasedThisFrame) but was relesesed this frame is a method so that doesnt work

[austere grotto]

so... call the method?

if (playerInputActions.Player.SwitchItems.WasReleasedThisFrame())

[compact acorn]

oh yeah right

im so stupid

sorry to trouble you

for some reason i thought u couldnt call methods in if statments

thanks for the help

[austere grotto]

even if this was true (which would be wild):

bool wasReleased = playerInputActions.Player.SwitchItems.WasReleasedThisFrame();
if (wasReleased)```

[compact acorn]

oh yeah right

mb

thanks for the help though

[lost void]

Hello, how would I be able to MANUALLY SAVE the input device to give it to another PLAYER INPUT component?

[finite shale]

Hi, how I can remove this input events? I try "inputActionSprint.performed -= ctx => isSprint = true;", but this doesn't work

[spiral galleon]

make it in to a function instead

you can't remove an anonymous function because it's anonymous. But if you bind a function instead you can remove that function instance.
action.performed += Myfunc
action.performed -= Myfunc

[finite shale]

Thanks 😉

[verbal remnant]

you can also store the anonymous delegate in a variable/field

class Sample
{
    event Action foo;
    Action _handler;

    void Enable()
    {
        var t = DateTime.Now;
        _handler = () => { Debug.Log(t); };
        foo += _handler;
        }

    void Disable()
    {
        foo -= _handler;
    }
}

[supple crow]

is there a specific way to reference an input action map?

I can just do this:

InputActionReference whatever;

// ...

whatever.action.map.Enable();

it's probably fine

i don't expect to have any action maps with 0 actions in them

[austere grotto]

Those are two different instances of the input asset

sounds like you're only rebinding the PlayerInput's copy

[red snow]

oh i see

[austere grotto]

in your code you're using the C# generated class

which will be a totally different input action asset instance

unrelated to the PlayerInput component

[red snow]

thank you that makes sense. i should be able to figure it out

[high osprey]

Does the input system read the left mouse button differently than the right mouse button? I have 2 bools I set for the right mouse button for WasPressedThisFrame and IsPressed, and 1 bool for the left mouse button for WasPressedThisFrame. The right one works fine, but the left one is telling me I can't use a bool for it because its a float?

[austere grotto]

You need to share the code, the error message, and be specific. No the input system doesn't treat them differently. You've made a mistake somewhere.

[high osprey]

Thanks, if I can't get it figured out I will share more. Just wanted to check that it wasn't something weird like that as I didn't see any mistakes. Will take another look through though!

[supple crow]

i'm having a minor crisis: when the heck should i be reading input?

I'm having problems with a juddery-looking camera right now. I'm using the Kinematic Character Controller for movement, which acts on FixedUpdate and then interpolates in each LateUpdate.

My "driver" component reads user input in Update and uses that to update the player's desired velocity and rotation. The character controller then uses these in FixedUpdate to tell the KCC motor what to do.

Perhaps I should be handling user input in FixedUpdate instead? The game definitely looks better when I do that -- if the frame rate is below 50, I get some really nasty jerks when handling it in Update, presumably because Update doesn't run at all in between those two fixed updates

Even when the framerate isn't suffering -- let's say it's a rock-solid 60 -- this still seems weird

Update runs 1.16 times for every FixedUpdate, so sometimes you get two Updates before FixedUpdate runs

which means you get twice as much movement

I thought I had a good handle on all of this, but now that I'm looking at it more closely, all of my assumptions seem bogus

I guess it's only an issue now that I'm doing movement in FixedUpdate; with the vanilla Character Controller, I would always do movement in Update

i'm having a midlife crisis over a joystick

[supple crow]

apparent resolution: everything was ok when put in update -- it's just that rotation should also be done in update https://forum.unity.com/threads/released-kinematic-character-controller.497979/page-25#post-5731675

Which makes sense. The camera needs to rotate every frame.

it feels great now

[tawdry wasp]

I haev this in my Action map to move my camera with where my mouse goes but nothing happens, i'm sure i'm missing a step but unsure what it is i'm doing wrong

[supple crow]

well, just having an action doesn't do anything

how are you using the LookMovement action?

[tawdry wasp]

I guess in that case i'm not, I set it up once before and I think i've forgot a step along the way

[supple crow]

You can use the PlayerInput component to call methods on your components, or you can directly read values from the actions using an InputActionReference

PlayerInput makes things pretty easy

[tawdry wasp]

So in the project I set up with it I know I forgot something, but i'm certain there was no coding involved with mouse look

so maybe I was using InputActionReference?

[supple crow]

you might have been using Cinemachine

the Cinemachine POV aim component can directly read input

[tawdry wasp]

I was using cinemachine now you mention it

yes that was it thankyou

it still doesn't work but I think I might be able to sort it out with that info

[supple crow]

once you have a POV camera, it should have a little info box saying that there's no input provider attached

[tawdry wasp]

ah got it

[mint root]

I have an input action map that won't read any inputs from mouse or keyboard. The buttons always return false. But my inputs work fine in the Input Debugger. And I do have calls to the input class, and I have called activate on the control map im using.

each input always returns false

[austere grotto]

1. How are you checking that they're false?

2. Why not just use a 2d composite instead of 4 actions here?

[heavy cipher]

recommended way to set a flag to ignore all inputs until the input is pressed again (value input)

for example

• hold h (input is now 1)
• set flag (still holding h) (input is now 0)
• release h (still 0)
• press h again (now 1)

maybe have a bool and ignore the input if true? then how would i detect a rising edge (started pressing) to turn the bool off

say a Vector2 value input

in a

public void OnInput(InputValue inputValue)
{
    print(inputValue.Get<Vector2>())
}

or maybe i should have a field tracking the last time OnInput was triggered?

also any way to use the Send Messages behaviour with a InputAction.CallbackContext argument? or do i have to use Invoke Unity Events

[full rose]

guys how do i get rid of input override the others?

i have 2 this

[lean topaz]

In the input system what's the difference between Button With Two Modifiers and Two Modifiers?

[lean topaz]

Also what does Override Modifier Need do?

[tawdry wasp]

When I enter my ship (change cinemachine camera and use my interact button) I get a new error of:

does anyone have experience with this error? I've never seen it before and even google was not so helpful

[full cradle]

Hi. Is there a way to make a "virtual" device? So my problem is that I want to have full control when some action is fired, for example some action is fired when the mouse clicked, but I want to make some more logic to this. I can't modify the source code of the the action it self, so I need to work around this, and that is my idea but I dont know how to do it.

[tame oracle]

maybe it's me but I don't quite understand what you are trying to do.

You want there to happen multiple things when someone clicks a button?

just like tarkov
we have multi view depend on scopes

[lean topaz]

I'm not sure if I understand (since I didn't play tarkov)

[full rose]

if you have 2 scope
and that button will switch between 2 scope view

also i keep change aim state when hit right click tho

I was asking what's the difference between "Button with Two Modifiers" and "Two Modifiers" in Unity

[full rose]

ah

idk too

[full rose]

"Button with Two Modifiers" have 3 parts of binding

[lean topaz]

So does Two Modifiers

[full rose]

1 binding?

[lean topaz]

This is why I am confused since I didn't see a difference between them

so bizarre

now i cant access the method corresponding to the input

i found this but dont know how to do it

i need help

please

[oblique marten]

Does anyone happen to know why my right stick isn't rotating my orbital cinemachine camera? it's using Vector2 in the New Input System same as my mouse and that works fine with the Cinemachine Input Provider component, but the stick doesn't for some reason, even though i've referenced the appropriate action map in the component (not sure if this is Input issue or Cinemachine issue so will post in both)

[austere grotto]

You dragged the script itself instead of the component attached to a GameObject

[graceful hemlock]

I've created a WebGL build using the Starter Assets Third Person Controller. For some reason the mouse input to rotate the camera ends when the mouse pointer hits the border of the screen. In desktop builds, this seems infinite. How can I change that in WebGL?

[prisma quarry]

Good evening. I'm absolutely lost with the new Unity InputSystem. (I'm using version 1.5.0)
I'm performing interactive rebinding, and manually apply a binding override just after it. The override seems to be registered, but the controls doesn't change. (Initial is "Q", but even after changing the binding to "M", it keeps opening with "Q", and "M" does nothing)
It's been a couple of days since I started searching the reason of this problem, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Here are a few lines of code, but I don't think this could help.

PerformInteractiveRebind(action, bindingIndex, allCompositeParts);

action.ApplyBindingOverride(bindingIndex, operation.selectedControl.path);

Thanks! 🙏🏽

Hi guys! 🙂 I want to do a WASD composite that allows me to get the last button pressed, exactly as it is done here: https://forum.unity.com/threads/using-last-key-pressed-in-a-composite-2d-vector.1109609/ the problem is that, with my custom Composite I get the right value but my action callbacks don't get called, so my code never gets notified of the new values...any clue?

[austere grotto]

you'd have to show your code

[simple tendon]

I'm trying to switch action maps, and while I disable and enable them correctly, the newly enabled action map doesn't seem to be working. i.e the actions are not sent to the class that implements it's interface.

[austere grotto]

you'd have to show your code. It's possible you are dealing with multiple instances of your input action asset and not enabling or listening to the correct one

[simple tendon]

    {
        if (!context.performed)
        {
            return;
        }

        _controls.Player.Disable();
        _controls.UI.Enable();

        _uiGameObject.SendMessage("OpenInventoryWindow", SendMessageOptions.RequireReceiver);
    }```

[austere grotto]

this is only a small part of the code

and possibly the least important part.

show the full script

[simple tendon]

it's the part I know is working

[austere grotto]

_controls < where this is defined, assigned, listened to and managed is what we need to know

show the full script and, if you are using the PlayerInput component, the inspector of that as well

[simple tendon]

{
    public InputMaster _controls;
...
 public void OnEnable()
    {
        if (_controls == null)
        {
            _controls = new InputMaster();
            _controls.Player.SetCallbacks(this);
        }

        _controls.Player.Enable();
        _currentScene = SceneManager.GetActiveScene();
    }```

[austere grotto]

ok and where do you set the callbacks for the UI map?

[simple tendon]

it's not using the PlayerInput, someone else set it up initially, now I'm trying to fix it

public class PlayerUiManager : MonoBehaviour, InputMaster.IUIActions

[austere grotto]

that's not setting the callbacks, that's just a class definition for a class which imple,ents the interface

See this?
_controls.Player.SetCallbacks(this);

this actually tells the input system to use your class as the listener for the input events

[simple tendon]

ah

that was what I was missing

thanks

[austere grotto]

you would need to do _controls.UI.SetCallbacks(somePlayerUiManagerInstance);

[simple tendon]

so next question, Should I name my map something other then UI cause I don't want to override all the default Ui actions, but if I remove them from the action map then my EventSystem looks like this:

And while that doesn't seem to be effecting how the game functions, it feels... wrong? lol

[austere grotto]

by default the input module uses a completely separate input action asset

it looks like you've changed it to use your custom one

the name(s) of the action maps don't matter at all really

but you do need to assign your custom actions to the input module if you want it to work

[simple tendon]

so it's fine to leave it on the default if I don't want to override those?

[austere grotto]

sure except if you want to be able to enable/disable that map you will need to reference it properly. The UI map from your generated C# class is not the same

[simple tendon]

I mean basically, the guy who set it up bound the left mouse click to basic attack, to avoid the player attacking while clicking in the inventory we put this in:

    {
        if (EventSystem.current.IsPointerOverGameObject())
        {
            //Debug.Log("pointer over game object");
            return;
        }```

but that results in it being a frame behind which generates a warning and even worse causes visual lags. 

All I'm trying to do by switching to a new action map is get rid of that `IsPointerOverGameObject()` check.

[austere grotto]

I would fix this by getting rid of this code entirely and use the event system for everything

e.g. use IPointerClickHandler on the map or a big invisible UI element behind everything else to run this code

[fossil drift]

The code for my composite is the same as the one in the link...just a small fix to make it compile with a new version...do you want to see any other code?

[silk perch]

Guys, I am having this error and can't find a solution anywhere. Just found some people with the same problem but never answered. This error has no solution?

Could not find active control after binding resolution UnityEngine.InputSystem.OnScreen.OnScreenControl:OnEnable

[austere grotto]

1. What fix did you make?
2. Maybe you copied something incorrectly
3. yes of course - the code that actually handles hooking up and listening to the action

[fossil drift]

1. Just added a public var missing
2. Checked everything several times
3. It is just the method I sent in the original question hooked up to the unity event of the input action
   Is there any way I could control the conditions that trigger these actions? I understand that it happens when the context changes: started/performed/cancelled...do you know about this?

[fossil drift]

All the triggers happen correctly the problem happens when I press left A, then right D for instance, there is no context change thus no event ...but with the first press or any button release any I get the call

[austere grotto]

sounds like it may just be a consequence of the implementation.

As far as I understand - you will get a performed callback any time the magnitude changes to a new greater-than-0 value

since the magnitude is going to stay at 1 with this implementation, you don't get a performed callback

that being said I think it's kind of counterproductive / overcomplicated to use event-based handling for continuous "joystick" style input anyway

just poll the value in Update.

What's simpler?

void Update() {
  Vector2 moveInput = myMovementAction.ReadValue<Vector2>();
  transform.Translate(moveInput * Time.deltaTime * speed);
}

or:

Vector2 moveInput;
void Update() {
  transform.Translate(moveInput * Time.deltaTime * speed);
}

void OnMove(InputAction.CallbackContext ctx) {
  moveInput = ctx.ReadValue<Vector2>();
}```

btw:

It is just the method I sent in the original question hooked up to the unity event of the input action
You didn't send a method, just a link to the "original" implementation

[fossil drift]

yes, I will go for this, polling on the Update...thanks!! sorry I thought I posted the code...my bad

[red linden]

I am using a touch screen on a Windows PC and using the Input.touches - however the fingerId does not change. Only between multiple touches (finger 1 always has fingerId 0, finger 2 id 1 etc). I am expecting the fingerId to change, and increment and be unique for each new touch. I am using LTS 2021.3 - Bug or Feature?

[tame oracle]

Cant someone help me out?
I am having this issue where I have both the pick-up (PickItemsFromSlot) and drop item (DropItemsOnSlot) action both using the same button (LMB) and they are both fired at the same time so it always picks up and right after drops the item on the same frame...
Any obvious way to fix this?

[tame oracle]

Well I guess I "fixed it"/worked around by when opening the inventory the drop/dropsingle actions are set to disabled and then when picking up an item it disables picking up actions and enables dropping actions 😄

[austere grotto]

The right way to do this is to use the event system

E.g.
IPointerClickHandler
IDragHandler
IPointerDownHandler, etc....

[grizzled helm]

Hello....speaking of which, I'm trying to switch over from my (outdated) use of OnMouseDown to the IPointerClickHandler. So I previously I had a GameManager with an OnMouseDown() method that instantiated a house where I clicked the mouse (on a grass background). Now I'm trying to use IPointerClickHandler so it will work for touchscreens too. But it seems in order for OnPointerClick to work, the script needs to be moved onto the grass object (or wherever I'm clicking), and can't be on a GameManager object anymore, correct?

Is there a way to keep IPointerClickHandler on the Game Manager object script?

[potent ridge]

i type touch into the new input binding search, theres so many things that all look the same, is there like a chart or something for bindings?

[sly oak]

Hello,

I have been working with unity's new input system since few days and have managed to wrap my head around it. It is easy add controls for gamepad and keyboard but Im confused about touch controls. The OnScreenButton and OnScreenJoystick are useful stuff but are feasible only when your touch control count/types matches the count of physical device. i.e. two joystick and 16 buttons. My on-screen layout is similar to type mobile MOBA game where atk buttons are hybrid of button and sticks.

I'm also tracking the device from which last input was sent so I can update UI accordingly via InputSystem.onActionChange. OnScreenControls, as they emulate the input of the path they are assigned, shows the set device instead of reporting it as touchScreen control. I.e Gamepad if OnScreenControl points to gamepad and keyboard if it points to keyboard.

So I decided to make a custom input device which maps the controls according to my need.
which takes input from a custom made 'Joystick' which is placed on UI Canvas. This allows me to have any number of joysticks and also easily lets me identify as only touch controls are mapped to this device and everything works great.I have attached code if anyone have any suggestions there I would love to know.

Questions:

1. Is this the right way ? Is there any other way to handle custom layouts ?
2. The custom joystick listens via IPointerDownHandler,IPointerDragHandler and IPointerUpHandler. and the ThreeAxisJoystick access them via singleton 'GameplayView' and reads their value in 'OnUpdate' and Queues the state. This feels hacky since in sample the 'keyboard' low level api class. There is also a TouchScreenClass but Im unable to make sense out of it so if there is any way I can use that it would be great.
3. If in entirety any other better solution or premade solution is present which covers all usecases Im happy to hear.

Thanks and Regards.

[austere grotto]

OnMouseDown has the same limitation

IPointerDownHandler (not ClickHandler) is the equivalent, and is a bit more flexible

it has to be on the object being clicked. You can put it on an invisible background ui object or on an invisible plane object. You can also make a custom raycaster and use Plane.Raycast to have a completely GameObject-free experience.

[grizzled helm]

Thank you for your response, @austere grotto !

[river sapphire]

If with pressed key (wasd for example) switch focus from unity to other element in browser(webgl), then the key will be pressed if it is physically released by user. How to fi this or is there any workarounds for this problem ?

[lean topaz]

there are USB controllers that uses the Playstation layout and some that uses the XBOX layout right?
how does the Input System differentiate that?

[austere grotto]

It just uses generic terms like "left joystick" "right joystick" "button south" "button north" etc and makes reasonable default guesses. And as a last resort, it supports runtime rebinding in case someone's gamepad is just funky or whatever.

[lean topaz]

so if I mapped my Input Controls with an XBOX patterned controller (where the left joy is on top of the D-pad) for say directional movement, if somebody used a PS patterned controller (D-pad over left joy) Unity will automatically guess the D-Pad input as the left joy and perform directional movements?

or the player will still need to use the left joy on PS controller?

[sly oak]

Ps dpad will perform directional operations. Thats the essence of input system compared to legacy where axis mapping were hardcoded

[lean topaz]

ah

so i don't have to do anything specific then

thanks

[supple crow]

I'm using the new input system. I'm not getting D-pad input in the UI on my Steam Deck. My EventSystem is using the default input action asset.

maybe I should try explicitly adding a d-pad action for my gameplay action asset and seeing if that shows up...

[austere grotto]

I would also try using the input debugger and see if and how it's getting picked up

[supple crow]

Difficult part: this is strictly on my steam deck

[austere grotto]

ahhh I see

[austere grotto]

this might be useful?
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.5/manual/Debugging.html#inputcontrolvisualizer

[supple crow]

I did check that d-pad input is working in game

i'm also having a related Very Weird Issue #📲┃ui-ux message

tl;dr unity is not respecting my navigation settings

i don't think i'm getting errored out while setting up that navigation (these menus are procedurally generated)

i checked that it also happens with keyboard input

i wonder if there is any relation

oh you know what

man this is weird

when using the d-pad, I think the selection is somehow moving to a menu that shouldn't even be active

i start with the "Scene Select" menu button highlighted; if I hit down on the d-pad seven times (corresponding to six scenes), my selection moves down by one

but only when using the d-pad, and only on my steam deck

🫠

the top-level menu uses automatic navigation

maybe i'll try connecting my xbox controller to the steam deck...

oh my god

so with the xbox controller, the d-pad navigates as expected

but it still navigates wrongly as described in that link above

I guess that's reasonable, actually, since THAT issue happens with the joystick too

Steam must be doing something funny with the d-pad input.

[supple crow]

this could help with that

[supple crow]

monitoring the currently-selected object (according to EventSystem) indicates that the selection isn't actually wandering off to other places.

god this is weird

[austere grotto]

steam sometimes does some weird joystick emulation stuff

[supple crow]

i'm wondering if it's trying to be clever

the input config says it's just a "Standard D-pad"

the input visualizer does show normal-looking behavior there

[austere grotto]

weird

[supple crow]

maybe I'll try rebuilding the D-pad out of a 2D composite instead of just being a d-pad

that'd be so bloody weird if that did anything

it IS the only one that's not a 2D composite.....

Same problem.

gonna see if it behaves the same with the Windows build under Proton

I did make sure that it's not just moving the mouse cursor around

Works fine!

[supple crow]

the Other Problem remains. go figure.

well

in the meantime

i think i'm just going to say "don't use the d-pad"

[simple tendon]

I feel like I've missed something, when you set up a binding in the Inputmaster and then go to where the interface is, all it passes in is the InputAction.CallbackContext, but say that it the binding was for Shift + LeftClick, how am I supposed to know what GameObject was actually clicked on?

[burnt oasis]

I have 2 players in the scene both with PlayerInput component attached to them and a separate InputActionAsset

I want each player to be able to use a side of the same keyboard or a keyboard with a controller
the controller is fine, but the keyboard, only one player is receiving an input, the other is not

how to make both players receive input from the same keyboard?

[wet osprey]

Hello. To display the binding of the button, I use _bindingText.text = _inputAction.GetBindingDisplayString(); If I have a non-English keyboard layout, then my text displays in a different language. How to display text always in English?

[austere grotto]

Wouldn't you want the text to display in the same language as your keyboard?

[wet osprey]

It seems to me that English language is necessary for bindings

[echo relic]

you can set the input action's shortDisplayName if I remember correctly

[topaz sapphire]

I'm having trouble. I have Pause set as an action, and I have it set up the exact same way as the Interact action, in my code, but for some reason, it never fires the PauseButtonPressed function, but it still fires the InteractButtonPressed function. Can anyone here help?

https://pastebin.com/WJiLQjKK

[topaz sapphire]

Nevermind, I figured it out. Adding the callback in code didn't work, and Unity wouldn't let me assign a callback in the Input Action Asset, and eventually, I discovered (rediscovered) that the Player Input component has its OWN dropdown menu for adding Callbacks to input actions...

[burnt oasis]

the input was choosing keyboard for a player and gamepad for the other
all I needed to do is in the code force both PlayerInput components to switch to the keyboard schema

[spice pecan]

Hi, when I rebind controls with rebindOperation.WithCancelingThrough("<Keyboard>/escape");, when assigning to an action that expects a keyboard input, the input gets suppressed (pressing escape only cancels the rebind, but doesn't drop you out of the control remap screen). However, when I assign to an action that expects a gamepad input, "escape" doesn't get suppressed, it cancels the rebind operation, but it also lets escape through, dropping you out of the control remap screen. Thoughts?

[spice pecan]

solved by disabling all of the enabled actions when the rebind operation is running

[austere grotto]

You never hooked up your functions to the PlayerInput instance nor any input action assets in this code. Setting it up in the inspector for PlayerInput is indeed one valid approach.

[grave lion]

Hey uh, that's probably a really common question, but I didn't find much that corresponded to my problem when browsing here, so here I am
How do you manage whether an event is targeting a UI element, or the game itself ?
In my case, I use left click to select a tile on a map. I've got buttons at the top of the screen, and clicking on them doesn't prevent the event from propagating to the rest of the scene. So my click will select the tile that's behind the button

[austere grotto]

If you use the event system for everything, UI elements will block clicks on stuff behind them

If you're doing your own manual raycasting, all bets are off

[topaz sapphire]

I tried setting it up in the code, but it didn't seem to work, so I used the PlayerInput inspector

[lean topaz]

What happens if I hook a Hotas to the PC and use input system?

Do I need specific setups for it?

[grave lion]

Well it doesn't, and I'm not raycasting anything
I use Unity events, and my own input action map. Whenever a user event occurs, it gets routed to a class that then dispatchs the event, and that's about it
Is the UI also supposed to block unity events from being triggered ? Currently it doesn't, and I don't know if I misconfigured something, or if I'm supposed to check by myself if the event should be propagated to the scene, and not only the UI u_u

[grave lion]

Changing the behaviour to Send message doesn't seem to have any effect :v

And apparently, using isPointerOverGameObject() isn't a good idea in this case :

Welp, that seems to be the way to go, despite having warnings :l
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.1/manual/UISupport.html#ui-and-game-input

[grave lion]

Welp, it works

[reef gazelle]

Hey, can someone tell me how I check if the pressed key was a .GetKeyDOWN event? I dont want it to register "held" buttons
private void OnGUI() { //Get what button was pressed and save it Event e = Event.current; if (!e.isKey) return; KeyCode pressedButton = e.keyCode; }

found it, its
if(e.type == EventType.KeyDown)

[austere grotto]

This is your PlayerInput component

When I say the event system I'm talking about things like IPointerClickHandler, IPointerEnterHandler etc

Or the Event Trigger component

What you have right now is input handling code which is separate

[austere grotto]

No you're not using the event system here at all

[violet hazel]

UnityEngine.InputSystem.InputManager is internal, not public. Your code is trying to use that. Are you sure it's not supposed to be PlayerInputManager?

[vagrant knoll]

Its player input manager

[violet hazel]

It says public InputManager inputManager on line 12 there, not PlayerInputManager

[vagrant knoll]

Fixed

[worn willow]

how do you get the value of the z key from an action input to play an animation and the value of the s key to play another animation in a code?

[austere grotto]

Just set those keys up as bindings to the actions

[spare gorge]

I'm using a smol bit of code to try to register a callback to an event. Though the value is just being printed as zero and I'm not entirely sure why it doesn't change from zero. I don't think I have the control setup right, but I have it setup as a regular button in the input manager, as they do in the example where I found this bit of context.duration code (the unity docs where they talk about .CallbackContext) but it doesn't seem to work. any thoughts?

        private void OnEnable()
        {
            shootRef.action.canceled += context =>
            {
                shootPower = context.duration * 10.0f;
                Debug.Log(shootPower);
            };
        }

I also tried shootRef.action.perfomed but it seems to call when you hit the button, rather then when you release it.

[distant crescent]

Hey! I'm trying to deploy a WebGL game but my PlayerInput module on the title screen isn't receiving input from my controller. Anybody have a problem with this?

[distant crescent]

There are other points in the game where the module is working fine, just not on the title screen when the game first loads.

[worn willow]

How i do it on the code ?

[austere grotto]

You don't

It's done in your input actions asset

These are the basics of the input system

[worn willow]

but when I press z it plays the walk animation but also the q, s and d keys except that I would like s to play the walkback animation

[austere grotto]

It does whatever your code tells it to do

[worn willow]

so I'm trying to figure out how to say in my code z = walk and s = walkback

[austere grotto]

Don't worry about the keys

That's just a binding

You need to worry more about the input value

Hard to say without seeing your code

But usually something like:
if(input.y < 0)

[worn willow]

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.InputSystem;
using UnityEngine.InputSystem.Interactions;

public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] private PlayerInput PlayerInput;
    Animator animator;
    private PlayerControlls PlayerInputActions;
    private InputActionMap _currentMap;

        _moveAction = _currentMap.FindAction("Move");
        _runAction  = _currentMap.FindAction("Run");

        _moveAction.performed += onMove;
        _runAction.performed += onRun;

        _moveAction.canceled += onMoveCanceled;
        _runAction.canceled += onRunCanceled;
    }

    private void OnEnable()
    {
        _currentMap.Enable();
        _moveAction = PlayerInputActions.Player.Move;
    }

    private void OnDisable()
    {
        _currentMap.Disable();
    }

    void Start()
    {
        animator = GetComponent<Animator>();
    }

    private void onMove(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
    {
        Move = context.ReadValue<Vector2>();
        animator.SetBool("isWalking", true);
    }

    private void onMoveCanceled(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
    {
        Move = Vector2.zero;
        animator.SetBool("isWalking", false);
    }

    private void onRun(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
    {
        Run = context.ReadValueAsButton();
        animator.SetBool("isRunning", true);
    }

    private void onRunCanceled(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
    {
        Run = false;
        animator.SetBool("isRunning", false);
    }
}```

[austere grotto]

Yeah just if (Move.y < 0) then you know it's going backwards

[worn willow]

ok so up = 1, down = 0 and right and left ?

[austere grotto]

Down is -1

Right and left are the x component

[worn willow]

ok

[worn willow]

i do that but just the isWalking works

private void onMove(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
    {
        Move = context.ReadValue<Vector2>();
        if(Move.y > 0)
        {
            animator.SetBool("isWalking", true);
        }
        if(Move.y > -1)
        {
            animator.SetBool("isWalkingBack", true);
        }
    }```

[austere grotto]

You didn't do what I said

Read your code

It doesn't make sense

[austere grotto]

This is what I suggested

[worn willow]

if(Move.y < 0) is for S not for Z

[austere grotto]

it all depends how you bound your controls to the action

I am not privy to that information since you haven't shared it 🤷‍♂️

This is a plugin for a vr game that is on legacy input system

[austere grotto]

You have a mouse position in a VR game? Also mouse position doesn't seem appropriate for something called "mouse movement"

[snow kraken]

I need movement but im just trying to get it to work like this and i can figure it out later

[austere grotto]

Can you explain the mouse position in a VR game thing?

[tall sonnet]

who knows how to add unity to a game and use unity and is willing to help me make a goril tag fan game named crazy apes

[austere grotto]

btw Mouse.current.position.ReadValue().y is the NEW input system

if the game is using the legacy input system as you said, it won't work

[snow kraken]

Is it?

[austere grotto]

yes...

everything in UnityEngine.InputSystem is the new system

[snow kraken]

Well idek but its on the correct system

The other one threw errors

Can you not get mouse position on a vr game if you move it on desktop view?

[limber axle]

Very simple question. I'm getting frustrated with the input system manager. This thing is so frustrating, it is insane.

I don't want any prefab whenever I detect an input for someone new, but can't disable it. Now, I can deal with it. I want to create my own object via a list generated through another pattern, and the only thing I'm interested in is the new input from a new player.

I'm trying to transfert the input from the prefab created to the new one. but everytime I do that, it takes that as a new player joining AGAIN so I end up with an infinite loop. Why would every single input be a new player, that's stupid. is there a way to transfert the input from one to another without triggering OnPlayerJoined every single times?

[austere grotto]

just disconnect the concept of a "player" from an actual character or avatar or whatever in your game.

a player is, basically, an active input device in this context.

[limber axle]

it's not but I need this input to be on my other prefab that is generated though another means (basically MVM pattern with my list of player auto-populating these prefab.). I want to pass only the input info in my player list, and then initialize the real PlayerInput on the correct prefab (and begone the auto-generated one I don't want).

I've tried a lot of combination by disabling stuff and activating other ot try and deactivate this hell behavior of checking for any PLayerInput component that appears in the scene.

Is there any other method to detect any controller hitting a button or something that isn't using PlayerInputManager?

I just want the detection, and then get the info for the device and scheme so I can set it manually. while still using the new input system.

[austere grotto]

and then initialize the real PlayerInput on the correct prefab
You're fighting against the system. Just work with the system. Set things up such that the input events are redirected to or simply listened to by your "correct prefab" when it is spawned.

[limber axle]

I'll find a way but this system is so inflexible, forcing us into a corner. Even if I leave the auto-generated prefab as it is and just move it wherever, it can't be a parent of the correct prefab, which it needs to in order to get the event broadcast. I'll go the ugly route and set it up like I am forced to I guess.

I wish there was just a simple event to listen to "Whatever" the PIM is listening to to get new input detection and let me do whatever I want with it. Simple and flexible. button input --> event --> DeviceId (or whatever let us get the info --> Create a PlayerInput however you wish to do so.

[snow kraken]

Still didnt get an answer

[snow kraken]

does Gamepad.current.leftStick.ReadValue().y; get vr controller input too? (quest 2 pcvr)

[remote root]

Could someone explain me the comment or give me a code example for that? I think maybe its my problem.
Its from Unity Website in the ActionsAsset and PlayerInput Components Workflow, https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.6/manual/Workflow-PlayerInput.html .

    public void Update()
    {
        // to use the Vector2 value from the "move" action each
        // frame, use the "moveAmount" variable here.
    }

@austere grotto I think it describes how I could use the MoveAmount Vector2 with Move() Input, but I since I'm new I can’t imagine how this should look like^^

[austere grotto]

It's just telling you that variable has the input data in it

It could look like... whatever you want

Because your game is unique

I can't tell you anything about how to use the data because I have no idea what you want to do with it

[remote root]

Okay thanks for your feedback, I will add some more informations to ask a better question!:)

[sly oak]

Check in input debugger weather your device gets mapped to any existing ones (incase it emulates native input) or it recognises as seperate device.
Then proceed to modifying inputActions accordingly and use ‘yourinputaction’.performed or ‘yourinputaction’.ReadValue() according to input type.

That will save you a lot of headaches.

[snow kraken]

I just went with vr joystick

[slender vapor]

Hey, I need help understanding why this doesn't work how i want it, when i play my scene, i cant jump nor will my ui work, https://gdl.space/wecinitofo.cs.

[grave lion]

I mean, the whole system is working fairly nice on its own, but you shouldn't expect to take only a part of it and make it work like a charm
You should really consider using it as it is, and adapt your code on top of it
Either that, or create your own system, because fiddling with it will eventuallt cause bigger problems afterhand

[polar cosmos]

You dont check for isgrounded at all and that whole => Physics.Raycast(new Vector2(transform.position.x, transform.position.y + 2.0f), Vector3.down, 2.0f); belongs in FixedUpdate or Update.

the code probably fails there and thats why the ui doesnt work aswell

[latent shard]

Hey folks, has anyone noticed any issues with events not being carried through the system properly when using PlayerInput?

I have the following control scheme for a painting-based game:
BrushStroke - bound to Position [Mouse]
StartPainting - bound to <Mouse>/leftButton

Previously I was directly instantiating my GameInputActions class in the Start event and binding handlers with .performed += performedHandler, .started += startedHandler, .canceled += canceledHandler, etc, but I wanted to centralize handling and PlayerInput seems like a mostly good option. However the binding is different, and it seems like some of the events behave differently in PlayerInput than they do when using the InputActionsAsset directly

My mouse is moving as I expect, but I'm using a second component to detect specific shapes, and those shapes aren't being recognized when using PlayerInput

[latent shard]

Found my problem - it's a bit trickier to manage state with these functions, and I didn't have my previous/new state filters set up right. Easy fix, once I found it.

Would be nice if the generated InputActionAsset wrappers could be exposed to the editor, but I spose that's the price we pay for convenience.

[worn edge]

how to check if i touch the screen or i swipe the screen ? I want to call a fonction only if it is a tap on the screen but i don't know how to do that. Help me pls (Mobile app)

[split bear]

I want to have a button input that returns true while held and false when released, but has to be held for a short period to activate (I want a different function to occur when the player simply taps the button). How can I set this up?
I currently have a standard 'press and release' interaction that activates instantly, but when I add a 'hold' interaction it doesn't return false when released from a hold. When I tap it, it does return false when released, but doesn't return true when pressed.
How would I accomplish this?

[split bear]

Okay I figured out how to make the hold also register a release, by changing the action type from 'Button' to 'Value' (and also setting the 'press' interaction to 'Release Only').

I wanted to make the quick tap be part of a composite for an axis input, but I tried it as its own action and it works better. Although when I do tap it it makes the first action (the one you hold) return false exactly 3 times

[split bear]

The two actions as they are currently, in case my explanation wasn't clear

[grizzled topaz]

how do I compare input control ?, I'm trying to make hotkey for inventory item and through CallbackContext I see the key being pressed under control

or how do I do this actually, tutorials covers setting up keybinds to actions but i dont want to make action for every item slot

[weary lintel]

hoping someone can help. using the new input system, I have made my own input reader script, (so not using PlayerInputs). But I need to check what device/control scheme is being used to trigger an input (a vector2). playerinputs has "currentControlScheme", but I can't figure out what i need to have something similar. For clarity, I have a gamepad joystick and a mousedelta feeding a vector2 action, and i need to run two different types of functions depending on if it's the joystick or the mouse. I have a bool ready to go I just don't know how to read the input to determine which one fed the action

[sly oak]

One way to go would be to fetch the result from actionChange callback,
Its a hacky solution but Ig it qualifies by a bit for a private member for your input reader, and you can simply then feed the result to the bool ?

eg:
void OnEnable()
{
ToggleInputMethodChangeLister(true);
}

    void OnDisable()
    {
        ToggleInputMethodChangeLister(false);
    }
    
     private void ToggleInputMethodChangeLister(bool register) 
    {
        if(register)
            InputSystem.onActionChange += InputSystem_onActionChange;
        else
            InputSystem.onActionChange -= InputSystem_onActionChange;
    }
    
     private void InputSystem_onActionChange(object actionObject, InputActionChange actionStatus)
    {
        InputDevice lastDevice = (actionObject as InputAction)?.activeControl?.device;
        if (lastDevice == null)
            return;

      Debug.Log($"{lastDevice.name}");
        
    }

I use this to switch between different UI layouts at runtime, from gamepad to keyboard to touch etc.

[lavish bluff]

How would you do multiplayer UI navigation where you need all players to use the same set of buttons

Like a character select screen in a fighting game

I know you can have separate UIs for each player with MultiplayerEventSystem, but this is different

[weary lintel]

Thanks heaps for the reply, really clear and provided the example i needed! I ended up with ``` private void InputSystem_onActionChange(object actionObject, InputActionChange actionStatus)
{
InputDevice lastDevice = (actionObject as InputAction)?.activeControl?.device;
if (lastDevice.name == "Keyboard" || lastDevice.name == "Mouse")
{
Debug.Log(true);
isUsingKeyboard = true;
}
else
{
Debug.Log(false);
isUsingKeyboard = false;
}

    if (lastDevice == null)
        return;
  
}```

Which seems to do the trick. Yeah I had no idea about that call from the inputsystem directly, but seems to work, cheers for that!

[weary lintel]

ok so it was working earlier, now it seems to not be lol. i will restart unity and see if that helps.

hmm, in the end I had to just add the player input and use the "currentControlScheme" to make it work smoothly. I might revisit later to figure out what is going on

[radiant mica]

Why is it that when i play my game on mobile, a different button gets pressed when i touch the screen than the one i touch on

[gaunt vapor]

My on-screen touch joystick keeps stuttering on Android, but it works fine in the simulator in Unity.

I printed the control scheme and devices, and I noticed that the devices seem to be rapidly switching when using the on-screen joystick.

They switches between "Touchscreen:/Touchscreen, AndroidJoystick:/AndroidJoystick" and "Touchscreen:/Touchscreen1, Joystick:/Joystick".

The scheme remains consistent (Touch).

[gaunt vapor]

And here are the devices in the Input Debugger

[hasty shadow]

Hey, not sure if this is a Input System problem itself but I have this plugin in our project, which is super important and we can't get rid of it. But I need to rewrite the input code in there. However, when I do using UnityEngine.InputSystem, Rider says that it cannot resolve symbol 'InputSystem' and I'm not really sure how to solve this problem

[austere grotto]

Most likely your plugin has an assembly definition and you'll need to add a reference to the input system assembly in that assembly definition

[hasty shadow]

you mean in one of those?

no wait in the plugin, oops

okay, got it now. thanks for the help!!!

[grizzled topaz]

do I really need to unsubscribe everytime I switched map ?, if player accessed enabled UIMap and I disable PlayerMap for that moment so the player cant move, re-subscribing seems like a hassle

tutorials i saw unsubscribe, so i guess its good practice afterall ?

[austere grotto]

No need to unsubscribe when disabling an action map.

Only unsubscribe when the subscriber is being disabled or destroyed

[fallen charm]

So im trying to make it so you simply tap the button but for some reason even holding triggers it

    {
        _jump = context.action.WasPressedThisFrame();
    }```

[split coyote]

does anybody know how when using Primary Touch/Touch Contact? I can avoid detecting touch if using OnScreenStick or OnScreenButton?

[tame oracle]

Hello, i want to ask why touch not working in production but working in development. In development, the touch is registered and out the touch pos, but when in production, i build into aab and upload it in internal test and try download it and play, but the touch not register and there is no output.

[neat compass]

Hey there, I've got my generic movement setup on the left hand side, and on the right hand side I am trying to detect if the user is a Controller or Keyboard & Mouse.
When I start the game if I have them both in the scene, they seem to cancel each other out, what am I doing wrong here?

[austere grotto]

Who knows. Wdym by having them in the scene? Wdym by canceling out? These are assets. They're never directly in the scene

Also the input system has a whole control scheme system you can and should be using

[sterile citrus]

I have the most simple project set up possible: an otherwise empty project, a Canvas with a Button that does nothing, with an EventSystem on a separate GameObject using the new InputSystemUIInputModule. In the editor I can press the button and it's onClick event will be invoked. In a build the button will be pressed down (I can see the transition animation change its color) but it will not go back up when I lift my finger (it stays in the pressed state) and the onClick callback is not triggered.

Is there something obvious I'm missing? This is basically a Hello World project with the new Input System, I'm not sure what I could be doing wrong...

EDIT: If I use the Standalone Input Module, it works. If I use the suggested InputSystemUIInputModule, it is broken. Looks like a Unity bug, not sure how anyone is using this package at all.

[austere grotto]

show screenshots of your input module, event system, etc inspectors

[sterile citrus]

It is exactly how I described it (this is the broken setup)

InputActions are the DefaultInputActions in the package

[austere grotto]

what is your Active Input Handling set to in project settings?

[sterile citrus]

It is set to use the new input system package

EDIT: one other setting I've changed is that I have set my target architecture to ARM64 and enabled il2cpp (ARMv7 w/ mono is not compatible with my device). Unity 2022.3.0f1 LTS InputSystem 1.5.1

Is there an up to date example project that proves this package even works? Warriors hasn't been updated for 3 years

[austere grotto]

the input system package works fine

not really sure what's going on with your situation

you sure it's a problabm of the event not being invoked and not something else?

[sterile citrus]

I'll submit a unity bug. Might be the new LTS for all I know. I have gotten it to work in the past

[austere grotto]

If the color transitioning is happen then I'd say the input module is working

maybe a touch bug

if it's not going back when you lift finger

[sterile citrus]

Yeah the color transition happens, but just the press, not the "up" (so it gets stuck in the pressed state)

[austere grotto]

what hardware are you testing on

[sterile citrus]

Google pixel 7a and my windows desktop

[austere grotto]

Ah I also have the 7a. horrible battery life 😢

[remote slate]

Hi!!!!

Guys is there a way to create a combo with the action mappings like street figther? for example:

[sterile citrus]

Afaik you would be better off coding your own solution for this. You can require another button to be held down at the same time (press A and Y to do an action) to trigger the event you want (via modifiers) but you can't encode a sequence (A then Y). Maybe this is something they're working on?

[remote slate]

I think the point of the inputs system is to make this kind of behaviours

[sterile citrus]

No the point is to handle lots of different input methods (controllers, keyboards, etc) and map them to the same actions.

[remote slate]

but hap happens in this case that you need a combo, does the input system helps at all?

i dont know how to call the actions, combo1_step_1, combo1_step_2 ?

or i will need to use the input manager?

because the are no conditions to eneable or disable combo1_step_2

am I wrong?

I guess at the end you have to go back to the input manager

[austere grotto]

yep make a state machine to recognize the input sequences

[austere grotto]

no the input system will not handle fighting game input combos

[austere grotto]

more like:
"light punch", "medium punch" etc

as in:

Square (X) – Light Punch
Triangle (Y) – Medium Punch
Cross (A) – Light Kick
Circle (B) – Medium Punch
R1 (RB) – Heavy Punch
R2 (RT) – Heavy Kick
L1 (LB) – Medium Punch + Medium Kick (Drive Parry)
L2 (LT) – Light Punch + Light Kick (Throw)```

[remote slate]

yes i understand the modifiers

how would you make a combo? i never worked with state machines, it sounds like something a will like

[austere grotto]

This might be a helpful guide
https://andrea-jens.medium.com/i-wanna-make-a-fighting-game-a-practical-guide-for-beginners-part-6-311c51ab21c4

[remote slate]

is that link using the input system?

[austere grotto]

no

it's a conceptual guide

it does not directly use unity or C# or anything like that

the input system is irrelevant

that's just how you read the input

[remote slate]

ok

thank you @austere grotto

[sterile citrus]

@austere grotto I appreciate your help earlier. If you're able to take a look, here's a repo I put together that reproduced the issue I'm seeing (the button will work in the editor but not on Android). The intended behavior in this example is that the button just randomizes an image color.
https://github.com/njelly/input-system-hello-world

EDIT: I have submitted a bug to Unity through the editor.

EDIT: I was missing a PlayerInput script (which I guess Enables the actions?)

[tropic salmon]

Hey, I'm trying to make the new input system work on my game, though it looks like Jump() works but OnMove() doesn't, Jump() really worked first try, maybe I forgot something in the keybinds?

this is probably a dumb question but I can't seem to find the issue here

[austere grotto]

you'd have to show how you actually hooked the actions up to the code

because this doesn't show us

OnMove looks like it's set up for a PlayerInput component in SendMessages mode

but Jump looks like it's set up for a PlayerInput in UnityEvents mode OR manually subscribing listeners to actions in code.

in other words - these are set up for two different styles of listening to the events

and you're doing one or the other. You should know which

[fallen charm]

for keyboard you want a 2d axis

[austere grotto]

That's irrelevant to the question

though it's true that Get<Vector2> is going to fail for a 1D axis

[fallen charm]

Yeah notice how the composite type for keyboard is "1d axis"

wait nvm i meant 2d vector

[tropic salmon]

This is what I have mb for not sending the whole thing, hope it helps

[fallen charm]

theres no function

[austere grotto]

these are both doing nothing

you have no listener functions set up on the left

and on the right you're creating a generted C# input object and not hooking any listeners up to it

perhaps there is more on the right side that you're not showing us (maybe in Start?)

but as is, neither of these will do anything

[tropic salmon]

I'm sooo lost I watched dozens of tutorials and they were all different lol... my brain hurts

[fallen charm]

I know that feeling

[austere grotto]

there are a few different ways of using the input system

you should just stick with one way for now to avoid confusion

[fallen charm]

I recommend simply hooking up player input to the functions

[austere grotto]

to do that though they will need to use the InputAction.CallbackContext parameter type

not InputValue

[fallen charm]

Be sure you only have on player input component

[tropic salmon]

(I'm trying to process the info)

so

the reason why my jump() works is because it has the callbackContext in parameter am I right

[fallen charm]

yes

probably

also click the (no function) button

[austere grotto]

that's part of it... it's also being hooked up somewhere that you haven't shown us yet.
could be in a PlayerInput component inspector or some other code

[fallen charm]

it will give you a list of scripts and then a function to assign it

[austere grotto]

Your Move code would work if your PlayerInput component was set up as "Send Messages" mode though

basically you're mixing and matching a bunch of incompatible things right now

and you happen to have matched something up correctly somewhere with Jump

[tropic salmon]

For some unknown reason the No Function button is disabled (?) and it wasn't like this last time I worked on all of this

[fallen charm]

because it doesnt have an object

[tropic salmon]

oh what

[fallen charm]

(put the player itself in)

[tropic salmon]

it just unlinked it for some reason

[fallen charm]

(im assuming your movement code is on the player right?)

[tropic salmon]

yes

sorry my pc didn't let me screenshot so PrtScn

I think I'm starting to somewhat get it

honestly I'm just not too sure what the function tab should be linked to, in fact every single tutorials just went "do that" instead of explaining what does what

[fallen charm]

Link the move input to OnMove

[fallen charm]

Which im assuming is in your player_movement script

[tropic salmon]

if I understand what you just said, you mean selecting the OnMove() to this function tab? I might just be so far from what you're telling me, I've been trying to understand this for so long without success, confused af

[fallen charm]

Yes thats what i meant

also yeah i know its confusing even im confused about somethings

Such as applying it to a state machine

[tropic salmon]

Only Jump() is in the list

[fallen charm]

Did you put InputAction.CallbackContext in the parentheses of the OnMove function?

[tropic salmon]

à

I did

[fallen charm]

Id remove inputvalue

you dont need that

[tropic salmon]

alright alright

done

[fallen charm]

now test

[tropic salmon]

it works

but how do I get the inputValue if it's not a thing no more?

[fallen charm]

id do this
movementValue = context.ReadValue<Vector2>();

put this in the performed parentheses

[fallen charm]

that way movementvalue is set to the vector2

[tropic salmon]

I see I see

My brain is melting holly molly

I'm starting to think my unity skills got destroyed after 2 years not touching anything gamedev related

[fallen charm]

you can get rid of the playeractions thing

since the component is already conected

so if you want to turn off input (like if your talking to an npc or in a cutscene) simply disable the Player Input Component

[tropic salmon]

oh right that's it

and about that axis thing

even if I only use one axis

do I still use vector2

and just leave the Y axis as it is

[fallen charm]

just use x

IE: movementValue.x

[fallen charm]

so for example rb.force(movementValue.x,movespeed)

[tropic salmon]

it says cannot convert float to vector2, but that's just me and my goofy understanding of vectors, everything works just fine now

thanks a lot man, very wholesome of you to take some time of yours to help

[foggy iris]

Watching this Boundary Break video of Half Life got me thinking. (https://youtu.be/rEXjRokfUpY) How do I achieve teleporting someone to another small area that's technically part of the same level? Anyone got a tutorial?

[fallen charm]

My guess it’s to have a trigger that sets the position of the player to a certain point in the map

Also this has nothing to do with the input system

[foggy iris]

@fallen charm where does it belong?

[fallen charm]

Probably code general

[foggy iris]

@fallen charm thanks.

[fallen charm]

So Im trying to connect my player input component to my states in my state machine

however, the state scripts arent shown on the inspecter just the state machine

And i think it would be better if the input functions were in certain states

For example here is my ground state script

https://pastebin.com/XeqzyG1E

[cold dust]

Hi ppl! Im refactoring the input system on my prototype with Unity's new one. Is there a way to have the Up Down events on the new system? I know it works with events but it would be easier for me to refactor if I got an Up and Down event separatedly. Is that possible or I should find a way to work with a single event?

[austere grotto]

The two bits of code you highlighted don't seem to be directly related to one another

so it's unsure what you're asking for exactly

[cold dust]

new input systems trigger events when input is pressed

[austere grotto]

Are you asking "How do I check if the X key was pressed this frame"?

[austere grotto]

thjat is one of the things it can do

[cold dust]

old input works with Up And Down

[austere grotto]

It can do many things

[cold dust]

right, Im thinking if it is possible to get 2 events, for up and down with the new input system

😊

[austere grotto]

You could use this for a 1:1 replacement for GetKeyDown

DashDown = Keyboard.current[Key.X].wasPressedThisFrame```

[austere grotto]

you don't want events, you want polling

since you're polling in the old system

[cold dust]

right

that is what I mean 😄

[austere grotto]

And for released:

DashDown = Keyboard.current[Key.X].wasReleasedThisFrame```

[neat compass]

Hey there I've got the following InputSystem setup and working fine, is there a way for me to determine if the player is using a Keyboard & Mouse or a Controller? And change the sensitivity dependent on this?
Or do I need to split Move and Look into two seperate actions ie. Move_Keyboard and Move_Controller?

[fallen charm]

You go to Control Schemes

Then add something like gamepad

So basically its like this

[cold dust]

is that something I should configure on the PlayerInputActions asset?

[austere grotto]

nope

this bypasses the input action system entirely

just like GetKeyDown did

(bypassed the old axis system)

[cold dust]

oh ok but isnt that going to work only for keyboard?

Im just using the new system to suppor xbox controller

[austere grotto]

yes, your existing code only works for keyboard too

if you want it to work for more things, you should use input actions

[cold dust]

right, that is my goal haha

[austere grotto]

if you want minimal code changes you can still poll input actions

[cold dust]

ok, I should refactor to work with the event I guess

thanks!

sorry for being so slow with this

[austere grotto]

[austere grotto]

no you don't need to

like I was saying, the new system can be used in many ways

[fallen charm]

Anyway, how can I properly connect each input action in an a state script

wait nvm I think i know

nvm didnt work

btw heres the state machine

https://pastebin.com/D4kxfsr5

[fallen charm]

I cant find anything on how to do this damn thing

[spiral galleon]

what are you trying to do

[fallen charm]

Trying to figure out how to connect the input action functions to my state machine

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/763502300781477948/1115386175046287390/Screenshot_382.png

So each state is a script stored in the state machine

[spiral galleon]

Do you have a reference to the player state machine in your script?

[fallen charm]

all state scripts mention the player state machine

[spiral galleon]

I see

[fallen charm]

https://pastebin.com/XeqzyG1E

[spiral galleon]

Do you use the code generated input?

or just the asset

[fallen charm]

by asset i assume you mean the player input component?

If so then yes

[spiral galleon]

ah right thought it was your own mono behaviour for a sec

[fallen charm]

So I do kind of have a solution but its flawed

https://pastebin.com/LYYRTvBP

This is what i did before

The problem is that this method isnt good for using started,performed, cancelled etc

[spiral galleon]

How do you want to configure which button does what? Cause there's a couple of solutions you can use

[fallen charm]

sorry im just so confused

[spiral galleon]

The simplest solution is to do something along these lines:

playerInput.actions["Crouch"].performed += CrouchButtonPressed;
///

private void CrouchButtonPressed(InputAction.CallbackContext callbackContext)
{
  // swap state etc
}

ideally you would register that in Start() or Awake()

[fallen charm]

im trying it

[spiral galleon]

If you make your State Machine look like this:

public class CoolStateMachine : MonoBehaviour
{
    public void EnterCrouchState(InputAction.CallbackContext ctx)
    {
        if (ctx.performed)
        {
            // clicked
        }
        else if (ctx.canceled)
        {
            // released
        }
    }
}

Then you can use the input like this:

Assuming "MousePosition" in my example is your button for going crouch

My keyboard controls work perfectly

[sly oak]

Completed working on device detection module and so far it works well, might help you and others.
Cheers.

PS TouchScreenPad is my Custom Input Device so it might differ in your use-cases.

[austere grotto]

you 'd have to explain what "not working" means and show the code for this Joystick script

[tame oracle]

Could I DM you so i don't spam this channel?

[austere grotto]

no

[austere grotto]

didn't you literally just complain about this channel being "dead" 10 minutes ago?

Why are you worried about spamming it now.

its code from an asset. i'd rather not share it pubicily

Man. this discord is so hostile

No worries, thanks anyway man.

I promise you man, you can be happy in life. you don't always need to be upset.

[crimson schooner]

Hey I'm having an issue with the input system where mayflash gamecube adapter controllers aren't joining the game when a button is pressed despite inputs being read by the input debugger. I'll attach some relevant screenshots

The input debugger is recognizing when changers are happening in the "value" column for certain button presses, but when I press a button in my game the "controller" prefab isn't being spawned, despite not having this issue with other control schemes in my action maps (keyboard/standard gamepad)

I was wondering if part of the issue was that I was using specifically the mayflash adapter as my input, but even when I used the joystick trigger option (which for some reason is the X button on a mayflash controller) it won't register either

Here's my action map for all control schemes

Unity can recognize the inputs when using "listen" but won't add a prefab as well

[fallen charm]

For some reason I when I try to add the action in my state script I get an error thats says "NullReferenceException"

https://pastebin.com/3istDf07

its this line btw _p.p_input.actions["Jump"].started += Jump;

even though i have this in the state machine its referencing

private PlayerInput _p_Input; public PlayerInput p_input { get { return _p_Input; } }

PlayerGroundState.EnterState (PlayerStateMachine player) (at Assets/Scripts/Player/PlayerStates/PlayerGroundState.cs:29)```

This is the error

Also for some reason when this error occurs my statemachine script is turned off

[austere grotto]

You never assigned _p

Or perhaps _p.p_input

[fallen charm]

public abstract class PlayerBaseState
{
    protected PlayerStateMachine _p;
    public abstract void EnterState(PlayerStateMachine player);

    public abstract void UpdateState(PlayerStateMachine player);

    public abstract void UpdateStateLate(PlayerStateMachine player);
}

I forgot to mention that

[austere grotto]

Not an assignment

_p = something

That's an assignment

What you shared is the variable declaration

Also wouldn't it be ["Character/Jump"] to find that action?

[fallen charm]

Oh maybe

        pInput.actions["Jump"].started += Jump;``` this causes the same error btw

[fallen charm]

so it cant be this

[austere grotto]

Huh

It's very simple. I'm shooting in the dark here because I don't have your project in front of me

One of your variables is null

Your job is to find out what is null

And why it's null

And fix that

I'm just giving you some possibilities

But you need to actually check with logs or the debugger

[fallen charm]

ok got it to work but when i try to jump i get an error

    {
       _p.velocity.y = Mathf.Sqrt(_p.jumpheight * -2f * _p.gravity);
    }```

it says this is causing it

[austere grotto]

_p is clearly null

[fallen charm]

the reason i did that was because

    {
       player.velocity.y = Mathf.Sqrt(player.jumpheight * -2f * player.gravity);
    }``` would not work

[austere grotto]

Of course not, that doesn't make sense

[fallen charm]

cause i need something that references the statemachinescript

wait i got it to work

wait for some reason i can jump in the air? even though i dont have the jump function in the air state script?

Heya, just going to pop this in here as it it somewhat related to InputSystem, although I don't want to duplicate the same message.

#archived-code-general message

[gleaming socket]

anyone know how i can stop listening for input in the new unity input system?

[timber robin]

Well, you have to .Enable() your input action map, so just call .Disable() on it.

[gleaming socket]

oh ok, thanks

[sly oak]

Are there 4 joysticks connected ? or are those just multiple entries of the same device ?

[crimson schooner]

The adapter has 4 ports to plug different gamecube controllers into

[sly oak]

@crimson schooner
so debugger shows 4 entries regardless of how many are connected ?

[slender vapor]

I dont kow if your up to help but i think i need to enable my action but i cant seem to figure out how to do it, ive read the documentation and im just a bit slow, this is what i got so farhttps://gdl.space/fapaleqovu.cs, if you have any advice or imput i would really be so thankfull

[slender vapor]

my menu doesn't want to work at all, and my jump use to work but that stopped when i added the IfGrounded statement but thats something else i can do on my own and tweak, but if you have any idea on why my menu wont work then please let me know

[slender vapor]

nevermind i dont need help, i got it now

[thick imp]

I've a problem with the new input system I don't understand. When I press the B button on my controller, with a UI input map active, this happens:

• the B button triggers the action from the UI input map
• we unpause the game (timescale, etc) (frame A)
• we switch input map from UI to Gameplay
• then, the frame after (A + 1), we receive input events in this order: B down, B up, B down, B up

all that with one button press and release

why would that happen?

edit: I've noticed that this B down, B up, B down, B up always happens whenever we press the button once, that seems a bit suspicious

[thick imp]

it was this ^^'
all that remains is to figure out why the action triggers twice

[austere grotto]

your code might be subscribing more than once by accident

[thick imp]

didn't look like it, but i might've missed something; I changed it to use a passthrough action type and there's no more duplication, and it fits better to the needs anyway 🤷

thanks

Hey, complete unity beginner here. I want to make a game that only reads the ordinal and cardinal directions, like a number pad. None of the in-betweens. Is there a way to sort of add those constraints to the Input Manager?

[crimson schooner]

Correct. Sorry for the delayed response, I'm at work

The debugger shows 4 entries regardless, but only one of them will update the value column depending on the number of controllers plugged in

[neat compass]

Any reason autoswitch doesn't work when there are two or more Player Inputs in a scene?
At the moment I have "Movement Controls" which is the player movement
and "Global Controls" which is for controls which should always be active, ie. pause menu, console, etc.
Should I merge everything into one?

[sly oak]

By depending on number you mean 2 controllers are connected and upon pressing key from any controller, only 1st controller's values in input debugger are updated ?
Can you explain it a bit ?

[crisp wasp]

Hi. I'm new to Unity. I want to use the new Input System 1.6.1, and I'm using Unity Editor 2022.3.1f1 and JetBrains Rider IDE 2023.1.2
I installed the package through the Package Manager and restarted the Unity Editor. The instalation should be correct but then, I start my Rider IDE and get the following 2 errors:

I also tried the Input System 1.5.1 and the Unity Editor 2022.3.0f1 and same exact error. I also tried with completelly new empty projects

Does someone know why this might be happening?

[wheat cipher]

why is this happening? i cant see the textbox and everything is overlapping

[wheat cipher]

the input system 1.6.1 seems broken for some reason

anybody having issues?

[coral sphinx]

hey, i'm was trying to follow this tutorial:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cd8eTgBM1ew&ab_channel=AwesomeTuts-AnyoneCanLearnToMakeGames
but it cuts at the end for some reason, now i'm stuck with the monkey movement. I'm trying to use the input-system to just constantly get the touch position when pressing the screen, any tips?

[crisp wasp]

Yeah, I showed it here #🖱️┃input-system message

Do you have a similar issue?

[wheat cipher]

no mines different, i can install the 1.6.1 but the issue is UI of the Input system overlapping

[crimson schooner]

Only the corresponding "port" of the adapter will have it's values updated, but this is expected behavior. This is what the adapter looks like for reference.

If I plug the GameCube controller into the first port and press the A button, then in the input debugger only the first registered mayflash input device has its button 2 input changed.

Which again, is expected behavior. The problem is the inputs are not being read the new input system

[coral sphinx]

Can someone help me?

[worn edge]

How can i detect with the input system if i clik on a UI element ? I have a interactable scene but i don't want to interacte with it when i click on a ui button. (I use raycast to interact with my scene)

[worn edge]

I think you can add an InputAction to detect when you are pressing the screen. Then, add loop and while the screen is pressed, with an other InputAction, get your current screen position

[austere grotto]

Just use the event system for the game world interactions too and you get this free

[maiden crane]

Are there any examples of floating joystick designs that utilize the on-screen stick available?

[sly oak]

Just change the behaviour in the on screen stick to ‘ExactPositionWithDynamicOrigin’ rest all remains same.

[maiden crane]

Turns out that I had an old version of the input system package installed. Upon researching your comment it became clear I had to update it, which then revealed the behaviour field. Thanks!

[sly oak]

Understood, Will update u on this asap. Gotta dig around a bit myself!

[sly oak]

Glad it worked out!

[worn edge]

What do you mean ?

[austere grotto]

Instead of using manual Raycasts for your game interactions, use event system stuff like IPointerClickHandler

[worn edge]

It work, Thx !

[fallen charm]

For some reason performed phase wont work properly for my state machine (it works but holding the button down does nothing)

https://pastebin.com/VXgqbNmN

started and cancelled work fine, but performed will just behave like cancelled

How do I fix this?

[viral orchid]

are you checking repeatedly if the button is being pressed

[fallen charm]

Its set to performed, which SHOULD mean that it works whenever the button is held

[viral orchid]

maybe call self.on_performed() in update method

idrk

[fallen charm]

Ive heard its best not to put input related things in the update method because then frame rate effects input

[viral orchid]

oh. well if ur gonna seperate input handling from update method so frame rate isnt made worse, then maybe make a handle_input method:

def handle_input(self, pressed):
self.pressed = pressed

    if self.pressed and not self.prev_pressed:
        self.on_pressed()
    elif not self.pressed and self.prev_pressed:
        self.on_cancelled()

    self.prev_pressed = self.pressed

then in the loop call button.handle_input(pressed)

lmk if it works

[mental jackal]

hello, so i had this code setup, and I noticed that when I would press "A" it would move me forward, and "S" it would move me left and vice versa, and I checked my input manager and everything seemed to be fine so I was wondering if there was something wrong with my code?

[viral orchid]

check what your binds are in your input system

[mental jackal]

my binds are the default in unity
