its easy for me to parse that way

analog marsh
#

why dont you just name them to what you want them to be used for?

#

you can always rebind them

ivory bane
#

because thats more work

#

right?

analog marsh
#

its less in the long run

ivory bane
#

did you just change your name

#

lol

analog marsh
#

no

#

what does it say it is

ivory bane
#

okay nevermind

#

Tempest

analog marsh
#

ok lol

ivory bane
#

used to be kingtempest07

analog marsh
#

oh thats my internal name

#

i guess it just didnt display my display name

#

but yeah, you should probably just name them things like "jump" or "movement"

ivory bane
#

I feel like that just complicates things

analog marsh
#

not really

ivory bane
#

also that wouldnt fix my keyboard problerm would it?

analog marsh
#

it makes it so that you can change bindings at any time via script

ivory bane
#

well I already have a state machine

#

and it feels like making another

analog marsh
ivory bane
#

idk maybe i misunderstand it

analog marsh
#

Essentially the whole appeal of it is that you can just say "Movement.ReadValue<Vector2>()" and get the direction

gilded osprey
#

also, starting from basics - is it enabled? I needed to manually enable it before it accepted keyboard input

analog marsh
#

it doesn't mattrer if its using dpad, left stick, wasd or anything really

gilded osprey
#

sorry for long response, I was AFK for a moment

ivory bane
#

are you talking to me?

#

if so then i dont see a way to disable it so I assume its enabled lol

gilded osprey
#

in code I mean

ivory bane
#

yeah it works when I have the controller off when I start the game

gilded osprey
#

crude testing code but something like this

image.png
ivory bane
#

but its weird because the enter key works either way

#

I think It just needs to accept both keyboard and controller at once but it doesnt like that

#

I know the keyboard can control it the problem is why it wont swap between keyboard and controller

#

is what weve narrowed it down to

analog marsh
#

thats why i think it could be due to control schemes not being separate

#

thats the whole point of having them is to switch between them when one is being used

ivory bane
#

but they keyboard would still be bound with the controller

#

so i dont see how its different i personally like it this way, dont want to turn down help but I dont see how this could fix it

ivory bane
#

So yeah if anyone else knows how to help, heres the tldr. My input doesnt accept controls from controller and keyboard at the same time, online from what ive read it is supposed to do so. They are under the same actionmap and keyboard only works when controller is off from the start of the game. (ty guys for trying to help so far)

#

can I change these flags somewhere, the keyboards flags are different and while im not sure exactly what they all mean they seem like they would affect this.

Any ideas why simulated touch input from mouse or pen doesn't work?
Function is not executed when mouse clicking.

        inputSystem.Camera.TouchPress.started += ctx => StartTouch(ctx);
#

I have it Enabled in OnEnable

Show the configuration of the action and the binding (right side of the Window) as well as your actual movement code

#

That's just the up part. show the composite binding itself

#

The thing that says 2D vector

#

Can you try without it being normalized

#

I have been looking around and I have not found details on how to add touch for controller buttons. For Example, PS5 or VR controllers that sense touch before the trigger is pulled. Can anyone give me directions or a link on how button touch is done in the action Input system?

#

Found it it's nested in the little side arrow under the path dropdown for the binding properties.

worthy berry
#

Is there a way to bind keys to to a value action? So for example keys 0-9 will set their respective values in their action when clicked?

I ended up adding a scale processor to each key corresponding with it's number

#

How to disable/ignore Input system event when interacting with UI slider?
Currently when I move the slider, other interactions are still happening.

#

Even better if I could somehow specify which UI elements are ignored by the input system.
How do others do this?

# 
pointerOverUI = EventSystem.current.IsPointerOverGameObject();

I was able to use this.
I check if a pointer is on top of the UI on context.started.
Going to test it on touch screen.

I have two Player Inputs, and it seems like the second one uses both of my gamepads regardless of what i do. Im trying to make it so each of the two has one gamepad each. I’ve looked everywhere for a solution but I couldn’t find what I was looking for.

#

Anything i need to about the way they’re spawned in? I already have a code that spawns them in, would it work if i just swapped the line of code that does it out?

nimble scarab
#

is there a workaround to support multiple keyboards for the input system?

ivory bane
#

Try adding a normalize processor to rotation. Ive never done mouse movement so its just a guess though

austere grotto
#

delete the 2D vector binding
bind directly to Delta [Mouse]

#

do not apply any processors

#

also make sure your code is in Update not FixedUpdate

how can i join a player without instantiating a new object?

#

public void OnMove(InputValue value) { _moveVector = value.Get<Vector2>(); Debug.Log(_moveVector); }

image.png
#

I have this script on the same game object as the player input component, but it doesn't seem to be sending messages. What am i doing wrong?

#

I'm not seeing the debug message when using any of the keys i have bound to the Move action

fervent nexus
#

Opening the input debugger from this component, it shows "StarterAssets.inputsettings.asset" rather than the asset currently assigned to the component. Is this normal?

image.png
austere grotto
#

you'd have to show your script

fervent nexus
#

sorry for the pastecode link. As far as i know, the OnMove function should at least be printing the debug message. When I switch the Action field on the player input component to the default action map, the OnMove function is called.

Does the Input System not recognize joycons? Most of my other controllers are detected right away but I try hitting buttons on a paired joycon and get nothing

#

I've set up a pointer/touch drag event in the input system, but I also have a UI slider. The main drag event is firing as well as the slider when I use the slider. Is there a way to get the slider to consume the pointer events?

tranquil island
#

the way I've set it up is with a custom InputActionAsset handling screen drag globally, but the EventSystem is using DefaultInputActions stuff, so I guess they just ignore each other?

#

I can probably fix this by just not having a slider and using two buttons instead, but it'd be nice to know what the right way to set it up would have been

#

I guess what I need to do is to get my global screen drag to run off of the in-scene EventSystem component? is eventData.Use() the right way to consume the input in that case? I assume pre-built things like slider components will do that automatically. which has me wondering if there's a priority system to make my global drag the last item to get the event.

I am struggling with something with the buttons when you choose in the game, like when you press on Player 1, only one player appears and when you press Player 2, 2 players appears, and it works fine but right now when I press on Player 1, 2 players appear, how can I fix that?

anyone have the answer?

This discord is not a debugging tool, you need to learn how to do that yourself.

I don't know where I can debugging

Luckily I provided you with a link explaining how different debugging methods work.

Hey so I'm newish and I'm trying to use the newer input system in unity to support local multiplayer. Does anyone know how to use essentially assign a gamepad to an object when you instantiate it?

austere grotto
wild fractal
#

can some one point me in the right direction with new input system of how to use joystick and mouse to rotate an object around a polayer in 2d ii want the rotation to be in line with the mouse cursor or where the joystick points

zinc stump
#

Not really related to input system. Take position of your pointer, subtract position of the player to get direction, rotate the object to that direction.

wild fractal
#

will this work for joystick though,

#

im not really striggling iwth mouse pointer i just cant seem to use the vector two of a joystick to rotate the object around the player

zinc stump
#

if you use joystick directly, it is already your direction vector, if you move the pointer, the point is the same as mouse pointer

#

if joystick is too sensitive to get smooth direction you want to smooth rotation to not be instant.

wild fractal
#

thank u i will try this, never done controller inputs at all so im struggling a lil 😅

I've binded 2 keys on that event : 1 and 2
When I click on 1, 1 is debugged
but when I click on 2, it is still 1 who is debugged
is there a way to get the value of the actual pressed binded key ?

how would I get the current/latest input from any device?

# austere grotto Use PlayerInputManager

lol I had no luck with this last night. It only works well if you're using 2 different types of controllers or like a keyboard and a gamepad. I think I kinda figured it out without using any of the prebuilt stuff though. Thanks anyway : )

Is there a way to influence one input with another?

I have shift as a walk button

#

I got this

When I hold WASD vertical reaches 1

Is there a way to limit it to 0.5 when I hold shift?

#

hello, is it possible to call the action in the button from the level of script. i.e. I don't physically press the button but the inputmemager will think it is pressed.

obsidian creek
#

Is it possible to get PlayerInput from a button click?
I'm currently using a hackjob way of getting the currentInputModule from PointerEventData and then fetch It's gameobject's name (which I have renamed to the corresponding playerIndex)

waxen sigil
#

like if it was inputting before the rebind button was pressed so I know to filter it out because of an issue with the gamecube controller adapter (a controller I'd want to support)

#

so ideally I'd use ReadValueFromPreviousFrame but I can't with the standard InputControl class

storm hearth
#

how do i check the action type of an input action via code?
do i just
Debug.Log(actionName.ActionType.ToString());?

#

wait its expectedControlType right?

copper mural
#

Hello, how can I find out which key was pressed ?

austere grotto
#

You're basically asking "how does input handling work"?

#

maybe explain what you're trying to do and explain your specific problem and what you've tried so far.

sleek pelican
#

for controller joysticks, what should i set the deadzone too? im hovering around 0.03 but still getting a bit of drift (my controller is not drifting)

ivory bane
#

0.03 is really low i would do something more like 0.15-0.2

#

Depends on ur game though is it 3d?

#

I guess the more pertinent question is how much nuance does your movement need?

#

I mean you would know best what your contoller deadzone needs

When I got to the 2:17 mark, I have a different menu to him for the external tools, and I also get the syntax error for Using UnityEngine.Input. How can I make it so Registry packages have affect in scripts, like what he did by clicking the checkbox.

How to use Unity's New INPUT System EASILY

The "new" Input System in Unity still doesn't come pre-packaged and is complicated to understand at a glance. It's no surprise new game developers don't know where to look in the engine to find it, or how to use it.

In this tutorial, learn how a beginner can adapt their current project to use the new input system in a simple way, as well as usi...

▶ Play video
#

I am using unity version 2021.3.5f

# lone jolt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmXU4dZbaMw I was using this tutorial to set up ...

Hey! I'm also a beginner - but maybe it will help. When I was setting new Input System, after installing the package : Edit -> Project Settings -> Player -> Other Settings -> under ``Active Input Handlingyou can pick old / new OR both input systems ->restart Editor. It worked for me, without changing anything in theExternal Tools. I'm using2022` Unity version but maybe you can try this before someone more advanced will reply

#

Yeah I have done this. I think the package will work regardless weather I do this other thing but I am not sure. not many other tutorials mention it

#

So i have this problem with the input system. I am making this 2D platformer learning project. The problem is the player moves and jumps when in the editor, but only jump works when i make a build. Should i post the code i’m using? I am using the generated C# class, so i enabled the input action in OnEnable() and create a new instance of the class and subscribed to move and jump actions in Awake()

quasi chasm
#

I'm trying to get input system working in my project, and I currently have something like what's on the screenshot below. I reference both Movement (Vector3) and Rotation (axis) with Input Action References in my script, and I'm trying to get the values in my script like this
_moveAction.action.ReadValue<Vector3>();
but it is always Vector3.zero. Input debugger shows the keys on the keyboard being pressed properly. Does anyone know what's going on?

image.png
#

I have the new input system selected in player settings already, and I added keyboard and mouse as supported devices

#

what's weirder, Keyboard.current.aKey.isPressed reacts properly

austere grotto
quasi chasm
#

Why would it be disabled...?
I'll try that in a sec

#

well it does work
but why was it disabled in the first place?

austere grotto
#

it's not enabled by default

quasi chasm
#

is there a way to enable them through the inspector maybe?

ivory bane
#

If you dont want to enable them youll have to use the player input component method.

regal osprey
#

hi there
quick question, is there a way to use InputValues with button actions? I'm trying to implement a simple jump action but the InputValue doesnt fire a "released"/"cancelled" event when I'm letting go of the button

austere grotto
regal osprey
#

hm, I only get one per press

austere grotto
#

and can use myInputValue.isPressed to distinguish

#

that being said I'd recommend switching to unity events

#

so you get a full InputAction.CallbackContext

regal osprey
#

I thought so as well, but curious if this is a solveable problem without that change, cuz otherwise the functionality is kinda useless

#

I'm using PlayerInput btw to invoke messages for my script

austere grotto
#

I'm aware

#

that's the only context in which people deal with InputValue

#

My understanding was that you get two calls - but I also long ago abandoned that mode of operation precisely because InputValue is so useless

#

make sure you don't have any interactions on your action or binding

regal osprey
#

hm, thats a shame, but I guess I'm gonna switch back to UnityEvents

fierce vector
#

Heyas. So how do we properly track mouse movement? I've got it set to click and drag an object, reading a Vector2 from Position [Pointer], remembering the offset between the mouse and the object when it's clicked, and moving it in relation to where the mouse moves. It works, but the location value of the mouse is much bigger than expected and the object moves much too far with each mouse movement. It seems like the location of the mouse is not using the same positioning system as the objects in the game space? Maybe it's in relation to the whole screen?

zinc stump
#

post code how you are measuring it

fierce vector
# 
// Main
void OnMove(InputValue value)
    {
        if (!(heldTile is null))
        {
            heldTile.moveTo(value.Get<Vector2>());
        }
    }

// Tile
public void moveTo(Vector2 location)
    {
        if (heldOffset == Vector2.zero)
        {
            heldOffset = (Vector2)transform.position - location;
        }
        else
        {
            transform.position = (Vector3)(heldOffset + location);
            Debug.Log(heldOffset + " " + location);
        }
    }

Cool, edited it. The Tile object is supposed to move with the mouse when a button is held.

zinc stump
#

are you trying to animate it every step of the way following pointer, or just attach to it?

fierce vector
#

Not sure what you mean

zinc stump
#

is the tile have to move along the valid grid placements or just freely dragged

#

Not sure what you are doing there. But to get offset you just have to cache coordinates of the Input.mousePosition when it was first pressed and then just compare with current one

#

Or rather extract it from new input system setup action instead of Input.mousePosition

fierce vector
#

Freely dragged, yeah.
That's what I've done here.

zinc stump
#

So just dragging is easy, attach it to mouse position.

#

To debug pointer position you might want to setup a UI element to show the coordinates real time

#

Using debug gizmos would help to visualize the problem as well

fierce vector
#

cool, I'll look into that

zinc stump
#

You also don't show how you detecting drag events, Selectable interface has dedicated ones for that. Also EventSystem has drag threshold it can factor in in getting exact start drag point

#

P.S.: I tried subscribing to the performed state in Awake()
read the value directly in Update() and in FixedUpdate()
Subscribed to the ReadInput() function and passed the Callback context
even tried subscribing to DoMovement()
nothing seems to work when making a build, except the jump!

My only script is above

zinc stump
#

examine the exact line where the error originates

vivid hearth
zinc stump
#

Not using find methods should remove some confusion. Make direct references then you'll know what object is used exactly and what it has

#

Debug.Log also has context parameter, use it to find what object used exactly

#

Debug everything in the chain

vivid hearth
#

Nope still happens with just a debug log, so its got to be an issue with OnJump(InputAction.CallbackContext context) or a Unity Issue

zinc stump
#

Right, OnJump requires context and you are not providing anything. So it is treated as entirely different method

#

And you don't have parameterless OnJump()

vivid hearth
#

from the ()

zinc stump
#

do you need that context? Does action provide that context?

vivid hearth
zinc stump
#

.performed += (context) => OnJump(context);
If I'm not mistaken

vivid hearth
vivid hearth
zinc stump
#

make sure it's the correct parameter type

#

it could output anything you set it up to output

vivid hearth
zinc stump
#

Again. If the parameter is incorrect then it is treated as completely different method

I'm wanting to change the scaling factors on the "Look" action at runtime:

#

GPT-4 suggested this approach, however it doesn't work and I can't help feeling there must be a better way

# 
 int sensitivity = int.Parse(GetCurrentLabel());

        InputAction look = GlobalControl.Instance.trrControls.Vehicle.Look;

        Debug.Log(look.processors);

        // Find the binding index for the action you want to modify
        var bindingIndex = look.bindings.IndexOf(b => b.action == "Look");
        if (bindingIndex >= 0)
        {
            var binding = look.bindings[bindingIndex];
            binding.processors = $"NormalizeVector2,ScaleVector2(x={sensitivity},y={sensitivity})";
            look.ChangeBinding(bindingIndex).To(binding);
        }
        else
        {
            Debug.LogError("Binding index not found");
        }

        Debug.Log(look.processors);

Why is it that in Unity, I can only move the PC forwards by squeezing the SD or AS keys down, not just the S key? Here's my code, I'm not sure why this is the case.


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

public class walk : MonoBehaviour
{
    Rigidbody2D rb;
    static float walkSpeed = 3f;
    static float runSpeed = 5f;
    float inputHorizontal;
    float inputVertical;
    Vector2 playerPosition = new Vector2(10f, -1.5f);

    public bool isWalkingOnYVector = false;
    static float mySpeed;
    public Animator tristanimator;
    //Controls all his anims

    //private float stamina = 100f;

    void Start()
    {
        rb = gameObject.GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();



    }

    void Update()
    {
        tristanimator.SetFloat("tristanIsWalkingSpeed", Mathf.Abs(inputVertical));

        mySpeed = Input.GetKey(KeyCode.LeftShift) ? runSpeed : walkSpeed;
        inputHorizontal = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
        inputVertical = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");

Vector2(inputHorizontal * mySpeed, 0f);
            }
        }

    }

}```

in fact it has a compile error

Vector2(inputHorizontal * mySpeed, 0f); is not a valid line of code

# 
        if (isWalkingOnYVector == true)
        {
            if (inputHorizontal != 0)
            {
                float inputHorizontal = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");

                rb.velocity = new Vector2(inputHorizontal * mySpeed, inputVertical * mySpeed);

sorry forgot this section, i think it didnt send

#

my connection is shitty

let me pastebin it

austere grotto
#

you are ignoring the vertical input entirely

#

Also all movement here:

            if (inputHorizontal != 0)
            {
                float inputHorizontal = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");

                rb.velocity = new Vector2(inputHorizontal * mySpeed, inputVertical * mySpeed);

            }```
is inside this if statement:
`if (inputHorizontal != 0)`
so naturally it will only move if you have some horizontal input

That one was cut out due to shitty internet

austere grotto
half pebble
#

ohhhhh fuck, how do i keep making so many basic mistakes 🤠

austere grotto
#

also you have two unrelated variables with the same name

float inputHorizontal = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"); creates a brand new variable

#

why are you doing that

#

why are you reading the horizontal input twice

hey does ayone know if there is a simple way to not make the click event fire when the double click (double tap) event fires?

austere grotto
tame oracle
#

yeah so I need to implement it myself?

austere grotto
#

I always have

#

but basically after the first click one of two things will happen

#

either a certain amount of time passes and you do the single click thing, or you get a nother click and do the double click thing

#

unfortunately you will always need the delay

tame oracle
#

yeah makes sense

ok thank you!

Hey I'm getting an error in Visual Studio Code on my line of code shoot.performed += Fire the error is "No overload for 'Fire' matches delegate 'Action<InputAction.CallbackContext>'". Not entirely sure but I believe this is because I already attached the shoot Input to another method in another script. I attached the Shoot Input to one method for shooting in my ranged weapon and one for an attack in my melee weapon script.

austere grotto
#

it would need to return void and accept an InputAction.CallbackContext parameter

playerControls.PlayerAction.Run.performed += i => runInput = true;
playerControls.PlayerAction.Run.canceled += i => runInput = false;

Can anyone help me? i have Run input with LeftShift, so far it works on holding shift it runs, upon releasing it stops running. what i want to know, how to achieve effect of when i press shift, it keeps running until i press it again?

austere grotto
# 
void Update() {
  if (runInput) ...
}```
rich cosmos
#

so i should limit performed on runinput, else canceled in update?

austere grotto
#

What?

rich cosmos
#

like

if (runInput){
run performed
}
else
{
run canceled
}
austere grotto
#

No

austere grotto
#

Take your existing code plus my code

#

Oh wait sorry

#

I didn't understand what you meant here

#

You want to switch to a toggle instead of a hold?

rich cosmos
#

i want to toggle run input, so it keeps running on button click

#

yes, that, my bad i still learn how to express problems in unity

austere grotto
#

For toggle you'd do this:

playerControls.PlayerAction.Run.performed += i => runInput = !runInput;
rich cosmos
#

with that on button click it toggles run and next button click it toggles !run? so i dont need canceled input with that approach?

#

woah, works wonders! i would never say it's that simple 🤦‍♂️

#

another question based on that. lets say i want to put bool into options menu that gives choice to have toggled run on hold button run. so its if toggled - use this method above, else use performed-canceled inputs. i should do it in ifelse statemets, but where? can it go inside onenable() or it should go somewhere else?

austere grotto
rich cosmos
#

gotcha, added ifelse, created ReinitializePlayerControls function and used OnValidate to have changes in realtime for changing bool value

rich cosmos
#

should OnValidate() be removed when deploying a build? OnValidate works on changes from inspector, no actual ingame changes?

Hey guys. Trying to achieve basic movement with new Input System. This is the code for my GameObject

public class MCMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
    Rigidbody2D rb2d;
    
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        rb2d=GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
    }

    public void ToMove(InputAction.CallbackContext context) {
        Debug.Log("ToMove");
    }

    void Update()
    {
    }

    void FixedUpdate() {
    }
}```

I put ToMove in Player Input. It is attached to 2d vector binding but its not working
#

First image is the input action map. Second is the Player Input. I want to check if the input is coming that's all. But I cant seem to get any response in Debug console

#

Tried working around with it. Didnt work.

Also show a screenshot of your console window. Are logs enabled?

#

You can akso use the input debugger to make sure your keyboard input is being detected in general

#

And finally can you show a screenshot of the action configuration? You have shown only the binding

split kelp
#

I am pressing WASD but nothing

this is the binding

#

or rather the up part of the binding

#

and show that

#

ok

Still the binding...

it's unclear which bindings are in which schemes

and your PlayerInput is set to use the Windows scheme

That all depends on how your game and your controls work and whether they're in any way touch friendly

I'm trying to figure out how to detect when an InputUser loses all of their paired devices. I want to create a system that kicks a local player off the game if they unplug all of their devices and don't plug something back in after 10 seconds. I'm using this code.

private void OnUserChange(InputUser user, InputUserChange change, InputDevice device)
{
    if (user != this.InputUser)
        return;

    InputUser = user;
    
    switch (change)
    {
        case InputUserChange.DeviceRegained:
            Debug.Log($"Input user {user.index + 1} regained device {device.displayName}");
            break;
        case InputUserChange.DeviceLost:
            Debug.Log($"Input user {user.index + 1} lost device {device.displayName}");
            break;
        default:
            Debug.Log($"Something happened on user {user.index + 1}");
            break;
    }

    if (user.lostDevices.Count == user.pairedDevices.Count)
    {
        Debug.Log($"User {user.index+1} lost all paired devices!");
        AllDevicesLost?.Invoke();
    }
}

If I plug a controller into player 2, then unplug it, I get the "AllDevicesLost" event firing. Great!

But if I plug it back in...I get the DeviceRegained event, which is great, but the AllDevicesLost event fires again

#

It's like it's not updating the lostDevices list immediately.

#

I do notice an extra "Something happened" in the log after losing a device and after regaining it

#

could that be the event that updates the list?

#

That's exactly what it was. 😛

Hey, Question - I'm trying to react to an Action, and then read the key that is associated with it to send it to an TMP_InputField that I turn on when the action happens.

This doesn't seem to work and I think it's not a good practice; how do I actually read Keys as Chars or Scancodes with InputActions?

InvalidOperationException: Cannot read value of type 'int' from control '/Keyboard/anyKey' bound to action 'UI/AlphaNumeric[/Keyboard/anyKey]' (control is a 'AnyKeyControl' with value type 'float')
image.png image.png
#

I tried the Value types.

#

(the feature I want to build is a filter input field that becomes visible then the user starts typing while a UGUI window is focused, kind of standard stuff)

#

Why does it say it's "Float"?

# 
InputSystem.onEvent
    .ForDevice<Gamepad>()
    .Where(e => e.HasButtonPress())
    .CallOnce(ctrl => Debug.Log($"Button {ctrl} pressed"));

Trying something like this now.

#

This gives me really weird IDs - seems like the IDs are rotating?

I will implement ITextInputReceiver instead.

Hi, we are experiencing the same issue with Input System 1.6.3, Select and Start buttons are still swapped on Steam Deck

thin gate
#

Anyone can direct me to information on how I can listen for player input on another object?
Basically I want to do this:
Have a sign object with a script, when the player press the "Attack button" in front of the sign, it activates the dialog box object in my hierarchy.
What I think I need to do is put the input.xx.xx.xx.performed += Attack_performed on the sign and when the player attacks, the dialog box activates, etc
So far, from my testings, if I do that, the event gets fired twice at the same time and nothing works out.
Anyone can help me?

austere grotto
#

have a script on the player that looks for such components on nearby objects

#

and calls a function on that component when you press the button

thin gate
#

I have a collider on the sign already

austere grotto
#

ok that's a good first step

thin gate
#

oh, so in the player script, I guess I could check for the tag of the collider and if its a sign, I do the whole dialog system

How can I create a settings menu for my fps game? I want to know how I can build a scene where the player can change their settings. I am confused how I can do that while using the new input system?

austere grotto
#

The input system has very little to do with that. Sounds like a #📲┃ui-ux question

lone bone
supple crow
#

My debug interface turns off my "Look" action. When I read it after re-enabling the action, my camera spins around, because a very large mouse movement occurred since the last read.

#

Is there a way I can clear that?

#

I can't just call ReadValue on every action in its action map, since that requires knowing the correct type to read

#

maybe Reset? let's find out

#

hm, nope

#

oh, I think I get it: the debug menu unlocks the cursor

#

the cursor then snaps back to the center when the cursor is locked

#

that appears to cause the next mouse delta read to give a big value

#

if I move the mouse right and then close the debug menu, my next mouse movement makes the camera spin left

#

well, that's a bit annoying

#

I ran into the same issue in an older project where I was using the Player Input component

#

so I got a callback whenever the mouse moved

#

To solve the issue there, I just ignored the first event after the mouse was re-locked

#

here, however, I'm using ReadValue to read the value every frame

#

so I see a bunch of [0,0] results until i re-lock the cursor and then move the mouse

#

I guess I'll just ignore the first result that isn't [0,0] after re-locking the cursor

Quick question regarding the new input system.

I was wondering if it was possible to create an action that can be triggered by multiple key combinations.

For example: action "thing" can be triggered by key combinations 1."A+B+C" or 2."X+Y+Z".

I have managed to make this work using the old input system but can't find much documentation on how to do this using the new system, i'm thinking that I've missed something in the docs.

From what I've found, you can bind an action with 2 keys required using composite binds, but not N binds.

Any ideas?

my problem got fixed after moving the look function to lateUpdate instead of update

and 2nd thing I did was to change update mode

go to project settings

then select Input System Package

then change Update Mode to Process events in dynamic update

I think now its set to that by default but you can try nonetheless

#

is the action map incorrect?

#

enhanced touch support is on so it should be working but touching it returns no touch is being performed, its insane, it makes no sense

#

how can it return no touch as a result of me touching it? its not physically possible

#

getting distressed that I cannot find the cause of this bug

austere grotto

#

Or am I stupid and wrong and should do it this way?

#

I only used enhanced actions because I googled it and thats what google results told me to use

austere grotto
#

the input system polls input each frame under the hood anyway

#

Just don't go crazy and have hundreds of objects polling input separately

Hi everyone! I find myself blocked on creating a simple input action that associates the mouse click and primary touch to some code. What I want to get is the screen position of the event. I am able to find in the 'performed' context of the action but on the 'canceled' context, the value does not show. Please see below my code, action and context logs. Please help me understand how I can get the release screen position of the action event as I can get it on the initial performed state. Thank you!

so in OnSelect you can do:

Vector2 pointerPosition = pointerPositionAction.ReadValue<Vector2>();```
or even try this without a separate action:
```cs
Vector2 pointerPosition = Pointer.current.position.ReadValue();```
tawny yoke
#

thank you @austere grotto ... testing now 🙂

Even though I modified my script to pool the Pointer directly, it is still weird that the release context won't get the position... maybe it's some sort of bug...?

is the Classic Input system for Unity better or the SystemInput Package better

The new input system is significantly better

I have an image on which I put the On-Screen Stick component and binded to it the left gamepad stick and it works as intended and then I have a button with the On-Screen button component and I binded the W on the keyboard and it also works as intended, howewer if I want to have my finger on both at the same time it breaks and registers only the first one I held, is there any way to fix this?

anyone else having problems with the input system on UI navigation? some times when i press on my DS4 d-pad it doesn't register or register it duplicated, not a controller or script issue

#

you can see it jumps a button some times

#

it is detecting my dualshock4 controller as both DualShock4 and XInputController, probably something related to that, i have different situations when i disable one or another:
DualShock4GamepadHID enabled + XInputControllerWindows enabled = some times it doubles the pressed dpad input, making it jump a button
DualShock4GamepadHID enabled + XInputControllerWindows disabled = some times it doesnt detect if i press on the dpad
DualShock4GamepadHID disabled + XInputControllerWindows enabled = works flawlessly

I'm trying to get into TDD, just messing around and trying to make a simple test to pass, here it is:

public class PlayModeTests : InputTestFixture
{
    public override void Setup()
    {
        base.Setup();
        SceneManager.LoadScene("Assets/Scenes/Main.unity");
    }

    [UnityTest]
    public IEnumerator Clicking_Card_Selects_It()
    {
        var handPanel = GameObject.Find("HandPanel");
        var card = handPanel.transform.GetChild(0);

        var mouse = InputSystem.AddDevice<Mouse>();

        Camera camera = GameObject.Find("Main Camera").GetComponent<Camera>();
        Vector3 screenPos = camera.WorldToScreenPoint(card.transform.position);
        Set(mouse.position, screenPos);
        Click(mouse.leftButton);

        yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.1f);

        Assert.That(EventSystem.current.currentSelectedGameObject, Is.EqualTo(card.gameObject));
    }
}

And the test doesn't pass: the expected value is Card, but was null.
And in the console it gives me this monstrosity:

Parameter name: value

UnityEngine.InputSystem.Users.InputUser.set_listenForUnpairedDeviceActivity (System.Int32 value) (at Library/PackageCache/com.unity.inputsystem@1.5.1/InputSystem/Plugins/Users/InputUser.cs:412)

I'm confused because my friend who currently is unable to reply is using this

if (InputActions.Gameplay.Move.ReadValue<float>() != 0)

I'm making a controls rebinding menu to my game. Online I read that you can do InputAction.PerformInteractiveRebinding().

Hey, does anyone know how to manually invoke an InputAction? If the InputAction is disabled, I'd like it to not invoke exactly as if the player had performed the action.

Using Unity's Input System, how do I avoid using two actions (left click, shift + left click) when using a modifier composite? I've read that their used to be a workaround needed but has it been fixed since? Can't find much information and a little confused.

@stone ether Once your RebindingOperation object is setup, you call .Start() on it to begin. You also must dispose of it in the OnComplete method later.

Hi everyone

I am using the new input system. I have set up gamepad stick for touch input. The input actions are configured for both keyboard and gamepad. I am facing this issue where the UI controls stop accepting or processing input.

#

In the above video, I use the left stick to provide forward thrust but it stops working randomly.

#

I could find forum posts about this but none of the solutions worked for me. has anybody else faced the same issue and was able to resolve it.

cinder zodiac
#

not sure if this is better in here or #🧰┃ui-toolkit but my elements' focus ring is skipping over some inputs depending on the direction you are navigating, if you nav down with dpad-down or down-arrow it skips invert y and if you navigate upwards it skips view sens

according to the docs the focus order should be DFS which is the same as their layout order.

i tried setting the exit tab index to 2 to ensure it is last but the problem persists

Hey, hopefully a quick question:
Wondering if there is built-in functionality to disable a specific sub-input on my input actions?
In my case, my professor is requiring we have either controller, WASD, or TFGH (alt to WASD) controls active at one time not all three. It seems like the "move" input action could house all these inputs but then they'd all be active at the same time. I tried doing a simple move.Disable(); in the script but that disables the entire input action rather than a specific part of it.

Note: I'm using the Player Input component rather than the generate C# class due to my need to perform interactive rebinds (which from what I've read can't be done with the generate c# class)

image.png image.png
#

Theoretically, I could just make another input action for each type (controller, wasd, etc.) but that seems like a somewhat weird solution to a problem that's probably quite simple.

#

I did check the manual but didn't see any reference to this specific issue

Hmm, these all seem like over the top solutions. Is there not a way to just disable WASD, controller, etc. inputs individually? That seems like it be the simplest way to go about this.

Hey guys, I have an Input Action Asset that I am assigning to a Player Input component on an object (let's call it Player). I have a separate object called Cursor, which also has a Player Input component, and I am attaching the same Input Action Asset to it. However, when I do this, it causes the inputs on the Player to not work (using Keyboard and Mouse) -- the inputs only work with my plugged in controller (unplugging the controller fixes the issue). Is there any solution to this?

i need to have a bool that changes based on whether or not the player is using a gamepad.
i know i can call an event every time a controller changes from keyboard to a gamepad, but how do i check what controller is currently plugged

bronze oasis

Is there any way to use a global action map or something or to have multiple action assets active in one scene?

tulip tartan
#

You really only want one of those playerinput conponents per player/set of keys on a physical device (like WASD). But there is a "consume input" option somewhere. I wonder if disabling that would help

austere grotto
#

they're just objects and you can reuse/pass around references as you wish, or have a single manager script that handles it centrally

#

Alright then, thanks!

I have a PlayerInputActions set up and a PlayerInputController script set up. I set up the Inspector as I thought was right. Went to play the game, and no actions are happening.

If I press a button or stick left, it does show the value.

So that part is fine.

I am trying to make a local multiplayer character select menu similar to like a fighting game where each player can navigate the menu separately but on the same UI. Unity has the Input System UI Input Module that lets navigating the UI easy, you don't need to figure out yourself what button to select yourself as unity will do it for you. The problem is this only seems to support 1 player at a time as this module doesn't have a way to track each player input separately on the UI. Anyone have suggestions on how I can make this happen? I can manually track by not using the module but figuring out what button to navigate to based on current selected button seems like a lot of work. I could be overthinking this or missing something so I figured I'd ask here, maybe someone here has done this before.

Hi im using the new input system for the first time. Im using the behavior "Invoke Unity Events". im trying to access an input that is stored in a script but the script is on different objects/prefabs. How do i get a reference to this??

void ermine
#

I'm trying to make my UI navigable with a gamepad and I've come across a weird issue. Whenever I try to "click" a button the submit event seems to happen twice. I checked and it's not my controller's fault (I check both wired and wireless), nor is it because I have another input with the same binding (I put submit on Select since it's not used by anything) and other than some small changes to test things out I have not modified anything in the Input System. Any idea what may be the cause of this issue, I've been trying to fix this for the past few hours?

Update: I also tried making a new submit action and setting in the event system, but with no success...

Whenever I'm changing between mouse and virtual mouse (pairing/unpairing virtual mouse), i sometimes get an error:

but the script where its in is used multiple times in prefabs

or is this just not possible XD

#

i think i figured out a workaround for it

#

but if there is a way just let me know XD

tulip tartan
#

Well... you can subscribe through code...

But honestly, that feels like the inverse of what you want. The PLAYER should be calling pickup and maybe passing values IN to the object, or calling a method on it..

But either way, you can subscribe in code. Can't remember how right now sorry.

OR, you can create a public InputAction pickup variable on the thing you want and do the controls on that.

hello, my input system doesn't work. I already make InputAction, assign it to PlayerInput, set event callback, but when I pressed ESC it's not being triggered, why? Where did I do wrong?

hi, i have a problem with input system. Thing is, i wrote a simple code that makes 2d characher jump and roll. Thing is somehy unity rarely detects input. Seems like most of input doesnt get read and unity just skips most part of it. I tried to adjust fixedupdate interval up to 0.0095 but that helped only slightly if helped at all. Did anyone had this problem?

#

For jumps i use addForce with ForceMode.Impulse. When unity does read the input everything seems to work fine

hollow roost
#

private void FixedUpdate()
{
//fix jumps. He cant jump in a sequence, right on landing
if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0) && IsOnGround == true)
{
this.rigBod2d.AddForce(new Vector2(0, yJump),ForceMode2D.Impulse);
Debug.Log("Input wa read");
//IsOnGround = false;
}
}

This is coming from #1064581837055348857 , how could I save and then get actions from an InputUser? I have an automatically generated C# class, or maybe the original asset, and I need to read stuff from there for saving in an Input bank

#

Right now thinking of doing something like ```cs
//This should create a new user.
InputUser newUser = InputUser.PerformPairingWithDevice(pairWithDevice);

        //Associate the Game Input Actions
        GameInputActions a = new();
        newUser.AssociateActionsWithUser(a);

But I honestly have no idea?
#

pairWithDevice is a InputDevice btw

#

Which I get from an InputAction.CallbackContext context

#

Like, the objective is just getting the values from the actions and stuff

Hi there, I hope someone can offer me a tip. This is the first game that I am using the new input system in, and I am having trouble with two actions. I have the S key assigned to going prone. I have another action assigned with One Modifier (S and Space, Space being the modifier), to jump down. I don't know how to determine that the S and Space is being called, and not the S. The functions for both actions are being called.

Is it possible to do this? Or is there some code that I have to add to my code to be able to tell the difference. Or is this something that it is just better suggested to have a different key for prone and jumping down?

Thanks.

i wanna make a "press [X] to do action" thing, how do i get the binding via script?

austere grotto
storm hearth
austere grotto
#

There's only one

storm hearth
#

i mean so many pages in the docs

#

its pretty overwhelming

austere grotto
#

You look at the thing you're actually interested in

#

Ignore the rest

#

You want to know the binding for an input action

#

So check the docs for that class

storm hearth
austere grotto
#

Well that's clearly not it

#

You want the binding you said

storm hearth
#

the name

#

like the name of the button

austere grotto
#

So why use a property called "interactions"

#

The name _of the binding _

storm hearth
austere grotto
#

Not doesn't but maybe search the page for "binding" and see what comes up

storm hearth
austere grotto
#

Search the properties

#

Just look through them

#

You'll be amazed what you find

Is there a reason to use multiple assets over multiple action maps? Any pros and cons? Asking cause because searching for an answer from previous posts could be difficult with the way it's worded.

storm hearth
#

I GOT IT AFTER AN HOUR

# 
        string bindingName = InputControlPath.ToHumanReadableString(inputScript.playerInputActions.NormalPlayerMovement.Vault.bindings[0].effectivePath, InputControlPath.HumanReadableStringOptions.OmitDevice);

if anyone wants to do a "press [x] to action", you can use this code. i knew it took a lot of time and you got desparate enough to search this in the message search

its a little bit different than events, but perform similarly

#

i assume u have an action map, and the action needed

u should have an input manager, to get the map needed
and then on the script that relates to any input, u need to register the input action u need

fallow spade
#

is there a way to tell if the player has switched inputs from mouse to gamepad?

cursive tulip
#

Why does the new input system run my script in invoke unity events multiple times at one button press?

#

I just use F11 as keyboard binding and even if I select only on "button realese", my script does run 3 times before it think its over.

cursive tulip
#

Did I missed something or it this a Unity Bug?

austere grotto
#

started, performed, canceled

#

You can check which one it is in your code

#

Just a bug in your understanding 😉

cursive tulip
#

But not in Unity Invoke?
I connected my script in the player input, that triggers a fuction of thw script.
I also tried to add "on realese" inside of the action keybind map and its still not working like it should.

austere grotto
#

It's not working like you expect

#

There's a difference.

#

Not sure what you mean by "but not in unity invoke?"

I need help getting my controller working with the old input system.
I have "Horizontal" and "Vertical" hooked up to the X-axis Joystick and Y-axis Joystick respectively
When I move the joystick left-right it affects "Vertical"
I have no way to change "Horizontal"

One problem might be related to the fact that the blue ring around the home button on my pro controller is not on unless I'm in "Test Device Inputs" in Steam settings, should it be on?

Hopefully someone can help me with this, it's breaking my brain

#

Ok I'll go grab an xbox controller and test it. Are the problems mainly in the editor and once I make a build it'll work fine or do I need to fix these problems before I make a build?

austere grotto
#

I don't know, I've never worked with a switch pro controller

ivory bane
#

Switch pro works just fine with the new input system if you are willing to switch to it.

cursive tulip
#

The only issue is, that this F11FullscreenToggle does 3 times being executes while I only pressed "F11" once, inside of my InputActionControls.

austere grotto
#

First off you need to add the callback context parameter to your function

#

Then reassign it from the dynamic list in the PlayerInput thing

#

Then you can check the phase of the event in the code

cursive tulip
#

Press Only is the option.
BEcause I do not use Invoke CSharp Events, so calling just the fuction should be enough.

See how the event has CallbackContext as a parameter? You need to do that

cursive tulip
cursive tulip
# austere grotto It's true for Unity Events

Wait what, why?
I thought Invoke is only UI and Inspector based and the CSharp does only need those specified button code?
What is CSharp for then?

This makes it truely more complicated than I expected it.

#

That doesent seem be right just to get a simple F11 Kebind into it.
You have to get the input, put them in a awake, onenable, ondisable and then the actual InputAction.CallbackContext.

#

thats why I changed from Invoke Csharp to Invoke Unity, to avoid all of this.

#

its a lot of work to setup just for a simple Keyboard keybind and makes the code less-readable.

#

Is there a option or field in the InputActionControl or the Inspector to get directly the only one simple input of a Keyboard keybind?

#

What even is the difference of "Invoke CSharp Events" and "Invoke Unity Events"?

  • I thought its because CSharp need to access the keybind from the code while Unity Events have everything in the Inspector as button behavior.
#

Even ChatGPT told me that Invoke Unity Events are there to allow you to assign Unity Events directly in the Inspector while CSharp needs no make everything in code.

austere grotto
#

Yes unity events are to assign in the inspector

#

Invoke C# events is very different

cursive tulip
#

Its a lot with Awake, OnEnable and OnDisable just to initialize the Input System.

austere grotto
#

you only need that if you're manually subscribing to events on the action asset

cursive tulip
#

would you prefer Invoke Unity or Invoke C Sharp?

#

Cause I thought it would be better to use Invoke Unity instead of CSharp to make it more simple and the code more readable.

austere grotto
#

Invoke C# is not what you want to use, you don't even understand how to use it

cursive tulip
austere grotto
#

When it's in invoke C# events mode it gives you these events:
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.8/api/UnityEngine.InputSystem.PlayerInput.html#UnityEngine_InputSystem_PlayerInput_onActionTriggered
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.8/api/UnityEngine.InputSystem.PlayerInput.html#UnityEngine_InputSystem_PlayerInput_onControlsChanged
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.8/api/UnityEngine.InputSystem.PlayerInput.html#UnityEngine_InputSystem_PlayerInput_onDeviceLost
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.8/api/UnityEngine.InputSystem.PlayerInput.html#UnityEngine_InputSystem_PlayerInput_onDeviceRegained

#

if you were using anything besides these, you were basically doing something very different

#

almost nobody uses C# events mode

cursive tulip
#

Its all way more complicated than I ever expected.

austere grotto
#

I think you're just overcomplicating it in your head

#

this is all you need to do:

public void FullscreenToggle(InputAction.CallbackContext ctx) {
  if (!ctx.performed) return;

  // do the rest of your code
}```
#

then reassign the functioin from the inspector in the dynamic list, and voilka

cursive tulip
austere grotto
#

there's three phases:

started - the interaction started
performed - the interaction was performed
canceled - the interaction was canceled```
#

for a normal button press you'll get started and performed when the button is first pressed, then canceled when it is released

#

the behavior depends on the interactions you set up on the Input Action

cursive tulip
#

It seems out-of-place to have all three of them executed (by default) why not a "performed" behavior included by default, if you did not wrote any CallbackContext in the script?

#

In what situation would it be usefull to have all three of them (by default) noticed?

austere grotto
#

just telling you how to use it

cursive tulip
#

I understand it. I'm just wondering why Unity don't replace the property that executes the code 3 times with "performed" (by default).

austere grotto
#

they want to give you maximum flexibility

I'm having some trouble with setting up rebinding that's specific to an input type (ie. controller vs keyboard).
Right now I've got a method:

private void PerformInteractiveRebind(InputAction action, int bindingIndex, bool allCompositeParts = false)
    {
        playerInput?.currentActionMap.Disable();
        rebindOperation?.Cancel();
        void CleanUp()
        {
            Debug.Log("We desposed of the action");
            rebindOperation?.Dispose();
            rebindOperation = null;
        }

        if (isControllerLayout)
        {
            Debug.Log("Controller layout was enabled");
            
            rebindOperation = action.PerformInteractiveRebinding(bindingIndex)           
               .WithControlsExcluding("<keyboard>/anyKey")                                           
               .OnMatchWaitForAnother(.3f)
               //.WithCancelingThrough("<Keyboard>/tab")                
               .OnCancel(
               operation =>
               {

                       if (nextBindingIndex < action.bindings.Count && action.bindings[nextBindingIndex].isPartOfComposite)
                           PerformInteractiveRebind(action, nextBindingIndex, true);
                   }
               })
               .Start();

             Debug.Log("Controller layout was not enabled");
             rebindOperation = action.PerformInteractiveRebinding(bindingIndex)

                        if (nextBindingIndex < action.bindings.Count && action.bindings[nextBindingIndex].isPartOfComposite)
                            PerformInteractiveRebind(action, nextBindingIndex, true);
                    }
                })
                .Start();
             }



        // If it's a part binding, show the name of the part in the UI.
        var partName = default(string);
        if (action.bindings[bindingIndex].isPartOfComposite)
            partName = $"Binding '{action.bindings[bindingIndex].name}'. ";

        // Bring up rebind overlay, if we have one.
        rebindOverlay.SetActive(true);
        if (rebindText != null)
        {
            var text = !string.IsNullOrEmpty(rebindOperation.expectedControlType)
                ? $"{partName}Waiting for {rebindOperation.expectedControlType} input..."
                : $"{partName}Waiting for input...";
            rebindText.text = text;
        }       
    }```
#

This method triggers whenever a rebind button is pressed, and I pass the necessary values to rebind that.
However, if the isControllerLayout is enabled, I get an error that says a rebind operation is currently active, but it still lets me rebind I just don't get the overlay or text to trigger -- though the rebinded button no longer works at this point because it gets stuck waiting for a button to be pressed. If isControllerLayout is disabled, everything works perfectly fine and as expected.

#

It seems like I might be using .WithControlsExcluding("<keyboard>/anyKey") incorrectly, as that's the only difference between the two?

I think I'm completely blind... but how exactly do I call a method repeatedly while a button is held? (I'm using the new input system)

Hello, how do I detect the back button press on a phone and the swip (using the input system)??

blissful comet
#

How would I detect the release of a button from a CallbackContext? context.canceled is giving me false. I'm getting performed callbacks on press and release, I want to tell which is which

austere grotto
#

You should remove any that you have

#

that will leave you with the default interaction, which will do started/performed on press, and canceled on release

blissful comet
#

Got none

austere grotto
#

change it to button

blissful comet
#

I am not entirely certain what a pass through is, but that seems to make sense

#

it felt wrong to have to check !isPressed to subscribe to a release event

austere grotto
#

pass through just always gives you a performed with the new value of the control for any change

#

basically it doesn't do the whole interaction thing

blissful comet
#

Ah, okay

magic cove
austere grotto
#

you can also use the events to set a bool true/false and read that

magic cove
#

Something like this?

GLp3uXG.png
#

Clearly not considering that didn't work 🥴

austere grotto
magic cove
#

I wouldn't know, I'm just very confused lol

austere grotto
#

the way most people handle this is a Vector2 composite bound to a single action. Then you just have something like:

Vector2 moveInput;

void OnMove(InputValue iv) {
  moveInput = iv.Get<Vector2>();
}

void Update() {
  Move(moveInput);
}```
#

that would be for SendMessages mode

#

for unity events you'd have something like

void HandleMove(InputAction.CallbackContext ctx) {
  moveInput = ctx.ReadValue<Vector2>();
}``` and otherwise the same

Oh, cool. Thank you

I have a problem with the event systems.. When I switch from MultiplayerEventSystem to the regular EventSystem, the EventSystem will execute the last action executed by the MultiplayerEventSystem (e.g. a pointer click). I have no idea why this happens.

I've tried switching the event system in a later frame, it still repeats the action, even 100 frames later.

We've had this issue before with other actions as well, but I never dug too far. However, it's becoming a problem now that we have multiple screens with close buttons are on top of each other: when you click and then switch event system, it actually closes two windows instead of one.

#

the switch is done like this, simply

foreach(var multiEventSystem in _multiEventSystems)
{
    multiEventSystem .enabled = !bSingle;
}
_eventSystem.enabled = bSingle;
#

I've also tried adding a frame delay between deactivation of the multi event system and activation of the regular event system, but it still sends two pointer clicks 😦

#

I've found a "solution"! After enabling, if I disable and enable the input module, the double click doesn't happen.

_eventSystem.GetComponent<BaseInputModule>().enabled = false;
_eventSystem.GetComponent<BaseInputModule>().enabled = true;

I've got an issue trying to read a gamepad left analogue stick. Well, the reading part is fine but I'm using Unity Events and it's only firing once when the stick is moved rather than all the time. I've tried the Action Type set to Value and Pass Through. I've tried Control Type of Stick and straight up Vector2. It doesn't seem to matter if I have any Interactions setup (Hold or otherwise). Reading the phase, it seems to go through the correct sequence (Started->Performed->Cancelled)

austere grotto
#

The input system is for informing you about input, not for driving gameplay code execution

rare oriole
#

So what's the prescribed method for reading an analogue stick's state if it isn't Events?

austere grotto
#

You can use events just fine

#

Save the current value in a variable

#

Use that variable in Update

#

Alternatively, just read the input value directly in Update and skip the events

#

Up to you

rare oriole
#

So Events are clearly a bust for me in this context. It happily sets the variable which I can reference as much as I want in Update... BUT, the variable doesn't change as the analogue stick changes.
So how does one read the input value directly?

#

Right - ignore me. I think I've found a raft of tutorials

I'm having issues with my movement for unknown reasons. Whenever I hold a key and release it, the character moves for a little while longer. The longer I hold a key, the further they "float" afterward. Issue is only with a keyboard. Controllers work perfectly.

    private void Update()
    {
        float horizontalInput = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
        float verticalInput = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
        Vector3 movement = new Vector3(horizontalInput, verticalInput, 0f);
        movement.Normalize();
        player.transform.Translate(movement * moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
    }
#

I've asked my peers, I've asked ChatGPT, I've searched the internet. Normalize seems to cause it for some reason.

austere grotto
#

you should use GetAxisRaw instead

#

GetAxis applies some automatic smoothing

gaunt pond
#

Thanks! Seems to work!

#

Weird that controller worked fine tho.

austere grotto
#

I also recommend movement = Vector3.ClampMagnitude(movement, 1); instead of movement.Normalize();

I'll check it out. Thanks!

i called the function OnMovement like the SendMessage() displays

Hey I was just wondering how to switch the control scheme at runtime. I tried using SwitchCurrentControlScheme() but it keeps throwing me a null reference

Nvm I got it working

Hi, I'm not quite sure if this belongs to this channel because most questions here are about movement input whereas mine is like text input. I still hope its okay.
So I am currently working on a WebGL build which should be playable on mobile and desktop browsers. But now I ran into a problem that the keyboard won't show up on mobile devices when I click into an input field. Do I have to make a on screen keyboard myself or is it somehow possible to get the devices keyboard to show up and enter text into an input field?

austere grotto
#

however AFAIK WebGL is not officially supported on mobile devices

#

so it's not surprising you're running into issues.

queen rampart
#

Oh okay thanks. Then I will probably make it support for desktop only if it's too hard to do. And sry I missed the channel earlier when searing for the right one 😓

If i disable an InputActionMap() and then re-enable it, all of the keys that were held when it was disabled will continue to be held when re-enabled until that key gets pressed again

#

is there a way to release all of the currently held keys on an InputActionMap to prevent this?

I've got a scene where the left thumbstick only has forward/backword functional (left/right does nothing). It's possible that the following error would help resolve but I don't know what it means:

Library\PackageCache\com.unity.inputsystem@1.2.0\InputSystem\Plugins\UnityRemote\UnityRemoteSupport.cs(284,49): warning CS0252: Possible unintended reference comparison; to get a value comparison, cast the left hand side to type 'string'

#

ftr, the scene is being used in VRChat.

austere grotto
#

that warning is irrelevant

turbid dagger
#

Is there at least a way that i can release all held inputs on an inputactionmap

#

or deactivate an inputactionmap without causing all currently held inputs to get stuck

Do json files work on android? Also can you save images someway to a prefab or anything to save the image a user inputs from their android phone?

faint notch
#

Should i be using web requests? Or is there a path for the json file on android builds?

Does anyone have experience with programming a control mapper menu for the new Input System?

#

Can I target specific controls and remap them easily through code? I don't have much experience with the new input system.

#

Google hasn't turned up many results.

Not sure if it's been asked here before or not but I want to incorporate rebinding with the new input system but the way I have seen to accomplish it is not ideal in my eyes I rather not use magic strings for the maps I rather have a concrete implementation that uses the generated c# input actions class

I have one editor in which I edit a List from the base class, and accessing it through a SerializedProperty correctly sets up undo and redo.
I have another editor for which the base class has a List of objects, which in turn have a List like the one from the first editor base class. This time I have to access the second list by using FindPropertyRelative(). This seems to break the undo and redo system, because I can't undo/redo the elements in that list. Is there something I need to add?

Can anyone help me with this bug I'm suddenly getting when trying to connect an xbox controller to Unity?

<RI.Hid> Failed to get preparsed data: The operation completed successfully.
#

My Steam App ID is set correctly

#

Also this is returning an empty string:

Debug.Log(Input.GetJoystickNames()[0]);```
(But GetJoystickNames.Length is 1)
#

And it was working about a week ago when I was last testing controllers

#

And the controller is connecting to Windows & Steam just fine

#

Also I've never seen an error have the words "completed successfully" before lmao wtf?

#

I'm getting the same error with a pro controller as well. Possibly an error in Steamworks?

#

If I turn on Steam Input in Steamworks and Steam Settings then inputs are going through but it seems to rebind each key of the controller to a keyboard key. Not useful

#

But then if I turn it off then no inputs go through

#

Pfft ok I'm completely stuck. I don't know how I progress from here. Is there a way I can start opening up Unity/Steam/Windows Devices and see behind the scenes/into the memory to try and find the root cause? I really need a nudge in any direction

Fuck me, restarted Unity for like the 5th time (And restarted Unity Hub this time) and suddenly started working
Yeah I'm glad I don't have to touch Unity again after I finish this project

Unity 2021.3.1f1, using new Input System.
The same button that selects an upgrade from a menu also uses the player's active ability.

When the player selects an upgrade and the game unpauses, the player uses their active upgrade. I don't want choosing an upgrade to also use an ability the instant the game is unpaused.

When the upgrade menu is active, an upgrade control scheme is set. When the upgrade is chosen, the gameplay control scheme is set. It seems like a single button press is being used in both control schemes in the same frame.

What's the recommended solution?

I've implemented the Rebinding Action UI via the examples. The UI works perfectly, however, the user controls are not being properly rebound (and the input only responds to the old inputs). Does anyone have experience with this?

crimson crater
#

Is there a simple way I can find out what control scheme a InputBinding is part of?

#

I could probably hack a way using LINQ and madness but it would be preferable if there was a normal way

crimson crater
#

Found it, its InputBinding.groups

#

The overrides aren't applying to the controls, but everything about the rebinding works visually, with no bugs or errors. Any ideas?

opaque jewel
#

I think I found out why the overrides aren't applying but I'm in someone else's code base and am trying to troubleshoot

#

The controls the player is using are from the custom C# class generated, I believe

#

but the input rebinder is targeting the inputactionasset

#

what's the best way to reconcile this difference without redoing a very involved character controller

#

I think this is likely why the rebound controls are reflecting properly on the UI but not on the character

#

Is there a way to derive the UserControls wrapper from the InputActionAssets, or apply overrides to the instanced class?

#

If I could have the RebindActionUI element target the UserControls here that would help, but I think that would take a big overhaul? The other thing I could think of would be not using the WrapperClass, but we were intending to support local multiplayer, and having localized controls is important. Any ideas?
