thanks, i will try it

Hey, trying to implement input system with two control schemes - both are keyboard-only, one is for player 1, one is for player 2 - but unity is only registering actions from one of the control schemes, the scheme for player 1. Both are identical as far as I've been able to tell, so no idea what's going on here. Anyone have some wisdom?

Hey, for some reason, my Spin (double tap) returns 0, but it should return 1 or -1. Can someone help pls

"_playerControls.Player.Spin.performed += context => _shipMovement.SetSpinInput(context.ReadValue<float>());"

Hey all, I'm attempting to import Unity.InputSystem, which is installed via the package manager but getting this error.

Okay. Can you take a screenshot of the whole VS window with that script open?

limpid jewel
valid dragon
#

The whole window

#

But yes. This script

limpid jewel
#

I'm lost, what are we doing?

valid dragon
limpid jewel
valid dragon
#

Player? Is that your default assembly? Can you check what projects you have in the solution explorer?

#

It should be Assembly-cs or something like that by default.

#

Which makes me think that you are using an assembly definition somewhere

limpid jewel
#

oh

#

yea, I see where you're going

valid dragon
#

Yeah, it's not in the default assembly

#

You need to add dependencies to that assembly definition or put the script somewhere else.

limpid jewel
#

Sorry, what am I adding where?

valid dragon
#

Assembly reference in assembly definition asset

limpid jewel
#

hm, okay, nvm got it

#

thank you!

#

thanks again man @valid dragon

i installed the input system package. in my script, i initialized a var: "public InputAction cameraControls;". back in the editor, i added a "CameraHorizontal" action and bound it to Negative/Positive. then i enabled it "cameraControls.Enable();". but how do I access this action?

austere grotto
blazing shard
#

Yeah, but what after? .ReadValue? I tried all kinds of stuff but can't get it to work
input = cameraControls.ReadValue<Vector2>();

austere grotto
#

Is it a 1D axis?

#

then it'd be float example = cameraControls.ReadValue<float>();

blazing shard
#

2d composite, right stick to rotate the camera

austere grotto
#

Show how you set up the binding

#

right stick wouldn't/shouldn't be a composite

#

You said:

bound it to Negative/Positive
Which implies a 1D float axis to me

blazing shard
austere grotto
#

why not just make a regular binding to Right Stick?

#

After doing that - ReadValue<Vector2>() will work fine

blazing shard
#

just "add binding"?

austere grotto
#

yes

blazing shard
#

oh my fucking god

#

I'm the stupidest person in the world

#

I am doing my coding in a manualRotation() method

#

AND I FORGOT TO CALL THE METHOD ANYWHERE

What's a good method to handle multiple actions using the same input such that if the highest priority action is fired the action is "consumed". I have a buffer system for certain actions which works well for things like attacking but I'd rather do it with delegates or something so that the Input manager or whatnot doesn't have to resolve each input for all possible actions.

I want to avoid anything like:

private void ResolveButton(CallbackContext value){
  if (conditionA)
    ActionA();
  else 
    ActionB();
}

I'd much rather do something similar to:

...
ButtonAction.performed += ActionA;
ButtonAction.performed += ActionB;
...

but neither A nor B need to know information about each other and instead the invoker resolves via priority of some sort (above code by no means works, just for illustrating what I meant)

Furthermore for One button composites where another button is held as a modifier is there a suggested way to handle not invoking the one button input if the composite was fired? This kinda links to the above so if I find a solution to that it should solve both issues.

austere grotto
#

like you want one-time callbacks that just get invoked in order?

hollow light
austere grotto
#

You could use a SortedList (in lieu of C# having a proper PriorityQueue).

#

add them to the list, with a priority

#

always just fire the highest priority one

hollow light
austere grotto
#

yeah

hollow light
#

this answers the first issue fine which is great but for composite inputs with modifiers they're tied under separate inputs in the action map so do you have any idea how I could go about it?

#

found this, it works for consuming the button but not the modifier

#

How does the “hold” interaction work? It calls “started” when the button is pressed, “canceled” when released too early, and “performed” when held for long enough. How do I detect if the button was released after pressed for long enough though?

austere grotto
#

You can just set a flag when you get performed and make sure that flag is set in canceled

Hi there! Every time I add a new action to my input actions, I have to delete the generated C# class and create a new one otherwise I cant subscribe to it. Is this common? Am I doing something wrong? Thanks!

No it's not default. By default the domain is reloaded when entering playmode

hidden roost
#

thx ! its seems to work now. Should I enable Reload Scene 2?

austere grotto
#

I don't know if that matters

#

try it and see

hidden roost
#

anyway I have created a new proyect and its not enabled by default so idk

austere grotto
#

regardless, turning it back on should fix this problem afaik

If you want it reviewed then just post it. In the right channel of course.

This is for input system help obviously

#

For input settings, I've set the "supported devices" to only include "touchscreen." However, for convenience I'd like to be able to use "mouse" when playing in editor. How would I go about achieving that?

glass yacht
still trout
crisp smelt
still trout
#

this should help you in-editor

#

Wrap it with an #if UNITY_EDITOR to make sure its only in the editor

crisp smelt
#

I'll give that a shot later. I've already tried turning on simulating touch via input debugger window and that didn't work, so this might not work either, but will have to try to see.

#

I suspect that because mouse is removed as a supported device, there's nothing for it to simulate.

still trout
#

The editor will create a fake touchscreen and simulate mouse touches on that one if you enable it

crisp smelt
still trout
#

So the code line doesnt work either?

crisp smelt
#

Trying it atm.

#

Nope.

#

Just to make sure it's not something else in the project that's messing with it, I tried it on a fresh project:

  • Unity 2022 LTS, Input System, UGUI.
  • Set Input System's "Supported Devices" to contain only touchscreen.
  • Put some UI on the scene, make sure event system is using "Input System UI Input Module"
  • Enter play mode in editor, UI does not respond to mouse with either Input Debugger's "Simulate Touch Input From Mouse or Pen" or using TouchSimulation.Enable().
  • However UI does respond if you use device simulator.

#

For some reason pressing a trigger on the gamepad registers as "started" both when pressed and released

#

And yes, I tried to add "press" as an interaction

#

I also tried checking the phase of the input action callback context

The two fixes that are usually taught

I'm trying to implement a respawn system, and ive tried instantiating a new player object and destroying the old one. ive gotten my own systems to work with it, but it's not receiving any messages for input. ive tried using the debugger and the component is receiving input, but the gameobject isn't receiving the input

kindred whale
#

I'm working with the new input system, and I'm wondering if my approach would be fine, or if there are "gotchas" that I'm not considering.

private PlayerGameplayInput _playerInput= new PlayerGameplayInput();

private void SetupControls()
{
    var accelerate = playerInputActions.Gameplay.Accelerate.ReadValue<float>();
    var brake = playerInputActions.Gameplay.Brake.ReadValue<float>();
    _playerInput.Update(accelerate, brake);
}

private void Update()
{
    var accelerateValue = _playerInput.Accelerate;
}
private void FixedUpdate()
{
    var accelerateValue = _playerInput.Accelerate;
}

I'm reading the inputs, and setting the values in a struct called PlayerGameplayInput. Then, I'm accessing those values in both Update and FixedUpdate.
Is this a good approach to working with the inputs, or is there a better way to go about it?

I'm making 3D movement with the new input system, but my jump function doesn't work correctly. it doesn't jump most of the time, and when it does, it happens after a short interval of time. Here's my code:

private bool IsGrounded()
{
    return Physics.CheckSphere(check.position, 0.5f, ground);
}
private void Jump()
{
    if (input.Player.Jump.triggered && IsGrounded())
    {
        rb.AddForce(new Vector3(0, jump, 0), ForceMode.Impulse);
    }
}```
both methods are continuously called in FixedUpdate(), the jump input action is a button with initial state check.

austere grotto
#

You're probably having two PlayerInput components in the scene at once

#

They won't be able to bind to the same devices

#

Is there a reason you need to destroy and re-instantiate? Why not just reset the existing player object?

fierce compass
#

if this doesn't work out i'll refactor to do that instead

When I create an Input system asset settings, it doesn't create default actions as it's shown in the docs. Why?

The UI input module movement handling seems broken. If you receive multiple input events in a single frame, only the most recent event will be processed. This can result in input being dropped, which is especially noticeable when using the dpad to navigate a canvas at lower framerates.

private void OnMoveCallback(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
{
    ////REVIEW: should we poll this? or set the action to not be pass-through? (ps4 controller is spamming this action)
    m_NavigationState.move = context.ReadValue<Vector2>();

Exactly, it should, but it doesn't work, the keyboard doesn't appear for input.

Are you using Unity Remote?

Hello, we have recently released a game on Steam. Some of our players have reported experiencing random movements, as if their "WASD" keys are stuck. We are using Unity 2022.3.20f1 and Input System 1.7.0. We are unable to reproduce this issue in the editor or on our builds. The reporting users vary from laptop to desktop, and they are using Windows. They have tried reinstalling, unplugging controllers and keyboards, and disabling Steam Input. We are out of ideas and would appreciate any suggestions.

austere grotto
#

Ask those users if they have joysticks or gamepads plugged into their computers they forgot about.

spice gorge
#

They have tried unplugging everything and restarting the computer with no USB devices plugged in. Some uses builtin laptop keyboard and some are using external keyboard for their Desktop.

austere grotto
#

It's also possibly a bug in your code too,.

spice gorge
#

True, but I can't track it cause only small number of users are experiencing it. I am out of ideas tbh.

Is it possible to have my app respond to Xbox controller input when the window is not in focus on Windows 11?

crisp smelt
#

I turned off all other supported devices except touchscreen because of an unrelated bug with input system, in this situation how would I go about detecting back button on Android?

#

The usual way would be to:

((InputSystemUIInputModule)EventSystem.current.currentInputModule)
    .cancel.action.WasPressedThisFrame()

Or:

InputSystem.Keyboard.current.escapeKey.wasPressedThisFrame

Because it just treats back button as pressing the escape key. However, with keyboard removed as a supported device, that doesn't work anymore.
Any idea what to do?

Hi folks. Anyone got an idea why the editor spams me with the Error Input Axis Horizontal not set up, when all I got is prefabPlayer1[i].GetComponent<PlayerScript>().ControlSchemeX = "Horizontal_P1"; and the axis is declared as Horizontal_P1 inside the input manager? (btw ControlSchemeX is just a getter/setter for a String)

Also pretty weird because my input seems to work just fine and without any hiccups as far as I can tell. Nevertheless I'm worried about the spam I get with the above mentioned error.

Already thought of some kind of Awake vs Start issue, but that doesn't seem to be the case. (Version: 2022.3.25f1)

#

Not misspelled whatsoever, and also I can't find the String "Horizontal" (which the error mentions) anywhere with a project wide search - in fact the only occurrences are as a substring of "Horizontal_P1" if you will.

austere grotto
#

My guess would be it's the StandaloneInputModule

frank swan
austere grotto
frank swan
#

Yep

austere grotto

btw ControlSchemeX is just a getter/setter for a String

So I think I've ran into a bug.

  • Have an on screen, virtual gamepad and it works fine.
  • Refactor my code and use manual control schemes by turning off "auto-switch"
  • OnMove stops working for the gamepad input, yet meanwhile the Input Debugger picks it up fine. So it's just the event does not fire...
#

So basically, it picks up the data from the virtual gamepad it just doesn't fire OnMove. I've researched it and it appears to be a bug but I want to troubleshoot to make sure.

amber dove
#

Turning on auto-switch works, turning it off doesn't work.

Hi guys!
I decided to make a game in virtual reality but ran into an input problem. For the second day I don’t understand how to implement it. One YouTuber uses the input service in Steam VR, another uses the action service there. I would like to receive a code example (the basic controller setup has already been created). Please help me with this question.

hey I am getting this error:

UnityEngine.InputSystem.OnScreen.OnScreenControl:OnDisable```

I found these two threading regarding this same issue:
1. https://forum.unity.com/threads/could-not-find-active-control-after-binding-resolution.1403626/
2. https://discussions.unity.com/t/on-screen-joystick-lags-and-is-only-semi-responsive/256847

I tried fixes from the both threads but none seems to work. My setup includes an input action asset with keyboard related controls, which I later use for touch inputs using On-Screen Buttons, I also have one gamepad for joystick move using On-Screen Stick. And them I process it using C# events by creating an input action class from the input action Editor UI. Now this error is not consistent it sometimes comes and sometimes not. Have anyone else also encounter this issue? or is aware of how to fix it then please help.

Hey does anyone know why the <Keyboard>/backspace and <Keyboard>/delete bindings don't work for Mac keyboards? I need to do something when the play presses delete/backspace, but on the Mac keyboard I'm using I've got to hold fn and press delete for it to register even though when I listen for a binding and press the delete key the Input System registers it as <Keyboard>/backspace. Any ideas?

full forge
#

how can input be polled independently from framerate?
I tried setting it to fixedUpdate but it's missing input, tried doing it manually but then input stopped working altogether

#

and what's the call, then? surely not .WasPressedThisFrame

tulip tartan
#

WasPressedThisFrame inside update would be as granular as possible

#

Or isPressed

full forge
#

i think i found something. need to register to event then process them by hand

#

then we have event. time

tulip tartan
#

Having the polling methods is just a way for people to transfer from old input on the way to events

full forge
#

i think you're right

#

makes sense then that it's bound to frame

#

but after reading the oculus doc, doesn't seem possible to poll faster than 60hz, even for buttons 🤔

that doesn't sound right

IPointerEnterHandler, IPointerExitHandler
How do these interfaces work under the hood to 'know' when a mouse is hovering over something?

#

I'm having problems with virtual cursors returning the wrong device ID from them so I my idea to fix it is to try to write whatever unity is doing myself

# 
    public void OnPointerEnter(PointerEventData eventData)
    {
        Debug.Log(eventData.pointerId);
        UserUIObject userGameObject = ServersideConnectionManager.instance.GetUserUserUIObjectFromDeviceID(eventData.pointerId);
        Debug.Log(userGameObject.name);
        userGameObject.tooltip.ShowTooltip(tooltipText);
    }```
I've debugged this to heck and back and Im 100% certain my code is not the problem, the event.data is wrong
           ``` Debug.Log($"Virtual Mouse is not null - Pointer ID: {virtualMouse.deviceId}, Position: {virtualMouse.position}");```
Debugging the virtual cursor itself, everything shows exactly fine as expected, I can clearly look directly at the device hovering the thing being hovered
austere grotto
#

And it uses the InputModule to determine where the cursor is

safe copper
#

with the "new" input system does the controller joystick scale to deltatime automatically (using SendMessage if that changes anything)

austere grotto
#

the input system notifies you about the state of input devices

#

it is not there to drive gameplay logic

safe copper
#

wait I think I'm going crazy anyways

#

I'm so used to the whole thing about mice not needing deltatime applied that I was like wait doesn't a joystick need it but no because that's not how I handle it lol

#

sleep may be a good idea...

I have a pretty specific problem with ApplyBindingOverride. Basically I'm assigning a new binding to the "Confirm" action that is being used by the event system input module for the Submit (as seen in image). However, it literally doesn't work. Like, if I log the button after the ApplyBindingOverride it DOES say that it changed it, however I still Submit with the old binding. What is happening?

image.png
austere grotto
minor solstice
# 
InputAction confirmAction = inputActions.FindAction("Confirm");
if (confirmAction != null)
{
    confirmAction.Disable();
    Debug.Log(confirmAction.bindings[0]);
    confirmAction.ApplyBindingOverride(0, "<Keyboard>/n");
    Debug.Log(confirmAction.bindings[0]);
    confirmAction.Enable();
}
else
{
    Debug.Log("Confirm action not found!");
}

the second Log does print "keyboard n" as you would expect, but the change isn't actually applied

austere grotto
#

where did you get the inputActions reference?

minor solstice
#

in Awake I do inputActions = new InputMaster(); if inputActions is null

#

do note that if I use this exact same code, but for the Player action map and not for the Menus action map, it does work perfectly

austere grotto
minor solstice
#

why?

austere grotto
#

the input module is referencing the asset itself

minor solstice
#

oh you mean the event system input module is using a different instance

austere grotto
#

yes

#

you should get the instance it's using from here ^

#

and rebind with that instance

minor solstice

DONE

Hey! this has probably been asked several times before but Im currently converting my project from the old system to the new Input system. I have a class for all my inputs that ive made into a singelton so easily can check all the inputs from one place, but Im currently struggling to get the old function " getbuttondown" to work. Atm It triggers all the time the button is down and not only on the first frame

#

Ive tried multiple different interactions settings and actions but I cant figure it out :/

#

is there anyway to replicate the old Input.GetButtonDown method?

Hey, this is my current inputs, I have one problem, where I need to detect a button no longer being pressed. So when I press the button I wanna do "JumpButtonPressed" and when I release it I want to do "JumpButtonReleased". How would I handle that? I know how to do the pressing part but i didnt see an option for releasing/ onKeyUp in the Input manager. Whats the best way to do this? I assume maybe something with the holding option?

image.png

#

This seems to also not work

private void JumpButton(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
{
    if (context.performed)
    {
        Debug.Log("Pressed");
        OnJumpButtonPressed?.Invoke();
    }
    if (context.canceled)
    {
        Debug.Log("Canceled");
        OnJumpButtonReleased?.Invoke();
    }
}
#

Another solution I found is this and it is also not working:

private void JumpButton(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
{
    var control = context.control;
    var button = control as ButtonControl;

    if (button == null) return;

    if (button.wasPressedThisFrame)
    {
        Debug.Log("Pressed");
        OnJumpButtonPressed?.Invoke();
    }
    else if (button.wasReleasedThisFrame)
    {
        Debug.Log("Canceled");
        OnJumpButtonReleased?.Invoke();
    }
}
#

This solution also is not working:

private void JumpButton(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
{
    if (context.action.GetButtonDown())
    {
        Debug.Log("Pressed");
        OnJumpButtonPressed?.Invoke();
    }
    else if (context.action.GetButtonUp())
    {
        Debug.Log("Canceled");
        OnJumpButtonReleased?.Invoke();
    }
}

public static class InputActionButtonExtensions
{
    public static bool GetButton(this InputAction action) => action.ReadValue<float>() > 0;
    public static bool GetButtonDown(this InputAction action) => action.triggered && action.ReadValue<float>() > 0;
    public static bool GetButtonUp(this InputAction action) => action.triggered && action.ReadValue<float>() == 0;
}

I am certain I am also doing something wrong with my InputSettings

#

Turns out I am just stupid and I didnt set my Inputactions properly. You need to set this:

#

Maybe with the proper settings now more of the above solutions would work

Hey friends.

I'm using Unity's new input system for my game and when launching through Steam, it seems be recognising PlayStation controllers incorrectly, defaulting to Xbox icons. Going into the game's settings in Steam and disabling Steam Input fixes the issue, but I obviously can't expect every player to change it manually. Is there any way to force disable Steam Input for PS controllers through either Steamworks or Unity?

frigid ridge
#

Might want to set some sort for movement input bool and figure out whether to play sounds based on that in Update instead of raw input events.

austere grotto
#

You'd have to show the code that triggers this

#

Then it definitely shouldn't be based on input events

austere grotto
#

you need to share that link because the link you shared doesn't have it

#

in which animation event?

#

Two different ones?

Hey, I used the following code without PlayerInput component. Is there any downsides to my approach/code? Basically in player script I just read that public bool jump and do the logic there

Oh, wrong reply, sorry

austere grotto
#

It would probably be better if it just exposed the controls instance to other scripts to do what they need to do with

turbid olive
light schooner
#

Okay i will remove the null check

turbid olive
austere grotto
#

It can't be serialized

#

it's not serializable

turbid olive
#

Oh, exactly

austere grotto
#

Also the null check makes sense in OnEnable - but really the initialization should just go to Awake instead

#

Awake will only ever run once, so you wouldn't need the check there.

turbid olive
austere grotto
#

which can run multiple times

#

if the script is disabled/re-enabled

turbid olive
#

Oh, that's what you mean, I see

Anybody have some example repo that I could still look at for further reference? Preferably without PlayerInput component.

Looking into making a custom input device and Im running into some problems with initialization. There will only ever be one device of this class, and it will always be present. I have this code to add it if it does not already exist:

Unfortunately, it creates a new device on every script reload. The only devices in InputSystem.devices is the mouse and keyboard
Following this guide https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/InputSystem/blob/develop/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem/Documentation~/Devices.md and using Input System 1.7

image.png
GitHub
InputSystem/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem/Documentation~/Devices.m...

An efficient and versatile input system for Unity. - Unity-Technologies/InputSystem

#

Does anyone know how I can get the true state of if any device already exists?

austere grotto
zenith cairn
#

Returns null

austere grotto
#

What makes you think it's creating more than one device at a time?

zenith cairn
#

The input debugger lists CustomInputDevice, CustomInputDevice1 etc

#

one more for every domain reload

austere grotto
#

Interesting.. maybe a bug?

austere grotto
#

but maybe the devices exist but need to be Destroy()ed

zenith cairn
#

I think the devices from previous domain load only get added in sometime after BeforeSceneLoad?

zenith cairn
austere grotto
zenith cairn
austere grotto
#

Or in a Start() on a script somewhere?

zenith cairn
#

I could try destroying them on teardown, is there a clean way to do that?

zenith cairn
#

Will see if it works

austere grotto
zenith cairn
#

Can do, I was trying to avoid gameobjects cause this is a pretty static thing, but if it works it works

austere grotto
#

RuntimeInitializeOnLoad can be kinda sketchy

#

es[ecially when it comes to going in and out of edit/playmode in the editor

zenith cairn
#

Oh, actually, that is a bit rough, I need the device to be added in editor. Is there a way to make start do that?

austere grotto
#

Why does it need to be added in edit mode

zenith cairn
#

Hmm, I was thinking it would be convenient to test and debug

#

but I guess I can run to get it to show up in the Input Debug window

#

That should be fine actually

#

Thanks for your help!

zenith cairn
#

Hmm, any idea why I cant have a Dpad as a child of a device? Does a Dpad need to be defined as its own device? How would I even do that?

InvalidOperationException: Cannot instantiate device layout 'Dpad' as child of '/CustomInputDevice'; devices must be added at root

This is the state:

#

Also worked fine when initialized in editor, but fails in this way when initializing in play mode

Does anyone else have the joystick control not working on unity remote (both ios and android device) problem here?

foggy kettle
#

my submit and other gamepad button actions are not going through, (south,north,east,west buttons)

junior patrol
#

but your mouse input works fine like mine right? like when you move the joysitck on the game window with your mouse cursor

foggy kettle
#

yes

#

I'm plugging my gamepad and south north etc buttons do not work for some reason

#

I see both input systems in action though, and the game is not converted to the new input system completely

#

So I'm blaming that

#

My game's resources are not functioning properly either

#

So idk, maybe it's something else

junior patrol
#

I did some google searches about this and some forums said that the unity remote app does not work correctly with thee new input system yet, I want to make sure that it actually the case here before I officially lose my mind on this

foggy kettle
#

I'm thinking you should plug your pad to pc instead

#

Because all remote does is test mobile input

#

and not pads plugged to mobile

junior patrol
#

well I get some input, I mean the UI buttons work and I can move the joystick(UI image with on-screen joystick script) but while I can move the player with the same setup on PC with my cursor, the player does not move on Unity remote.

#

I did exactly the same things on the tutorial videos on youtube they make it look easy it works fine on both but not on my project no sir

foggy kettle
#

I'm having the same result tbh

#

I'm thinking this is not about method

thick imp
#

In my control scheme for gamepad there's this:

        {
            "name": "Gamepad",
            "bindingGroup": "Gamepad",
            "devices": [
                {
                    "devicePath": "<Gamepad>",
                    "isOptional": false,
                    "isOR": false
                },
                {
                    "devicePath": "<Mouse>",
                    "isOptional": true,
                    "isOR": false
                }
            ]
        }

I would like to not have the mouse in there as optional, because if I join with the keyboard afterwards the mouse isn't bound to the keyboard player...

How should this be solved?

#

Nvm, found it. In the control scheme options, just didn't find them .. ^^"

slender cedar
#

im trying to make a previousAction key empty with "" when rebinding a key that is a duplicate:

            previousBinding.overridePath = "";
            previousAction.ApplyBindingOverride(previousBinding);

It doesnt apply at all. This does work with composite parts, like this work perfectly:

previousAction.ApplyBindingOverride(previousAction.GetBindingIndex(previousBinding), "");

Why would this second line work with composite while i can't do anything with a single button?

#

And why im not using this second method is because when i try to access single button with the index it show me index 30 but button has 2 index, not sure why its even getting index 30 in the first place. It come from the same actionMap/action key

#

One week im into this trying to rebind key, i wonder if it could be made harder?

#

And i checked all tutorials online, the sample from unity example, readed the doc over 10 times completly, still can't find a solution for this. None of the tutorials and examples work as it should.
Which make me wonder, is this production ready?

#

Anyone got rebinding to work properly with all key with duplicate and all?

Question for the new input system what is the best way to handle cross scene actions? Different PlayerInput objects on each scene? Something more custom? Or hooking up PlayerInput to a DoNotDestroy?

austere grotto
#

"cross scene actions" is pretty vague.

#

Typically for anything beyond a prototype or if doing local multiplayer, I wouldn't recommend PlayerInput at all

zenith cairn

I just installed the new input system following the instructions and pressed the button in Project Settings / Input System Package to create the default asset. The default asset was created but now all i get in the project settings window is the input sytem settings (the tab that starts with Update Mode at the top) and I cannot find the actions editor

austere grotto
#

you're looking at project settings

#

Your input actions asset would have been created in your asset folder

harsh wren
#

sure i can find the asset but how do i open the actions editor?

You click on the asset

#

double click it

is it supposed to be in the project settings window?

no

screenshot your full unity editor

austere grotto
harsh wren
#

i'm double clicking the "InputSystem.inputsettings.asset" that was created

That's not an input action asset

#

Usually i just create them by right clicking in the project window -> Create -> Input Actions

#

Or from the Assets -> Create menu

which guide

#

link it

that also describes the "button in project settings"

austere grotto

Are you using version 1.8?

This is the usual way ^

that whole concept of a "default project wide settings asset" is brand new in 1.8

something was wrong and had to leave, so couldn't respond.

unity version is 2022.3.19f1
and input system is 1.7.0.

both seem to be up to date

wicked yoke
#

currently I am using a list of strings

#

and each item is a different frame

#

for example 6L is right and Light attack on the same frame

#

I can also do neutral stance but I figured for this demonstration it'll be cleaner if I just don't have it appear

#

My only idea is a system to check when the button is held and released

#

but idk how to even check that

#

would make it look a lot cleaner tho

#

Here's the code

shit i just realized the system i have now will not work if I have charge inputs

I might need to make 2 seperate buffers for directions and buttons

so that way if you input a button, you don't remove charge

unity Editor vers 2022.3.8f1
Input system vers 1.7.0
unity XRIT 2.5.2

So, I'm currently designing mapping for my controllers, and i used to own an oculus rift which has a joystick, a joystick press, and an A, B, X, and Y button, at 2 per controller.

using the unity input system, id like to give Vive users a similar concept.
see the image for the idea id like to implement.

ideally id like to use the action map panel, but if i need to code it i can, but i don't exactly know how to approach it.

Hi, I have this script:

skipSet = playerControls.actions["SkipSet"];
skipSet.Enable();
skipSet.performed+=_=>SkipDialogue();

skipAll = playerControls.actions["SkipAll"];
skipAll.Enable();
skipAll.started+=_=>SkipEntireScene();
skipAll.canceled+=_=>CancelSkip();

I have to use the input actions like this because I am using the Input Rebind sample that Unity provides for their new Input System, and it apparently doesn't work with a Generated C# Class. However, this causes a NullReferenceException error when exiting playmode and reloading the scene. Even unsubscribing the functions from the event doesn't prevent the error. Anyone experience this issue?

austere grotto
#

You just need to make sure you're rebinding the correct instance

#

As for your null reference you probably are not unsubscribing properly

#

Since you're using lambda that's almost definitely the case

#

It's not really possible to unsubscribe with a lambda

#

Unless you save it to a variable and reuse it

#

You need to unsubscribe the same instance that you subscribed

how can i detect if the player presses a specific button on the keyboard/gamepad using the new Input System? usually i create Input Actions and define input maps, actions and keybinds, but i don't want to create an entirely new action just for a single key-press in the entire game which happens only once. lets say that in the end of the game, i want to check if the player currently pressed B (keyboard) or Left Trigger (gamepad) in this particular frame. can i check it via code?

# wicked yoke My only idea is a system to check when the button is held and released

Im not sure I fully understand how your system works, at the moment it looks like you just have rows of "L" and "6" rather than "6L" as a combo row, unless this is intentional? You can check for the state of input with wasPressedThisFame and wasReleasedThisFrame, as well as IsPressed() for continuous input, or if you know the type of your input, you can check for changes of ReadValue<T>() - if your string logic doesnt really change, maybe you can store them in a dictionary instead of needing to do a switch check, for example, (assuming CurrentInput.Light is a enum of some kind) Dictionary<InputManager.InputTypeEnum, string> someInputMapper = new(), so you can initialize with someInputMapper[CurrentInput.Light] = "L" or someInputMapper.Add(CurrentInput.Light, "L"); for example, similar for your Vector2 switch, if you dont need to modify the order you could use a stack or queue (depending on the order you need to read from it) to then add rows from your dictionary, this way you end up with rows of for example "6L"

If those inputs are from a action asset, you could use .started and .cancelled as your input states and have them sub to a function that can do the "add to queue/stack using dictionary" logic - another option is giving these tags like "L" and "(-1, 1)" just a number and use that number as an ID, so "14" can always refer to "6L" and 15 can always refer to "(-1, 1)" for example, if you wanted to try and not depend on strings (but I could be misunderstanding what your asking)

Hi, I'm trying to follow this guide for key rebinding using the Input System: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csqVa2Vimao

It depends which instance of your asset you're rebinding, and which instance the rest of your game is using

Anyone figure out a good way to do key rebinding for keybinds that have modifier keys? For example, I have a keybind ctrl+p, but I want my players to be able to remove the ctrl part if they want, and vice versa.

I currently have a working rebind UI and everything, but the PerformInteractiveRebinding records one button at a time according to how many composites you have. But I'd rather just have a general record feature and let users completely customize their keybinds to any number of modifiers/buttons

ye

Oh then it's the name of the generated C# class from his asset

E.g. Player Input can only bind one input map, at least from what I gather from the documentation. Meaning if you want to modularize your controls, you can't use Player Input, you have to reimplement it and bind the input maps directly

It makes plenty of sense if for example you accidentally have a duplicate script in your scene

and one isn't, because you didn't set up the references

Also - OnEnable on the other script can run before Awake on this script

inland quail
#

ahhhh

#

alright

#

Let me look at that

neon bay
#

Why is this not working:

    private void OnEnable()
    {
        InputSystem.onDeviceChange += OnDeviceChange;
    }

    private void OnDisable()
    {
        InputSystem.onDeviceChange -= OnDeviceChange;
    }

private void OnDeviceChange(InputDevice device, InputDeviceChange change)
{
    if (device is Gamepad || device is Joystick)
    {
        UsingController = true;
        Debug.Log("Device Changing to Controller");
    }
    else if (device is Keyboard || device is Mouse)
    {
        UsingController = false;
        Debug.Log("Device Changing to Keyboard and Mouse");
    }
}

I expect it to properly get called when I switch from my controler to keyboard and vice-versa during my game. But It seems to only do it once in the start or very irregularly? I would like it to trigger on each button press on a different input device, like intended, right?

austere grotto
#

That doesn't sound like "on each button press on a different device"

#

that sounds like... when you connect/disconnect/plug in/unplug devices

neon bay
#

Hmm, is there one to achieve what I want?

austere grotto
neon bay
#

Yeah I will try that, thanks!

#

Cause with how it is right now it seems to work when turning on the controller

#

But when turning it off it doesnt switch back to keyboard

#

So having it actually react in realtime to whatever your last used input device is would be nice

#

Not the one that was last connected

neon bay
# 

private void Movement(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
{
    Horizontal = context.ReadValue<Vector2>().x;

    switch (Horizontal)
    {
        case > 0:
            Horizontal = 1;
            break;
        case < 0:
            Horizontal = -1;
            break;
    }

    InputDevice deviceUsed = context.control.device;
    if (deviceUsed is Keyboard)
    {
        Debug.Log("Keyboard");
    }
    else if (deviceUsed is Gamepad)
    {
        Debug.Log("Gamepad");
    }
}
#

this works by getting it from each individual pressed buttons callback context

#

and then I will just pass that along and switch it if it changes I guess

#

works fine for me

I'm using 2022.3.20f1 version and I made sure to assign correct bindings to correct action. I picked this function inside Player Input component but it just don't do anything. I followed CodeMonkey's tutorial exactly how he did but I can't get this function to work. And I may be too blind to see if this is asked before.

    Debug.Log(context.phase);

Hello. I have a problem. In my Android version game, I want to perform an action that requires holding the screen for a slingshot-like drag. But since I'm somewhat new, I don't know how to do this in the Input System. What method or logic can I use to detect screen pressure?

#

I've been stuck for 3 days XD

austere grotto
livid glade
#

How do I use this mode on the player input component?

image.png
austere grotto
#

Almost nobody uses that mode TBH

livid glade
rapid sky
#

Can someone please help me? What am I doing wrong? For some reason it does not recognize the Interact action, my Move and Jump works but for some dumb reason the Interact isn't being recognized and keeps giving error.

Untitled.pngasdasdasd.png

#

using the new input system with these settings
pressing a button calls the event twice instead of once

image.png
#

I would imagine "release only" sends a signal just on release, but it sends 2

austere grotto
#

Don't ignore the phase in the Callback Context

thorn valley
#

when you push a button you have a transition form 0-1 and a transition from 1-0 when you relrease the button

#

Why is it that when the trigger behaviour is set to release only

#

that OnAccept is still called twice? @austere grotto

#

to be clear, it is called twice when the button is released

#

I would expect it to call only once

#

(with the tigger behaviour set to press, I would expect it to trigger once, but as soon as you press

and with it set to press and release, I would expect it to call onAccept once when pressed and once when released)

austere grotto
#

You'll want to switch to UnityEvents mode on PlayerInput if you want to disambiguate it

#

Release only does performed on release instead of on press

#

That's the only difference

#

It still does the phase

I have 2 actions in my Action map:

  • Leftclick
  • Shift + Leftclick
#

Both are Actions with one modifier but for some reason its not working

#

Shift + Leftclick is working

#

But also now at the same time the leftclick is being called. So I added shift to the normal leftclick aswell as a modifier but added the Invert processor to make it so that that one only fires if shift is NOT held

#

But for some reason that is not working at all. What am I doing wrong?

Hi, I already got a simple working movement script, but I cannot figure out how to add Jumping. Anyone wanna help?

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

public class PlayerController2 : MonoBehaviour
{
    PlayerControls controls;
    Vector2 move;
    public float speed = 10;

    void Awake()
    {
        controls = new PlayerControls();

        controls.Player.Move.performed += ctx => move =
        ctx.ReadValue<Vector2>();
        controls.Player.Move.canceled += ctx => move = Vector2.zero;
    }

    private void OnEnable()
    {
        controls.Player.Enable();
    }

    private void OnDisable()
    {
        controls.Player.Disable();
    }

    void SendMessage(Vector2 coordinates)
    {
        Debug.Log("Thumb-stick coordinates = " + coordinates);
    }

    void FixedUpdate()
    {
        Vector3 movement = new Vector3(move.x, 0.0f, move.y) * speed * Time.deltaTime;
        transform.Translate(movement, Space.World);
    }
}
#

This is my current Action Map 🤗

austere grotto
viscid nova
#

A little bit of both. I know how jumping physics work with the old system, but I can't seem to figure out how to get it to work with the new one

#

My guess was that I should do something along the lines of this:

    void Jump(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
    {
        Debug.Log("Jump method called.");
        if (isGrounded)
        {
            Debug.Log("I'm Jumping");
            rb.AddForce(Vector3.up * Mathf.Sqrt(jumpHeight * -2.0f * gravity), ForceMode.VelocityChange);
        }
        else
        {
            Debug.Log("Not grounded, can't jump.");
        }
    }

But idk how to correctly call this or if this is the best way to do it

austere grotto
#

Also I highly recommend NOT to mix up transform.Translate and Rigidbody motion

#

you should really be using the Rigidbody for everything.

viscid nova
#

So smth like this in awake, but than how do I add this Jumping force to my player's Y

controls.Player.Jump.performed += Jump;
controls.Player.Jump.canceled += Jump;
austere grotto
#

that means you'll jump when you release the button too

austere grotto
#

that's the whole point

viscid nova
#

Ye fair 😶 😂

viscid nova
austere grotto
#

just controls.Player.Jump.performed += Jump;

viscid nova
#

Alright, I'll try it out

austere grotto
#

really best practice would be this:

void OnEnable() {
  controls.Player.Jump.performed += Jump;
}

void OnDisable() {
  controls.Player.Jump.performed -= Jump;
}```
viscid nova
#

Alright it works now tnx!
How would I do the movement with the rigidbody instead of the .translate in this case though?

    void FixedUpdate()
    {
        Vector3 movement = new Vector3(move.x, 0.0f, move.y) * speed * Time.deltaTime;
        transform.Translate(movement, Space.World);
    }
}```

I have a problem about get mouse inputs. When i use getAxis() method for get mouse horizontal inputs, value unexpectedly jumps to higher or lower value than it should. I dont understand why. But i try something to fix the situation. When i use float value instead of time.Deltatime, there is no value jump. i have to use time.Delta time for trustable rotation movement for every device. what do i have to do for fix this issue. anyone know the solusion.

#

No such input was given with the mouse. This rotation occurs in only 1 frame. In other words, rotation is made at very high speed.

It's absolutely wrong

Mouse input is already framerate independent

Hi, I have this problem and I don't know how to solve it or aboard it. My 2D Game is show as UI using a Raw Image object that reproduce a RenderTexture inside a Canvas. Also I have a Joystick inside the canvas that you can use to move the player. The signs of my game have a collider so when you are close and make a click it shows a dialogue. How can I made that when my mouse or touch pointer is hover the joystick the signs dialogue functionality stop working?I think something like the joystick consume the event mouseDown and make it stop spread, but I don't know how to make this or either if there is a better way to do that

Well your commented out code attempts to do that

#

But it's commented out

#

And not used

placid glacier
#

it doesnt work

austere grotto
#

We you'd also have to change the line that sets the position

#

And also it won't work properly if you're using a perspective camera

placid glacier
#

All these terms are very new to me

#

What is a perpective camera

austere grotto
#

A camera with its projection mode set to perspective

#

As opposed to orthographic

placid glacier
#

ortho means 90º?

austere grotto
#

No

placid glacier
#

what does it mean then?

#

where can i learn more how to move stuff?

#

this part ofEvent Handling and camera have been very difficult for me to grasp

placid glacier

I followed this tutorial but now for some reason everything gest teleported to the middle and it barely moves

Hello, I have a simple script set up to pause and unpause my game. It works on pressing the ESC key. However, I want to add the "START" button on my Xbox controller to also do the same thing, I tried doing this from the script but it didn't work, any ideas?

neon bay
#

Im using the new Input System for Controller inputs, I found it much easier than doing it manually here

tame oracle
#

I.E: ESC = START

neon bay
#

No for the Input System you define action maps and actions and can assign specific buttons from Keyboard/ Controller to certain actions

#

You can then subscribe to these actions like events that get invoked when any assigned button is pressed

tame oracle
neon bay
#

one sec i will get an example from my code

tame oracle
#

Am I doing this right haha

    public Inputs Inputs;

        if (Instance == null) { Instance = this; }

        Inputs = new Inputs();

        ...

        Inputs.PlayerMovement.Jump.performed += ctx => JumpButton(ctx);
    }

    public event Action OnJumpButtonPressed;
    public event Action OnJumpButtonReleased;
    private void JumpButton(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
    {
        CheckInputDevice(context.control.device);

        if (context.action.GetButtonDown())
        {
            OnJumpButtonPressed?.Invoke();
        }
        else if (context.action.GetButtonUp())
        {
            OnJumpButtonReleased?.Invoke();
        }
    }
neon bay
#

From the Input asset you need to tick a box that says "generate c# code" or something

#

And then you can use these in code like I did above

#

In your case it would be:

Inputs.*NameOfYourActionMap*.Pause.performed += Pause();

...

private void Pause(){}
tame oracle
#

Ohh I see

#

I think I understand how to do this

#

Thank you very much for taking the time to help

neon bay
#

There is a lot of tutorials on youtube for this aswell

#

They probably explain it much better

#

You should watch one of those

#

With this system you can also easilly setup things like: Hold, Tap, DoubleTap, Button Combinations

#

And If you need extra info you can pass the context to the function like I did in my example where I want to see if the jump button was pressed or released

So define it in InputSystem then invoke it in script

I'll watch a video like you said, and maybe check some more code from people who did it

#

Is there any built-in way to make the Vector2 InputAction return (0, 0) when all 4 keys of the usual WSDA binding are pressed?

#

It returns (0, y) when both W and S are pressed simultaneously, but doesn't seem to return 0 for the 4th pressed key

#

Basically, I'm referring to this custom logic with GetKey, where people either increase or decrease the value by 1 according to the key pressed using 4 separate conditions

austere grotto
#

Are you sure your keyboard can actually handle those particular 4 keys being pressed at once?

turbid olive
#

Do other keyboards usually handle this?

#

If so, my game should implement the logic for the people that might be able to press all 4 keys

#

Thank you for your help

Good afternoon,
Im trying to figure out the input system and happened upon a weird behaviour. In my following setup, the first click after starting playmode and the first click after alt-tabbing back in to unity always returns a Ve2.zero for the touchposition. This causes the drag'n drop interaction with the chair to only work with the second click onwards. Any idea why the position of the first click returns Ve2.zero?

#

This is probably just because you've lost focus from the game window

#

Clicking on the game window restores focus

#

but the touch input simulator may get messed up by this

heavy jewel
#

what events are there to subscribe to for the Hold interaction?

image.png
austere grotto
#

started performed canceled

#

the interaction determines when each is invoked

heavy jewel
#

Is started when its been held for hold time or is it it when the button is first clicked, and then performed is for when it has hit the holdtime?

austere grotto
#

the latter

uncut swift
#

I'm making a rhythm game and have a max of 8 keys and each button basically does the same thing but it just calls a function on an object in a list at a different index. but I'm not really sure how to handle this code. do I really need to make 8 different functions with the same code but just an int that is different? I feel like there's a better way of doing things but I can't figure it out

You need to add a layer of abstraction between the input handling and the gameplay logic

So I don't have to rehash it

Bizarre question but not sure what to do. I am trying to test my x box controller input scheme and stuff but the player input is showing that its like constantly switching between my mouse and gamepad control schemes causing problems (assumably because they are both plugged in even when mouse is not moving). Any way to fix this I felt like this is how you would normally implement this system

austere grotto

Is that not the purpose of it?

light pawn

I figured it out, you have to add the mouse as an optional to the scheme

@glass yacht cool, got a good repro. Seems to be much worse when I'm streaming the game on Discord for some reason. It persists even when using manual polling each Update. Pretty weird huh?

Very weird, kinda looks similar to when an application is unfocused, so yeah, a polling rate problem 🤔

So we're doing a playtest now and nobody else is having this issue.

But also it's not affecting other games

(afaict, I will try some more)

both, but that was the build.

yeah, definitely not happening in other games, so it's something in Unity :-(

I'm building a main menu with a submenu using the new Input System. I've got both menus in the same scene, and navigation/selection works fine with a single EventSystem and the Input System UI Input Module.

My question is: What's the best way to handle UI navigation when the submenu opens? Should I:

-> Use the same Action Map for both menus and just re-target the actions to the submenu buttons?
-> Create a separate Action Map for the submenu and switch Action Maps when it's opened?
-> Is there a way to temporarily disable navigation in the main menu while the submenu is active?
I'm looking for guidance on the most efficient and recommended approach for this scenario. Thanks in advance!

Got told to ask this here, hopefully someone can help. I'm using Unity's new input system's split-screen implementation, as it's really convenient and easy to setup. It's amazing how fast it is to get something running. Only issue i'm having is the little control you get on the screens' positions, and most importantly relative size. As an example it would be impossible to achieve an effect like it takes two's camera system where if a player triggers an important event, his portion of the screen gets bigger to cover 70% or 80% of the screen. How could I do this without rebuilding the whole thing from the ground up? Editing unity's script wouldn't be too bad but any change would just get overridden. Ideas?

austere grotto
#

Alternatively copy that script to a new file and use that

austere grotto

#

That's the code that I am using. It's similar with other inputs, but just so you can see how this would work.

public class UserInput : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Vector2 LookInput { get; private set; }

    private InputAction _lookAction;

    void Awake()
    {
        _lookAction = _playerInputActions.actions["Look"];
    }

    void Update()
    {
        LookInput = _lookAction.ReadValue<Vector2>();
    }
}

public class PlayerLookController : MonoBehaviour
{
    private Vector2 GetMouseInput() => new Vector2
    {
        x = UserInput.Instance.LookInput.x,
        y = UserInput.Instance.LookInput.y
    };
} ```
#

I apologize for the delay.

#

When I was using standard input it worked just fine. ```cs
private Vector2 GetMouseInput() =>
new Vector2
{
x = Input.GetAxisRaw("Mouse X"),
y = Input.GetAxisRaw("Mouse Y")

        };

austere grotto
hot quail
#

My bad

hot quail
#

I solved the problem

#

I had to change Action Type to Value instead of Passthrough

#

So my explanation here would be that, when using **Passthrough **it requires some type of change (in my case, that change was with **keyboard **which Action Type was also passthrough), while **Value **doesn't require any change and is instantly captured.

up/left/down/right composite or something like that

I'm trying to create a UI for each local user in my game. I'm using the MultiplayerInputSystem and a custom UIInputModule that can bind to different InputUsers. This is my code for binding it, which has worked for regular player movement, but isn't working for UI for some reason (all players can control every player's cursor). Ignore some of the code that's specific to the game, but I can't figure out why this isn't working properly

#

I made sure that all my inputs have control schemes and that the inputs are being properly subscribed and that all looks fine

#

everything works perfectly here except for the fact that using either keyboard or controller will control every player's controls

#

I have also used breakpoints to confirm that the BindControls method is not throwing any errors or returning early

round vessel
#

As far as I understand if I put WASD into one "Movement" it returns a float or smth

#

Especially the "GetKeyUp" part im struggling

round vessel
#

Space or the button doesnt work

austere grotto
round vessel
#

Gotta move it?

austere grotto
round vessel
#

Oh

#

Is there no global function

#

Or can I just put it on multiple objects

austere grotto
#

You're using PlayerInput, which has a very specific way of doing things

#

no you cannot have multiple PlayerInputs unless you have multiple players

round vessel
#

But two different scripts need the input

austere grotto
#

proxy it to the other script then

#

or use a different approach

round vessel
#

Proxy?

#

Idk im extremely new to this

austere grotto
# 
void OnUp(InputValue val) {
   someOtherScript.SomeFunction();
}```
#

e.g.

round vessel
#

Aight thanks

round vessel
austere grotto
#

PlayerInput also has different modes

austere grotto
round vessel
#

Aight thanksss

austere grotto
#

the better approach though is to use input actions properly

#

which again, can be done many ways

round vessel
#

Tell me about it

#

I dont know shit

#

And so far its a real headache

austere grotto
#

You need to spend time learning it

#

I gave you the appropriate links. YOu need to experiment with the different approaches

#

I can't distill my years of experience to you immediately.

round vessel
#

No no like

#

Not all about it

#

I got it tho

#

so if I wanted to do for gamepad its Gamepad.current.movement.isPressed?

#

How will I turn the gamepad into four inputs tho

austere grotto
#

it's not 4 inputs, it's a composite

#

which gives a Vector2

#

Also "the gamepad" is a device which has MANY controls on it.

#

Not just the joystick

round vessel
#

And how am I suppose to use that to move

austere grotto
#

A Vector2?

#

Seems pretty straightforward

round vessel
#

I mean this is my movement code
rb.velocity += dir.normalized * speed;

austere grotto
#

yeah so

#

dir

#

that's a vector

round vessel
#

Its a vector3

#

Im thinking if the vector2 given is > 0.1 then go

austere grotto
#

Ok well it's up to you to translate the input vector into whatever direction vector you actually want to move in.
That part has literally nothing to do with the input system whatsoever

round vessel
#

But that wont allow for directions

austere grotto
#

Vector2 is x, y

round vessel
#

how do I know what values it gives

#

Im guessing if I put the stick forward it gives a certain value

austere grotto
#

That's a nonsensical question. It IS the value

round vessel
#

what

austere grotto
# 
Vector2 inputDir = Gamepad.current.movement.ReadValue();```
#

inputDir is the direction

#

at least of the joystick

round vessel
#

What would moving it forward give me?

austere grotto
#

(0, 1)

round vessel
#

Backwards?

austere grotto
#

(0, -1)...

round vessel
#

0 -1?

austere grotto
#

DO you know how vectors work?

round vessel
#

Yeas but I dunno the values if right and left yknow

#

What about right

#

is it -1 or 1

austere grotto
#

I don't know why you're quizzing me about this

#

just try it out

round vessel
#

What

austere grotto
#

Debug.Log

round vessel
#

Oh yeah

#

Sorry im stupid

austere grotto
#

Or just you know, think about it:

1200px-2D_Direction_Vectors.png
round vessel
#

Oh

#

In my head a vector 2 is a 2 number

#

Lmfao

austere grotto
#

Yes

#

two numbers

#

that make up a vector

round vessel
#

No like thats it

austere grotto
#

which is a direction

#

That is it

round vessel
#

I mean in my head thats it without more explanation

austere grotto
#

they're coordinates in space

round vessel
#

So like a vector 10 is just 10 numbers

austere grotto
#

I mean fundamentally yes they're just numbers

#

the meaning we assign to them comes later

#

and is just one way to interpret the numbers

#

For example a Vector3 could represent a position in space, or it could represent rgb color, or it could represent euler rotation angles

round vessel
#

I see

#

Giving me error
Vector2 inputDir = Gamepad.current.Movement.ReadValue();

image.png
austere grotto
#

or leftStick

#

whichever one you want

round vessel
#

Ah nice I was searching for that

#

What? Im using UnityEngine.InputSystem;

image.png
austere grotto
#

anyway you shouldn't need to make a StickControl variable or anything. Just Vector2 moveInput = Gamepad.current.leftStick.ReadValue();

round vessel
#

Both

#

oh

#

Ok so

#

Can I do smth like
If moveInput == (0, 1)
forward controls

austere grotto
#

you could do that but that's an extremely inefficient way to do it

#

Typically you'd just do something like

Vector3 movementDir = new (inputDir.x, 0, inputDir.y);
rb.velocity = movementDir * speed;```
round vessel
#

But I also ahve htis thing

#

Vector3 dir = Vector3.ProjectOnPlane(transform.forward, Vector3.up);

#

So that if I go forward since my drone tilts it doesnt slowly go down

austere grotto
#

nothing about that has anything to do with the input handling so there's no reason you need to change that

round vessel
#

Its setting the rb velocity tho

round vessel
#

Idk how else I can explain

austere grotto
#

and you'd have to show your code

round vessel
#

Moving it

# 
public void OnMovement(InputValue value)
    {
        Vector3 movementDir = new (inputDir.x, 0, inputDir.y);
        rb.velocity = movementDir * speed;
        inputDir = Gamepad.current.leftStick.ReadValue();
        // WUp = false;
        // SpaceUp = false;
        // Vector3 dir = Vector3.ProjectOnPlane(transform.forward, Vector3.up);
        // rb.useGravity = false;
        // up_down_axis = 0.1f;
        // forward_backward_angle = Mathf.Lerp(forward_backward_angle, angle, Time.deltaTime);
        // rb.velocity += dir.normalized * speed;
    }```
austere grotto
#

this belongs in Update

round vessel
#

I see

austere grotto
#

If you want to use the PlayerInput component, you would do something completely different

round vessel
#

Oh Im really stupid

woeful seal
# 
Rigidbody rigidBody = null;
float thrust = 10f;

void Start()
{
  if(rigidBody == null)
  rigidBody = GetCompenent<Rigidbody>();
  
}

void LateUpdate()
{
  if(inputDir.y > 0)
  {
    rigidBody.AddForce(vector.forward * thrust);
  }
}
austere grotto
#

Also this is in the wrong order lol cs Vector3 movementDir = new (inputDir.x, 0, inputDir.y); rb.velocity = movementDir * speed; inputDir = Gamepad.current.leftStick.ReadValue();

round vessel
woeful seal
#

rb.velocity works as well probably better even

round vessel
#

WASD dont tho

#

Wait

#

Nvm im like braindead

#

oh yeah wait what if I want both

#

Movement.readValue or smth?

austere grotto
round vessel
#

so onMovement

austere grotto
#

Gamepad.current.leftStick.ReadValue();
This is directly reading from a device

round vessel
#

Yeah I got that

austere grotto
#

Yes, you can do like

public void OnMovement(InputValue value)
{
  Vector2 inputDir = value.ReadValue<Vector2>();
  Vector3 movementDir = new (inputDir.x, 0, inputDir.y);
  rb.velocity = movementDir * speed;
}```
round vessel
#

Uh it aint value.ReadValue

fresh galleon
#

so maybe... like... read the documentation with an example use...?

#

that's what they make them for

twin sundial
#

otherwise you can just do ActionMapName.ActionName.IsPressed() to see if it's pressed or ActionMapName.ActionName.ReadValue<Vector2>() if you want to read a specific value
