How idfk

#

I got it

supple crow
#

I have some code that depends on being able to get InputUser.all[0] so that it can check your current control scheme. I discovered that this fails if I haven't yet created a PlayerInput.

#

Does this mean that there are zero users by default, and that each instance of a PlayerInput you create makes a new user?

#

(that you create at the same time, at least)

#

I am moving this PlayerInput into a DDOL'd object that I created as the game starts, so that'll fix my issue

#

but I am curious about how this is working

supple crow
#

ah, the user goes away when the PlayerInput component is destroyed!

supple crow
#

I am a little surprised now, though -- the input system worked fine in my main menu (including when I was subscribing to and unsubscribing from InputActions directly

#

I guess actions can be performed even if there are no players?

placid gazelle
#

there's gotta be a cleaner way to do this, right?

How do I have more than one "north button" for mobile?

#

For me if I add two, they both will have the same function

#

Image > On-Screen Button

#

This frustrates me and I had to like bind some buttons to east and south and stuff

#

Now I have 3 buttons that dont work

austere grotto

#

I take up the button north south east and west

#

Right and left joystick

austere grotto
#

even Keyboard keys

#

mouse buttons

#

whatever

round vessel
#

No

#

How does that work

#

Tf

austere grotto
#

Just set the control path

round vessel
#

Aren't you suppose to link the control path with the method in input manager

austere grotto
#

What is "input manager"?

round vessel
#

Where u make the inputs

#

And add binding

austere grotto
austere grotto
#

you can bind keyboard keys to things there

#

Not keyboard

#

Its mobile

austere grotto
#

these are just virtual anyway

#

it doesn't matter at all

round vessel
#

Will they work on mobile?

austere grotto
#

of course

round vessel
#

Ok so if I want a new button

#

Wait

#

What do I set

#

Do I set the on screen button to random

#

Or the asset menu

austere grotto
#

Hey guys, im working in an inventory system and i'd like to be able to shift-click on some items and do things. I've tried this:

 button.RegisterCallback<ClickEvent>(e =>
            {
                if (e.button == (int)MouseButton.LeftMouse && e.modifiers == EventModifiers.Shift)
                {
                    OnShiftClicked();
                }
                if (e.button == (int)MouseButton.RightMouse)
                {
                    OnRightClicked();
                }
                else
                {
                    OnNormalClick();
                }
            });
    }

using the UIElements, but it doesnt really work. Any way i could get this working using the new input system?

austere grotto
#

Otherwise it's going to do both the shift click and the normal click

oblique jackal
#

the thing is that it doesnt even enter the functions

#

i have some debug logs on them but they dont really print

Should I have a separate Action Map for different status conditions? (Example: Running, Swimming Underwater, Transformed, and First Person / Third Person controls)

spare frigate
# plucky path Should I have a separate Action Map for different status conditions? (*Example*:...

That may be up to your games needs, though I would say different maps make sense when input could override actions that should only be allowed in specific conditions (like having a "driving" or "flying" map different from a "running/on-foot" map since yaw/pitch/roll can be controlled with movement keys for example) - or when you want to split input in a way that lets you toggle parts (such as having a map for weapons/shooting, and a different one for movement, this means you can disable the weapon map when in a car, or disable the movement map when in a cutscene, etc) - in general though, I usually have a main "player", "menu" and feature specific like weapons, driving, etc, I wouldnt have a different one for something like swimming and running, but maybe underwater works differently

Bug. Any help? If I touch on my samsung s23 ultra and untouch the touch still remains like invisibile cursor. In this test you can see. I used two finger and lifted up and it remeans like I would still touch it and buttons get hover states (twice because 2 fingers). Remember when they get red my fingers arebnot on the screen.
Any idea or fix?
EDIT: Tested with the old input system.. there it works. Not with the new one. I guess its a bug

#

I have a script that is using Mouse.current.position.ReadValue()

The script is working perfectly fine on my desktop, but when I switch to my laptop, it starts throwing a NullReferenceEception because there is no mouse plugged in.

Any clue how to fix this?

hasty quartz
lucid pilot
#

That is the new input system

austere grotto
#

so Mouse.current is null

#

you will want to check if you actually have a mouse before using it

Hi guys, pretty confused about the new input system's rebinding feature here, the action to rebind is referenced by an InputActionReference, but the rebinds does not apply to the instance I created...

#

Was I meant to be using a specific instance somewhere? One that likely all InputActionReferences points to at default?

austere grotto
#

the rebinding only applies to the specific actions you rebind in your code.

frozen mauve
#

Which means that it had no way to know the instance I created at runtime

austere grotto
austere grotto
#

You wouldn't use IAR if you want to reference something you created at runtime

frozen mauve
#

So the only logic is that either I fetch the runtime one and rebind that one, or there must be some sort of singleton somewhere that the InputActionReference references

austere grotto
#

it's not a singleton

#

you chose to reference something

#

that's what it references

#

I fetch the runtime one and rebind that one,
If that's the one you're actually using for controls in your game, yes you would do this

frozen mauve
#

Basically, was I meant to do this?

public static MainInput input;

    void Awake()
    {
        input = new MainInput();
    }
austere grotto
#

wdym by "was I meant to"?

frozen mauve
#

It makes a new instance

#

The rebind had no way of knowing that instance's existance

austere grotto
#

Ok but what do you mean by "meant to"? There are many ways to use the input system. This is one of them

austere grotto
frozen mauve
#

And the InputActionReference's reference can be run normally, so it must be an instance in of itself

austere grotto
#

and yes, every copy of the actions asset is an instance, of course.

#

by definition

frozen mauve
#

So I'm questioning whether this way of creating new instances was meant for splitscreen type stuff, while there's actually a main somewhere

austere grotto
#

but you could do this for splitscreen if you want to

#

again the system is flexible, and you can use it however you wish

frozen mauve
#

So... In a nutshell, this is normal, right?

public InputActionReference inputAction;
InputAction action = GlobalPlayer.input.Player.Get().actions.Single((InputAction action) => action.name == inputAction.action.name);
InputActionRebindingExtensions.RebindingOperation rebindOperation = action.PerformInteractiveRebinding(bindingIndex).Start();
#

Essentially I'm fetching the action with the same name as the one assigned

austere grotto
#

There isn't really a "normal". If GlobalPlayer.input.Player.Get().actions is how you fetch your instance of the actions asset that your code is using, then sure this is the way to do it.

I would guess it's more likely that GlobalPlayer.input.actionsAsset or whatevert is a simpler way to get at it though

#

Don't remmember exactly if that's what it's called on the generated C# asset or not

frozen mauve
#

What is that one meant to do?

#

The actionsAssets

austere grotto
#

get a reference to the InputActionsAsset

#

But I don't really know what all the pieces of GlobalPlayer.input.Player are because this is your specific project code that I'm not familiar with

#

so I'm making educated guesses here

frozen mauve
#

GlobalPlayer = PersistentPlayer, a singleton
.input = A new instance of MainInput created on Awake
.Player = The name of one of the actionMaps

#

Uh, now that I think about it, I shouldn't assume the action map used

austere grotto
#

OI assume MainInput is the name of your INput Actions asset and the generated C# class created from it

frozen mauve
austere grotto
#

if you want a specific action from a string it's basically myInputActionAsset["MapName/ActionName"]

frozen mauve
austere grotto
#

no

#

It's an InputActionAsset

#

but it has an indexer

frozen mauve
#

ight, looked like dictionary logic

austere grotto
austere grotto
#

so they both use indexer syntax

frozen mauve
#

Whelp, I'll go research again ig, thanks Praetor, see yah

#

Quick test, this asset is accessible by MainInput.asset (MainInput => instance of whatever the generated class is called)

#

Just correction cus it's not called actionsAsset

austere grotto
#

Ok thank you

#

I don't have a Unity project in front of my so I couldn't check, and that doesn't happen to be documented 😓

I've got an odd issue where the InputSystem isn't correctly observing gamepad or keyboard inputs (Not allowing any input through unless it is a joystick Vector2 movement) until InputDebugger is open. Does anyone know why this is?

With a large amount of effort and planning

visual tapir
#

Is this even close to what I'd need to create a controller to tell apart between a tap, a hold and a drag? Basically I want three separate abilities to activate depending on the input type (on tap turn on the light, on hold a focused ability, on drag a conical AoE - I also want to be able to tap a different area for a different ability). My question is can I tell this behaviour apart in the input system or should I just listen for "touch" and "hold" separately and then figure things out from there?

image.png
austere grotto
#

with this setup, both tap and hold will happen when you hold

#

You'll want to handle the disambiguation in code

visual tapir
#

Makes sense - so when I have two separate actions (tap/hold and drag) there's no way for both to fire at once?

austere grotto
#

what do you mean by "at once"?

#

They can all independently fire

#

they don't care or know about each other

visual tapir
#

As in will everytime I "Drag" automatically trigger the "tap or hold" since the latter is a pre-requisite for the former?

austere grotto
#

the drag one will trigger when you move the mouse

#

they're independent

visual tapir
#

So dragging is moving with the mouse held down? Which is the same as the "hold"? I'm probably completely misunderstanding something 😅

austere grotto
#

drag is just the name you gave your action

#

The action is bound to the mouse position

#

so it cares only about mouse position

visual tapir
#

Ah, yeah makes sense, I set that wrong for sure then, I thought that defining "hold" in interaction also means it's held down, not just moving the mouse around

image.png
austere grotto
#

you definitely don't want a hold interaction there

#

it makes no sense

#

no it's not that clever. That would make it trigger only if you continually move the mouse for .5 seconds

#

it really just doesn't make sense outside of button style controls

visual tapir
#

Ah! Welp, I completely misunderstood it then - time to re-read the docs - thanks! 🙌

Hello,
I have more than one action map and trying to switching between maps by A.Enable() B.Disable() and vice versa.
But then pressing the key that disables current map and enables the other one actually fires another action in the second map that uses the same keybind. (seems like it is not consumed by the first action map & seems like it is intended)
Can anybody help me out with this issue? What is the proper way of handling this?

The Events section lists all input events generated by the Device. You can double-click any event in the list to inspect the full Device state at the time the event occurred. To get a side-by-side difference between the state of the Device at different points in time, select multiple events, right-click them, and click Compare from the context menu.

#

Did you read this part

cursive oxide
# austere grotto Did you read this part

Yes. 2 problems with that section. 1 when I double click on the controller nothing happens. No event modal pops up. 2. Its not registering the controller as a valid device in some sections and in other sections it is. For example the console log shows it as an xbox 360 controller when i unplug and plug it in:

I have this line

context.action.bindings[1].effectivePath This works, but as an example, for gamepads, it shows the "general" binding i.e Gamepad/buttonEast. If i wanted to get the exact binding (i.e Xbox/B or DS4/O) would i need to create a different control scheme for each device?

sterile walrus
austere grotto

# sterile walrus It wasn’t

It wasn't a simple issue? You had simply not selected something. You of course have to select something to inspect it.

Either way, there is no need to continue this. Please just respect the community and others, don't be rude, and follow the rules

https://learn.unity.com/ has the essentials pathway which will get you going quickly. It will teach you all about the editor.
All the other pathways are great too

I have a UnityEngine.InputSystem.InputBinding object. when i call "ToDisplayString()" on a button south input on it my xbox controller returns "A" which is great, I'm then using that string to convert it to the corresponding character in promptfont. I don't own a PlayStation controller so I don't know what would be returned on that controller. does anyone know how ToDisplayString would be translated for each of the 4 main buttons (north button, south button, east button, and west button)? I cant seem to find it the docs.

How can you have these two inputs for the same action? I tried using Any for the control type, but no luck getting it to work. I can just make two separate actions, but was hoping to figure this out.

Left stick (up)
Keyboard W

I want both to move the character forward, but I wan the left stick up to function like a button since I have grid movement in my game where the player moves one unit forward.
**
NVM I'm an idiot I thought I had selected left stick UP as the input, but I only selected left stick. **

Hi, I am working with unity 6.
I was wondering what the best approach for making an asset is.
What I mean is, I have my utils asset which shouldn't be tied to a project, and therefore should have it's own actions asset.
Having a single actions asset doesn't seem like a good approach because that would mean I(or anyone else using my utils) would have to create a new action map for each project to add all the needed actions.
The issue is, when I created a new actions asset, it didn't work(I assume because it's not a project wide input system asset) and I don't know what I am supposed to do now.
Thanks in advance!

  1. I am using git, much easier than having to constantly package and upload it, I can just push changes from the latest project I am working on.
  2. I don't know how input systems work behind the scenes, I was hoping that doing something like if (_backAction.action.WasReleasedThisFrame()) would check if one of the back action inputs was released that frame.
    What I did was:
  • Create a new input system actions asset
  • Get a reference to an action from it [SerializeField] private InputActionReference _backAction;
  • Tried and failed to use it

I'm running into an issue I think is an input system issue, but I'm not 100% sure what the deal is. I have it set up where I walk up to an item and hit the button I've labeled for interact, and it pulls up a menu with 4 buttons i can select from. If I use the keyboard, hitting E pulls up the menu, but using a controller, it pulls up the menu and selects the first option immediately and I can't for the life of me figure out what the deal is and why it's acting this way.

#

Anybody have any insights? For the input system I have it set to trigger on context started, that should only fire once, shouldn't it?

#

I have the first button set up in the script to use SetSelectedGameObject so that's why it's choosing the first one, but again it's only doing it using a controller

austere grotto
#

That seems likely

leaden cloud
austere grotto
#

wdym by that

leaden cloud
#

I opened up the input actions I made, went to UI and removed the gamepad option from submit so the only remaining thing is just the keyboard

austere grotto
leaden cloud
#

I'm not quite following what you mean honestly, I downloaded the package, made a new input module in my assets and set the bindings in there, one for player, and one for UI

austere grotto
#

THe UI Input Module

#

it's a component on your Event System

#

it's the thing that hooks up your input to the UI system (aka pressing buttons)

#

If you didn't do anything with that, it's using the default asset

#

which has probably "Button South" as the submit button

#

which is likely what you're pressing

leaden cloud
#

Oooooooh, I wasn't aware there was another one

#

gaaaah

#

thank you!

#

For vector2D movement, how can I compensate for when a diagonal direction is released (say UP and Right keys pressed) since you cant release them at the same time. I need to save the last direction the character is facing, but need to compensate for this delay and count it as a diagonal vs one or the other input direction.

supple crow
#

Perhaps you can separate horizontal and vertical inputs

#

so you track them separately

#

each one gets reset to 0 if there's no input in that direction and there is input in the other direction

#

and then give that reset a slight delay

Hi it's me again with the same issue as last night: I've replaced the actions asset in the EventSystem with my own action map, however I'm still running into the issue where the button to interact with something is the same button that is submit for the UI that pops up and chooses the first button immediately. Is there a way to make it so when you change to another action map it doesn't recognize a button that's already pressed down?

austere grotto
leaden cloud
#

I'll give that a try, thanks for the help!

leaden cloud
#

That didn't work, it seems like Submit is triggering when the button is held down no matter what, but I could probably just do a WaitForSeconds(.1f) or something

#

Otherwise I suppose I can do a check if the button is pressed and if it is just have it wait until it's released and then swap the map

Hey guys, any idea why on the gamepad im getting 2 calls with context performed? On a keyboard its called only 1 time (as i'd like it to), it's normal button (in the action map) + method call in the unity event in player input. Also it's normal button (A xbox) not trigger

#

Pass through seems to work the same way

austere grotto
#

Especially how you hooked up your listener

Looks like two separate listeners are hooked up

instance id looks the same with both calls, and in events i have only called it once

gameObject.GetInstanceID()

#

what could i log in Debug.log that'd be helpful for us?

austere grotto
#

Maybe something with "initial state check"?

#

Not sure

valid arch
#

also not sure what could i look here for

#

i think ill just do float lastTimeCalled, and check if its called second time the same frame, cuz i dont know what to do with it rn 🤷‍♂️

#

I was referring to the initial state check setting on the input action

this one?

Ok, i change a map later on in the CurrentSelect?.Cancel(); and it call all events second time (started, performed, canceled). But i wasn't aware that it calls all of them even if you change to the same map for example ui into ui.

you can do inputActions.PlayerBasicMovement.Enable(); to turn on the entire map

this is my code on the upper map "move"

used on the player with a PlayerInput component

I didn't write a line to explicitly Enable the map but it worked

supple crow

the PlayerInput component will, by default, pick a single input action map and enable it

oh, It worked

oh I see there is a default map dropdown in the PlayerInput component

that's why it worked without me enable the map

#

how can I do to make the pause function work through the PauseButtonDown() which attached to a button onclick event

#

for now I guess my new context does not passes a performed message and I cannot edit it like context.performed = true since performed is readonly

#

Is using a private event that links both ways of pausing to the function a better way?

supple crow
#

you do not create your own callback context

#

I'd rearrange this so that it's:

# 
void PauseAction(InputAction.CallbackContext ctx) { Pause(); }
public void PauseButton() { Pause(); }
void Pause() { /* pause code in here */ }
hazy coral
#

oh, I found that making a event for this is excessive, just call another method

hello, Im tryin to broaden my knowledge of the new input system, and im trying to get an action to have 2 interactions on it, hold and tap, hold will drain water, and tap will pickup or drop the item.
This may be wrong, but it works for the hold interaction atm

    public void OnInteract(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
    {
        if (context.performed)
        InteractAct = context.ReadValueAsButton();

        if (context.canceled)
            InteractAct = false;
    }

How would I implement a tap feature without stepping over the hold feature?

austere grotto
sinful grotto
#

oh boy tell me about em

austere grotto
#

Basically you have these states:

WaitingForInitialTap
WaitingForReleaseOrHold -> if release before time threshold, do the Tap action
v
if time threshold gets reached ebfore release - do the hold action

#

I wouldn't formalize it with multiple classes or anything

sinful grotto
#

im gonna mark this for later use XD

#

okay, Im trying to go about making this game slowly, and methodically, but the problem you get with keeping it clean and modular is the confusion, and complexity

austere grotto
# sinful grotto okay, Im trying to go about making this game slowly, and methodically, but the p...

You could actually model this as one action with the Hold interaction maybe and do this:

    bool wasPerformed;

    public void OnInteract(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
    {
        if (context.performed) {
          // Hold timer was reached 
          wasPerformed = true
          DoHoldAction();
        }

        if (context.canceled) {
          if (!wasPerformed) {
            // This means we released the key before hold timer was reached.
            DoTapAction();
          }

          wasPerformed = false;
        }
    }```
#

then just set the hold time as desired in the Hold interaction

sinful grotto
#

Im worried about turning my input class into a class that does something and calls its own methods. Im scared of the speget

austere grotto
#

have it fire events

#

other things can handle the events

# 
    bool wasPerformed;

    public void OnInteract(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
    {
        if (context.performed) {
          // Hold timer was reached 
          wasPerformed = true
          OnInteractHeld?.Invoke();
        }

        if (context.canceled) {
          if (!wasPerformed) {
            // This means we released the key before hold timer was reached.
            OnInteractTapped?.Invoke();
          }

          wasPerformed = false;
        }
    }```

i DIDDD i diddd DXX and that started to not workkk lolll using events was great but the idea of it for me was to make code more independent. In reality i still needed those scripts to connect, and did away with events after that

austere grotto
#

events reverse the dependency that's all

#

Instead of A knowing about B to call B.Something, now B knows about A to listen to A.OnSomeEvent

#

you still need the scripts to connect in any case

#

YOu can make the events static if you want.

sinful grotto
#

I think i dont know enough about events to use them properly. I had it used correctly but then didnt know what i was really doing with it

austere grotto
#

Regardless this is an unrelated discussion

#

However you want to communicate this stuff to another script is different from how to handle the logic

sinful grotto
#

yea u right, and i didnt think about it that way :o, thanku good sir

So I'm using the new input system and have 'held' for a button, however, when I try this code (I'm sure this is a logic error?) the moveDelay doesn't do anything even if I set it to a ridiculously high number. However, if I remove the moveDelay movement is instant.

    private void Update()
    {
        BasicMove();
    }

    private void AttemptMove(Vector2 moveInput)
    {
        // Movement stuff
        
        isMoving = true;
        StartCoroutine(MoveCooldown());
    }

    private void BasicMove()
    {
        Vector2 move = playerControls.Gameplay.Move.ReadValue<Vector2>();

        if (!isMoving && move.magnitude > 0.5f)
        {
            // Prevent diagonal movement
            if (!(Mathf.Abs(move.x) > 0.5f && Mathf.Abs(move.y) > 0.5f))
            {
                AttemptMove(new Vector2(move.x, move.y));
            }
        }
    }
    
    private IEnumerator MoveCooldown()
    {
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(moveDelay);
        isMoving = false; // Reset moving flag after moveDelay
    }

Any ideas?

acoustic shard
#

I figured it out, I am a HUGE DUM DUM and moveDelay was a public float that was being overridden by the gameobject.

#

How come the new input system doesn't need to be put in update?

Not polling based

you misread

austere grotto

It probably needs to be configured in the inspector somehow

#

And other things might have referenced it as well

So you broke all that stuff by removing it

I've been having a problem that I can't solve for a while...

I've tried many different things but they don't work, the result is always the same error when this case occurs: in a 2d mobile game, having created a new input system action that is simply left click, when it is pressed many times in a row (many clicks in a very short time) the value of that action remains stuck at 1 (ReadValue<float> = 1) even though the button is not being pressed. Also printed IsPressed, and it is true while not holding the button.

I've tried almost everything, different types of Coldown systems using Time.time, coroutines that disable the button and activate it every time it is pressed, different types of FSM, restrictive bools of various types, setting the action to Button or Passthrough with or without Initial State Check checked, I tried to use the instruction Reset() of the action after using it...

The only "solution" is to set a Hold Processor on the action with a value of at least 0.5, but it is useless as it breaks the experience. I don't know what else to try to prevent the button from getting stuck with value 1 when pressed very quickly. Any solution? Thanks

it will work for a joystick but only when you go from the default actuation point (maybe 50%) to 0

I'm using the input system rebinding extension, is there a way to discretely detect scroll wheel up and scroll wheel down as independent inputs when using PerformInteractiveRebinding()

regardless of which direction i scroll, it gives me the same input action, "Scroll Up/Down"

#

i need both inputs to be discrete from eachother so that the player can bind swapping weapons forward and backward to two discrete buttons or to the scroll wheel

#

otherwise id either be forcing the player to bind swapping weapons to an axis, like the scroll wheel, or making the scroll wheel swap weapons forward/backward regardless of which direction you scroll

Do you create your own actions or action maps through code at any point?

digital narwhal
#

No. But I got the error to go away when I removed the part in my code that instantiates the event system from addressable when the app loads.

#

So it seems to be something with that. I'm gonna add it to the title scene hierarchy and build and see if it happens again.

#

It worked. So it's and issue with me loading it from addressable.

#

Here is how I load it:

private static GameObject _LoadAndInstantiateResource(string resourceKey)
        {
            var assetHandle = Addressables.LoadAssetAsync<GameObject>(resourceKey);
            var gameObject = Object.Instantiate(assetHandle.WaitForCompletion());
            gameObject.name = resourceKey;
            Object.DontDestroyOnLoad(gameObject);
            Addressables.Release(assetHandle);
            return gameObject;
        }

#

Interesting -- I also instantiate my event system very early on

#

when exactly do you do it?

#

At first I did it Before splash screen load. But then I tried after scene load. Same issue.

supple crow
#

mine gets created in a [RuntimeInitializeOnLoadMethod(RuntimeInitializeLoadType.BeforeSceneLoad)] method

Im trying to write a rebinding menu for my game, using unity's new input system and the input rebinding extension. How can i filter the individual directions of an axis input within PerformInteractiveRebinding() so that i can assign them to the positive and negative part of a composite input?

#

for instance, movement left and right is a composite input with a positive and negative direction

#

if i input the left analog stick into one of these, the binding is set to "Left Stick X", which just triggers that direction of the composite input regardless of which horizontal direction i move the analog stick

#

what i would need is to filter it to something like Left Stick/Left or Left Stick/Right instead of just Left Stick X, depending on the direction the player inputs

#

the same applies to scroll wheel inputs, any direction on the scroll wheel will set the binding to Scroll Up/Down, instead of the actual direction the scroll wheel was rotated

so here's a bit of a long shot

#

Valve has an input system called Steam Input

#

I'm wondering if anyone has ever looked at using it as a device

#

Steam Input lets you declare actions like "Shoot" or "Dodge" and have those appear directly in the input configuration in Steam

#

So in theory, you could create an input device that responds to these actions

#

so if I had an input action called Dodge, it might have bindings of:

  • Shift (Keyboard)
  • Button South (Gamepad)
  • Dodge (Steam)

Any reason why my controller input works perfectly fine in the editor, then in the build it does not get detected at all? I have no errors in the build, just nothing happens when I start inputting stuff on the controller, keyboard/mouse still works fine. I have been researching this for a while and none of the known fixes (the few that exist) even apply to me. If anyone has any suspicions on why this could be happening I would appreciate it, thanks!

Is there a good reason for using control schemes? Mostly those are useful mainly for local multiplayer

#

They end up causing people issues like this a lot

remote bough
#

I have them for different devices like I thought you were supposed to?

#

all of those were there when i hit create actions though

austere grotto
#

It's only needed for local multiplayer where you need the system to be able to identify different people by different devices

#

what may be happening is your input is getting bound to the first device it sees - which is maybe not the one you're actually using

remote bough
#

so does onControlsChanged not change the control scheme?

#

wow i was under the assumption that they are for different devices schemes not different PHYSICAL device schemes

#

so I should just remove them all and have one called main or something?

remote bough
#

also dont think that approach will work, considering im displaying control hints so I kind of need to know which control scheme is active

supple crow
supple crow
#

just slap that in an OnGUI method or something

I don't know if there's a nicer way to do that in a build

I've set a newly created Input Manager, but I can't swap back.. why is that? ^^'

And what do you mean swap?

#

Is this about the new input system, or the old input manager class?

unique geyser
#

I pressed "Assign as the Project-wide Input Actions

and swap meaning, I wanna go back to what I had before

tulip tartan
#

Ah, in player settings you can switch the active input system

If I remember correctly

Hopefully I am understanding correctly

In that top image, open "other settings"

It is right there in the top image

It is currently set to "Both", so you can use the old input as well as new currently

I have an InputAction with 10 keys, which I'm using for accessing the hotbar items. Works fine.
But I just finished a feature to change keybinds and I want to support control/alt/shift modifiers as well. Changing the keybinds works fine. I also have composite paths such as "/Keyboard/leftAlt + /Keyboard/q" as bindings.

However, now I noticed I can't actually use these bindings at all for my action...
I have UseHotbar(InputAction.CallbackContext context) that gets the event, but context seems to know nothing about composite keybinds. context.action is just straight out missing these bindings.

Any tips on how I could make this work?

austere grotto
#

It greatly simplifies rebinding etc

lament whale
#

but I think I just figured it out as well, context doesn't have binding directly, but it does exist in context.action.bindings

# supple crow I'd suggest adding some debug code that shows you which control scheme is active...

Okay I just did this, I basically just did a LogError every frame and printed the control scheme, in the editor it is correct, when I switch to my gamepad it prints Gamepad, and when i switch to my keyboard/mouse it prints Keyboard&Mouse like it should. Then on the build it just continuously prints Keyboard&Mouse even if I am using the controller

as for the devices: it shows all the correct devices in the editor, and then in the build the controller is not listed in the connected devices. so for some reason it just is not even seeing the controller as connected

Update: I think it has something to do with steamworks.net...

for some reason whenever I close steam and get this error (which happens because steam isnt open) THEN and ONLY THEN my controller gets picked up. It is so weird that my input doesnt get picked up when the SteamAPI_Init() succeeds but it does when it fails. Does anyone have information on this?

image.png
#

I found this:

https://github.com/rlabrecque/Steamworks.NET/issues/380

this definitely seems to be my issue, however I am not quite sure how I can fix this yet

EDIT: like it says in that issue forum, I can fix this by opening the steam overlay (in the build) and going to controller settings and when I apply the template for just "gamepad" and close the overlay THEN my input gets picked up. Very VERY weird bug with steamworks, I have read that when you upload to steam and play through steam it should all be working so I am going to ignore the bug for now (as I don't have a steam page / appid just yet) just putting this here in case anyone has a similar issue

EDIT 2: a temporary fix for this is changing the appid in the build folder to anything else besides 480 (i used 12345). What this does is it doesn't load the spacewar controller configuration which is whats rebinding inputs and what-not. However you can't test any spacewar related stuff obviously like achievements (in the build) if you do this

sorry for spam again UnityChanSorry

Hey all - I'm trying to have functionality so that when holding right click, the cursor disappears (easy enough to do), but then if you move the mouse while holding right click and release right click, the cursor appears in the same location as where it was when you held right click before moving the mouse. This is similar to games like WoW. I am able to show/ hide cursor, and I have tried a couple of methods where it does place the cursor back to where it was first held, however there is a noticable lag when it reappears and I'm wondering how people handle this - what is the fastest most efficient way to do this so that there is no lag?

Thanks in advance for any pointers

I'm implementing a HID wheel whose layout starts with a float for the steering angle.

struct HIDData
 {
     float fSteeringWheelAngle =  NAN;//返回角度
     int16_t       steeringWheelAxle = 0x8001;
...

I am replicating this HID as part of an InputDevice:

[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
public struct GudsenMozaR9BaseInputReport : IInputStateTypeInfo
{
    public FourCC format => new FourCC('H', 'I', 'D');

    [InputControl(name = "fSteeringWheelAngle", layout = "Axis")]
    public float fSteeringWheelAngle;

    [InputControl(name = "steeringWheelAxle", layout = "Axis")]
    public short steeringWheelAxle;
...

The value shows up correctly in https://hardwaretester.com/gamepad on axis 0: -1 when at the left limit, and 1 at the right limit. In the Input Debugger, I can see there is a value that changes as I turn the wheel. However, as the wheel passes the centre position the value jumps. It's awkward to explain so I've made a diagram showing the behaviour. On the left is the behaviour on the linked gamepad tester page, and the behaviour I want. On the right is the behaviour I am seeing in the Input Debugger. What could cause this wrapping behaviour?

#

Where can I modify the input value like that?

austere grotto
#

not sure why that's happening though

scenic vapor
#

I would rather solve this problem at the InputDevice level because I have a number of other devices to consider and don't want to change their implementations or have to consider this wheel a special case.

austere grotto
scenic vapor
#

Yes, is there a way to process input in that class?

austere grotto
#

I believe by overriding the ReadValueFromXXX methods

#

not something i've ever done

#

but maybe you can just do base.ReadValueFromXXX and then try to examine/operate on the resulting data.

scenic vapor
#

Right, I'll give that a go, thanks. void*, my favourite.

#

I thought the new input system was supposed to make things easier!

scenic vapor
#

I have tried this and ended up only deeper down a rabbit hole of custom InputControls. It seems insane to me that this is an issue at all - why can a web browser handle HID input easily, immediately, with zero setup or configuration while the most popular game engine in the world can't even with hundreds of lines of code configuring it? Would appreciate any support on the above ReadValueFromXXX approach or, ideally, on whatever the correct way to set up the axis in the Input System is.

scenic vapor
#

I've started out this morning by getting a better understanding of the error, and it seems the shape I sketched earlier is not correct, which means any solution that involves scaling the input value is going be be extremely awkward to implement. On the X axis is the correct value, which I'm getting from the gamepad test link I shared earlier. On the Y axis I am plotting the reading from the input debugger. This is a clue, but I'm not sure where it points.

image.png
#

The simultaneous drop and change in gradient suggests to me that the sign bit is being misinterpreted. However, when I tried looking at the raw memory I was disappointed that I couldn't see it change in real time.

scenic vapor
# austere grotto you can adjust this by doing `inputValue = (inputValue + .5f) % 1f;`

I have made some progress on the issue. For whatever reason, the HID layout I was looking at seemed to be wrong: The steering axis is actually a ushort value. However, it needs to be combined with a second ushort value which defines a constant offset which is set using the proprietary software for configuring the hardware. In my current setup, this is interpreted as two axes, but I would like it to just be one. This would be easy to do in 'application' code, but it would mean adding a special case and polluting my player control code with a correction for a specific piece of hardware, so I would again like to solve this at the InputDevice level.

image.png
#

My question is therefore how can I write code to combine these two AxisControls such that the Input Debugger only reports a single value, which is a combination of the two?

[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Explicit)]
public struct GudsenMozaR9BaseInputReport : IInputStateTypeInfo
{
    public FourCC format => new FourCC('H', 'I', 'D');

    [FieldOffset(0)] public byte reportId;

    [InputControl(name = "fSteeringWheelAngle", layout = "Axis")]
    [FieldOffset(1)] public ushort fSteeringWheelAngle;

    [InputControl(name = "steeringWheelAxle", layout = "Axis")]
    [FieldOffset(3)] public ushort steeringWheelAxle;
...
scenic vapor
#

I've managed to create a composite axis based on two axes, one for each side. However, they are configured such that 1 is in the middle and zero is at the peripheries, so I want to apply processors in the InputActions asset to fix this before the values are read. However, they appear to do literally nothing. To test, I added this 'scale' processor, but the output values are identical to without it. What's going on?

image.png
#

They are properly saved in the .inputactions

image.png
scenic vapor
#

^ From what I can tell, processors don't work when applied to individual parts of a composite axis. Obviously this behaviour is undocumented, presumably a bug. I've had too many bug reports closed without resolution on me to be bothered filing another, but I believe I have just about found a working configuration so no need to reply to any of the above. Thanks!

Is there any way to stop InputSystem.onAnyButtonPress from propogating the event?

I'm using InputSystem.onAnyButtonPress (using CallOnce), which is all working fine and dandy, and I can apply the correct logic.

However, after it runs the supplied callback, it still sends the event forward to the input system. This makes it so that when I use certain buttons that match an action, that action gets performed (eg Submit on the UI). This is unwanted behaviour, I'd like to handle this event as a one-off thing where I'm doing one-time logic. Is there any way to consume the event/stop it from propogating? While there are hacky workarounds such as disabling UI interactability or disabling the actions, it feels like there really ought to be a way of stopping the event somehow.

I've scoured google/documentation but didn't have any luck, the only thing I could find was a forum post asking the same question, with no replies unfortunately: https://forum.unity.com/threads/consuming-inputevent-with-inputsystem-onanybuttonpressed.1508648/

#

They do have different phases, but that's not the issue. TouchPhase.Ended propagates twice, like i said originally

#

or three times even

#

it's due onBeforeUpdate and onUpdate and onAfterUpdate (input system internal code)

#

however, if I touch, wait for 0.1s and then release, then it propagates correctly.

but i can't rely on this behaviour

When the player clicks the rebind button, it should wait for the player to input a key, then it should rebind, for example, the left key to be j instead of a if the player pressed j.

Hey I'm subscribing to InputSystem.onDeviceChange manually myself to detect new devices being added to then create InputUsers by doing InputUser.PerformPairingWithDevice myself, but its not quite working as I expected after entering Play Mode, as the keyboard does not get detected and the controller just gets detected when first plugged in

#

I mean, I guess it is working as intended, because the keyboard does not change as its already plugged in, and neither does the controller after its initial connection

#

But I don't know how I should do it instead

                    actionMap.Enable();
                }

                // Register the action callback, this should be pressing L+R in a controller or Space in a keyboard
                actionMap.UserJoin.performed += context => DefaultCreateNewUser(device, context);
            }
        }

        public static void DefaultCreateNewUser(InputDevice device, InputAction.CallbackContext context)
        {
            if (context.control.device == device)
            {
                InputUser user = InputUser.PerformPairingWithDevice(device);

                Debug.LogWarning($"Device {device} paired with user {user.index}");

                actionMap.UserJoin.performed -= context => DefaultCreateNewUser(device, context);

                actionMap.Disable();
            }
        }
    }
#

Basically the idea is that you can add as many devices as you want but unless the game allows you to join and you do the join action you aren't registered in the game

#

plus some other stuff i have around, but thats after joining

#

I used it previously and I ended up writing my own variation of player input manager and i just scrapped all of it as there were some issues with device and user pairing (i wasnt able to use both a controller and the keyboard to move my character, where i could before by using PlayerInputManager)

#

And I extremely simplified it to the bare minimums, which as of now its just that

fresh galleon
#

still feels like re-inventing the wheel. I believe the PlayerInputManager solution is already pretty light-weight, so just because you're not using absolutely all of it's features doesn't mean you should implement your own, most likely worse, solution to input

distant sphinx
#

I still would rather do it manually

#

I just need the InputUser which I then shove into a component in an entity, which I would then do whatever I want with systems

Hello, I'm trying to understand the 1D axis of the input system, I've set it up like this:

#

It's all working fine except it never goes back to 0, is that expected behavior?

austere grotto
#

Probably you're subscribing only to the performed event and not canceled for example

quartz geyser
#

SO let's say I press Q it return -1 but when I release it it's still returning -1

austere grotto
#

Again, you'd have to show your code

quartz geyser
#

Sure

Have you tried adding Debug.Log

#

How is the new input system usually managed, do you put all inputs into 1 class?

austere grotto
#

there isn't really a "usual" by the way, the system can and is used in many different ways by many different games

mighty spade
#

Like have 1 class that stores all the values which other gameobjects can read

austere grotto
#

No that doesn't seem like a great approach

#

That sounds like adding an unecessary middleman

#

But it really depends on your game and your circumstances

mighty spade
#

Coming from web dev, it's normal to have 1 class that has it's purpose to not mix all stuff together

austere grotto
#

There already is such a class

#

InputActionAsset

mighty spade
#

I use that but to read input from it I have to pass it many places to make it work with my state system

austere grotto
#

how is that different from passing your proposed class to many places?

mighty spade
#

To avoid using many different names and know that the name means it has something to do with input

austere grotto
#

No idea what you mean by that

mighty spade
#

it's more that when I modify something I have to back paddle a lot to fix it

#

and it get's more confusing as the project grows

#

So I normally would solve it by making classes for each purpose. Like bulletphysics class, input manager, state manager etc. As I'm fairly new in game dev the approach might be different.

austere grotto
#

What kind of change would you make and what backpedalling would result?

mighty spade
#

For example, I want to disable all inputs with a single function, or I want to add a new input that can modify another input and have it apply to five other states. I want to avoid to go into the 5 other states to add that functionality

I guess I should look again into the input player manager, after all I did get that modified version off it before even if was janky

#

something im doing wrong with that new code when compared to that

stark solstice
#

I made two keyboard control schemes - "Default" and "Pro". Im trying to use PlayerInput.SwitchCurrentControlScheme to swap between them, but no matter what I do it seems like both schemes are active at the same time. Am i misunderstanding what control schemes are? I want two differnet layouts the player can swap between.

Probably a hardware issue

#

your keyboard doesn't support that key combination

First, you need to change the action type and control type, then you can add composites

It would be great if Unity simplified this input system starting with Unity 6 and discontinued the input manager. It's annoying having to manage 500 packages just to create the inputs

#

at least for me it took almost 3 days

it would be pretty cool if unity make an update only to optimize the storage size of the packages and remove (or hide) some legacy stuff

im facing an issue where if I touch twice quickly, the second touch does not get registered.

void Update()
    {
        foreach (Touch touch in Input.touches)
        {
            if (touch.phase == TouchPhase.Began)
            {
                Debug.Log("Start. touch state: " + touch.phase);
            }
            else
            {
                if (touch.phase != TouchPhase.Stationary){
                    Debug.Log("Update. touch state: " + touch.phase);
                }
            }
        }
    }
#

The console log is like this. The bracket being the action im taking

(screen touched)
Start. touch state: Begin
(touch release, and touch again quickly)
Update. touch state: Ended
#

any ideas how I can solve this?

Guys i found a bug in input system, and i need help to fix it.

So if you using Button action, and you press this button then while pressing that button you do alt+tab, it will no more be pressed, but release trigger also not called.

What can i do to fix it?

Hello! I have two characters in my 2D scene and two input maps. As it stands now, I also have two seperate scripts, for movement. I'd like to make one script that has a slot to assign an input map, just to streamline things. I've tried to achieve as such by doing what I did below -

public InputActionAsset _fieldControls;

private void Awake() {
    _fieldControls = new InputActionAsset();
    ...
    _moveAction = _fieldControls.Player.Move;

which does result in getting the option to choose the input map when attaching the script to an object like shown.

#

However, it results in the compiler error, also attached to this as an image. How can I fix it so that I can assign an input map to the script outside of the .cs file but still have that script work with that map?

and this is the config for it

#

basically once i spawn a new player i attach the InputController to it which loads the default input map and binds it to the device that triggered the new player creation (keyboard + mouse, controler 1, controler 2) etc

#

if you instead change the map instead of the bound device you can bind a different map to each player

anyone ever use the input system with nintendo switch joycons? simply cannot get right stick to work

willow scarab
#

Whatever nintendo's doing with the joycons, it seems intentionally proprietary and most stuff is easily buggy around them

tawdry heart
#

I'm working on migrating a project from the legacy input to the new input system, is there a way I can easily map something like "Joystick Button 10" to a specific button on a gamepad??

#

I need the equivalents of JoystickButton N to gamepad button, this is because the game uses an alternative controller for inputs so the specific buttons are very important to keep the same

austere grotto
tawdry heart
#

I don't have access to the layout/mapping of Alternative controller input to gamepad input

tawdry heart
#

I'm just trying to figure out what would be "JoystickButton8" for example to its corresponding generic gamepad button

austere grotto
#

I'm not sure I understand to be honest. You don't map buttons to other buttons, you map buttons to actions

tawdry heart
#

Hckskgkdkg ok lemme try to explain it better

#

Gonna log in on PC for screenshots n stuff

#

things are worse than i thought, but basically the game currently uses the KeyCode system and the Input.GetKeyDown methods.

In this picture, Element 0 is set to JoystickButton10, and Element1 is set to JoystickButton8

Since KeyCodes are not something that properly exists in InputSystem, i need to basically map the "Equivalent" gamepad button to it.

Ergo, how could i know which "Gamepad" button is "equal" to JoystickButton8, for example.

Hi everyone! This is my first post on the Unity Discord, so I'm hoping I'm putting it in the right place. My company AccessVR has a Unity-based VR app that we use to distribute training content. We recently decided to port the app from VR to the iPad. I am doing all of this work myself. At the moment, I have a working version of the app, but the implementation feels fragile. I was hoping that we could find a way to map Touchscreen input actions through the XR Interaction Toolkit—this way, all of the interactivity in our experiences could be implemented once, and consistently, no matter whether the experience is playing through a HMD (like Quest) or on a tablet (like iPad). Happily, this sort of works, but only if the UI elements are fixed to the Camera's Z axis. It's as if the raycasts for the touchscreen events are always being drawn to some point that is really close to the camera instead of to a point that is predicted to be on the other side of the UI, allowing the ray to intersect... well... anything. Additionally, putting the UI Canvas into Screen Space, which is ideal for 2D platforms like the iPad, means they don't receive the input actions at all, even if the UI is fixed to the Z axis. Bottom line: if I put some UI out in Worldspace in a way that is not fixed to Camera Z axis, the touch screen input coordinates don't land where they should. I can work around this by adding some manual raycasting to every UI element, using Touchscreen input actions to trigger the drawing of rays, but this really defeats the purpose and simplicity of the XR Interaction Toolkit. And not being about to use Screen Space means I can't take advantage of things like dynamically resizing canvas (without coding the resize events myself). Has anyone tried anything like this before? Is there a technique I'm missing? It feels like this should work, if only I knew what I don't know I don't know 🙂

is there a way to detect whitespace characters using Keyboard.current.onTextInput in WebGL builds? From my testing it properly invokes with standard letters but fails to detect backspace, esc, arrows and other similar whitespace chars.

~~Edit: Found a solution, but it needs to individually check non-printable characters:
cs
private void OnEnable()
{
Keyboard.current.onTextInput += OnKeyInput;
}

private void OnKeyInput(char key)
{
    if (Keyboard.current.backspaceKey.wasPressedThisFrame)
        Debug.Log("Backspace pressed!");
}~~

(doesnt work I was mistaken)

# austere grotto I'd recommend using a Screen space UI for iPad. As for input working or not tha...

I thank you for your response—in the very least, it makes me feel like the way I'm describing our challenge makes sense. I think the thing I'm working to eliminate is using XR Interaction Toolkit to support both XR input bindings (like XR Controller/trigger) and Touchscreen input bindings (like Touchscreen/Press). What I have that is almost 100% functional is doing exactly this: we have a custom Action Map with a custom Action called "LeftClick_RightHand" (a weird name, I know, inherited from a much older version of the software), and it is triggered by the RightHand XR Controller/trigger binding as well as the Touchscreen/Press binding. That action is assigned to the UI Press Action input property of the XR Controller (Action-based) component on the RightHand Controller game object in our XR Player Character prefab. Through all of the prewired elements of the XR Interaction Toolkit, this means that pulling the trigger on an XR Controller and touching the screen of the iPad both have the same end result: the XR Ray Interactor casts a ray, the first element that gets touched is the thing being interacted with, and in the case of UI Canvas, the element receives a click. This works without any specific wiring on the UI elements: I don't have to tell a Button that it is specifically receiving "LeftClick_RightHand" action events, because the UI element is (I think) treated like an interactable, and so the XR Interaction Framework triggers it automatically. So again, I think where this all falls down is that the touchscreen events don't seem to have have Z axis rotation data—and the XR Controller trigger events don't either, but in the case of the XR Controller, the angle of the origin for the ray is set by whatever the transform rotation of the controller game object is at the time the trigger action fires. I just don't understand how to achieve the same thing in the touchscreen context without a custom raycaster—custom raycasting works, but then I have to...

#

...setup every UI element manually, instead of relying on the automatic "wiring" that the XR Interaction Framework does so elegantly.

#

I should note too that I am using AR Foundation here for the iPad app so that the user can "look around" in the VR space by rotating the device. And as I'm reading the AR Interaction section of the XR Interaction Framework guide, I think I am realizing that I'm missing a bunch of other built-in components such as the Screen Space Ray Interactor.

I'm trying to use my switch pro controller, but when i press any button it doesnt recognize any, additionally i have generic bindings from "Gamepad", which should cover what im trying to do, but its not working either

image.png image.png
#

the device does indeed get recognized as a switch controller
so I don't understand what is happening

image.png image.png
#

theres absolutely zero events coming through

#

software that uses SDL input has no issues with my controller (it even reads gyro input, which is what im interested on right now), so its absolutely a Unity thing

#

turning the controller on and off doesn't do anything, other than unity losing the device and bringing it back

#

I'm going through the server's chat history and it seems other users had this issue years ago, but they were all unanswered

#

This is Unity 6, by the way

still trout
distant sphinx
#

I have a xbox controller and it works just fine

#

then there's obviously keyboard and mouse, which also do work fine and the actions i have do work fine

distant sphinx
distant sphinx
#

For whatever reason now its sending one trillion events every second, this seems to line up with what some users say, but at least the buttons and mappings work now.

image.png
#

All I did was head to Steam and enable / disable their switch pro controller compatibility thing

#

Oh nevermind, its actually reasonable for it to send six million events, its probably the gyroscope

#

I do need to have steam running in the background for it to start sending data for some reason?

#

Actually enabling / disabling Steam Input for Switch Pro controllers on Steam just seems to have wake it up as it doesn't matter if its enabled / disabled it behaves the same

#

its just that enabling it "woke" it up?

distant sphinx
#

Anyways, gyro, is there a way to get it working? I tried binding it to "tilt" in many different bindings yet none works

image.png
#

only the right stick one is getting recognized

still trout
#

unity should be able to recognize the controler without steam acting as a connector

distant sphinx
#

I actually closed steam so its not running in the background and turning on / off the controller makes it no longer function in Unity

#

It just doesnt send any data

#

Actually, just opened Yuzu, and just doing that "woke" the controller up and its sending data again

#

Yuzu uses SDL, which is what I assume Steam uses internally as well (as it had Valve employees do commits to its repository regarding controllers)

#

closing Yuzu makes the controller stop sending data

#

So there's something that SDL applications do that tells (?) the controller to send data or not (????????????????)

#

I just launched Zenless Zone Zero which uses Unity and the same thing happened, the game didn't recognize my controller until I opened Yuzu

#

man.... what the hell..

#

This is all wireless, by the way

#

Thought I should mention it considering that most other users that also had this issue in the past said that wireless kinda sucks

still trout
distant sphinx
#

That is obviously not being the case, however

#

I can try wired in a bit

#

But third party software here is actually assisting it to work, otherwise it just doesnt work

#

(I just had Steam)

bitter lotus
#

I just added a friend as a collaborator and his inputs are not causing the character to move when it can work fine on my project. Is there a common issue that can cause this?

#

His project has the Input System package included, the scripts are all identical, etc. (he downloaded it straight from our repository)

Cant seem to be able to test it wired because it just gets forced to run as XInput

SwitchProControllerHID has no members holding data for gyro, though

#

I tried creating a Vector3 action and binding it to gyroscope and accelerometer paths, and it did absolutely nothing

You know, so it automatically gets wired up with that default gyroscope and accelerometer bindings that the input system offers

        public const string SwitchProControllerGyro = @"{

          ""extend"": ""SwitchProControllerHID"",

            {
            ""name"":""accelerometer"", ""displayName"": ""Accelerometer"", ""format"":""VC3S"", ""offset"":19,
            ""layout"":""Vector3"", ""processors"":""ScaleVector3(x=-1,y=-1,z=1)"", 
            ""usage"": ""<Accelerometer>/acceleration"",
            ""noisy"": true
            },
            {""name"":""accelerometer/x"", ""format"":""SHRT"", ""offset"":0 },
            {""name"":""accelerometer/y"", ""format"":""SHRT"", ""offset"":2 },
            {""name"":""accelerometer/z"", ""format"":""SHRT"", ""offset"":4 },
            {
            ""name"":""gyroscope"", ""displayName"": ""Gyroscope"", ""shortDisplayName"": ""Gyro"", ""format"":""VC3S"", ""offset"":13,
            ""layout"":""Vector3"", ""processors"":""ScaleVector3(x=-1,y=-1,z=1)"",
            ""usage"": ""<Gyroscope>/angularVelocity"",
            ""noisy"": true
            },
            {""name"":""gyroscope/x"", ""format"":""SHRT"", ""offset"":0 },
            {""name"":""gyroscope/y"", ""format"":""SHRT"", ""offset"":2 },
            {""name"":""gyroscope/z"", ""format"":""SHRT"", ""offset"":4 }
          ]}";

this is what I have right now, usage just doesn't work

distant sphinx
#

Okay i got it to work, just had to add it to the action

#

So as a breakdown, that layout there exposes gyroscope and accelerometer data, that can be used as a layout override with InputSystem.RegisterLayoutOverride(LayoutJson);
I managed to figure this out thanks to a Unity Japan video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D66gfvktrnM which has example code in a repo in the video description, and actually goes to explain gyro and other stuff

Also looking through this server's message history, this user had a issue with Filter Noise on current toggled on not working as expected with the Switch Pro Controller. That problem went entirely unanswered at the moment but it happens because the controller by default isn't marked as noisy

#

More resources to read would be https://github.com/dekuNukem/Nintendo_Switch_Reverse_Engineering/blob/master/imu_sensor_notes.md , which says things like Internally Switch uses revolutions per second instead of degrees. That's why the gyro calibration is always 13371. which would explain some other issue I've read in the chat history where an user was confused about the data that the controller was giving
