#

any help with this please?

austere grotto
#

Use the event system for all your touch interactions instead of handling them manually like this and you'll get this behavior for free

quasi chasm
austere grotto
#

And all of those things could be handled with the pointer and drag events

quasi chasm
#

Also, how's multitouch handled in this solution?

austere grotto
#

is multitouch a requirement?

quasi chasm
#

Like pinch or something. Would I be able to detect it?

#

I mean it'd be nice to be able to add it someday

#

And not lock myself out architecturally

austere grotto
#

it can be done this way, but multitouch is best handled with the enhanced touch API. It definitely complicates things.

quasi chasm
#

Either via input system, or via touch api

austere grotto
quasi chasm
#

Is there a convenient way to detect if a touch clicked on some ui element? Take a screen position and do a IsRaycastableUIAtThisPosition

austere grotto
#

Or what if one finger is on UI and one not

austere grotto
#

the cheapo way is EventSystem.IsPointerOverGameObject but that's not going to cover your multitouch use cases well either

quasi chasm
quasi chasm
austere grotto
#

yeah that cheapo way also doesn't work if you use the event system for anything other than UI

quasi chasm
#

Where can I read more about this? I always did just normal raycasts

#

How do I do a ui-specific raycast

austere grotto
#

(sorry these are 2019 docs but the principle is the same)

quasi chasm
#

Thanks

#

Hopefully doing it a few times a frame is fine

Hello. I am development a game for mobile, but when I play in Play mode in Unity, the game runs good. But when I make the build for android. The game goes slowly and the movements are not the same that in Unity… what have I to do?

Is there a way to navigate title screen buttons with keyboard and mouse ?

austere grotto
#

you can navigate with a mouse or with a keyboard

#

After the scary email today, when anyone updated their version of Unity, did you have issues of inputs no longer working? Because that is my current issue

austere grotto
drifting sandal
austere grotto
#

Check your input system settings

drifting sandal
#

I tried quitting unity and reopening. inputs still aren't working

austere grotto
drifting sandal
#

yeah. inputs work in the debugger

#

I'm also using the PlayerInput component if that matters

austere grotto
#

then it's probably something like a control schemes issue

#

And/Or - you have more than one PlayerInput in the scene

drifting sandal
#

it wouldn't be that, because it worked this morning before doing the Unity Version update. SO something broke during/after updating the Unity version to one of the new patches

#

i'm manually updating the input system just to see if that 'wakes it up' or something (i see there is an update available)

#

YAY! updating the insput system fixed it!

half herald
# austere grotto yes

The issue I am having is I have to click on the button in order for the game to register the keyboard. I would like to know how I can make this immediate? I have set it so that when the keys are selected they change to red. I also have the inspector set up like this for the event system.

#

Here's a video demo of my issue. I have to actually click on the buttons for it to allow me to move up and down with the w,s and up and down arrow keys.

#

I could really use the help im not too familiar with how to set this up properly

How to Set Input

To set Active Input Handling, go to:
Project Settings > Player > Active Input Handling

• Input Manager (Old): Use the original Input settings.
• Input System Package (New): Uses the new input system package.
• Both: Use both systems.

Hello, I have two scenes with one being my main scene and one being a minigame scene that I wanted to load using LoadSceneMode.Additive. The two scenes have PlayerInputs in them with different action map and I'm having trouble understanding how do I manage this system. Do I only keep one player input and have the minigame subscribe to it's action map events and then switch it ?

#

Here are the two player inputs with their Unity Events

#

You can initialize it in a bootstrapping scene.

But if this game is not local multiplayer you can use another workflow

I see thank you ! I'll just subscribe with the Fishing Pole minigame then

hi

#

i think its a input problem

#

not about the input system itself but...

#

i made a custom joystick (its old i made it like 5 years ago i think)
its not the first time i use it so i know its not the issue here,

for the games i made it, i was using either third person or 2d directly so i never have this problem.

im taking on a new project with some things on going and one of the things that was pissing me off its the character moving very off from the previous joystick...

i switched to my then i realized that i get a new problem

#

the game is 2.5D and the movement are calculated in a more raw way

#

so the problem is.
i need to change my input from x(-1,1) y(-1,1) (circle since its normalized) to a eliptical shape

#

how can i calculate it?

https://paste.mod.gg/xtcmnocztjja/0 I think thats all the relevant scripts. I initialize the game, which sets the windows/ pause state etc. when pause is pressed it fires off an event, pause manager switches states, ui panels turn on and off based on state

austere grotto
#

Enabling or disabling action maps on that copy is not going to have any effect on the InputActionReferences

#

Because they refer to the original asset

#

If you did for example pauseAction.action.actionMap then you'd get the map that InputAction is a part of

oh... that's, confusing lol. Thanks, I appreciate you taking a look. I'll go check the documentation again, I must have misunderstood unity's tutorial video.

# austere grotto Though to be honest I'm not sure I understand why you need this

there was a distortion when the input as been transfering the vector2 (hud joystick) to the player (on 2.5d) i thought it as the distortion of the 2.5d was messing of the right direction...
actually it was the projection...
i was using the camera (right and forward) to point the direction... but the camera itself was inclinetad... so thats is the source of the shit.
bcs the camera was inclinated, the forward and backward was "retuning 1 or -1" when translating to the player movement but something around 0.7 or -0.7.

so insted of moving and rotating in a circle... it was moving and rotating on a eliptical shape... and i was trying to correct it
(since now i know what was happening i already solved it, but tks anyway)

I am building some menu based controls, and I want to know there preferred design pattern. Do you make one click handler for everything and route based on the button name (fewer files but more messy), or one click handler class per button (tons of files, but each has only one purpose)?

i have a problem with the editor input read (i think thats it at last)

so i have 2 scripts that derivates from the same script for my input system (a mobile script (for touch and custom joystick) and a pc script (for axis and mouse click))
currently im using the old input system in the script (im used to the old one)

(for the settup of the project im using both input systems)

today i was testing responsivity of the screen and i realized that the pc script stops reading the axis when i swith the game view from game to simulator

still trout
#

you are most likely just reading Input.mousePosition without enabling touch simulation

#

Set Input.simulateMouseWithTouches to true or use Input.touches[] instead of mousePosition

light belfry
#

i removed my check for the device type in the scrips and in my player settings for mobile are all set to both input system handles

light belfry
#

the mobile simulation is working fine

#

the problem is my normal/pc stops working

#

even if i force the pc read

still trout
#

So it works on a device but not in the simulator tab?

light belfry
#

i didnt connet the device yet, just the editor

#

wait

still trout
#

Yes, then please read the text again

light belfry
#

im explaning it badly

still trout
#

you are now getting touches instead of mousePositions

light belfry
#

ok, again.

my input for mobile (touches and mouse) are working fine

#

my problem is

light belfry
#

the engine base inputs (get axis ("horizontal")-get axis("vertical")-get button("custom")) stops working

still trout
#

you usually trigger them by pressing WASD?

light belfry
#

yep

still trout
#

can you show the code where you read them?

you want both scrips or just the not readying one?

Hi everyone, I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I’m trying to create a settings section in my GUI where the player can choose their keybinds. I’m using the new Unity Input System and I’m not really sure how to do it. Could someone help me, or maybe point me to a good tutorial?

Input Manager. What will a key or pad button return?
I know a Vector2 binding will return Vector2, but a key? A bool, or something else?

EDIT: The exception said, it's a "float" - but could I have known in advance?

# fierce compass also, that's not the inputmanager - that's the old system, your screenshot (and ...

I was mixing things up in my head then. I meant the new input system.
Though... my button press detection suffers from bouncing.
I get them from the input system (from active action map) with:

        pauseInputVal = inputActionPause.ReadValue<float>();

        if(1f == pauseInputVal) // Button presssed?
        {
            toggglePause();
        }

Using ESC or a controller "start" button shows clear bouncing, toggling my pause screen on and off unreliably.
Is there a better way to avoid picking up physical button bouncing?

fierce compass
#

use WasPressedThisFrame for the check (and if you do need to check if it's currently pressed, use IsPressed instead of the == 1f check)

Hey, i have a system which shows in UI, some keybinds hints like "[E] Interact", and when I rebind my key, (if the hint is disabled, next time it'll show up and show the correct keybind. However, if the player is close to the point where the hint is displayed, if he just rebind while he's standing in front of the hint, the hint won't be updated unless the player go away and go back to the "hint point".

I tried to do some event in the RebindActionUI class, however this event can't be subscribe from a script from my namespace, so it doesn't work at all
Does anyone know a solution ?

I want to migrate fully to the New Input System in my solitaire game
the problem is when I want to use it for UI and GameObjects and both of those are enabled, it just doesn't detect interactions for GameObjects

        // ...
        private void OnMouseDown()
        {

            // Create stack if suitable
            if (!Revealed || !Slot.IsStackable(this) || Manager.DisabledInteractions) return;
            Slot.OnStackGrab(this);
            // _stack = Slot.OnStackGrab(this);
        }

        public void OnPointerDown(PointerEventData eventData)
        {
            Debug.Log($"OnPointerDown! {name}");
        }

        {
            Debug.Log($"OnPointerEnter! {name}");
        }
}

once I disable UIDocument with overlaying GUI, it detects those interactions with GameObjects
how to set this input system and ui toolkit that it would let those events pass through the ui layer

you´d need some kind of time based function, keypress and keyrelease to determine how long the key has been down, after keyrelease you can perform your jump and multiply with that small timer

upbeat dragon

Hi please help me understand what all of the ForceMode things are for

#

im not sure which one to use for regular movement and jumping

#

i tried ForceMode.Force for movement but my player isn't moving

carmine cedar
carmine cedar
upbeat dragon
#

ok

oblique raven
#

i agree, it has to be something else.

upbeat dragon
austere grotto
upbeat dragon
#

whats that

austere grotto
#

it's the place to do physics

#

If you do physics in Update your game will play differently at different framerates

upbeat dragon
#

ohh okay

austere grotto
#

as for why your object is not moving it could be all kinds of things

#

start by showing the inspector of the object in question

oblique raven
#

probaly using the new input system but using code for the old input

upbeat dragon
#

ohh shoot thats probably the issue

#

i changed it but sometimes it goes back to the new input system

#

let me check rq

oblique raven
#

you should have many warning and errors in the console though

upbeat dragon
#

nope it isnt that

#

it just says the field Movement.force is nevr used

#

as a warning

oblique raven
#

if you are planning to use with WASD you should consider making use of Horizontal and Vertical axis instead

upbeat dragon
#

wdym

austere grotto
#

we should focus on the "why isn't the object moving" part before changing other things

#

Show us the inspector please

oblique raven
#

true sry

upbeat dragon
austere grotto
#

even better would be the whole uncropped unity window with that showing, tbh

upbeat dragon
#

here

austere grotto
upbeat dragon
#

yeah it is

#

nothing happens

austere grotto
#

can you run the game with the console window open and you pressing the W key, and show a screenshot of that?

upbeat dragon
#

ok

#

nothing happens

austere grotto
#

show the full window

upbeat dragon
austere grotto
#

and show what's set there

upbeat dragon
austere grotto
upbeat dragon
austere grotto
#

Also are there any other scripts in the scene?

upbeat dragon
#

no

austere grotto
#

Can you try changing rb.AddForce(Vector3.forward * 2, ForceMode.Force); to rb.AddForce(Vector3.forward * 2000, ForceMode.Force);?

upbeat dragon
#

ok

austere grotto
#

Oh also make sure you've actually saved your code changes

upbeat dragon
#

wth it works but it went wayy too fast

#

but if i do like 4 or smth it doesnt work

austere grotto
#

right - so now, move your Update code into FixedUpdate and put force instead of 2000, then you can modify it in the inspector

#

you probably also want it to be float force not int force so you can have decimals

upbeat dragon
#

ok where do i find it

#

the force variable in inspector

#

aha got it

upbeat dragon
#

hi i have another problem im not sure how to make a good jump mechanic where it has the momentum from moving and also jumps

#

if i try to make a simple jump mechanic it starts moving in the air

#

and doesnt come down

upbeat dragon
#

if(jumped == false)
{
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space) && isGrounded())
{
rb.AddForce(Vector3.up*100, ForceMode.Impulse);
jumped = true;
}
}

if (jumped && rb.position.y>=5)
{
jumped = false;
}

#

public bool isGrounded()
{
return rb.linearVelocity.y < .01f; //if its 0 or almost 0 then its true
}

austere grotto
#

you will have a negative y velocity any time you are falling.

#

i.e. any part of the second half of the jump

upbeat dragon
austere grotto
upbeat dragon
#

so it is 0 when its on the ground

#

wait ohh but if its falling it would be negative

austere grotto
upbeat dragon
#

so the isGrounded check would go off even if its falling

austere grotto
#

Basically checking the y velocity is not a good proxy for a ground check

upbeat dragon
austere grotto
#

nope. You can have ground at any position presumably

#

unless your game design specifically precludes that

upbeat dragon
#

yeah im trying to make a platformer

#

so it will have some floors in the air

#

is there like a collide function or whatever

#

to check if it collides with cubes

austere grotto
#

Most people use physics queries to detect the ground

upbeat dragon
#

ooh whats that

austere grotto
#

things like Raycast or BoxCast for example

#

or OverlapBox

upbeat dragon
#

huuhh

#

oh wait i can just check if the velocity is exactly 0

#

if its grounded it wont slightly move

#

YESS it works

austere grotto
#

It will work 99% of the time though

#

but it won't work if your player can run up or down slopes

upbeat dragon
#

no it wont run up slopes atleast not for this one

#

ok now i just have to fix my actual jumping

upbeat dragon
#

hi im wondering something

#

so for isGrounded() im trying to use physics.raycast to check if it hits the floor but the problem is im not sure what the maxDistance should be

#

is there a way of finding it out

#

or should i just tinker with the numbers

austere grotto
#

for example if you start the raycast from the center of your player, and your player is 2 units tall, then you would expect the ground to be about 1 unit away from the center of the player when he's standing on the ground, right? So you would do a raycast of maybe 1.05 units long, to add a little padding

#

it all depends on from where you originate the raycast and how far that is from your player's feet

upbeat dragon
#

ohhh

#

so if i want it grounded then i would start the raycast at the bottom

#

so like .5

#

.05

#

for padding purposes

wait no

#

ohh i understand

#

so basically for demonstrations sake it shoots a beam down from the player
and then it checks if it encounters something in that distance

#

if it doesnt encountr anything then its airborne

#

otherwise its grounded

Hey guys got a question. Please ping me as soon as possible but with the new input action, are you able to use it with Player pref settings to say, invert the Y axis of the look, increase/decrease sensitivity, etc? And what I mean by this is strictly set the processors to the player pref settings, or am I going to have to hard code them in??

Hi gyus, i have a little problem
I implemented the key rebinding system with the new input system and it works perfectly, i have only one problem, when i change a keybind and close the game, when i open the game the keybinds in the settings pnael shows the default keybind and not the one the user chose
do someone knows why?

btw i used this tutorial to implement it:
https://youtu.be/qXbjyzBlduY

I have an Xbox Wireless Controller paired through Bluetooth right? So how do I access it within Unity?

#

Gamepad.all does not show any results

I've tried various Input wrappers including OpenXR and it just doesn't show up.

The Input System doesn't even see the GamePad (Xbox Controller)

I have a setup in Unity where, in the main menu, devices are connected and for each device a GameObject is created with a PlayerInput component, which is bound to that device. The problem is that when I load a level, there is already a character with a PlayerInput component, and it can no longer be controlled because the device is only bound to the GameObject created in the menu. What is the best way to handle this?

austere grotto
#

It's 1:1 PlayerInput to human

#

Often it's best to just have a "stub" object with the PI and use some glue code to modularly connect it to stuff as needed such as menu controls, player characters, etc

waxen geyser
austere grotto
#

Each PI is tied to a human

#

If you're going to have persistent ones from a bootstrap scene, don't spawn new ones in the new scene

#

You could/should use PlayerInputManager to spawn them BTW

got a question on the Input Actions Editor.

the action properties panel is broken

interactions and processors dont pop up when i add them

i sent something on some discussions.unity.com but those are kinda slow and discord has always been faster for me

# opaque gorge interactions and processors dont pop up when i add them

Im in the action editor,
action type: button.

Interactions is blank right now
but in trying to add a 'hold' interaction
i click the plus, click 'hold' when it appears
but nothing appears.

the dull message saying 'no interactions has been added' disappears, but nothing appears in its place

#

my teacher has said something about it bieng some 'NullReferenceException' though he couldnt help much because he isn't experienced with this new input system

#

and i have no clue whats relevant or whats happening because i am not a programmer, but just some design student brute forcing the programming with tutorials from youtube.

Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙏

these are the errors

#

so seems like it did create the interaction, since the "no interactions" thing disappeared. the errors seem to suggest that it's having trouble drawing the interactions.

save the asset, and then try restarting the editor

#

if that doesn't work then try a library reset

opaque gorge
#

no dice

#

library reset...?

#

is that deleting the library file and letting unity do its own thing?

fierce compass

close the project, delete the Library folder, and then reopen the project

it'll take longer to open since it has to rebuild the library

Hello everyone, I'm new here and I came to ask a question!

#

I'm trying to find a way to transform an action on a UI button to a UI navigation event

#

On the left is a list of buttons (all UI) and the circle will be "selection wheel"

image.png
#

Basically, I want to be able to "scroll" that wheel and it triggers a Nivigation event on the button list, going up and down

#

Right now I have it setup and it works, but I'm not using the navigation and if I want to put another "menu" on the screen it will not work, so I want to make it "universal" to all my menus and navigate on this black screen

#

I have the new input system on, and I say there's a mapping for the UI navigation. Basically I want that my "OnScroll" event on the wheel translates to a "Up" or "Down" of the UI inpout mapping

#

Right now this is how it's setup

#

The wheel:

Hi guys, I'm trying to save the input the user chose so that the ui can be also updated, but i'm having some problems in importing the namespace, do someone knows why?

#

adapt the code into your own work, don't use them in your actual project

#

or if i can solve in another way

you could copy that, but when i went through the samples to make my own rebinding UI, i copied mostly just the logic and handled the linking myself

Hello, do you know why i have this yellow msg ?

fierce compass
#

it's a warning that using the default input actions asset as the asset for a PlayerInput is not intended

#

it's not usually an issue

acoustic gull
#

i should create a new one to not have this message right?

fierce compass
#

no

#

you could just.. unassign the default input actions asset

#

or the alternative would be not using PlayerInput

#

you don't need to create a new one just to avoid the message

acoustic gull

Its a bit weird no? to have this msg cuz you are using default, but thanks for answer i'll just go throught

I'm a bit puzzled on how to clear these

fierce compass
toxic lintel
#

Yep.

fierce compass
#

there's your issue

#

you have to clear these yourself if you don't have the domain reload doing it

toxic lintel
#

I'm trying that but Dispose doesn't work and I can't clear a lambda.

fierce compass
toxic lintel
#

I'm aware, yes 😄

fierce compass
#

ah wait it's an event isn't it

toxic lintel
#

Yeah it's an event

fierce compass
#

ok, rip that

#

why not make it into a method then, i guess?

toxic lintel
#

Because it's 30 input mappings

fierce compass
#

or make a reference for it

fierce compass
toxic lintel
#

It'd need 30 methods

#

As opposed to

image.png
fierce compass
#

it'd need 1 method

#

oh shoot, it's a closure

toxic lintel
#

Yeah, both mapping and context are different

#

Context, of course, we can pass. But not mapping

#

Currently experimenting with storing the lambdas

#

Right. This did the trick;

Action<InputAction.CallbackContext> callback = context => Invoke(mapping, context);
_callbacks.Add(callback);
                
action.performed += callback;
action.started += callback;
action.canceled += callback;

so i wanted to ask if nothing bad will come from having one input system on an object that is destroyed than that input system being transferred to anther obj (I have an egg that once destroyed will give you a playable character with the egg and player having an input system attached to them) the problem is when the egg is destroyed and the player is spawned I cant move the player at all.

austere grotto

It is a little unclear to me why you need 3 actions though

I found AnyKey in the input actions Keyboard bindings.. but I'm also hunting for an equivilent for GamePad.. but i can't seem to find that

#

if its even possible.. any suggestions?

the only thing I know to do is use the .current

        private bool AnyInputPressed()
        {
            // Keyboard
            bool keyboard = Keyboard.current != null && Keyboard.current.anyKey.wasPressedThisFrame;

            // Gamepad
            bool gamepad = Gamepad.current != null &&
                           Gamepad.current.allControls.Any(c => c is ButtonControl b && b.isPressed);

            // Mouse
            bool mouse = Mouse.current != null &&
                         (Mouse.current.leftButton.wasPressedThisFrame ||
                          Mouse.current.rightButton.wasPressedThisFrame ||
                          Mouse.current.middleButton.wasPressedThisFrame);

            return keyboard || gamepad || mouse;
        }```
distant raptor
#

nevermind.. since i really dont understand Linq i've redone it in a for loop

   var controls = Gamepad.current.allControls;
    for (int i = 0; i < controls.Count; i++)
    {
        if (controls[i] is ButtonControl button && button.wasPressedThisFrame)
        {
            gamepadLoop = true;
            break;
        }
    }``` it'll work for now

Hi! I'm having an issue with the new input system when I try to control the button up (released) state.
"InputActionPhase.Canceled" is supposed to tell when the button is released, but it is triggered too if any other button is pressed.

Anyone knows if this is a bug or if I should setup the inputaction mappings any different?

distant raptor
#

im still at teh very infancy of my input-system education.. so i can't suggest solutions... but maybe the 2-cents above helps out a little 🍀

#

ohh also check ur cursor's state.. Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked;
if its locked or something it may not get its delta's

kind vault
distant raptor
# kind vault I'm not sure what you mean about composites. The use case is: I hold "Y" button ...

composite inputs is a single Input Action but its made up of multiple controls..

like combining multiple buttons or axes into one logical input
for example WASD keys -> Move vector would be a solid example Unity treats it as one action but internally watches four seperate keys..

each control in a composite can start/stop the action independently
pressing one key may cancel the previous key's contribution..

#

im testing right now.. tho to confirm my suspicions.. (im still very much learning so i wouldn't take my advice completely to heart.. instead take it w/ a grain of salt..)

i think theres a way to log which button/ input triggers the Performed and Cancelled callbacks

#

do u have that device simulator touchscreen as well?

image.png
distant raptor
#

soo its possible thats the culprit.. can't say for sure tho

hardy abyss
distant raptor
#

When the Device Simulator or a touchscreen is enabled, Unity may disable other pointer devices to avoid conflicting input.

hardy abyss
#

does it tell how to disable it? cz when i "Play" it always returns

distant raptor
#

maybe in the PlayerInput / actionmap thingy?

#

im not sure in honesty..

image.png
#

im learning as i go 😅

hardy abyss
distant raptor
#

thats another thing i was going to mention.. is making sure you had the correct components in the scene.. im not 💯 what those are tho

#

usually the EventSystem is related in some way or fashion

image.png
#

ahh nevermind.. quick search says that stuff is more about the UI driven stuff (buttons, sliders, etc)

#

shouldn't interfere

kind vault
#

well, finally I came to a very dirty solution to keep track if a button is pressed, no matter if any other buttons are being pressed or released:

Gamepad.current.buttonNorth.ReadValue();

Will return 1 if the button is pressed and 0 if not. I would have extected context.ReadValue<int>() to return the same value, but it doesn't

fierce compass
austere grotto
kind vault
#

"it should be ReadValue<float>" and return >0.5 if pressed, but it returns 0 too

context.ReadValueAsButton() also returns false while the button is still pressed.

I believe Unity is pre-processing something between the raw button push, which is captured directly from the gamepad, and the callback. Sadly I can't find in the Unity's doc what is causing this behaviour.

I'm planning to create a prototype, where I can switch between a RC car, drone and a regular character. How do I architect the whole Input system.

Just exposing the generated class instance

#

The generated class already exposes all the actions etc. no need to duplicate that

austere grotto
stable oriole
#

Or we could just make the generated class a singleton and get its reference wherever needed? Wouldn't this be more simple @austere grotto ? Why just create a manager class just to expose the reference of the generated class.

#

Did you suggest the creation of Manager class as it is preferred to not modify the generated class?

austere grotto
stable oriole
kind vault
# austere grotto Can you share more about your setup? What workflow are you using?

It's pretty basic setup. Just the input actions system action I sent above, and a "Invoke Unity Events" Behaviour on the Player Input component. The code is pretty basic too:

public void GrabAction(CallbackContext context)
{
//TODO: find another aproach to this!!
float buttonNorthValue = Gamepad.current.buttonNorth.ReadValue();

if (context.phase == UnityEngine.InputSystem.InputActionPhase.Started)
{
    grab = true; 
}
if (context.phase == UnityEngine.InputSystem.InputActionPhase.Canceled && buttonNorthValue == 0)
{
    grab = false;
}

}

Nice use of [Header], that’s cool. And well, that’s like the bare minimum right there. I don’t even see any animator related stuff etc, it gets more complicated Unity
Remember that with configuration stuff like gravity jump height etc, scriptable objects can be great. For 2 main reasons - being able to save/duplicate/etc an entire config, easily switch at runtime, and changes stay after Play mode exits.
A cool motion matching asset called MxM uses that “scriptable object config” stonks

you have a PlayerInput set to SendMessages - an event-based approach, but you aren't actually receiving any messages and you're polling one of the actions and attaching events to another

        float ZoomInputValue = InputManager.Instance.ZoomAction();

        BatchPlanMap.enabled = ZoomInputValue == 0;
        
        if (ZoomInputValue < 0)
        {
            Debug.Log("shrink");
        }
        else if (ZoomInputValue > 0)
        {
            Debug.Log("zoom");
        }
    }```

and i let any UI that need to listen the gesture to call and listen the function
#

BatchPlanMap is a scroll rect , because pinching two finger actions might have conflicts with dragging/moving grid layout , that will cause glitches

#

so , if pinching action is detected, disable the scroll rect to remove conflicts

#

if pinching is not detected, enable the scroll rect

#

it works tho, not that performant i think?

# meager zephyr I barely understand anything 💀

you are not alone, the input system documentation is terrible at giving you a good idea how it is supposed to work. Some of the recommendations in it are terrible (particularly the recommendation to use the singleton accessor + Find("ActionName")*). And nobody knows why they are maintained. Regardless it is a system worth learning. But nobody can give you a recipe for how to use it that allows you to skip understanding its many options to use it competently.

*).Find() should be replaced by serialized InputActionReference fields.

#

InputActionReference is my preferred way to go

#

you neatly assign references to the actions you need

toxic lintel
#

I use FindAction(string) so I can bind them to an enum

#

There was a reason for this thinkies

coral jasper
#

my way is to have a dedicated manager to store the asset reference

#

i know enhanced supports cant be used with input action on same behavior

#

i just make sure theyre not conflicting

bright stump
#

This FindAction stuff?! Can you not reference actions in the Inspector at least instead of grabbing them by string in code? I suppose you could serialize the strings but still bad...

Is the documentation wrong about mouse input - InputSystem.Mouse.current.leftButton.isPressed - Mouse is not present

fair wigeon
#

actually, i think you need either UnityEngine.InputSystem.Mouse.(...) or just Mouse if you have the using statement

fierce compass
#

Mouse exists in the UnityEngine.InputSystem namespace, so as cookie said

#

InputSystem is also a class in that same namespace

bright stump
#

OK thanks - its just the docs showing the namespace in the statement when should start Mouse... I think that is bad docs really

#

Also from microsoft: DO NOT use the same name for a namespace and a type in that namespace.

fierce compass
bright stump
fierce compass
#

ah, yep, that's definitely wrong in the docs

bright stump

It was a poor decision to add a class with same name as namespace, but is there other docs?

Do touch devices emulate mouse input by default in new system? There seems no option in new API

stable oriole
#

Vector2 lookInput = inputSystemActions.Player.Look.ReadValue<Vector2>();

Is giving me a huge value during the start and rotating my camera to a random rotation. But other than that it's fine.

I've tried flushing the input on the first frame, but it still starts with pointing to a random rotation on the start.

fair wigeon
stable oriole
#

yes

fair wigeon
#

if you start playing using a hotkey instead does that still happen

stable oriole
#

I'll try that

bright stump
#

anybody handle both mouse and touch and combine them into 1 down/move/up type mapped system? It would seem annoying to setup separate systems for basic mouse-first games. You can simulate touch but seems both ways not just touch to mouse which maybe is fine though not sure what happens behind scenes

bright stump
#

was it really needed to have .current for things like a keyboard? Could they not have had Keyboard.commaKey.wasPressedThisFrame which would return false if no keyboard?!

austere grotto
bright stump
#

well technically current can be null though

#

But for typing's sake I am using a function now - hopefully compiles down!

fierce compass
#

(also, what praetor suggested is also technically a function)

bright stump
#

Is there something like sensitivity, gravity, snap for actions in new system?

austere grotto
#

No gravity one at the moment though

bright stump
#

Yeah I made a custom processor now for sensitivity and snap as per the old one, but can not handle gravity as no callback if no input!

fierce compass
#

if you have a question, feel free to ask

austere grotto
# bright stump Yeah I made a custom processor now for sensitivity and snap as per the old one, ...

something like gravity is tricky if you're using an event-based workflow because it involves changing the input value on a synthetic cadence without the actual hardware input changing

If you're willing to eschew events you can write a processor with the EvaluateOnEveryRead caching policy: https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.15/api/UnityEngine.InputSystem.InputProcessor.CachingPolicy.html

Otherwise I recommend just implementing gravity in Update outside the input system with MoveTowards.

I want to build something small for altctrlgdc, and was curious if anyone has experience with using gyroscopes in unity? I tried using a wii remote with an api (wiimote api) but it wasnt the most polished considering it's like 15 years old, and want to look into alternatives. The wii remote is actually the perfect size fit for the alternate controller we're sticking it in, and while Ive seen some people use their phones somehow, a phone is just too big atm (might use it anyway but again, wanna see alternatives due to size). Are there specific pieces of hardware I could use that will work with unity? I literally just need to access the rotation of it so I can create the controller, and im not sure where to look/start

Does anyone know how to enable gyroscope as an input method in 2d?

Can someone help me understand how to use this? Like dm me or just send it right here? Because im trying to start my dream project but I need to learn basics first 😭 I just want to know if I use InputAction or InputActionMap for movement and what not. Im desperate help me

fair wigeon
# plucky pecan Can someone help me understand how to use this? Like dm me or just send it right...

an input action is an individual thing you can do, which has bindings
an input action could be something like movement, shooting, etc etc - each of them can have one or multiple keys bound to it

while an input action map is a collection of input actions, which you can toggle on and off, so you can have one for, say, walking around, one for when you're driving a vehicle, one when you're swimming, and so on

#

input actions are what you'd use to actually read input

plucky pecan
#

Like examplere yk?

fair wigeon
# plucky pecan Thanks. But like. How do I use it?

many ways, the (imo) easiest is just creating some actions (double click the input actions thingy in your file system - should be there by default in newer versions), then in code you can serialize an InputActionReference, which lets you assign the correct action in the inspector

#

then, you can access the InputActionReference's .action property, which is the actual input action

#

that has events, like .performed, .canceled and some others

plucky pecan
#

Sick

fair wigeon
#

which you can subscribe to

plucky pecan
fair wigeon
#

you can also use action.ReadValue<Type>(), which returns the value for it (the most common use case is when you have a composite (2d, like a joystick) action, for which the type would be Vector2)

fair wigeon
plucky pecan
plucky pecan
#

Now I just need to remember this

fair wigeon
#

i mean subscribe to the events, which means make a method get called when they're invoked

plucky pecan
#

#

I have a course in code4fun

#

But I just forget it all

#

Cause I dont practice

#

Im so good at this stuff ngl

fair wigeon
#

the input actions also have other properties and methods, which you can read in the docs

plucky pecan
#

I tried reading the documentation

#

Too many words

#

And, well, im a dumbass sooo

fair wigeon
#

reading docs is pretty much essential to almost any form of programming, so it's definitely something you'll have to learn at some point

Is it possible to create a SmoothDamp Processor? Or some kind of damping effect to the input system itself? I can do this easily in a movement script, but I'd have to manage different damping for different control methods where it seems logically better for the input system to handle this.

#

you probably cant use them for a smoothdamp though because they need to be stateless

vale zodiac
fierce compass
#

if OnShoot is supposed to receive messages from a PlayerInput, you aren't supposed to call it yourself

vale zodiac
fierce compass
#

set a press & release interaction, then in the message, you can check if it was pressed (you'll receive a message when it's released too) to update a state accordingly

just leave it default

do you get me

fierce compass

i do not

vale zodiac
#

i am working on shooting system and i want to when i hold it keep printing

fierce compass
#

what do you think press point does

#

it's unrelated to detecting holding a button

#

it's just for analog inputs, it's the threshold to consider the button "pressed"

vale zodiac
#

ok but i am aking to keep printing when i keep holding and that is not what i got

fierce compass
#

if you have it set to press & release, you will get 2 OnShoot messages. once when you press the button, and once when you release the button. you can check which one it is via the InputValue, with the isPressed field

then, based on those messages, you have to keep track of a state yourself

#

you could alternatively do polling for this action specifically, but that kinda goes against using the playerinput

#

pseudocode:```cs
bool held

Update() {
if (held) {
// currently being held
}
}

OnAction(InputValue x) {
if (x.isPressed) {
// was pressed this frame
held = true;
} else {
// was released this frame
held = false;
}
// you could also do
// held = x.isPressed;
}

Is there a way to use Left Trigger [Gamepad] and Right Trigger [Gamepad] as axes, like with the old input system? I tried setting the action to Value/Axis, but it only returns 1 or 0 when I try to get the value as a float.

#

^Nvm. My controller can switch between controller types, and it was in Switch mode which only outputs digital Triggers. Switched to Xbox mode and it started working as expected.

My play testers have told me that the standard Unity Character Controller feels awful. I need a kinematic one and have tried KCC in the asset store but I can't retro fit it into my game (which is FPS and the controller is setup as 3rd person). Anyone know of any other kinematic character controllers they would recommend? Many thanks!

hey guys, so Im just using the stock UI.Navigate (Pass throigh Vector2) Action and trying to navigate through a menu with that. Im binding to .performed and it works fine with keyboard and dpad.

However, when i move the joystick It fires like a million times. Huh? I could do something quick and dirty to handle it myself but there must be a way to make this work within the input system

#

.started and .cancelled seem to do nothing when its pass through

austere grotto
austere grotto
sullen pebble
#

the default is kind of a pain

#

i just want a simple menu to scroll through

#

dont wanna deal with what happens when u deselect stuff or use the mouse

#

and ive had issues before with having to micromanage navigation connections

#

this is just a number that goes up or down

austere grotto
#

Is there a rason you need to use an event-based workflow here?

#

I would just use Update

sullen pebble
#

how

austere grotto
#

wdym?

sullen pebble
#

if I read the input from update it will switch every frame

#

right

austere grotto
#

Only if you code it very naively

#

the default navigation handles this stuff, but yes you would need to inplement your own timers etc.

#

you will need to do that anyway

#

even if you're using the event based workflow

sullen pebble
#

the event workflow was supposed to be easier but performed acts weirdly

#

alright

austere grotto
#

The event workflow is not well suited for all tasks

austere grotto
sullen pebble
#

its for a little thing just thought maybe it would be something I missed

austere grotto
#

for passthrough it will fire every time the input device actuation changes

#

if we're talking about a joystick yeah that will often be pretty much every frame

sullen pebble
#

it just says like

#

“performed it fired when the action is performed”

austere grotto
#

Pass-Through

Pass-Through Actions bypass the conflict resolution process described above for Value Actions and don't use the concept of a specific Control driving the Action.*** Instead, any change to any bound Control triggers a callback with that Control's value***. This is useful if you want to process all input from a set of Controls.

sullen pebble
#

ok i just missed that

austere grotto
#

when performed happens depends on the interaction you have set on the action

sullen pebble
#

man where was any of this when I was trying to research

#

thanks

#

last question is there any way to use the default navigation system that isn’t using buttons being selected and setting up all the transitions individually

#

id just like to extract out the direction the user wants to move in

austere grotto
#

the automatic navigation mode works pretty fine.

but uh - if you're having trouble with the passthrough default action why don't you just make your own input action for it

sullen pebble
#

like as a button action type

#

or just change the default action

austere grotto
#

not a button. As a Value/Vector2

sullen pebble
#

i maybe wasn’t clear mean editing the input action was mostly what I was asking for help with

#

even after years I still feel like such a noob with this system

#

could you outline what the input action would be and how the script would handle it?

#

cuz idk what you mean just by that

austere grotto
#

i mean the script will depend on your workflow for handling input in the first place

#

but the action itself would just be:
Action Type: Value
Control Type: Vector2

#

bind it to whatever you want to bind it to

sullen pebble
#

then would you read it or get an event or what

austere grotto
#

you would read it however you want

#

like I said it depends on your current workflow

sullen pebble
#

then what are you suggesting even

austere grotto
#

since you wanted to rely on .performed etc

sullen pebble
#

hold on lemme remind myself what value even means again

austere grotto
sullen pebble
#

ok

#

changing it to value and using the started event does exactly what I wanted

#

no extra handling needed

# vale zodiac void OnShoot(InputValue value) { Debug.Log("shoot"); }

yeah so - you'll want to use update and a timer. Basically this:

[SerializeField]
float shotInterval = 0.2f;
bool shooting = false;

float timer = 0;

void Update() {
    if (shooting) {
        timer += Time.deltaTime;
        if (timer >= shotInterval) {
            timer -= shotInterval;
            Shoot();
        }
    }
}

void Shoot() {
  Debug.Log("Firing");
}

void OnShoot(InputValue value)
{
    shooting = value.isPressed;
}```
vale zodiac
austere grotto
#

it's like 8 lines of code

#

yes, if you want to shoot repeatedly, you need a timer

austere grotto
vale zodiac
austere grotto
#

Remember the input system is a system for processing input

#

not for driving your game logic

#

You could make this simpler if you used a different workflow

#

but you';re using PlayerInput with Send Messages mode

#

so you have to work within how that works

#

For example you could read the input directly in Update:

[SerializeField]
float shotInterval = 0.2f;
bool shooting = false;

float timer = 0;

void Update() {
    if (InputSystem.actions["Player/Shoot"].IsPressed()) {
        timer += Time.deltaTime;
        if (timer >= shotInterval) {
            timer -= shotInterval;
            Shoot();
        }
    }
}

void Shoot() {
  Debug.Log("Firing");
}```
#

but most of this logic is here for the consistent timer for shooting over and over again.

#

which you will need no matter what
