you don't need many input systems (unless the game is mp) so don't create a new one. sorry if I didn't understand the problem

#

if you speak Russian write your problem to me in pm

tulip stump Oct 8, 2020, 11:22 AM

#

I am probably explaining myself terribly here.
I am trying to optimize the game I am working on and while on some Android devices I get stable 60 fps, on others I get 30-40.
for 60 fps I have to stay below 16ms response time, I can't really do that when the new input system is taking up the majority of it (up to 15ms in Samsung S8 for example - this puts me on that device on 30ms response time, way above the 16ms mark).

#

I don't think I am using multiple input systems

gentle sand Oct 8, 2020, 11:24 AM

Can u show schemas?

Does anyone have any resource/tutorial/video for runtime rebinding with the input system? I've watched several videos and none seem to cover it.

perfect channel for my question. Is it possible to use rb.addforce using the new input system? im pretty sure it is possible, but i just confused on how to make it work

sick cradle Oct 9, 2020, 12:22 AM

@untold gust there is a sample for runtime rebinding

#

also 1.1 (preview) has option to save binds persistently

untold gust Oct 9, 2020, 12:23 AM

#

if it isn't too much to ask. do you have a link?
I tried searching it in the documentation but cant seem to find it

#

maybe I'm just blind UnityChanThink

sick cradle Oct 9, 2020, 12:24 AM

#

open package manager and select input system there

#

it should have additional examples

#

like, there should be buttons to deploy those samples to your project, one of them is for rebinding

untold gust Oct 9, 2020, 12:25 AM

#

Thanks! I'll check it right now

sick cradle Oct 9, 2020, 12:26 AM

#

alternatively if you are using this from github, the same sample is this: https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/InputSystem/tree/develop/Assets/Samples/RebindingUI

#

but you should be able to deploy that from package manager too

#

anyway, it's worth noting that the provided sample actually uses asset workflow (you create input bindings asset or whatever they call it and use that as is)

#

if you use the generate c# file thingy, you have to adjust the runtime rebind logic to that worklow

#

if you need runtime rebinding, it's easier to just forget about the generated c# thing

#

(but both do work, it's just tad more work)

untold gust Oct 9, 2020, 12:31 AM

#

thanks! this is still better than the old input system

#

so I guess it's worth the time to work on a rebind for this newer one

sick cradle Oct 9, 2020, 12:32 AM

#

right now the new input system is super buggy, so your mileage may vary

#

also probably depends at lot on what you need from it

#

but I have like half a dozen bugs I should file reports for on it, just haven't gotten to it yet

untold gust Oct 9, 2020, 12:34 AM

#

should I reconsider using it then?

actually going to try first and see how it goes

#

regarding the new input system, if i'd like to query dpad specifically within the Navigate action, how do I go about it?

Doing control.UI.Navigate.ReadValue<Vector2>(); reads out the left analogue stick and dpad data fine, but I cant find a way to differentiate the Dpad navigation and left stick navigation...

Any advice please?

leaden coyote Oct 9, 2020, 6:11 PM

#

I assume the new Input System doesn't have a method to change a gamepad's LED light color, right?

#

Like the ones you find on a PS4 controller for example to show player's health or something like that

lost flower Oct 9, 2020, 6:14 PM

#

I think you need to import a PS4Controller library for that

#

But I have absolutely no idea

sick cradle Oct 10, 2020, 7:19 AM

#

@lone tide I don't understand the question, why would you need to differentiate it?

#

I mean you could just map it to different action if you need it separate

lone tide Oct 10, 2020, 10:56 AM

#

@sick cradle I tried mapping it to a different action but it breaks navigation for both left stick and dpad. I no longer need to differentiate them to solve my problem anymore, but I still was curious if there's a way, because it might be useful to know for later.

A use case could be wanting to implement different button navigation behaviour for when you're using dpad vs when you're using left stick navigation.

lyric trench Oct 11, 2020, 9:46 PM

Hi can someone help me? I have a singleton script that handles all the input and i have a player movement script and a player jump script that take input from an instance of that. I keep getting a null reference error on line 28 of the jump script but nothing from the movement. But both the scripts work, lol. heres the jump script and the singleton script

#

#

also, as soon as i jump (like i said the script still works), the error stops updating in the console.

proud sorrel Oct 12, 2020, 2:29 AM

#

Looks to me like jump is null

#

In InputHandler, change cs if(button!=null){ jump = button; }
to ```cs
if(button!=null){
jump = button;
}else{
Debug.Log("Button was null!");
}

And see if you see that debug

lyric trench Oct 12, 2020, 3:00 AM

#

i tried that, i don’t see the debug, and i’m still getting the error. it says on line 28 of the playerJump script. and it’s just weird that it spams on screen when i start the game until i jump and then it stops doing that.

proud sorrel Oct 12, 2020, 3:08 AM

#

Yeah, that is weird. Before line 28, try adding some more Debug.Logs, like ```cs
if(InputHandler.Instance == null){Debug.Log("InputHandler null!");}
if(InputHandler.Instance.Jump == null){Debug.Log("InputHandler.Instance.Jump null!");}

lyric trench Oct 12, 2020, 3:25 AM

#

alright, that helped me determine that InputHandler.instance.jump is null, i just put “if(InputHandler.instance.jump==null)
return;” now i get no errors, and he jump still works.

#

thanks a lot!

proud sorrel Oct 12, 2020, 3:30 AM

#

Good that you got it working, but you're just putting a bandaid on the problem. Should fix what's causing it to be null in the first place imo, might run into issues later on

#

Not sure what ButtonControl is meant to do, but ignoring it being null means you may as well not have it, which probably isn't what you want if you bothered to add it in the first place

lyric trench Oct 12, 2020, 12:08 PM

#

button control is from the input system, it’s literally the only way i could find to get an actual “getkey “ vs “getkeydown”. using an action.performed /action.started never seems to work for what i’m using it for.

Using a 2D vector in the input editor requires four bindings
@pearl marsh i think ur using a composite. There's another option for that wont ask you for a separate Up Down Left and Right bindings

#

Unity's opening up, i'll send a screenshot once its up

#

An action to get a Vector2 value from Input...

📎 unknown.png

#

📎 unknown.png

#

Not 2d Vector Composite

#

📎 unknown.png

#

Bindings defines what value will be given to the event listening to the actions.
The type u need to go for is the basic binding which allows u to get a vector2 value.
The composite Binding allows u to set a key for up down left and right and then decides the final vector2 value based on that.
So if up is W key, then the composite binding result in a Vector2(0, 1).

#

if w is pressed that is.

Hello guys, I'm looking for a good guide/tutorial on the new InputSystem. I don't know why but documentation feels a bit lacking in content

sick cradle Oct 16, 2020, 8:55 AM

#

current docs contain a lot of scattered info, it's pretty bad for people trying to get into this :/

#

I know this because I've gone through that the hard way 😄

#

of course the less advanced features you need the easier

#

there are some tutorials out there, in youtube etc, I think the docs had some intro too

#

I haven't really seen any tutorial that truly explained what approaches you can take with this, rather seen dummy tutorials where they show one way to show the system where you get impression that's the only route

#

most tutorials seem to generate the c# bindings for example

#

and you totally don't need to do that

#

and for some functionality, it even works worse if you do so

I’m making a point and click adventure game that uses an on-screen cursor object to interact with objects. I have no idea how to get this working

spare frigate Oct 17, 2020, 5:07 PM

#

@wind matrix I'm not at home atm and sadly won't be for a few hours most likely - but you should just need to create a composite 2d to represent the mouse input, and Ofcourse set the binding to be the mouse position (or delta if you wanna handle damping the speed yourself for a more smoother feeling if your game is more UI heavy it could feel more stylistic, if it's a fast paced experience it doesn't really work as well mechanically) - then you can subscribe to the. .. I believe the "started" callback, and use that function to then handle processing the value, which you'll still have to cast to a vector2 since it returns a generic object type that represents your data

#

If your fine waiting a few hours and dm me so I don't forget, I could try to show you an example when i get home if my explanation didn't make much sense to you, it's ofc always easier to understand with visuals and examples than blocks of text, imo at least

carmine star Oct 17, 2020, 7:30 PM

question: after generating the script from the Input Map, I do normally instantiate it inside a script. What should I do if I need to access the input script on other classes? Should I make a singleton or can I instantiate it again?

Hello, does anyone happen to know why the new input system is prone to freeze/lag spikes whenever I use both left stick and D-Pad for my move action while ONLY using the left stick is 100% smooth? I am using Unity 2020.1.4 with the Input System package 1.0 (verified)

I'm trying to emulate a joystick using touch input. The idea is to capture where the player press on the screen and while pressing calculate a delta in relation to the initial press. Whats the best way to go about doing this? Defining custom InputBindingComposite, IInputInteraction, InputProcessor or something else?

#

The desired output in this case would be a Vector2 just like any other joystick input type.

I'm not getting the input system to see any devices at all. No mouse, keyboard, or gamepad. It literally just says "Devices (0)". Any idea why that'd be?

@worthy patrol if you are using assembly definitions make sure things are properly referenced

guys is the Brackeys new input manager tutoriel outdated ?

because in the inspector I can't find my Input Master to drag in it

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.InputSystem;

public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
    public InputMaster controls;

    void Awake()
    {
        controls.Player.Jump.performed += _ => jump();

This isn't likely a simple outdated bug because as a public member, it would definitely be visible in the inspector unless not serializable...

#

(Or) If there were errors, file wasn't saved, etc.

worthy patrol Oct 21, 2020, 7:49 AM

public float move;
public bool isWorking;

#

if I add other public variable they work

So maybe InputMaster isn't serialized?

#

Internet says you no longer require assigning the field in the inspector 🤔 https://forum.unity.com/threads/new-input-system-not-serialized.667153/

#

Quote:

I assume you're generating a wrapper for an .inputactions asset using the "Generate C# Wrapper" checkbox and use the generated type on the serialized field, right?

In the latest package, there was a change where the generated wrappers no longer require the asset to be dragged separately onto the field. Instead, the generated wrapper is self-contained and does not need to be serialized.

#

So yes, the video is a bit outdated where you would be required to drag the input manager into the visible member field in the inspector; you no longer need to.

#

But other than that, everything ought to still functioning.

I swear I cant figure out this new system... It's so much more complicated than the old one. I need to get my old movement code to work again since now we are forced to move over. My old code was only like 3 lines. I have no idea what it should be in the new system. I set up a forward and sideways axis but idk where to go from there.

        float z = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");

        Vector3 move = transform.right * x + transform.forward * z;```

#

I'm not even sure how to check if a button is being held down anymore

unreal moss Oct 22, 2020, 5:12 AM

#

the GetAxis just tells you if the key is getting pressed at the moment you call it

#

when I need to know if a button is being held I just use Input.IsKey()

Anyone know the best way to get all connected gamepads with he new Input System in webGL ? It works without a problem in the editor or in a Windows build. But the webGL build only recognizes gamepads that connect to the pc while the build is active...

My code btw:

foreach (Gamepad gamepad in Gamepad.all)
        {
            if (gamepad != null && gamepad.buttonSouth.wasPressedThisFrame && !IsGamepadUsed(gamepad))
            {

why is the new input system so god awful?

sick cradle Oct 24, 2020, 12:00 PM

#

IMO new input system has a lot of nice things going for it but about every second feature I try on it is broken or bugged and Unity made 1.0 verified package on it

#

it feels quite rushed to me when the stability is more like the package would be still in alpha

#

intro docs in particular are missing many crucial steps

#

which also makes it feel like they didn't have time to do proper docs

celest vessel Oct 24, 2020, 12:03 PM

#

I think the idea is great, and it definitely has many great features that makes it more useful than the old system. The problem is that it barely ever works for me. I constantly have problems, and often times noone has the same problems. I just had a problem that it doesn't like vJoy, so my gamecube controller driver completely messes things up

sick cradle Oct 24, 2020, 12:03 PM

#

HID support in particular is totally broken still

celest vessel Oct 24, 2020, 12:03 PM

#

It's just exhausting to use but the old one is even more of a pain lol

sick cradle Oct 24, 2020, 12:04 PM

#

Unity knows about it , they've said that old input system has better hid device support and they need to improve on it

celest vessel Oct 24, 2020, 12:04 PM

#

I'm kinda baffled that a gameengine hasn't nailed input, the thing that makes a game a game

sick cradle Oct 24, 2020, 12:04 PM

#

I've personally just bypassed new input systems whole HID setup and use my own directinput custom device in place

#

yeah, it should just work

#

but in the nutshell, they just released the new input system too early

celest vessel Oct 24, 2020, 12:05 PM

#

yeah definitely

#

are there any other input-packages? Like made by other people?

sick cradle Oct 24, 2020, 12:05 PM

#

rewired is probably best received 3rd party asset for it

#

it's paid but not ridiculously expensive

celest vessel Oct 24, 2020, 12:05 PM

#

hmm I might check it out

sick cradle Oct 24, 2020, 12:06 PM

#

there's also InControl and probably few assets that has active dev dropped and made free now

#

most free input assets for Unity are more like for wrapping specific api, like xinput etc

celest vessel Oct 24, 2020, 12:07 PM

#

makes sense

#

btw some of the older versions of the new input system worked better for me, but I can't get older versions through the package manager anymore? Does this mean I have to get it from github or smth?

sick cradle Oct 24, 2020, 12:08 PM

#

you could run into random issues if you mix old package/version with newer Unity as Unity ships the native code side of input system with the engine itself, there could be api changes in the way

#

it's kinda issue with anything that requires native component for the implementation - it's tied to unity engine binaries

#

from Unity's side that is

#

for 3rd party assets, they of course provide native stuff as separate native plugins

#

this is one thing I really dislike on Unity's distribution model, I can't just upgrade input system's native code implementation without upgrading the whole engine

celest vessel Oct 24, 2020, 12:14 PM

#

why does it have to be so hard 😭

#

I'm straight up not having fun rn

#

ok I'm forever going back to the old system fk this

distant salmon Oct 24, 2020, 12:49 PM

#

haven't tried the new input system

#

but it's probably pretty efficient when understood and used correctly

celest vessel Oct 24, 2020, 1:01 PM

#

I literally couldn't get it to work this time. With my other projects it barely works

#

maybe it's because I have vJoy installed

#

now I'm using the old system and I have a problem where only the x-axis on my left stick is analog, the y-axis and the two axes on the right stick are digital. My settings are the same for all of them except which axis they read

📎 unknown.png

#

does anyone know why this is happening?

#

here's my code and the result

#

ok I wrote P1xPoint twice, apparently the y axis on the second stick (Point) is also analog

hardy flicker Oct 24, 2020, 1:12 PM

#

has someone a good tutorial recomendation for the new input system... I am kinda lost with it and the docs also dont really help me

sick cradle Oct 24, 2020, 1:29 PM

#

but it's probably pretty efficient when understood and used correctly
@distant salmon there are two major issues right now: docs are lacking so getting going is going to slow (I've had to figure out everything the hard way) but the other any bigger issue is that it's just so buggy

#

correct usage doesn't really help when every second feature doesn't work properly

#

there are some use cases where I could imagine it could just work for people but it really boils down on what devices you need to support and what features you need from it

#

for some of the issues you can simply workaround them, making some hacks here and there and for some, I've actually had to change input system source code

#

I've so far spent like one whole month of full weeks of dev time on patching this system for my use cases and I'm seasoned developer. Sure I did implement custom device support for direct input and windows gaming input API's too in this timeframe but that first part was mandatory for me as built-in HID support is just too broken for the devices I absolutely need to support

#

anything but WGI support part is something that should just have worked out of the box but didn't. I've also used this "new" input system before so I wasn't even new to it, I've evaluated it countless times along it's development

twin sundial Oct 26, 2020, 12:27 AM

#

is there a way to get the new input system to update every frame instead of when an input updates?

#

I have a 3rd person character with a orbitable camera

#

and the character always moves based on the direciton of the camera

#

but when I start moving and then rotate the camera it doesn't update its direction in real time

#

it waits for me to release the input and then do it again

sick cradle Oct 26, 2020, 9:21 AM

#

@twin sundial that frankly sounds like you are using it wrong

#

We cant tell how since you didnt post any code snippet

twin sundial Oct 26, 2020, 3:45 PM

#

I don't think I'm using it wrong

#

I set up an input actions

#

I made a vector 2 for movement and mapped it to wasd

#

And I set up some methods for movement and plugged then into the Player Input component

north flicker Oct 27, 2020, 12:07 AM

#

honestly i really like the new input system, it's been rock solid stable for me thus far, moved all my code to it, and it's definitely because i kept up with it for a long time but I think the api is great

#

one of the few features unity's shipped in the past 3 years that wasn't

#

let's say

#

unusable at launch

limpid shadow Oct 27, 2020, 4:50 AM

#

How important is it to unregister input action callbacks when the game is closing with the new input system? Right now I am subscribing in OnEnable and unsubscribing in OnDisable, but I have found that sometimes PlayerInput will remove the player before my script's OnDisable is called.

spare frigate Oct 27, 2020, 9:26 AM

#

@limpid shadow im pretty sure that events stay on the stack after the game is closed, so its usually a good idea to make sure you unsubscribe to events/callbacks when done with them - you can move your unsubscribe code to OnApplicationQuit maybe, if its firing before youd like it to or during scene changes or something - with that said, make sure your OnEnable isnt being fired when you change scenes for example, because if you only unsubscribe when quitting the game, and subscribe += in OnEnable, that can create more usage on the stack that never actually gets used and create unwanted results most likely

Hello dear users, i+m trying to move a cube with finger touch (press and drag and the object follow). I´m not a expert (far from there xD) but with this code the object moves in opposite directions. if i want to move to left, right he moves to foward back, and so on.....
here is the code (Note. is for android mobile)

        if (Input.touchCount > 0)
        {
            touch = Input.GetTouch(0);
            if (touch.phase == TouchPhase.Moved)
            {
                transform.position = new Vector3(
                    transform.position.x + touch.deltaPosition.x * (speed/2),
                    transform.position.y,
                    transform.position.z + touch.deltaPosition.y * (speed/2));
            }

i'm a bit overwhelmed, i'd appreciate some general pointers. i've been using a singleton 'input manager' class and some events, and i'm moving over to inputsystem, can i only really use unity events if i do it this way? it looks like the messaging system requires that the inputmanager script is on the same gameobject as anything that needs to be affected by it. or it is standard practice to have multiple copies of the input manager script all over the place on anything that receives input?

#

or should the eventsystem set in the GameManager object perhaps?

Polling works as some players can be remote, I sent the inputs to the server and then distribute them to other clients

#

At the moment I use rewired

#

I’m making a new UI and lobby with input system, then I’ll convert the player input scripts to use it

#

I have a so firm rewired input manager currently, which is why I’m struggling a bit to plan the new layout

#

But I spent a while last night poking around, i think this approach may work

#

Trial and error ftw

soft basin Nov 1, 2020, 11:04 AM

#

I'll have to read some articles on using the input system with UI

mighty ivy Nov 1, 2020, 12:04 PM

#

its knowing whats expected i struggle with, i dont have the benefit of experience yet

#

for example, i use the shoulder buttons to move pages, but the UI input module doesn't have such things in the list

#

are we supposed to extend that? use that as the base to make our own? or compliment it with another class that handles just that so you have two scripts subscribed to the eventsystem on the same gameobject? (the last one is currently what i'm doing..seems to work)

Yeah, I figure it is not the most common way of using it

#

I would be happy to hear how it would be best to do it

#

But still... I cant figure out why it wont work in Playmode, but when I build it, it does...

#

Another weird thing is... When I set the controls using the "Listen" button, to detect which key was pressed... it doesnt detect them all

#

And when it detects one, it is the wrong one

#

Almost as if it had the wrong layout :/

Hi, there is bug on Linux with Mouse/Pointer Delta InputSystem and Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked. I tested this a lot and comes with this:

After each "performed" InputSystem sends "cancel" with vector (0,0) so Update (or other functions) can't read actual delta value before its resets to (0,0).
If there is a lot of events from mouse (eg. delta, scroll and click) InputSystem can sometimes send "cancel" for delta in next frame - so Delta works (badly) if we use scroll.

I wrote simple if event == "cancel" then return and set input vector to zero in Update (after i use it to rotate camera) and it works, but its not perfect solution.

Anyone had similar problem? Maybe there is already fix in InputSystem, but i check Google, also InputSystem github and i found only post on forum, where someone have same problem but no solution.

I tried InputSystem 1.0.0 and 1.1.0-preview.2
On Unity 2019.3.3f1 and 2020.1.0b16
On Ubuntu 18 and Arch

Please ping me if someone find solution ;)

sick cradle Nov 5, 2020, 2:49 PM

@surreal bone look into project settings->input system or something like that

#

there should be a place where you can define which input types you let the input system process there

#

if you still want to support other types too, you can just do selective input queries

#

there could be some HID devices that didn't map as joysticks though so not sure if you can filter everything this route

create a rotate action, assign a binding to it (for example, mouse delta), and each frame read the vector2 value from the action and rotate.
@west burrow that's a bit vague, explain "assign a binding" I want to use the mouse to move so what binding would I use?

I have done that

and the code works don't get me wrong

but for some reason but looks really fast

how do I make it so the coords of the mouse delta is both either -1 or 1

if i enable keyboard&mouse and gamepad as available inputs, and start my game into its UI, inputsystem creates User#0 and User#1, one for K&M and one for my gamepad. this kinda means the first player is forced to use the keyboard, does that seem right to you? feels like i'm missing something

thanks

astral panther Nov 6, 2020, 2:13 PM

#

Hey, seasoned devs

#

people who have gone through the process all the way to shipping

#

I know the answer depends a lot on the game BUT: is it misguided to use the basic character controller to handle movement, using this simple scheme:
For movement

direction = new Vector3(inputMovement.x, 0f, inputMovement.y).normalized;
controller.Move(direction * speed * Time.deltaTime);

For rotation

targetAngle = Mathf.Atan2(direction.x, direction.z) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;
angle = Mathf.SmoothDampAngle(transform.eulerAngles.y, targetAngle, ref turnSmoothVelocity, turnSmoothTime);
transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0f, angle, 0f);

All of it on the Update() method, except for input capture which is being handled with Player Input + send message

The game I'm making has no physics for the player character and it's meant to control like classic playstation Metal Gear Solid

#

Reason I ask is that from my previous experience in 2d development on GameMaker I learned the hard way that my naive input solutions were insufficient and required a complete do over, which was quite a pain to fix once the project had reached a certain scale.

#

I'm going with a totally naive solution on Unity, and I know there can be room for lots of little assists to improve input feel. But if the idea behind the current set up is sufficient, I assume adding that extra layer of polish won't mean redoing the whole thing.

#

so yeah, with all of that in mind, am I going down the wrong path here? Is there a preferred input solution that takes other important things into account?

mighty ivy Nov 6, 2020, 4:37 PM

#

@terse shuttle should there be one for the UI? what's the standard practise, it seems the UI Input module thats unhappy, i have a couple of custom UI elemets that are controller by a playerinput and they seem okay with the gamepad

primal moss Nov 6, 2020, 5:02 PM

#

how would I have it so that a controller only controls one player instead of both, I'm using the new input system.

#

and how would I make a script discover a controller?

#

and then say link it to a specific player

terse shuttle Nov 6, 2020, 6:18 PM

#

@mighty ivy hmm. you should have an action map for UI then switch between the actual controller map and ui map using PlayerInput.switchcureentActionMap() or something. Cant remember the actual function name

mighty ivy Nov 6, 2020, 6:21 PM

#

i thinks its just a case of knowing whats needed where. from what i can tell, no playerinput script is needed at all for navigate events

terse shuttle Nov 6, 2020, 7:00 PM

#

having the map gives you complete control imo

#

I like it that way

mighty ivy Nov 6, 2020, 7:42 PM

#

so, is it intended that you'd have a playerinput on each part of the hierachy that needs to act upon events? i can see you could put one at the top of the hierachy and use broadcastmessage, but when reading online i see that using messages like that is discouraged.

mighty ivy Nov 6, 2020, 8:00 PM

#

i suppose all i really want, is to have the UI use a few more extra events, as well as Navigate i also would like NextPage, PrevPage for example, but the UI input module only has fixed functions

#

which means i need some other way to receive the Nextpage and Prevpage events from the action map, which at the moment seems to be to add a playerinput to the UI gameobject that needs to receive it

primal moss Nov 6, 2020, 9:24 PM

@primal moss This happened to me the other day. I hadn't populated my prefab with the same events as my in-scene object.

Dear community, I'm trying to understand new input system from Unity. But can't manage to poll Left Stick value to my mono script. I have game object with Player Input component. I created Actions asset file. By default it has Action map Player and Action Move, which is associated with Left Stick and WASD (+few others). I'm trying to read that input in C# with this code void Update() { //Read current move input currentMoveInput = move.ReadValue<Vector2>(); Debug.Log(currentMoveInput); } move is declared and enabled: public InputAction move; What I'm missing, is I'm not sure if I need to associate anything in inspector?

you are not suppose to read value in update

create a function public void MovementPoll(InputAction.CallbackContext ctx)

then in the inspector drag your obj into 'Move' then select the created function

dont have to call the function anywhere

#

I guess I won't be pooling buttons, but do it otherwise?

so you should do this to every context function

    //do your stuff here
  }

yea

fair wing Nov 9, 2020, 5:39 PM

I saw there are like 3 states for each action

#

that is indeed good to know, would take me probably another few hours trying to figure out myself 😉

terse shuttle Nov 9, 2020, 5:39 PM

yeah I figured it the hard way

thats kinda amazing

They might deprecate the old system sooner or later

#

the new one is way more malleable

fair wing Nov 9, 2020, 5:44 PM

#

yeah, now when I see that, it seems quite simple, but just going through documentation can make you head spin (mine at least did 😂 )

terse shuttle Nov 9, 2020, 5:45 PM

I dont like the documentation. I feel like they should have more explanations on some methods and properties

@eternal bramble actually the first 5 seconds work fine, but there's a 5-10 second interval a few seconds into the game starting where no input is recorded. I found a thread of something that sounds the most like my issue https://forum.unity.com/threads/input-system-freezes-and-stops-registering-input.882754/

Unity Forum

Input System Freezes and Stops Registering Input

Hi,

I'm having a problem with the new input system. In my game, the input gets read every update through InputAction.ReadValue, and everything works...

tame oracle Nov 9, 2020, 7:07 PM

#

is it a good idea to have a camera script that forwards EventHandler events? e.g. is it good for drag & drop with mobile touch or mouse, or it gives horrible performance?

glossy skiff Nov 10, 2020, 12:55 AM

#

Hi, I wonder if gamepad-input is already built into i.e. the FPS Controller from Standard Assets or needs some special setup? if yes, is everything needed in the standard assets package?

orchid tide Nov 10, 2020, 4:40 AM

#

im really confused how the new input detects controller ids and how to manually control them

sick cradle Nov 10, 2020, 6:35 AM

#

@orchid tide can you be more specific on what you want to do?

#

new input system uses multiple input API's so how it detects the controller depends on the interface Unity uses for that specific controller on that platform

orchid tide Nov 10, 2020, 11:38 AM

#

Specifically what im trying to do is have 2 player objects already on the scene and i want p1 to be controlled by controller 1 and p2 be controlled by controller 2 @sick cradle for pc game currently

Hi all. Here are the packages I have in my project.

📎 unknown.png

#

when I install the input package, I get the following errors after setting input to both and restarting unity:

📎 Unity_rCMiWeoaIE.png

#

and whenever I mouse over the input system package menu in project settings, I get console errors as follows:

📎 QyvtDS5w9k.webm

#

Not been able to use this system since before it went verified over a whole load of unity versions and DOTS package versions, so I'm not sure whether it's a package conflict, or something else. Any pointers?

wooden stump Nov 10, 2020, 1:45 PM

#

In a completely empty project after installing the Input System package, I do get content in the Project Settings -> Input System Package menu (as opposed to the above), but I still get this console error. I'm using a Razer Deathadder, I can't believe that wouldn't be supported...

terse shuttle Nov 10, 2020, 5:17 PM

@tawdry wasp define your forward. X Y or Z axis?

#

@tame oracle you create a custom function

tawdry wasp Nov 10, 2020, 5:18 PM

#

this is my whole code freoze

#

    void Update()
    {
        float horizontal = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");

tame oracle Nov 10, 2020, 5:18 PM

Okay @terse shuttle like in my code?

tawdry wasp Nov 10, 2020, 5:18 PM

#

wait...

terse shuttle Nov 10, 2020, 5:18 PM

#

@tawdry wasp you see the problem?

tawdry wasp Nov 10, 2020, 5:18 PM

#

do I just need to turn my camera and character around?

terse shuttle Nov 10, 2020, 5:19 PM

#

this line Vector3 direction = new Vector3(horizontal, 0f, vertical);

#

Vector3(x, y, z)

#

you put horizontal as x

tawdry wasp Nov 10, 2020, 5:20 PM

#

omg

#

im a potato

terse shuttle Nov 10, 2020, 5:20 PM

#

so AD will move left and right

#

@tame oracle yes in your code

tawdry wasp Nov 10, 2020, 5:20 PM

#

no wait that's right isn't it?

#

o-o

#

if I press A atm it moves left, thats what I want

#

if I press W it moves back

terse shuttle Nov 10, 2020, 5:21 PM

#

back or forward?

#

this depends on your camera axis

#

if your cam is looking at z+ then w will move z- I think

#

no it will move z+

#

yeah

#

if I remember it correctly

tawdry wasp Nov 10, 2020, 5:24 PM

#

the weird bit as well, rotation works opposite to movement

terse shuttle Nov 10, 2020, 5:24 PM

#

you could just make it negative

#

so it would reverse the action

tawdry wasp Nov 10, 2020, 5:28 PM

#

yeah I did know I could do that but i thought maybe it meant there was something bigger wrong i didn't know

terse shuttle Nov 10, 2020, 5:28 PM

nah you good

#

@tame oracle what input system are you using

tame oracle Nov 10, 2020, 5:31 PM

What

Like I am using stuff like Horizontal and Vertical

Is that what you mean?

that's the old one

#

yeah

tame oracle Nov 10, 2020, 5:32 PM

#

Okay

terse shuttle Nov 10, 2020, 5:34 PM

        if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump") && isPlayerGrounded)
        {
            direction.y = Mathf.Sqrt(jumpHeight * -2f * gravity);

humble onyx Nov 11, 2020, 10:29 AM

#

Wrong channel? What are you doing with direction?

tawdry wasp Nov 11, 2020, 10:29 AM

oh oops is it? I thought it was the right one because of Input.GetButtonDown mb inari

humble onyx Nov 11, 2020, 10:30 AM

#

I mean, your issue seems more related to pyhiscs/2d or so xD

tawdry wasp Nov 11, 2020, 10:30 AM

#

its for a 3D game, but you might be right ^^

humble onyx Nov 11, 2020, 10:31 AM

#

@tawdry wasp Did you put a Debug.Log in there to check if isPlayerGrounded is true? And one in the if

tawdry wasp Nov 11, 2020, 10:31 AM

#

I did, the isPlayerGrounded works

#

I have no idea with mobile games to help ilya

#

so I can't help you work out the speed of the phone

#

https://hatebin.com/qrunddopih this is the full script inari

#

everything except jump is working fine

humble onyx Nov 11, 2020, 10:33 AM

#

And theres a jump button in your Input settings?

tawdry wasp Nov 11, 2020, 10:33 AM

#

there is which is space

humble onyx Nov 11, 2020, 10:35 AM

#

And the Debug.Log in side the if doesn't trigger despite isPlayerGrounded being true?

tawdry wasp Nov 11, 2020, 10:35 AM

#

    if (isPlayerGrounded && direction.y < Mathf.Epsilon)
        {
            direction.y = -2f;
            print(isPlayerGrounded);```

#

this one triggers correctly

#

for when im on the ground and when im falling

humble onyx Nov 11, 2020, 10:38 AM

#

You

#

Never use direction.y?

#

You're getting the angle (left/right) using x/z, then move it that way

#

You can

#

You just can't if it's a property

#

i.e. transform.position.y

tawdry wasp Nov 11, 2020, 10:41 AM

#

wdym I never use it? if I set it the Y to +5 as an example should get set right? o-O

humble onyx Nov 11, 2020, 10:41 AM

#

You do

#

But you never use direction.y to move the controller

#

So it does'nt matter if it's 5 or 500 or 0

tawdry wasp Nov 11, 2020, 10:42 AM

#

thats weird because csharp if (isPlayerGrounded && direction.y < Mathf.Epsilon) { direction.y = -2f; print(isPlayerGrounded); } makes my character fall as if theres gravity

#

so i thought a similar would work for go up

humble onyx Nov 11, 2020, 10:44 AM

#

🤔

#

Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't see how

tawdry wasp Nov 11, 2020, 10:44 AM

#

        if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump") && isPlayerGrounded)
        {
            direction.y = Mathf.Sqrt(jumpHeight * -2f * gravity);
            controller.Move(direction);
        }``` I just tried this also and it doesnt change anything

humble onyx Nov 11, 2020, 10:45 AM

#

Try * 2f there?

#

instead of -2f

tawdry wasp Nov 11, 2020, 10:46 AM

#

okay one sec

humble onyx Nov 11, 2020, 10:47 AM

#

That might be your issue 😛 Though I still don't see how direction.y would even be used without that controller.Move

#

@tawdry wasp Whats your camera y eulerangle?

tawdry wasp Nov 11, 2020, 10:48 AM

#

So that seems to kind of work

#

if I do controller.Move(direction) it jumps but it teleport jumps

#

so i tried normalising it and multiplying by time.deltatime, need to try not normalising but time.deltatiming it

humble onyx Nov 11, 2020, 10:50 AM

#

I think your camera migth just be pointing down, thats why it affects the y axis to seem like theres gravity

tawdry wasp Nov 11, 2020, 10:50 AM

#

no it really does work for gravity ^^ ill demonstrate a quick gif and for the jump

#

if I remove the gravity it just stays standing in the air

humble onyx Nov 11, 2020, 11:07 AM

#

Odd

#

you're literally never using it anywhere though 🤔

tawdry wasp Nov 11, 2020, 11:09 AM

#

I am calling this in update, so it constantly sets the y direction to -2f

#

i think thats how that works

humble onyx Nov 11, 2020, 11:09 AM

#

Yeah, but direction is just a vector you created

#

And then you don't use .y of it anywhere

#

Going to try this out now 😂

tawdry wasp Nov 11, 2020, 11:11 AM

#

wdym I dont use the .y? o-O

#

I do use it

#

o-o

humble onyx Nov 11, 2020, 11:12 AM

#

Where?

tawdry wasp Nov 11, 2020, 11:12 AM

#

to check if its grounded then I do direction.y = -2f;

humble onyx Nov 11, 2020, 11:12 AM

#

Sure

tawdry wasp Nov 11, 2020, 11:12 AM

#

you gonna try it xD

humble onyx Nov 11, 2020, 11:13 AM

#

But you don't use direction.y in your movement calculation

tawdry wasp Nov 11, 2020, 11:13 AM

#

I do!

#

this is my actual move

#

controller.Move(moveDir.normalized * speed * Time.deltaTime);

#

moveDir is Vector3 moveDir = Quaternion.Euler(0f, targetAngle, 0f) * Vector3.forward;

#

and then target angle is float targetAngle = Mathf.Atan2(direction.x, direction.z) * Mathf.Rad2Deg + cam.eulerAngles.y;

#

thats where I use it

humble onyx Nov 11, 2020, 11:14 AM

#

Yes

#

So wheres direction.y in there? :p

theres cam.eulerAngles.y, but thats not direction.y

tawdry wasp Nov 11, 2020, 11:17 AM

#

yeah thats true...

humble onyx Nov 11, 2020, 11:17 AM

#

So I'm not sure what you're doing

tawdry wasp Nov 11, 2020, 11:19 AM

#

see I did understand it

#

but now you've made me confused..

#

xD

#

I do use transform.eulerAngles.y at a point

humble onyx Nov 11, 2020, 11:20 AM

#

Sure, but eulerAngles.y is the rotation around the y axis, so if you were to view from top that would be left/right

tawdry wasp Nov 11, 2020, 11:25 AM

#

im actually so confused

humble onyx Nov 11, 2020, 11:27 AM

#

so if you comment out direction.y = -2f; you don't fall?

tawdry wasp Nov 11, 2020, 11:29 AM

#

o what

#

I do now but i wasnt earlier

#

Do you have any idea how to smooth out my jump inari? seems to be that it teleports me up rather than jumps

#

        if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump") && isPlayerGrounded)
        {
            direction.y = Mathf.Sqrt(jumpHeight * 50f * gravity);
            controller.Move(direction.normalized);
        }

Becasue .Move just moves it by that amount

humble onyx Nov 11, 2020, 11:36 AM

For example. Or have some velocity variable that you set and then slowly decrease if it's over 0, applying it each update

tawdry wasp Nov 11, 2020, 11:41 AM

hmm not sure how i'd do that one, it's just supposed to be one press of space to jump

glacial thicket Nov 15, 2020, 9:04 PM

#

not sure what you mean

#

what I'm saying is that the input system's version of the UI event system straight up doesn't send any event to the UI if my cursor is locked

#

like I looked in the code, it's seemingly working how it's supposed to

tame oracle Nov 15, 2020, 9:10 PM

#

So for example there's a button you can press on the canvas, but it's not sending the event?

glacial thicket Nov 15, 2020, 9:12 PM

#

yes

#

unless the cursor is unlocked

#

but since it's a fps I'd like for the cursor to stay locked

tame oracle Nov 15, 2020, 9:15 PM

#

Have you seen any of this? https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/CursorLockMode.Confined.html

glacial thicket Nov 15, 2020, 9:16 PM

#

I mean, it's still gonna move around the screen

#

I need it to stay in the center and be hidden

#

Else it looks like this

📎 Mh3g62L13D.mp4

#

I'd like for the player to aim the crosshair at the button to press it

tame oracle Nov 15, 2020, 9:20 PM

#

That part makes sense, my guess is there's some missing piece to get the UI to detect in-game player interaction

glacial thicket Nov 15, 2020, 9:20 PM

#

the problem is the Input System UI Input module checking if the cursor is locked or not before sending events

#

like I said earlier

#

and there's no way to tell it to ignore the cursor lock mode without directly modifying the script

#

talking about that thing btw

#

idk if there's any way to make feature suggestions for future update to the package but that'd be a nice feature to have

Is it not possible to update a variable from inside an action?

Like this:

public void OnPressedSpacebar(Bla bla ctx)
{
if (ctx.started) {
pressedSpaceBarCount += 1; }
}

tribal knoll Nov 16, 2020, 12:02 PM

#

Wouldnt it just be easier to create bindings.

#

action.performed += _ => { pressedSpaceBarCount += 1 };

loud pawn Nov 16, 2020, 12:17 PM

#

I'm asking because the scenario I posted doesn't work. The variable never updates outside the action. Just curious what I'm missing.

#

I'll try bindings, though. Thanks.

Hi everyone! I'm using the new input system and I have been trying to use OnPointerEnter() and OnPointerExit() events on a transparent image with a graphics raycaster. My goal is to detect if my the cursor has entered or exited a windowed version of my game. But I just can't get it to work, since such a transparent image is also consuming the events and thereby blocking the underlying UI. If i use 2 canvases with 2 graphic raycasters i get entered and exited events after hovering over any UI elements, but i only want the events after entering and exiting the window. Am I doing something wrong and overlooking some obvious other way to achieve this? 🧐

vestal latch Nov 17, 2020, 3:52 PM

#

📎 unknown.png

#

@tough estuary is that turned on?

#

Would it maybe be possible to play with these values, for example detect in the Update if the mouse is inside your rect and then disable the raycaster or event system

📎 unknown.png

tough estuary Nov 17, 2020, 4:22 PM

#

Hi, thank a lot for the answer. I tried out to cull the transparent mesh and it doesn't help. When the transparent image is on the same canvas as the other UI elements, i can't interact with any UI elements no matter what. If i have the transparent image on a second canvas with a higher priority (Sort Order) the behavior is the same. If the UI has higher Priority than a second canvas with the transparent Image in it then i get enter/exit events also after hovering over UI elements but i can interact with the UI elements. I tried "Blocking Masks" too, but i couldn't get it to work no matter what i tried. The only solution now appears to store if the cursor is outside/inside the window on each enter/exit by calculating if the mouse position is inside the screen rectangle or not and then checking if the cursor is coming from outside the window by checking that variable. But that just seems a bit hacky 🤷‍♂️

ashen pendant Nov 18, 2020, 11:31 PM

I think so.... but the issue is one of support. At this point even some of Unity's own packages do not fully support it and/or at times break what support used to exist if you are tracking 2020.2b at least.

recently i ran into issues with new input system and ui-ux stuff.

Hi guys, first time trying to use the new input system and first time trying to do something with Android. I was programming a basic touch input system to move a cube in my scene. It was working pretty well using the mouse in the simulator window until I build and get into account that it is not going pretty well in the Android device. I was doing some debugging and it is only getting into the TouchPhase.Began and not TouchPhase.Ended or even TouchPhase.Moved. If I active the option "Simulate touch Input from mouse or pen" it behaves as bad as in the build. Gif: https://i.imgur.com/7e8eDuz.gif

Do you know why touchState.phase only gets TouchPhase.Began? This is the code: https://hastebin.com/sawuwefoyi.csharp

There is/may be a bug with using prefabs, making events fire twice. Are you using a prefab?
