@astral panther

if you only do that for initial playtesting / prototyping, it would be fine

I'm having problems with local multiplayer. On my player gameobject, I have a player movement script, and a Player Input component. The player movement and stuff works perfectly, but the problem is the Player Input Manager. I have that component on a empty game object, and insted of having two seperate characters moving independently of eachother, when i have two players in the game, either control controls both characters

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

public class Player : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] private float speed = 12f;
    public GameObject hitEffect;
    public GameObject jumpEffect;
    public GameObject dashEffect;
    public Rigidbody2D rb;
    private DungeonCrawler inputActions;

    void Awake()
    {
        inputActions = new DungeonCrawler();
        rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
    }

    private void OnEnable()
    {
        inputActions.Enable();
    }

    private void OnDisable()
    {
        inputActions.Disable();
    }
    
    void FixedUpdate()
    {
        Vector2 moveInput = inputActions.Player.Move.ReadValue<Vector2>();
        rb.velocity = moveInput * speed;
    }
}

this is my player movement script

DungeonCrawler is the input action

example of all characters moving at the same time

the input manager component

Head being the character prefab

player prefab

player is the script above

This is the input action thing

the only ones that matter are Left stick and WASD under move

[copper night]

Hey guys, I'm getting into the input system for the first time, trying to figure out how to do stuff with it while used to the old input manager. I have been watching a few tutorials and reading doc, but i can't figure out what are the advantages of it. It just seems to make everything more complicated than anything? I mean for ex, i used to do stuff like " while this key is pressed, do this " , but i don't even figure out how to do something like that? Does anyone have a few tips about the way it is intended to be used?

[glass yacht]

You're constructing actions, don't directly think about the keys you're going to press. This allows you to have multiple things assigned to an action without having to add that to your code in an annoying manual fashion.

Here I have different action maps for separate control schemes I might want under different circumstances

and they contain actions, which is the data I want

and then there's the controls within that

I could easily add another control to an action without having to update my code

if I wanted to support a different controller or something

If you then tick the Generate C# Class option on the asset once you have it set up

you can implement the interfaces present in that class and easily get data from your actions

you just have to new that class, and call Enable and SetCallbacks for the controls you want to use

Though there are various ways of doing that part, it's pretty straight forward and flexible once you're familiar with one of them

[hazy jetty]

did Unity remove CallbackContext?

im trying to do the new input system

following a tutorial

nm im a idiot, forgot to call static

[hazy jetty]

having a issue

where i can move left and right but not up and down...

this looks fine, so what gives

[loud pawn]

Post your code.

[errant phoenix]

Hello guys 👋 I'm having some issues with the input devices with the new input system. For some reason it doesn't recognize my keyboards or mice. I've tried multiple keyboards, different USB ports + Bluetooth keyboard, I've restarted, updated drivers, removed any keyboard management software that i use for gaming, uninstalled and reinstalled the package ... etc, etc. I've ran out of ideas now. Has anyone had a similar issue or have any ideas what might be causing this ? I'm getting desperate here 😞

[copper night]

@glass yacht Thx. Sorry to answer only now but i fell asleep.

[somber horizon]

don't suppose anyone knows if the UI Input Module can be configured to select things on click down rather than up? (thread: https://forum.unity.com/threads/input-in-vr-using-input-system-ui-input-module-and-selecting-on-press-down.1009729/)

[loud pawn]

Have you enabled the new input system in the settings? It might be set to use the old, in which case devices won't show up.

[errant phoenix]

Aha I don't remember doing that so that is probably it. Just did a quick google and I assume you're referring to this ?

worked like a charm, I feel so stupid. Thanks a bunch !

I dont think I was ever prompted with the warning window also servers me right for following a random YT tutorial rather than the official docs

[loud pawn]

I found out the hard way as well, after hours of troubleshooting. Felt pretty foolish. 😅

[distant raptor]

nothing wrong with youtube videos... just take information with a grain of salt.. always cross check against docs / references

[grim plaza]

i made a main menu with buttons, but when i click the buttons, it won't make the button work. I am using the new input system

[split thorn]

Hello, I have input.GetKeys currently working for a little webgl game, and have added UI.Buttons for display when running on a tablet. The old input system appears to choke when holding down the onscreen button and after releasing it still continues to fire. Would switching to the new Input System fix this - do you think? What's the best way to handle Input.GetKey in the latest Player Input System in 2020.1.13

[chrome walrus]

Just be assured that you use a preview version of a Unity package, there can be bugs all over the place. We might need to see your code, maybe its not the input system in webgl

Anyone knows how to check if an action gives back a vector2 or not? Like I have binding to touch and left mouse button, while touch gives you the vector2 position, left mosue button does not. Or should I just separate the script into editor and device?

[chrome walrus]

Anyone in here can light me up on the InputSystem with touch? 😄 Just not working as intended, just wondering if I can get the position out of the button information or have to like pass two parameters withanother Action just for the position.

[chrome walrus]

Just fixed it myself 😄

[dire spade]

is there a way to trigger a callback while a button is pressed and not just once?

i tried moving my function to Update() and check if the button is pressed with ReadValueAsButton(), it works like intended and returns True but when it's not pressed it throws an error Control index is out of range instead of False

[distant flint]

hello to everybody i'm having a really strange problem, I'm working on a webgl 3d game with the new input system, For the mobile version, the first scene with the on screen joystick works perfectly, but the second and the third that have exactly the same script and gameobject in the scene didn't work at all.

http://unrealgame.altervista.org/

Can somebody help me?

[solemn badge]

@brittle prawn @tawny geode seems our unity version's a bit old, its 2018.4.14f1 i think, what would be another way to handle inputs that are nested too such as Ctrl + C?

[brittle prawn]

Sadly, a nested if/switch

[solemn badge]

would a dictionary be possible for nesteds or nah?

[tawny geode]

Does KeyCode have the Flags attribute 🤔

If so you could just store bitmasks of your key combinations

[tawny geode]

Ah it doesn't

Oh right, wouldn't make sense due to them not being properly aligned

[brittle prawn]

@solemn badge You can put dictionaries in dictionaries

[tawny geode]

halt

[brittle prawn]

but I'd honestly store different dictionaries for contextual controls

[solemn badge]

Are there any examples of this btw? like for switch or dictionary used in this instance?

[solemn badge]

cuz i havent seen instances of these being used yet so its new to me

[brittle prawn]

Create two dictionaries, one for regular keys, and one for keys with ctrl

then in update if ctrl is down reference the ctrl dictionary instead of the regular one

[chrome walrus]

Is this using the new input system?

[solemn badge]

no

[chrome walrus]

Ah okay

then I am out 😄

[minor eagle]

Wats d diference between d old input system and d new one and also how to tell d diffrence?

[somber horizon]

@minor eagle the differences are pretty major. The new one requires you to install a package via the package manager, so it's pretty hard to not notice if you're using it.

If it looks like Input.GetKey or Input.GetButton or Input.GetAxis it's the old one

[minor eagle]

so which is better the new one right? i thot mine was new but its not guess

[somber horizon]

@minor eagle the new one handles different devices (like gamepads) and mappings significantly better. There are alternatives like rewired, but I don't use it

[minor eagle]

okay

[chrome walrus]

Yeah, its easier to just click together the behaviour and then call the code without fiddeling around with input.getkey stuff messing up your code at first hand

[chrome walrus]

Anyone here knows how to get the old pointerId out of the context from the new Inputsystem?

[astral panther]

Man this new input system has been a struggle

I can't find any official unity tutorial that explains things to me a clear way. I felt the official manual was all over the place in that "How do I..." section

I'm having a hard time turning that into something useful

then I check the top 3 video tutorials on youtube and each one implements things in a completely different way

AND in the official Unity video they show you how to do things in a fourth way

and then go ahead and say "but don't do things like this, it's not performant at all"

so that leaves me in a position where I don't really know how and why I should be implementing this new input system

is there a guide that's more in-depth but also beginner friendly

because this new input system has way too many methods to implement input

[rare ice]

I have been working on my very first game in the unity engine and I need some help. It is a 3D game. So basically, in my game you control a piece on a board by playing cards, e.g. you play a +1 card and the piece moves 1 tile ahead. I have completed the board but I do not understand how to implement the UI correctly. So I guess I'd need 2 canvasses: 1 for the card in my hand and a target area where to put them?

[earnest kindle]

can someone help me with the old input system

[digital narwhal]

Performance Question: When using PlayerInput component. Is it more optimal to use Unity Events as Behavior instead of sending or broadcasting Messages?

[errant phoenix]

@digital narwhal I depends mostly on your use case. Are there going to be multiple different things that need to consume the input or is the input going to be handled in 1 place ? For the former broadcasting makes more sense as different entities will be able to consume that input in a decoupled manner. Linking up directly to a unity event is better if you have 1 entity that consumes the input or if you want to build a custom manager that will orchestrate the behaviour of multiple entities that need to know about each other.

[digital narwhal]

So sending messages and broadcasting isn't a big hit on performance? I shouldn't be scared to use that approach even if more and more scripts start intercepting it's messages?

[errant phoenix]

I wouldn't say there would be any performance penalty. Unless you're working on a massive scale, at which point there would be a lot more pressing performance concerns.

[copper night]

Guys, im trying to do something like if (bool "right mouse button is being held"){}

How can i do that based on the hold interaction?

i mean if i just readvalue, it seems like it does not account for the hold interaction

[chrome walrus]

I think it will pick up if you started, cancelled or performed. So it is starte, it should fire until it is cancelled or performed?

[sick cradle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xF2zUOfPyg8

[slate owl]

So I have an input set up that subscribes methods to the input like so:
GameManager.PlayerOneInput.StartMenu.StartGame.performed += temp_input => SwitchScene();
But how would I unsubscribe it? I can't seem to simply use "-=".

[solar plover]

If you will not have to unsubscribe to an event later, you can use the addition assignment operator (+=) to attach an anonymous method [...]
That's an anonymous function: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/programming-guide/statements-expressions-operators/anonymous-functions

[slate owl]

Sure the second half of that line is, but I'm only using an anonymous function because I'm not sure how to activate SwitchScene() from runtime input otherwise

And the first half of that line is subscribes a delegate or something right?

Sorry I'm pretty new to the lambda operator and delegates confuse me

[solar plover]

If you will not have to unsubscribe to an event later
Lambda will not be allowed to be unsubscribed.

[slate owl]

Ah

Say I wanted to do this without lambda, would you know how

[solar plover]

Perhaps assign the lambda result to an action and use the action to unsubscribe when needed..

[slate owl]

Ah, cool, thanks

[chrome walrus]

Why cant you use -= ? Is it giving an error?

[slate owl]

Yeah it gives an error

[chrome walrus]

What does it say?

[slate owl]

Actually scratch that, it just doesn't do anything

No error

But I think Dalphat is right

I'm just wondering if this means I have to create an action for every single input

[chrome walrus]

Do you even need temp_input there?

[slate owl]

Yeah, it gives me an error if I get rid of it

I can't just subscribe it to a method without an anonymous method

[chrome walrus]

Whats the error, just curious

[slate owl]

Error CS0029 Cannot implicitly convert type 'void' to 'System.Action<UnityEngine.InputSystem.InputAction.CallbackContext>'

[chrome walrus]

Ahh got it, grt rid of ()

[slate owl]

Tried that too :/

Error CS0201 Only assignment, call, increment, decrement, await, and new object expressions can be used as a statement

[chrome walrus]

Sec, let me have a look

[slate owl]

I appreciate the help

[chrome walrus]

It works

AppManager.inputSystem.Interaction.Tap.performed += TapToAdd;

private void TapToAdd(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
{

[slate owl]

Ah I probably need to have CallbackContext has a parameter

[chrome walrus]

Yap

[slate owl]

Much appreciated

[chrome walrus]

Yw 🙂

[main moon]

I want to create a custom mouse to use with a gamepad
does someone know how to do that?

[chrome walrus]

You can use UI and standard input to move the recttransform

[main moon]

how

i am using the new input system btw

[chrome walrus]

Pass your gamepad vector2 of your axis and then just as a normaö transform move position of your cursor, maybe check within screen bounds

[main moon]

but the mouse pos will override

i supose

i already tried before and i remember having that issue

the new input system has the warp position

[chrome walrus]

Who is going to use both?

[main moon]

ok that is working

but there isnt an option to simulate the button click

[chrome walrus]

Gamepad button?

Oh on the ui

[main moon]

yes

in game i just raycast

[chrome walrus]

You can still raycast against

From your cursor pos against the ui

[main moon]

and it works with buttons and sliders, etc?

i know that with eventrigger object doesnt work

[chrome walrus]

Well you gotta hack it somehow, thats true.

[main moon]

yah : /

ok thx for the help. I will try to see if there is some execute or something

so when i press a button or event trigger, the game executes the function

[chrome walrus]

But why do you want that ?

Is it necessary for hhe game?

@main moon

[main moon]

yes

i kinda need to aim

like click 2 different objects

[chrome walrus]

Oh ok, phew

             MouseOperations.MouseEvent(MouseOperations.MouseEventFlags.LeftUp | MouseOperations.MouseEventFlags.LeftDown); ```

@main moon old input but mouseevent could point you in the right direction

[main moon]

its just that simple?

[main moon]

i cant find that in the new input system

[halcyon hound]

Is there any way to access additional mouse buttons in the editor?Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Mouse3) works but (e.type == EventType.MouseDown && e.button == 3) does not 😕

[main moon]

@chrome walrus i found a solution

public class GraphicRaycasterRaycasterExample : MonoBehaviour
{
    GraphicRaycaster m_Raycaster;
    PointerEventData m_PointerEventData;
    EventSystem m_EventSystem;

    private InputMaster controls;
    void Start()
    {
        controls = new InputMaster();
        controls.Player.Click.Enable();
        //Fetch the Raycaster from the GameObject (the Canvas)
        m_Raycaster = GetComponent<GraphicRaycaster>();
        //Fetch the Event System from the Scene
        m_EventSystem = GetComponent<EventSystem>();
    }

    
    void Update()
    {
        //Check if the left Mouse button is clicked
        if (controls.Player.Click.triggered)
        {
            //Set up the new Pointer Event
            m_PointerEventData = new PointerEventData(m_EventSystem);
            //Set the Pointer Event Position to that of the mouse position
            m_PointerEventData.position = Mouse.current.position.ReadValue();

            //Create a list of Raycast Results
            List<RaycastResult> results = new List<RaycastResult>();

            //Raycast using the Graphics Raycaster and mouse click position
            m_Raycaster.Raycast(m_PointerEventData, results);

            //For every result returned, output the name of the GameObject on the Canvas hit by the Ray
            foreach (RaycastResult result in results)
            {
                result.gameObject.GetComponent<EventTrigger>().OnPointerClick(m_PointerEventData);
            }
        }
    }
}

I put this on a ui element

and done

i apply a eventrigger and done

[karmic vale]

How can I make it so I can move the cursor with my controller joystick

[chrome walrus]

Look above @karmic vale Naidio just posted an answer to this

[astral panther]

So I'm using this basic set up to run the input system on a script I have

        playerControls.Standing.Enable();
        playerControls.Standing.Move.performed += ctx => moveInput = ctx.ReadValue<Vector2>();
        playerControls.Standing.Move.canceled += ctx => moveInput = Vector2.zero;
        playerControls.Standing.Interact.performed += ctx => Interact();

[chrome walrus]

looks good

[astral panther]

But if I make any changes to the script during play mode, the input system stops listening to any input. I know the script is still running

but not being able to change code during play mode is a deal breaker

How can I fix this problem?

is there another approach to the input system that won't cause this issue?

[chrome walrus]

nope, thats how it works

[astral panther]

btw the object holding the faulty script does not have a player input component

damn

but it has a reference to an instance of the player component class

[chrome walrus]

Everytime you hit play, Unity somehow compiles your scripts, or even more, when it loads them after a changed save. You unity can't process your scripts and reimport at the same time. THink of bigger changes, that affect the whole app/game, how should Unity track that 😄

[astral panther]

Wait

I can still make changes in the script during play mode

and they go through

it's just the input system specifically that stops working

so unity can process and reimport them

this is why I'm asking this, because JUST the input logic that stops working

When I edited the script, I added this bit of code just to make sure the script was still working:
controller.Move(transform.forward * speed * Time.deltaTime);
and the character started moving forwards

[chrome walrus]

no no no... 😄

Maybe it doesn't break everything, but be sure, that your app will have lots of issues when you change a script during runtime. Just because your script might be a simple one and therefore it keeps running does not mean, that other code will run and you can rely on it. Just dont do it. Changes in edit mode, than hit play. thats how Unity works

[astral panther]

I'll do it

it's very practical

and one of the things about Unity that I like a lot

it makes coding much faster and easier, there's no reason not to use this

if it breaks something in play mode I just reload it. Everyone should definitely be doing it

anyway and I got my answer here

The Input System does not yet support the new 2019.3 mode where domain reloads are disabled when entering play mod

I'll revert to the old input system

[chrome walrus]

phew okay, I would not love to rely on putting extra lines everywhere and hope that it does not mess up after not reloading in playmode 😄 but yeah, if you are familiar with it, its a good to know feature of Unity.

[midnight lotus]

Is binding functions to to events in PlayerInput actually better than reading straight from a InputAction (like '''move.ReadValue<Vector2>()''')?

I see all of the examples Unity provides are using events.

But I found this way is not very intuitive. In comparison, reading directly from a InputAction is more like "the traditional way" of doing input handling.

[jagged wyvern]

if I'm using a state machine, does that mean I have to enable actions every time I go into a different state?

so I currently have this method that is called when the player is in a movable state

public void MovementInput()
        {
            if (!TransitioningToLevel)
            {
                move.x = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
                move.y = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
            }```

how do I get a movement action into the move vector?

Do I get it from the PlayerInput Component?

here's what my input actions look like

how would I get the walking vector?

here's my player input component

[chrome walrus]

You could just use the event instead of send messages like in th eexample https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.0/manual/QuickStartGuide.html

[jagged wyvern]

huh??

[chrome walrus]

Read the quickstartguide, there its also mentioned how to do it via script https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.0/manual/Actions.html#creating-actions

[jagged wyvern]

I'm here because the quickstart guide makes no sense

so...

if I'm using a state machine, does that mean I have to enable actions every time I go into a different state?```

[chrome walrus]

what part does not make sense for you?

[jagged wyvern]

I don't know how to call inputs

I set up the input actions I just don't know how to call it within a method

how do I get the movement vector?

[chrome walrus]

thats in the second link I sent you

[jagged wyvern]

So i have to put inputaction as a property?

[chrome walrus]

Just read it, like take your time to acutally learn it if you wanna use it, will make it easier for you in the future development. You have the action and you can hook into it with something liek cs var moveDirection = moveAction.ReadValue<Vector2>(); or cs myAction.performed += ctx => { if (ctx.ReadValue<float>() > 0.5f) trace.RecordAction(ctx); };

[jagged wyvern]

where is myAction coming from?

[chrome walrus]

Player.Walking would be your action for example

But I guess you did not read the guide at all, I won't hand feed it to you 😄

[jagged wyvern]

bruh the guide makes no sense

[chrome walrus]

It does, I used it

[jagged wyvern]

it doesn't say anything about linkiing the actions to the player.cs

[chrome walrus]

Yeah, guess so

I'm out, I am willing to help if my counterpart is willing to put effort in reading and researching.

[jagged wyvern]

none of this makes sense

[brittle prawn]

https://blogs.unity3d.com/2020/11/26/learn-the-input-system-with-updated-tutorials-and-our-sample-project-warriors/

@glass yacht Worth pinning?

[main moon]

i made it work the mouse movement

but unity only updates inside the game when i move the mouse itself

its like this: in the screen, the mouse is on the top right corner because i moved from the center to that position but the game only registers that the mouse is actually in the middle, and when i move just a little the mouse, he goes instantly to the top right corner.

I dont know how to fix

i am searching for low level input sytem stuff but nothing

[main moon]

Whats this?

I want to use this to override the mouse position

[chrome walrus]

What was your script again?

[jagged wyvern]

man making methods for every single button input is so annoying

[karmic vale]

How do you get a on key press with this new system

[jagged wyvern]

have u set up an actions asset?

[karmic vale]

No clue

I just installed it

[jagged wyvern]

oh well it's super complicated

[karmic vale]

Havent done anything besides that

Is it even worth doing all of this for the new input system

the old one was so much more simple and worked

[jagged wyvern]

It's only good if u have multiple gamepads and stuff

otherwise it's pretty bloated

[karmic vale]

i need support for controller and keyboard

[jagged wyvern]

the built in one does that

dont need the new one

[karmic vale]

how do i remove it and go back to the default

[jagged wyvern]

i think there's an uninstall in the package manager

[glass yacht]

you can switch it in the player settings

[karmic vale]

For the event system gameobject, what scripts did it have

[jagged wyvern]

idk

[karmic vale]

Missing script

how do i change back to default settings in player settings

[karmic vale]

ok ty

[timid flare]

Does anyone know how to add scroll wheel up or down to the hotkeys?

[jagged wyvern]

if I wanted to have a UI pop up would I have to change the action map to a UI control scheme?

[glass mason]

I am not sure if this is exactly an input system question, but I have a cube that has an OnMouseClick() function with a button that happens to be over it. How do I make it to where when I click the button it doesnt do the OnMouseClick() function of the block under it?

[jagged wyvern]

I have a wasd input set to vector2 but when I let go the value doesn't go to zero unlike the gamepad

what's the fix?

[jagged wyvern]

how do I get world position from mouse.current.position.getvalue()?

[eager cobalt]

Alright so I'm having an extremely strange problem.

I have this script.

In a completely empty scene.

The jump button on this map is the space key.

This is the log results from just mashing the button.

Reads for the first 3 seconds.

goes dead for 5 seconds for absolutely no reason.

returns after those 5

Anyone know what could possibly be doing this?

[jagged wyvern]

depends on what the action is set as in the input actions editor window

I think

😲

[pallid wedge]

Has anyone tried using the Joystick Pack from the asset store by Fenerax Studios?
If you put the OnScreenStick script in the parent Floating Joystick and make it a Left Stick [Gamepad], it works, but the outer circle also moves so it is weird.
But if you put the OnScreenStick on the childmost which is the Handle, it doesn't move weird but it doesn't read the new input system..

I tried removing the middle gameObject which is the background before the handle and it worked, so I'm thinking that multiple parenting or maybe in canvas is where the problem.

[cloud night]

With the new input system am I able to tie WASD to a vector2 with in it or do I have to do that out side of it with code?

[tame oracle]

From examples I've seen, you definitely don't have to do it on your own with code. But I can't help you with how to. Just informing you that it is possible 😛

will look into it now, since I need that as well.

will try to update you if i find some more

[cloud night]

@tame oracle I figured it out

gives you a normalized 1d axis that you can then easy convert to a vector2 in code

[tame oracle]

ah ye, that's pretty much the example I saw before. thnx for updating me 🙂

[cloud night]

Just make sure you set the the trigger behavior so you can get events for the reset of the button.

[copper night]

Guys, im trying to poll an action with InputAction.IsPressed()

i have an InputAction variable, but

.IsPressed() or .WasPressedThisFrame() just returns me InputAction does not contain a definition for .IsPressed()

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.1/manual/Actions.html#polling-actions

Am i doing something wrong?

ok apparently it works if i do action.activeControl.IsPressed()

but that doesnt take into account the hold interaction

basicly all i want is a bool which is true when action is performed, without having to use callbacks

[midnight lotus]

I've got the same question

I'm using action.phase == Phase.Performed

To find if the button is being held

I think it's not very elegant

action.ReadValue<float>() > 0.7f might work as well

But I personally just hate writing codes like this

[tame oracle]

With the unity input package, how do I get the control scheme being used. For my camera controls, I need to process the inputs per update frame in the case of a controller but on demand (every time a new input is detected) for the mouse.

processing mouse inputs through update can be kinda clunky even at like 2000 frames at high sensitivities

[copper night]

Yeah i'm experiencing the same thing, im using mouse delta to rotate my camera around a target in LateUpdate and sometimes i get some 180 degree rotations that was not supposed to happen

[tame oracle]

If I process the camera rotation in Update() it works pretty good except in high sensitivity scenarios in which case it's more of a staircase style movement

Even at 2000 frames which then it should be smooth as butter

IE - you can see the clunkyness if you look at the cubes as the camera pans. It's not the recording... https://streamable.com/qbf1by

[copper night]

Have u tried late update? I don't have that problem

[tame oracle]

Yes - have you tried upping the sensitivity? It's pretty smooth at normal/low sensitivites

My code is kinda all over the place but :

InputFunctions.cs

    {
        m_CameraPhysics.RotateCamera(m_CameraInput.y, m_CameraInput.x);

    }```

```    void OnLook(InputValue value)
    {
        float phi = value.Get<Vector2>().x;
        float theta = value.Get<Vector2>().y;

        m_CameraInput = new Vector2(phi, theta);
    }```

CameraPhysics.cs
```void Update()
    {
        
        
        if (1==1)
            if (m_FirstPerson)
            {
                Vector3 euler = m_Camera.transform.localRotation.eulerAngles;
                euler.x -= m_InputTheta * m_1stCameraSpeed;
                // If our rotation is above '0'/'360' (same thing), decrease by 360f to make negative version
                if (euler.x > 180f)
                    euler.x = Mathf.Clamp(euler.x -= 360f, m_1stMinThetaAngle, m_1stMaxThetaAngle);
                else
                    euler.x = Mathf.Clamp(euler.x, m_1stMinThetaAngle, m_1stMaxThetaAngle);
                euler.y += m_InputPhi * m_1stCameraSpeed;

                m_Camera.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(euler);
            }
            else // if third person...
            {

            }
        ClearInputs();
    }```

```    public void RotateCamera(float theta, float phi)
    {
        m_InputTheta += theta;
        m_InputPhi += phi;
    }

The Update() in CameraPhysics is a bit weird because Unity considers straight forward to be 0 and 360 and if you move above it it goes from 360 to 270 (looking straight up) and below the centerline it goes from 0 to 90 (looking straight down)

Although I dont have any issues with turning 180deg so maybe it will help with your issue?

[raven nebula]

hey guys whats the keycode for left click?

[tame oracle]

@raven nebula You can find these in the debugging window

So <Mouse>/leftButton

[tame oracle]

@copper night If you're still working on camera controls.... looks like things are more complicated than I thought and the only way to remove stutter is to essentially set goals in your fixedupdate and lerp in your update (use both) - you may find this article useful https://www.kinematicsoup.com/news/2016/8/9/rrypp5tkubynjwxhxjzd42s3o034o8

Aparantly everyone saying that all physics code should go in the fixedupdate only are just wrong about everything

[weary apex]

Does a class have to inherit from MonoBehavior in order for InputActions to work?

[chrome walrus]

Not sure, guess not @weary apex Do you get an error or something?

[midnight lotus]

Think it's irrelevant

[small sequoia]

hi, i'm trying to make my player move but it won't work, even the values don't change.

i followed this guy's tutorial on it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNiM53UbGfA

here's the code for it https://pastebin.com/hZh2cU3T

if you guys have any way to fix this please let me know

[static coral]

I think you'd need Control.Enable() in Awake?

[small sequoia]

that worked

[tame oracle]

Alright my stuttering is caused by the <Pointer>/delta input. It does not occur with a controller of if I use up/down/left/right controls on the keyboard. I know that delta reads the pixel movements on the mouse - how would this mess up code that is working with other kinds of inputs?

https://streamable.com/qbf1by

It would seem the stuttering only occurs if moving in both up/down and left/right coordinates - if I only move in one direction there is no stutter

[sick cradle]

most of the physics code should go in fixedupdate and there's very little reason to stuff anything non-simulation related in fixedupdate (be it physics sim or your own)

of course this is by assuming you actually use automated physics stepping in Unity

[tame oracle]

@sick cradle I've been discussing this in physics but I actually think there is no reason to use FixedUpdate at all if you're using a character controller (no rigid body attached). This is because there are no physics simulations or calculations that happen to a character controller every frame (only when Move() is called). Thus, your code does not actually need to be in sync with the rest of the physics loop because it's not really using the physics system

In the case of a rigidbody, the rigidbody is doing all sorts of physics calculations like gravity, collisions, momentum transfer, etc. so your code needs to be in sync with these calculations

[sick cradle]

in case of char controller, you'd definitely want to at least substep it's simulation even if you don't want to do it at fixed timesteps... but there's a serious benefit for using fixed timesteps for char movement too and it's that it's always going to be "same". That being said, Unreal uses the substepping setup for their chars and their users seem to be happy with it

you don't really need the substeps if the framerate is high, but you'll run into trouble if you don't add extra steps at low framerate as the delta time grows longer

[tame oracle]

I don't think you can actually be frame rate independent in a game loop. Even if you check to see if the time between your last loop and now is somewhere near 0.2, it's not actually going to have a time.deltaTime of 0.2. It's going to be like 0.0201 or 0.0198 or something. If you multiply an acceleration by deltaTime, it shouldn't matter if deltaTime is consistant or not, you should still move consistantly (unless you have a really low framerate in which case you won't regardless of whether you use FixedUpdate or Update(). Only way to get independent loops is to literally pause your code which you would never want to do because then Update() wouldn't work

You could definitely implement something where you only run your code 30 times a second or something but I think you're better off implementing it on a different frame than the one thats controlling your physics (which will already be longer due to the physics calculations) and you may want it to update more or less frequently than the rest of your physics engine.

Either way, I am convinced my code is failing due to the way mouse inputs work because it works flawlessly with up/down/left/right on the keyboard or a controller

[weary apex]

Not exactly... I get the inputs working properly when they're in a player object (monobehavior) but if I try to put them in a container class they don't seem to work

[chrome walrus]

Do you enable them as suggested? @weary apex

[weary apex]

right, I guess since it's not a monobehavior onEnable doesn't work. I enabled it in constructor instead and that works. Thanks

[small sequoia]

hi, the gravity logic for my character Controller doesn't work, it might be cause of the new input system or something else either way. here's my code https://pastebin.com/NPVLaCEG let me know if there's a solution

[tame oracle]

moveDirection may be a member variable but you are assigning it to a new Vector3() that has 0 as it's y value. Instead just do moveDirection.x = moveInput.x and moveDirection.z = moveInput.z

@small sequoia

[small sequoia]

yeah it was that "new Vector3()" input causing it, thanks @tame oracle

[stark sinew]

hi there. i am using the old input system and i am trying to get directional input on a second controller. whenever i click play, my controllers are just being recognized as one controller for the 1st player. i already looked into the inputaxis and adjusted to second joystick along with double checking what inputaxis im getting in the playercontroller script but it doesnt seem to work, am i missing a step?

[dire spade]

Does the input system support gravity/sensitivity for axis? kinda like Input.GetAxis("Horizontal")
instead of
(x, y) = (0, 1) > (0, 0)
it should be (0,1) > (0, 0.9) > ... etc .. (0, 0.1) > (0, 0)

[sharp mirage]

how do i tell unity to use one connected controller and not another?
because im using my nintendo switch pro controller and it is only directinput
so i downloaded a program x360 which pretends to be an xbox 360 controller that i then mapped the buttons on the pro controller to
only problem is the original directinput pro controller also connects to unity and the button mapping on that is all wrong
so how do i tell it to only use the fake xbox 360 controller and not the original directinput pro controller

[olive socket]

I'm comming back to unity after two years

need to know how to use this new Input Manager

for now only wanna use WASD to make my car move

and rotate on a pivot using WASD

not using forces scripts to control how I move my car

[solar plover]

Well, you're going to have to use some form of movement written through a script. Translation with Transform, Rigidbody, or CharacterController. There are third party tools as well too but you'll likely need to script something. Assuming you meant:

not using forces scripts to control how I move my car

There should be plenty of tutorials out on YT or the web to associate the new input system with scripts and would probably provide enough to get simple movement.

[olive socket]

yes I am using rigidbody but but using iskinimatics

[olive socket]

I am looking into tutorials I hope by night I'll be able to complete movement part done

[tame oracle]

Upgrading to a new unity version with a new input system version resolved my issues with the mouse. Apparently the mouse's delta event was glitchy before

[thick panther]

I'm making a multi player game using mirror, networking is all working fine. However when I'm running 2 test build windows my controller inputs are being read on both instances. I've tried disabling "Run In Background" and setting my input script to only read "if Application.isFocused" but it's still not ignoring input on the inactive window. Does anyone have any idea how I can resolve this issue, it's making testing very difficult. Thanks.

[cloud night]

    {
        PlayerMove = new Vector3(value.Get<float>() * 10, PlayerMove.y, PlayerMove.z);
    }
    public void OnForward(InputValue value)
    {
        PlayerMove = new Vector3(PlayerMove.x, PlayerMove.y, value.Get<float>() * 10);
    }``` This is what I use for rigid body movement. PlayerMove is then acted on in my fixed update method.

[narrow mantle]

hey guys, im creating a game for a school project, and i have a wierd bug, some animations after input, turn in the camera direction, when it is suposed to do the attack to the other side, on the animation preview it is all alright, all help would be apreciated

[chrome walrus]

So seems like it is a bug or something. I am using the new input system and a button inside my UI is getting fired twice

anyone had this issue before?

Okay, I resolved it. The option in the Input Debugger is called "Simulate touch input from mouse"... which in Editor just calls the Mouse OnClick as well as the Input Touch, so twice....

just simple

no snippet are given

hi, I'm looking to add a function where the player has to press 2 buttons at the same time like a fighting game. is there a way to do that or a tutorial covering it?

If I wanted to detect if a button is held down shorter or longer would I need two separate actions?

[brittle rune]

Hi guys, can someone pls help me with my swipe movement?

https://hatebin.com/

the thing is that it works but not exactly as I want it to

because what I want is to add the PlayerPos to the current player position instead of =

does someone knows how can I add it instead of just saying transform.position = PlayerPos;?

[ocean jacinth]

@brittle rune you hadn't add code

you are giving hatebin link

not your code link

[brittle rune]

I copied my code and pasted it there

ooo

[ocean jacinth]

first save in hatebin

[brittle rune]

https://hatebin.com/fhjgsusodz

[ocean jacinth]

@brittle rune I could help but I don't know what Mathf.Clamp do

[brittle rune]

It’s just limiting the x position to the corners of the screen

[ocean jacinth]

ok

I understanded

would you wanting '+='

instead of '='

right that and run

[brittle rune]

I add it where the Mathf clamp line is?

[ocean jacinth]

no

where you write transform.position = PlayerPos;

[brittle rune]

I tried that but I get an error

[ocean jacinth]

but remember you are adding value. So it will be too much as you gave value to PlayerPos

ok

change Vector2 to Vector3

and assign z to transform.position.z

now it will not give error @brittle rune

[brittle rune]

Okay, I’ll try

Well, now I was able to do it but I got weird results because the player disappeared from the screen

[ocean jacinth]

yes

I told you

decrease value of PlayerPos

If you are adding it's too much @brittle rune

[brittle rune]

Ok

Now instead of moving really fast in all the axis it’s only moving really fast on the x axis but to the left

O, i think I know what to do

[ocean jacinth]

you should use very less value

as 0.4f

in x

[brittle rune]

Ok, thanks

Right now I have school so I’ll try it later

[ocean jacinth]

try and tell again

Now school?

[brittle rune]

Online school

I’m in Mexico

[ocean jacinth]

oh

i am in india

[brittle rune]

I’ll tell you the results later, thanks

[ocean jacinth]

ok

[thick panther]

I don't know about any tutorials, but if you want logic to fire only when both keys are pressed you can use && in your if statement to require both parameters.

[ocean jacinth]

@small sequoia obviously you need to check using '&&' and write 2nd key

[ocean jacinth]

I think you need timer type. learn timer in youtube. When button pressed start timer and when Button left stop timer. Calculate time between these. you probably need only one to check the time between holding in and out. But you need extra timer code. (see closely in youtube. If it is not a cooldown timer than see it).

[jagged wyvern]

Its ok i just used the duration property in the conrext of the action

How can I fix this?

because the swipe system works fine until I touch a part of the screen where the player isn't there

[jagged wyvern]

anyone else have trouble clicking on ui with the built in UI selection actions?

@jagged wyvern are you asking for troble

in clicking buttons

@brittle rune I can't understand you

@solar pulsar use Anchors and set it to corner

using anchors it will easy

[jagged wyvern]

?

[solar pulsar]

@ocean jacinth they are set, but when i drag them to the edge, they don't snap to it

But in my other projects it still works.

Ok, my buttons are weird, their edges don't snap any more, but their center does. A new button works just fine, so I'll just replace the old ones with new.

[brittle rune]

I’m making a hyper casual game and I just want to make a swipe movement like in the game cube surfer. But the problem is that my movement works mainly with the position of my player equaling my finger position, but when I swipe somewhere where my player isn’t there it looks like he teleports. So how can I stop the player from teleporting and just add the touch position to the player instead of equaling it?.

[upper dove]

Is it the case that you can't have multiple PlayerInput objects active in the same scene at the same time?

I'm running into issues with trying to do that, but no errors are being logged.

[brittle rune]

No, I just need to come up with a solution to add the touch position to my player instead of equaling the same position https://hatebin.com/fhogimoitg

[brittle rune]

This type of movement is what I want to get

[upper dove]

Why the hell can't you rename action maps

Okay, you can. There's just no option when you rightclick but if you doubleclick it works.

Who wrote this.

Okay, I have a player that is spawned dynamically at runtime from a prefab and a main camera that is sat in the scene at start. Because of this I can't use a single PlayerInput between them if I want to be able to set and manage events via the inspector (the player prefab can't use the main camera as a target for an event and vice versa). Is there any way to make multiple PlayerInput components in the same scene work or do I just need to register events in a single PlayerInput component at runtime?

[ocean jacinth]

@brittle rune may I can solve this. For making a logic of this time start with easiness. I think make a prefab of an empty and assign that empty a tag. eg:- touchPos.
now in touch code you can write
https://hatebin.com/swbaidmpop

and In player script
https://hatebin.com/evgustwhpj

[jagged wyvern]

how come the button doesn't work when I click on it?

I'm using the default actions input for UI interaction

        Vector2 currentPosition = new Vector2(lastPositionX, lastPositionY);
 
        while (Vector3.Distance(currentPosition, transform.position) > .02f)
        {
            transform.position = Vector2.MoveTowards(transform.position, currentPosition, Time.deltaTime * playerSpeed);
        }
        if (Vector3.Distance(currentPosition, transform.position) <= .02f)
        {
            distanceNotAchieved = true;
        }
        yield return new WaitWhile(() => !distanceNotAchieved);
    }

can someone explain why this teleports me instead of moving me slowly ?

[ocean jacinth]

@waxen jackal remove 'transform.position = ' just write Vector2.MoveTowards

and it is recommended to write in update

[waxen jackal]

ok thanks!

[olive socket]

how do I use these Input Mapping to drive a car which is this following structure (I am following Unity Wheel Collider thingy from their documentation)

[copper night]

Mhhh, somehow while learning the Input system, it created an Input Actions asset already set-up for UI. I would like to create a new one but i don't remember how i did it. Any pointers?

[jagged barn]

hmm so i am trying to figure out how to use XR in unity 2020.1 but all the tutorials are outdated because the component script called XR Controller doesn't exist...
i am following this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGYtahQjmWQ&t=683s

and i cant find any tutorials for xr with the new input system that was introduced

so im stuck on how to make xr movement

i guess this goes more in vr i just didnt see the channel lol

also it looks like the xr plugin managment disappeared from project settings

bruh so this wasnt enabled... but i have preview packages installed.. how does that make sense lol

hi! i've got my input system working (debug.log shows my inputs being triggered) but when i try to catch the messages in a script, it doesn't seem like my script knows about the input system library. I tried using UnityEngine.InputSystem; but it doesn't like it. What's the correct way to import the library into a script?

[brave thistle]

ah magic - I regenerated project files within Edit > Preferences, and Visual Studio 2019 is happyagain 🙂 https://forum.unity.com/threads/cannot-find-unityengine-inputsystem.807645/#post-5401134

[static coral]

You need to put a Player Input component on something, and then it has a Create Actions... button (you can delete the component afterwards if you're not using it)

[brittle magnet]

Could anyone tell me why these events are not firing, none of the Input method's content seems to work. Its not triggering breakpoints, and just in general ignoring the attached actions...
tho the controls object exists and the actions are initialized, its never actually resolving the actions. https://hatebin.com/pquafwchba

I think it might have to do with the property I am using but I'm not entirely sure

[sand shadow]

using it like that with the new Input system but it wont work:

 playerActionControls.Movement.Movement.performed += x => input_Movement = x.ReadValue<Vector2>();

Vector3 move = new Vector3(input_Movement.x, 0, input_Movement.y);

with the old one i got (which worked):

Vector3 move = transform.right * Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") + transform.forward * Input.GetAxis("Vertical");

[sand shadow]

is there something where i can check if a button is released or pressed or hold?

[hard tinsel]

@sand shadow At "Interactions" on the right you can chose between Multi-Tap,Press and hold (and possibly something I'm missing right now).
Don't know if this is what you're looking for tho

But for a little problem of my own...

        player1 = PlayerInput.Instantiate(inputPrefab, 0 ,"Arrows",0, Keyboard.current);

        Debug.LogWarning(player1.currentControlScheme); 

the Debug Log at this point always puts out "Null", this is also represented by the ingame behaviour - which is kinda annoying. I'm literally defining the control scheme of the instantiated object 1 line above, so how does it not register?

And how can I fix this?

[dusky veldt]

Does anyone know if there's any way to check if an input has been released, other than by only using "ReadValue<float>()" ? I'm looking for a way to achieve something similar to Input.GetKeyUp in the new input system

[dusky veldt]

never mind, I figured it out!

[covert heron]

Hello there, recently I am trying to work on an input script that functions like a button but have support on holding down for seconds

I am achieving it by inherit the selectable base class

By overwriting the OnPointerDown and OnPointerUp I am able to easily finish the mouse part, but I am struggling on the keyboard part

I found no interface that I can implement in order to get a call back when I am pressing a selected button by keyboard

I am wondering if there is any work around

[chrome walrus]

So you are using the old input system or the new one? @covert heron

[covert heron]

New one

But the event system shares the same interface right?

[chrome walrus]

It shares the OnPointer stuff, yes.

So did you create an action binding with the keyboard?

[fast flare]

heyo i've been trying for a while, but for some reason the playerinputmanager only spawns one playerInput, despite the max player count being 4 (i've put the max player count off before and every controller works as it should)

[bold mauve]

Join Players When Join Action Is Triggered

change it to when button is pressed ? To see if that's the source of problem

(dunno if you have a join action)

[fast flare]

it didn't help it sadly

[bold mauve]

Oh. Not sure I know why then.

Did you try to debug the callback OnPlayerJoined() or smthg like that

maybe your additionnal controllers are not recognized by your OS :p

[vast portal]

My EventSystem's InputModule component doesn't work when I return to this scene. Any ideas why?

[vast portal]

I think it's fixed? My canvas was set up weird (for some reason, I had an EventSystem component attached to it)

[covert heron]

Yes... I basically create a static Input Action and initialize it use a static function

Then I can register and deRegister the listener in OnSelect and OnDeSelect

and process the holding action inside a coroutine

[chrome walrus]

@covert heron can you show us the code? So you are writing the action yourself or using the Input Manager ?

[covert heron]

Okay

Anyway, I manage to make it work

These are the parts that handle the initialization

These parts are for assigning and deAssigning the command

This part is for interruption

These are the core logic

[ionic coral]

For anyone interested, I've made an attempt to make a selection screen (Smash Brox. style) utilizing the new input system. The idea is for a template so anyone can create selection screens and have the players/controllers persist. Been driving me nuts, so I hope I finally have it, and also hope it can help more than just me. Thread I created here: https://forum.unity.com/threads/local-multiplayer-selection-screen-solution.1019263/
Project is here: https://github.com/GeneralProtectionFault/InputLocalMultiplayerTemplate

[chrome walrus]

@ionic coral is this targeting local multiplayer?

And thanks for sharing btw 🙂

[ionic coral]

Yes, that's exactly right, and you're welcome. I haven't tried to make it into my actual game projects yet, but I'm hoping the basics are in there 🙂

Local multiplayer seems to be the bane of the input system 😄

[chrome walrus]

Oh really, thought you could handle that with the device stuff, will look into it when I get the time 🙂

[ionic coral]

Haha, well I just mean I notice a lot of folks have had trouble with it judging by the forum :P. I think the system can handle it, but it seemed to me you really gotta get into the weeds to do it, or at least we will until it matures more.

[chrome walrus]

@ionic coral totally agree, this is still like a beta thing somehow

thats the code i used to move the player and i put it in Update(), if anyone has a solution to this please let me know

[ionic coral]

Generally, I think you want to store readValue in a field and update it with a method that you call from the Events on PlayerInput, then just do the actual moving in Update (). I'm not sure if what you have "should" work, though, I don't recognize the Gameplay.Movement API stuff.

But there's also some new stuff in the preview packages.

@small sequoia sorry forgot to target you in the message lol

[small sequoia]

i figured it out but now my rigidbody gravity and movement is really slow to the point where i have to turn up the speed to 1000

    {
        Vector2 readValue = proController.GamePlay.Movement.ReadValue<Vector2>();
        Vector3 move = new Vector3(readValue.x, RBody.velocity.y, readValue.y).normalized;

        move = camera.transform.forward * move.z + camera.transform.right * move.x;
        MoveInput = readValue;
        MoveDirection = move;
        //move = move * speed * Time.deltaTime;
        //RBody.MovePosition(move);
        transform.LookAt(transform.position + new Vector3(move.x, 0, move.z));
        //transform.rotation = Quaternion(move)
        RBody.velocity = move * speed * Time.deltaTime;

    }```

theres the code for the move function

here's what the problem looks like ingame. if anyone has a solution to this, please let me know

[mild rapids]

A mass of 1 is very little

[small sequoia]

so what mass should i set it?

i'm serious cause does the gravity get stronger the higher the mass or when it is lower?

@mild rapids i set the mass to 1000, it didn't work, i set it to 0.1, it didn't work so i don't think the mass has anything to do with the low gravity issue

@small sequoia

[lavish bloom]

Has anyone had experience with the "new InputSystem". I am struggling. I set up my Action Mappings and I'd like to use SendMessage. I want to react to a MouseDown (press) event and then get the mouse position. it seems to be impossible. If i watch the value and listen to position i get position updates. if i add the interaction to only react to Press Only, the event will only initially fire once. therefore using "value" does not work. if i only use "button" i can only react to press and release events and have no access to the position. im going crazy 😄

[small sequoia]

@mild rapids i did that and it didn't work, have seen my code i sent earlier?

[mild rapids]

I've seen only the one from 21:12

[small sequoia]

thats the code i'm working with now

can i move this convo to #⚛️┃physics?

[snow pilot]

does anyone know how i can set up a button.ui on inputmaneger?

or how can i do it in script to detect if a button.ui was "clicked / touched"? I don't want to use events to call methods, I just need to know if it was clicked or not

someone ?

[ashen pendant]

Ok I am using Ui Toolkit preview + new InputSystem. I have a simple UI I built with just a visualelement and a button (created via UI builder). I can click the button and get an event just fine if I load it in a empty project. As soon as I add it to an existing project I no longer receive the click events. Any ideas?

[jagged wyvern]

how do I check what interaction behaviors are triggered?

[ionic coral]

Are you trying to listen for a mouse click independent of a player, or do you have a PlayerInput attached to an object, etc...?

[covert heron]

Hello, just wondering

Do we have something that we can add listener to when user has change the current input devices? (New input system)

Like that Monster Hunter World styled input tips

[lilac fulcrum]

I'm having a problem where I can't Serialize my input system for some reason

Also, when I try to do controls = new MasterInputs(); my inputs don't seem to work anyway

[bold mauve]

Try the type InputActions?

[lilac fulcrum]

That just gives me a menu for input actions. I have a generated class that I want to use

[green hazel]

So, quick question:
Worth it to port to the new input system if I want to support xbox, ps, nintendo? Or is there a great way to fix this in the old one? Ty

[lilac fulcrum]

new input system by the looks of it vastly superior but I'm having trouble getting it to function

[chrome walrus]

You have to enable them, did you? @lilac fulcrum

[green hazel]

Yeah, I tried it the other day, it's rather sweet.
I used this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRI44aYLDQs) to learn it 🙂

[lilac fulcrum]

I don't think so, I'll try it

[chrome walrus]

@lilac fulcrum jsut call your controls.Enable(); after you created it in script

[lilac fulcrum]

I'm trying to use the Player Input component now but I get this error when I press my crouch key:

[chrome walrus]

Show the code 😉

[chrome walrus]

Does it tell you what line hits this error?

[lilac fulcrum]

I figured it out

The parameter has to be an InputValue

[chrome walrus]

Alrighty 🙂

[jagged wyvern]

I set an action with a value type vector 2 and I want a deadzone on my analog but when I set stick deadzone on my game pad it doesn't change anything

can I get some help?

[ashen pendant]

With the Unity's new InputSystem my mouse is reporting PointerEventData.pointerid == 2 for all mouse buttons. These should return as negitive values. Any ideas?

[ocean jacinth]

@brittle rune have you solved your problem. Cuz I got a new Idea to solve

[static coral]

Hey, when using inputAction.GetBindingDisplayString(i), it seems to return the string in system language. Is there any way to always have it as english?

[chrome walrus]

Shouldn't it return your string that you set ? @static coral

[static coral]

For example, when doing this

for (var i = 0; i < action.bindings.Count; i++)
{
    Debug.Log(action.GetBindingDisplayString(i));
}

It prints this: https://i.imgur.com/ZMW0SU7.png

The first one is ok (A on gamepad),
The second one printed is Space translated into system language, while I'd want just Space

[chrome walrus]

Do you set the language inside your app?

Oh you cannot set it, its the OS language... hm, weird.

Well I guess you cant get the displaystring, as this gets it from the system itself and not a custom one you put in, so you might have to translate it yourself.

[tame oracle]

Hello, does the new Unity Input System support NearTouch on Oculus Touch controllers on the Trigger as well as the grip button somehow? It doesnt seem like the actions support that, I can only see the thumbstick, and the primary and secondary button ...

[brittle rune]

I haven’t solved it

[tame oracle]

anyone know why this is showing up? i feel like the answer is obvious but its just not clicking for me

[chrome walrus]

@tame oracle guess you have to hack your neartouch things into the Input system, it might give you some values, did you test to just output the raw data from the input system when selecting the oculus quest stuff?

[tawny cosmos]

Hi everyone! Has anyone used Rewired to create an input system to customize the button mapping (by the player at runtime), in which you can set two keys for the same action? I am having trouble, when changing a key, both (from the same action) get the same button, like they are mirrored values.

[ocean jacinth]

@brittle rune So you can do this
speed = 15f;
if(Input.touchCount > 0)
{
Vector2.MoveTowards(transform.position, Input.GetTouch(0).position, speed * Time.deltaTime);
}

adjust speed of your use

[brittle rune]

Okay, thanks!

[ocean jacinth]

if work please tell @brittle rune

[brittle rune]

Okay, I’ll try it in a bit

[ocean jacinth]

ok

[queen ether]

Hey, i have no clue but when i open a tab such as project settings this happens

[chrome walrus]

Did you reset the layout?

[queen ether]

Dont know how to do that so prob nope

Do you have any clues on how to fix it?

[chrome walrus]

Window -> Layouts -> choose one

[ashen pendant]

public static class PointerEventDataExtension
{
    private const int LeftMouseClickPointerId = -1;
    private const int RightMouseClickPointerId = -2;
    private const int CenterMouseClickPointerId = -3;

    public static bool PointerIdIsLeftMouse(this PointerEventData eventData) => eventData.button == PointerEventData.InputButton.Left;
    public static bool PointerIdIsRightMouse(this PointerEventData eventData) => eventData.button == PointerEventData.InputButton.Right;
    public static bool PointerIdIsCenterMouse(this PointerEventData eventData) => eventData.button == PointerEventData.InputButton.Middle;
}```

I had to switch to Button vs pointerId with the new input system. Anyone know why pointerId no longer returns negitive values for mouse clicks?

[chrome walrus]

pointerid did return negative values? It should 0 left, 1 middle, 2 right, doesnt it?

[ashen pendant]

the values above are what is returned for the old system.

if I switch to the new input system it returns 2 for all buttons.

[chrome walrus]

What does the whole pointerdata give you, can you destuingish between different clicks?

[ashen pendant]

yes, I can destungish using eventData.button. However, I was expecting eventData.pointerId to not return 2 for all events, as it did with the previous inputsystem.

So I have a workaround, but this difference makes me concerned something isnt right with my setup

[pliant verge]

Can I somehow make the "new" input system call all methods automatically if I make a class implement the interface?

[proper dome]

anyone hare already have any problem where the ActionInput not show at inspector to associate?

[jagged wyvern]

@proper dome what do u mean?

[proper dome]

@jagged wyvern i was following a old tutorial and they drag the controller to make a reference... i just got a new one were make a new instance and it work

@jagged wyvern tkz for the reply

[rancid lichen]

Hey all. I want to use the Input System to invoke Unity Events but I have not been able to find any resources on that. Does anyone have a tutorial or something for me to try?

[ocean jacinth]

@brittle rune my suggestion worked?

[atomic veldt]

Hey 👋! I've had this problem since I switched to the new Input System: https://imgur.com/a/cFHyGjT and here's the player settings that I have selected it: https://imgur.com/IEjCl8S and I did read unity forums about updating to new input system, and they said there was a button to update it from the old one in the eventsystem gameobject but there's none: https://imgur.com/T6LOcl7? How could I solve this (prefabably not using the "Both" option in player settings)?

[glass yacht]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.0/manual/UISupport.html

[atomic veldt]

oh didn't notice that, thanks

it isn't showing even i have Unity UI installed:

in pkg manager:

wait my bad 😄

[pliant verge]

how does this "hold" stuff work? I added hold but it still calls it if I tap the button?? (Same for the otherway around)

[finite hawk]

please could someone help im trying to change a HandleMouseClick(); to a if(ChatInputs.ToLower() == "Command Here") can anyone help please

[brittle rune]

Sorry for the late respond, I've been busy lately xd. But it did worked, thanks!

[ocean jacinth]

ok @brittle rune

[green hazel]

Pulling my hair rn...
New input system, horizontal movement. It moves for a bit, then stops, then I have to press again for it to move a bit more, and so on.
Only keyboard and d-pad, not analog stick on gamepad.

[green hazel]

Doh, sorted

[hard valve]

Sorry guys this is just a ragepost after spending several hours thinking I was dumb.

WHY THE HELL IS THIS COMPLETE LACK OF FUNCTIONALITY HIDDEN?
WHAT IS THE POINT OF HAVING A REMOTE DEBUG APP IF IT DOESNT SUPPORT YEARS OLD FEATURES?!

Context: https://forum.unity.com/threads/new-input-system-and-unity-remote-5.735968/?_ga=2.76784213.196500268.1607876057-98644595.1602264069#post-6200318

[chrome walrus]

@hard valve Should be put in general tbh. But besides that, what do you mean with years old features? Unity Remote itself is years old not not being updated for a long time now

Last Update on iOS was 2016...

[covert heron]

Is there a way/work around that I can perform a rebind on the C# class generated from the input Asset?

[chrome walrus]

@covert heron what you mean with rebind?

[urban raft]

uff

I am completely new to the Unity Input System

Can I use forces on my rigidbody for movement in the input system?

or do I need to change everything I had before? xD

just @ me thanks 🙂

if (Input.GetKey("d"))
            {
                rb.AddForce((sidewayMove / airSlowdown) * Time.deltaTime, 0, 0, ForceMode.VelocityChange);
            }

I had this before for moving right as an example

[olive mortar]

@urban raft Using the new input system is complex, you can no longer do this with the new input system

[chrome walrus]

Well, you dont have to rewrite anything tbh. @urban raft you just have rewrite the if part and initialize the Input Actions you get from your Bindings once, then you can do what you want, it is a total separate thing when talking about rigidbodies, Inputs are just for giving you values you can then use, in your case, it would be pressed or not pressed.

[urban raft]

Ok

[grizzled owl]

Not really, I don't think it's more complex than before. It depends on your target devices

If you will work only with keyboards and mouse it's almost the same

[chrome walrus]

It is more complex to setup once, yep. But can help you get along with cleaner implementation afterwards

[grizzled owl]

Different people, different opinions yes, but I don't think it's complex to setup either. The hard part is to find the thing you are looking for in the documentation. Not everything is mentioned there

[chrome walrus]

Thats what I mean 😄 Tbh, if you went to use GetAxis and never touched the default settings of unity, mouse and / or gamepad worked out of the box, so lot of people might think, it gets more complicated now, when you actually have to decide what is doing what 😄

Besides that, if you need any help in rewriting, going into it and the docs stop helping, just come back here @urban raft

[urban raft]

yeah

I want to switch from keyboard to controller input

[chrome walrus]

Did you check this? https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.0/manual/QuickStartGuide.html

[urban raft]

is it better to have direct or indirect input?

so what exactly do I do with this?

do I have to connect a script for each side of movement?

[chrome walrus]

Depends on your personal preference, I usually hook my scripts inside scripting itself and only simple stuff inside the inspector. Just makes it more clear what is going on when having it in one place.

@urban raft

[urban raft]

hmmm ok

[chrome walrus]

Its fine using the inspector, just keep track of what you are hooking up. And if you change stuff, you might find yourself re hook everything, just because of a simple name change or what not. These are the downsides

[urban raft]

I have a problem

controls.Gameplay.Left.performed += ctx => move = ctx.ReadValue<Vector2>();

I used this for me Left move. But I can't use a Vector 2 because I only have 1 axis and not 2

Can I just use a float instead?

[chrome walrus]

So what do you get as move? is it a vector2?

[urban raft]

Well it says it cant read a Vector2

from my left behaviour

makes sense, because I only connected a left move on the stick

[chrome walrus]

Oh yeah, than you can just use float

It depends on what you set in actions, you get different parameters

[urban raft]

ok I changed it

I dont know now how I get the value on the player position

/ how to move my player now xD

[chrome walrus]

Oh thats not input system 😄 you got the move value, now you can use rigidbody or charactercontroller to move it 😄

[urban raft]

wait... I did it in the same script I had before with my simple movement with the forces

should I seperate those?

Or idk

I have no plan of what I am doing here with the input system haha

[chrome walrus]

can you show that part again of the old input?

[urban raft]

yes

if (Input.GetKey("d"))
            {
                rb.AddForce(sidewayMove * Time.deltaTime, 0, 0, ForceMode.VelocityChange);
            }

[chrome walrus]

yeah you can just use the sidewayMove for example and replace it with move, or multiply it with sidewayMove, might work better

and remove the if stuff around it

[urban raft]

but

isnt it then called constantly?

even if I dont press anything

[chrome walrus]

yep it is, but its 0 if you dont press anything

Like your float will be zero if you dont press the controller

[urban raft]

yeah but I cant differentiate between left or right

without an if statement

[chrome walrus]

It should go -1 to 1, right? @urban raft

[covert heron]

I mean a way of change each binding under every Action across all of my action maps

But direct inside the generated C# class instead through a player input component

[tame oracle]

could someone help me fix this

[chrome walrus]

@covert heron so you want the player to customize their input?

[chrome walrus]

@lost copper lets continue here.

So if you are using the new input system, the code in beginner-code wont work.

[lost copper]

ok

Input.GetKey(KeyCode.E)?

i was thinking of using that

[chrome walrus]

Did you just try and see if unity gives you an error, then you know if you have the new or old input system

But I guess as the guy on beginner said, if you did not change anything, you might be in old.

[lost copper]

na it was just a general question.

im still working on the script

[chrome walrus]

Okay, yeah so on old system, the InputGetKeyDown will tell you its true when the user started pressing in that frame, it wont return true during continous frames.

[lost copper]

ok

[chrome walrus]

GetKey will give you like holding the button

[lost copper]

im using version 2019. which is the newest right?

2019.4.14f1

[chrome walrus]

the newest stable, yep, but you can still use the old or new input system 🙂

[lost copper]

ok

aight thanks

[urban raft]

man idk how I get my movement working :/

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

        controls.Gameplay.Left.performed += ctx => moveLeft = ctx.ReadValue<float>();
        controls.Gameplay.Left.canceled += ctx => moveLeft = 0f;
        controls.Gameplay.Right.performed += ctx => moveRight = ctx.ReadValue<float>();
        controls.Gameplay.Right.canceled += ctx => moveRight = 0f;
    }

I got this but Idk how to put this onto the player and where in the script

I want to have a pushing force on a rigidbody

[north furnace]

Is is possible to get input from a specific gamepad in the new Input system with code similar to this:
(Gamepad.current.rightShoulder.wasPressedThisFrame
I want to know if the "rightShoulder" of gamepad1 was pressed or the rightShoulder of gamepad2 was pressed.

[north furnace]

To answer my own question:
Gamepad.all[gamepadIndex] is something that can be used to get a specific gamepad.

so to get the input from the first gamepad something like this can be made:

        {
            print(0);
        }
        if (Gamepad.all[1].rightShoulder.wasPressedThisFrame) //only gets input from the second gamepad
        {
            print(1);
        }```

[urban raft]

Ok I finally have my movement in the game

but I realized that I cant control my UI buttons xD

Do I need to make a new Input System also for my mouse?

[covert heron]

Yes

[jagged wyvern]

whenever I press a button I want to change a value, and make it go to zero when it's not pressed
but whenever I do it makes it go to zero right when the action is performed

does anyone have a fix for this?

[ocean jacinth]

@jagged wyvern i can't understand

but looking that i can solve

[jagged wyvern]

press = 1

release = 0

how do i do this

[ocean jacinth]

any key

or specifice key @jagged wyvern

[jagged wyvern]

like this ```cs

_inputActions.Player.MoveInventoryRight.performed += ctx => { InventoryDir = 1; print("right inv performed"); };
_inputActions.Player.MoveInventoryLeft.performed += ctx => { InventoryDir = -1; print("left inv performed"); };

        _inputActions.Player.MoveInventoryRight.canceled += ctx => InventoryDir = 0;
        _inputActions.Player.MoveInventoryLeft.canceled += ctx => InventoryDir = 0;```

[ocean jacinth]

pressing -> Input.GetKeyDown
releasing -> Input.GetKeyUp

@jagged wyvern

[jagged wyvern]

that's not what im using

im using the input system

[ocean jacinth]

ya i am seeing

but it's new input system i think

so i don't know it

[devout sandal]

I was messing around with the Input system package but then I wanted to remove it and now I get this error:
InvalidOperationException: You are trying to read Input using the UnityEngine.Input class, but you have switched active Input handling to Input System package in Player Settings. Movement.Update () (at Assets/scripts/Movement.cs:39)

how do I fix this?

[urban raft]

should I do this?

I cant control my UI buttons since I switched to the new input system

[devout sandal]

idk

[urban raft]

I had this error when I changed to the new one and used GetKeyDown in my script

but idk why you have it when you removed it

[devout sandal]

I just fixed it but thx for responding ^^

[urban raft]

ok 🙂

[atomic veldt]

yes

if u want to control ur ui buttons and want to keep your errors in console clear

[grizzled arrow]

Hey all 🙂 I'm finding that my switch pro controller does not show any events or input responses in the debugger when the controller is wired over usb-c, but it works perfectly through bluetooth. Is this a known issue or am I missing something?

[quartz flint]

i have many issues in my conttroller like it doesent build when i whant and doesent build when i want and it walks sloww

[chrome walrus]

@grizzled arrow Maybe it is attached with BT still even when using the USB C?

[split wadi]

heyho
I made a prototype of a game where I parent a rigidbody ball to a rigidbody player
everything works well when I put the prefab in the scene
but as soon as I use the PlayerInputManager to get a second player(even if I don't use the second player) the parenting doesn't work anymore
this is the parenting function

    private void Pickup(GameObject ball, GameObject hand)
    {
        ball.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().isKinematic = true;
        ball.GetComponent<SphereCollider>().isTrigger = true;
        ball.transform.SetParent(hand.transform);
        ball.transform.localPosition = Vector3.zero;
        ball.transform.rotation = hand.transform.rotation;
    }

i made a video to show you what happens
the first part is just the prefab in the scene
in the second part the PlayerInputManager adds the player to the scene

can someone help me?^^

[split wadi]

ok its getting weird now
i changed nothing since yesterday, but now only 2 balls work as expected and the 3rd ball is floating in the air like in the second part of the video
i fixed it by deleting the player in the scene and put it in again
how can that be?
maybe its not a PlayerInputManager problem?
the player has a capsulecollider, a rigidbody and it has 2 empty objects (handR and handL) parented to it
the ball has a spherecollider and a rigidbody
This is the function that uses the pickup function

    private void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision)
    {
        if (collision.gameObject.tag == "Ball")
        {
            if (handRfree == true & collision.gameObject.GetComponent<Ball>().picked == false)
            {
                ballR = collision.gameObject;
                Pickup(ballR, handR);
                handRfree = false;
                ballR.GetComponent<Ball>().picked = true;
            }
            else if (handLfree == true & collision.gameObject.GetComponent<Ball>().picked == false)
            {
                ballL = collision.gameObject;
                Pickup(ballL, handL);
                handLfree = false;
                ballL.GetComponent<Ball>().picked = true;
            }
        }
    }

is there something i can try to fix this?

[foggy lodge]

Hello guys.. i have a problem with my character movement.. my player does not move forward but move backwards in my game.. how do i fix it? is it bcuz of my coding or the 3D model?

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

public class BoatMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
    protected Joystick joystick;
    public Transform cam;

    private Rigidbody rb;

    public float moveSpeed;

    void Start()
    {
        joystick = FindObjectOfType<Joystick>();
        rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
    }

    void Update()
    {
        float x = joystick.Horizontal * moveSpeed;
        float y = joystick.Vertical * moveSpeed;

        Vector3 direction = new Vector3(x,0,y).normalized;
        
        if (direction.magnitude >= 0.1f)
        {
            rb.velocity = new Vector3(x*moveSpeed,rb.velocity.y,y*moveSpeed);

            transform.LookAt(transform.position + new Vector3(direction.x, 0, direction.z));
        }
    }
}

[split wadi]

hey @foggy lodge
i recommend the new input system its easy and clean
my player is moving with this:

    private void OnMove(InputValue value)
    {
        moveDir = value.Get<Vector2>();
    }
    private void FixedUpdate()
    {
        rb.velocity = new Vector3(moveDir.x, 0, moveDir.y) * moveSpeed;
    }

you just need to set it up
there are lots of youtube videos that will help you
or look here https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.0/manual/index.html

[foggy lodge]

my character is moving just fine.. just it's moving facing backwards

so that's why im asking whether it's because of my code up there or the 3D model

[weak trout]

Does it fix it to either put a - in front of one of the model's transform scale values to make the model face the opposite direction, or to use a - instead of a + in your LookAt call?

[foggy lodge]

ty, it fixed my problem by changing + to - at LookAt

[languid jetty]

How bad would it be if I started a different thread for updating the Input system?

[weak trout]

Is it possible to do a multitap-and-hold interaction with the input system?

[soft basin]

Is it obvious anywhere to see how the input system reacts to events?

I suspect it's not polling on every single frame like we would in the old one?

I've tried looking in the GitHub, but couldn't find a clue

[soft basin]

Is the new Input System built on / part of DOTS?

[frigid ridge]

No. Afaik it's primarily designed for the old GameObject workflow. DOTS integration will likely come later.

[soft basin]

Is Input polled somewhere, or how does the new input system get the event?

Asking about implementation details or how to use it?

Quick start guide is pretty solid for the latter https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.1/manual/QuickStartGuide.html

[soft basin]

implementation details

Sorry I took so long to reply

I know how to use it, but I don't get how the internals works

[tribal rock]

Does the new input system have the ability to trigger events every frame an input is held down?

[valid basin]

using the DefaultInputActions, what's a way to navigate UI using the keyboard arrows?
Is there a built in solution?
or do I have to code it up myself?

[sick cradle]

@valid basin I think the input package has sample for that, just look at the samples on package manager when you select input system package there

like, rebinding ui sample could have that thing

but like with most things on the new input system, they don't really document these things

that sample basically had separate asset that had UI navigation preset for you

[chrome walrus]

@valid basin I think the UI just uses up down left right for checking where to go, you can visualize how the UI would navigate through, there should be an option in the editor to show like little lines for the path.

[valid basin]

oh you're right.
I didn't know that exists

[soft basin]

You can use a bool, something like

class MyObject: MonoBehaviour
{
  bool isDown = false;
  void Awake()
  {
    playerInput.Player.MainAction.started += _ => isDown = true;
    playerInput.Player.MainAction.canceled += _ => isDown = false;
  }

  void Update()
  {
    if (isDown)
      TriggerEvent();
  }
  void TriggerEvent()
  {
     // Code here to trigger event
  }
}

I'm not sure if this is the right or most elegant approach, but it is an approach

[west oracle]

@soft basin they recently added extension methods for InputAction:
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.1/changelog/CHANGELOG.html

InputAction.WasPressedThisFrame(): Whether a bound control has crossed the press threshold this frame.
InputAction.WasReleasedThisFrame(): Whether a bound control has fallen back below the release threshold this frame.
InputAction.WasPerformedThisFrame()```

(to 1.1 preview at least)

How do I implement mouse sensitivity using the new input system? I can't just scale the position/delta because the value is in pixels, so i would lose precision. Is there a way to get a floating point value for the mouse position?

[velvet flame]

Also I tried using processors, but also does not maintain precision. Does anyone have a solution, or do I need to use the old input system?

[lost copper]

@velvet flame did u try * Sensitivity?

[velvet flame]

@lost copper What do you mean?

[lost copper]

like

did u watch brackeys tutorial? he has a good one

lol

[velvet flame]

You mean did I try multiplying the value by a Sensitivity parameter?

[lost copper]

yes

i mean i skimmed it so you might have asked something completely different

[velvet flame]

That's the problem, the new input system returns the mouse position in pixels (integer values). If you multiply by a large sensitivity value, you will be losing precision.

Say the mouse moves 1.3 pixels, the input system would would say it moved 1 pixel. If you have a sensitivity of 50, the value would be 1 * 50 = 50 while the true value should actually be 1.3 * 50 = 65

[chrome walrus]

@velvet flame dont know what you mean by full pixel, I am getting floats with at least one step behind comma in my console log

[valid heart]

Edit: My issue has been solved. I was using onReset() instead of OnReset(). 🤦‍♂️
I'm using the new Input System 1.0.1 and Unity 2019.4.16f1. Yesterday I successfully set up a few actions using Send Messages. However today I followed the same steps to add another action "Reset" but I cannot get the OnReset() method to execute when I press the corresponding key or gamepad button.

[velvet flame]

@tame oracle Are you using the new input system? I can't seem to get this behavior

[jagged wyvern]

when I use the cancelled event on an action it cancels my action right when it gets performed

how can I delay it one frame?

[sacred cairn]

Im trying to put a move right and left buttons. I made a camvas and put 2 ui buttons but they are not showing when i hit play

Is it something to do with the layers?

[pulsar lion]

does anyone know how to change what displays on the fourth screen when there isn't a player active?

it seems to be calling from the last position the second player

but I don't know how to change that default

[hollow dragon]

Im not really expirenced with it but I have an idea even tho there are probably a better way to do it I you can check whether there is a player in the x axis of that part and y axis of that part

[covert heron]

Hello there, I'm constantly getting this error output, and I have no idea how to resolve this

Only pass-through actions should be left in performed state by default interaction

After a brief look into the debug log file, it is sent directly by the input manager

[sly bear]

Am I not getting something or does the new system feel overcomplicated? There are like 20 input types in the editor for an action. And 5 different ways of reading inputs. I'm a code guy. I tried the "exported C# class" route but only got cryptic NullPointers when I tried to enable the mapping in code... Compared to old input or Rewired it feels... I dunno just weird and overengineered to work with. Am I just not getting it?

[jagged wyvern]

its pretty bloated

hoping they rework it soon

[hearty latch]

I just use the old input. Still works great

[west oracle]

@sly bear https://forum.unity.com/threads/best-practices-getting-started-tutorials.875818 I posted a pile of getting-started tutorials with the new inputsystem

[real forum]

Does anyone know a way to avoid pixel skipping in an fps controller?

[random seal]

Does the performed event not trigger for Action Type: Value, Control Type: Axis, with a composite of type 1D Axis?
For example: if the negative/ positive is Delta/X [Mouse]

[real forum]

@random seal I don't understand what you mean?

Should I convert the mouse position into a 1D axis?

[random seal]

@real forum sorry, I was asking a separate question

[real forum]

oh ok lol

It sounded so technical I thought it was an answer

[trim hollow]

if i want to read a vector2 from my mouvement input, should i use Action type Value or Pass throguht ?
i can see that Value will have a better Controller management (if i plan to allow multiple way to control an action) ?

[jagged wyvern]

there's no best way

[lucid fractal]

how can i get button onclicks from physical canvas

i want to detect button clicks from a physical canvas

[trim hollow]

(Using the new Input system) Currently i have a function called Move() which is called in FixedUpdate() to control my rigidbody, in that function i read the value from my mouvement action. Is it the good way to use my Input from move action or i should include that code into the event OnMove() and put all my Move() code inside

here

thx for your help

[tame oracle]

Apparently i'm braindead and cannot figure this out.
I can't seem to find a way to expose any Bindings that are a part of Actions to check if performed?

Is this the intended functionality? If so, if we are basing user input only on a keyboard, are individual keys required to be bound to individual Actions?

[soft steeple]

I am also so confused on this whole binding thing, it let me add a keyboard key once, but now I can't do it again

Going back to the old way I guess

[frigid ridge]

You poll the devices directly in the new system too. You lose most high level advantages of the new input system, but at least you have the new backend I guess 😄

[soft steeple]

This new way is half baked though, at least the UI for it is

[frigid ridge]

Maybe, but you can bypass it and just use it how you probably used the old system

Keyboard.current...

[tame oracle]

In terms of efficiency, any performance improvements with this new Input System over the old input?

[frigid ridge]

Odds are the new system is slower, though you would probably have to compare it to the state you have the old input system once you have all the keybinding and other abstractions that were missing from the old system implemented.

[tame oracle]

Thanks for the info drop Danny.

[jagged wyvern]

I think only the guy who made it does

I love how the presentation that unity had for the new input system they skip going over code saying it would be too boring

[stark stirrup]

Hi guys.. trying to get use to the New input system. Keyboard kb = InputSystem.GetDevice<Keyboard>(); if ( kb.escapeKey.wasPressedThisFrame) { Debug.Log("Closing Window"); foreach (GameObject go in Panels) { go.SetActive(false); } } I can't seem to get this to work.. am i missing something? the debug never fires off.

I have this placed in the Update function

[tranquil ridge]

How does one access the float pressure value from a pen? pen.pressure is of type axiscontrol, and I can't find where you get the actual float value off it

[jagged wyvern]

@tranquil ridge https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@0.2/api/UnityEngine.InputSystem.Pen.html

[tranquil ridge]

i've looked at plenty of documentation, thats why im asking. what is the method on the axis control to read the float value?

[jagged wyvern]

.readvalue

[tranquil ridge]

i've had no luck with that, I thought as much

oh, nvm i know why now. Its related to windows ink, if you disable it then you can't read the value

[gusty herald]

I am using the new input system and I have 2 control schemes. One for mouse & keyboard and one for gamepad.
I want to build a rebind UI menu that lets the player rebind seperately for mouse & keyboard or for gamepad.

I am looking at the documentation (and sample) for rebinding keys, and I found the InputActionRebindingExtensions.RebindingOperation but this feeds only an input action reference and does not say which binding exactly. Can I somehow specify which binding is to be rebound?

Can I specify that the gamepad binding should be rebound?

ah

wait I'm stupid

I can literally feed it in the function

thanks @ sample project

[edgy osprey]

I have a more broader question. Why is the new Input System better than the original? Seems like the most basic things take too much work

And doesn't support the most basic things like buffering inputs for the next fixed update

[jagged wyvern]

it's meant for multiple controllers and different types of input devices

just gotta take a semester to learn it

[edgy osprey]

😆

but that doesn't look like something difficult to implement on the old one

unrelated question: I have a PS5 controller, has anyone made it work with unity? (even without the new features)

[sick cradle]

@edgy osprey have you tried it? I don't think there's direct support yet but new input system may pick it up through HID or steam input api

https://store.steampowered.com/news/group/4145017/view/2924487488167580235

how I read that was that steam input api doesn't actually expose the new trigger FFB but I haven't checked the implementation

(and I don't own PS5 controller)

right now PS3 and PS4 controllers (at least on PC) are picked up as HID devices but they have special implementation, I'm assuming they will do the same for PS5 controller eventually

[silk steeple]

What... is this happenstance. I am getting EXTREMELY long frame times when I wiggle my mouse cursor over my game view, but only if it is focused. This persists whether I have mouse input code, or not.
It seems to snowball over time, only if I move the mouse over the game view, and only if it's on my right screen and I have actually focused it.

The game even reacts to it if the window isn't focused, and is fine.

Whaaa?

[brittle rune]

Hi guys, can someone pls help me with my controller movement?

https://hatebin.com/hthiptcgqv

the player movement works fine with keyboard, but for some reason it doesn't works that well with a controller

[silk steeple]

Wowwwweee.

[elfin ridge]

Anyone know if there is a way in the new input system to allow the keyboard to "take back over" the inputs from the mouse position, when doing something like this?

The issue is that it works correctly with the keyboard inputs, until I move the mouse, and then the keyboard inputs are never used / read again.

[elfin ridge]

Ah, nvm I see why it's happening, since the mouse position value is always huge, it's going to "disambiguate" and use it forever, so if I wanted to make it work as I expect, instead of building custom processors to remap the position to a normalized screen val (-1 to 1), I need to make the input itself return that.

On that note, where would I find info on creating a custom control lol.

[brittle rune]

Guys, I have a question

is it way better the new Input system than the old one?

or it isn't worth it upgrading?

[jagged wyvern]

I created an input action asset

it made a c# file

how do I get wether a gamepad was pressed or a keyboard was pressed

I tried GetBindingDisplayString on the class name of the asset file it created

but it's giving me an error

nvm apparently I had to do _inputactions.player.accept.getbindingdisplaystring

[jagged wyvern]

if I wanted the UI to change depending on what device button is pressed would I have to call a method that does that evertime an input is performed?

or do I make a binding tied to every button that can be pressed?

[jagged wyvern]

I had to do a lot of digging but there's a way to fire an event from input system itself

InputSystem.onActionChange += (obj, change) =>
            {
                if (change == InputActionChange.ActionPerformed)
                {
                    var inputAction = (InputAction)obj;
                    var lastControl = inputAction.activeControl;
                    var lastDevice = lastControl.device;

                    Debug.Log($"device: {lastDevice.displayName}");
                }
            };```

[fossil quarry]

In StandaloneInputModule I want to do something special when the axisEventData.moveDir is triggered and it tries to Execute the moveHandler when eventSystem.currentSelectedGameObject is null. Is there an Event that I can listen and react to?

[glass mason]

How would I add an input text field (like for someone to input their name) in a 3d space?

nvm

[jagged wyvern]

I have this code:

ControllerType TypeofController = lastDevice is Gamepad ? ControllerType.GamePad : ControllerType.Keyboard;
                    Debug.Log($"device is :{TypeofController.ToString()} ");

                    UITextNotificationController.instance.CheckControllerChange(TypeofController);```

but I get an error on the first line

UnityEngine.InputSystem.LowLevel.<>c__DisplayClass7_0:<set_onUpdate>b__0(NativeInputUpdateType, NativeInputEventBuffer*)
UnityEngineInternal.Input.NativeInputSystem:NotifyUpdate(NativeInputUpdateType, IntPtr)

I'm not sure what it means what am I doing wrong

[vivid forge]

i am using the new input system but for some reason the player is not moving to the direction he is facin

i mean if the player is around 40° rotated on y axis it won't move to forward but side ways instea

this is the code-
Vector2 inputvector = Movement.ReadValue<Vector2>();
Vector3 FinalVector = new Vector3();
FinalVector.x = inputvector.x;
FinalVector.z = input vector.y;
controller.Move(FinalVector *Time.deltaTime * Speed);

can anyone help?

[royal quest]

Hello, as you can see in the picture I have a problem with my Character sliding when I move him. I implemented an inputsystem so local multiplayer can work but when i move with it my character begins to slide but if just change the velocity without any of those if statements, my character can run without sliding a bit. Does anyone know why this happens? In short: If i put "theRB.velocity = Vector2.right * moveSpeed;" in the if statement, my character begins to slide but if i do it without those he does not slide

I also posted this in beginner code since i wasnt sure where to post it, sorry if this is not allowed

[blazing atlas]

I'm not sure if this is the problem but you should normalize the vector before assigning it to velocity

[royal quest]

I never did this, how can i do that

Is there a function for this?

Can i just vector2.normalize XD

or do you mean something different

Thanks for your answer btw

[blazing atlas]

like rb.velocity = (moveSpeed * Vector2.right).normalized although in your case there's probably a different issue

you would probably better off following something like this to implement the input system https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78PLsHnRXiE

[royal quest]

Alright thank you

[digital narwhal]

I have Action Run and Sprint, both are bound to Left Shift. Sprint however has a Multi tap interaction. When I go in game, and I just hold down shift...it triggers Run and then Sprint shortly after. It doesn't matter what the Tap Count is set to, the outcome is always the same.

How can I achieve pressing shift, triggering only run, and then if I let go and press it again immediately, sprint will be initiated?

[neon iris]

A timer on shift up

[carmine thicket]

How do I do a press and hold with the new input system?
Current input system (ignore the DPAD):

Current code for OnFire:

public void OnFire(InputValue inputValue)
    {
        Debug.Log("Fire command successful!");
        GameObject tempBullet = Instantiate(BulletPrefab, transform.position, transform.rotation);
        tempBullet.tag = "Player";
        tempBullet.GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().velocity = tempBullet.transform.right * 5;
    }

[carmine thicket]

nvm Use pass through

[lethal lotus]

Please guys am using OnPointerDown and Up to detect touches in My game..i use it look around i.e to rotate the camera around....the script works perfect in the EDITOR but on Real Mobile...it just rotates in one axis (left or -x axis)
I followed a tutorial from YouTube nd it works fine there

[onyx linden]

can u send the code instead of a photo, it makes it easier to see and read

[ember dagger]

Hey everyone!

[ember dagger]

Pss through as button ?

[crimson elm]

um guys

https://gfycat.com/definitebaggyharvestmouse

the blend tree animations are working as intended

but the actual ones are broken?

movement script from brackey's third person

ok nvm i forgot to loop them

[waxen canopy]

I don't suppose anyone knows what I'm doing wrong here? csharp controls.PlayerControls.Fire.performed += ctx => inputFire = true; controls.PlayerControls.Fire.canceled += ctx => inputFire = false;

the trouble is once the button is pressed inputfire always remains true

[waxen canopy]

neh mind, solved, it seems to be something to do with setting the Pass Through option, not sure why, edit: I now know why pass through does not work with cancelled

[full forge]

how do you like the new input system?

in term of easy of use

[bitter talon]

Is there a smarter way to disable any keydown press/input than just having a boolean that's required for any keydown location in script? Like I have essentially

{
//Walk Left
}
if ((Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.A))
{
//Walk Right
DoThing.GetComponent<Animator>().SetTrigger("AnimationTrigger");
}```


I want to disable the inputs, do I just need to do && some bool/disable stuff? I can't imagine a coroutine would work right since some of these inputs are in different classes/scripts. (Sorry this is probably a basic question)

[atomic meteor]

is there anything on the roadmap for full desktop controller haptics support? the docs claim that the Input System supports PS4 controller haptics on macOS, but not Xbox. the thing is, PS4 haptics actually don't work, so im kinda wondering what's up and if it'll be ready any time soon

[static walrus]

@full forge it's a bit awkward, especially at start. if you're just using 1 control method and not thinking about rebinding, old system is better

[full forge]

it starts paying off if i'm supporting multiple types of controllers?

[static walrus]

i honestly can't imagine doing that without NIS

[full forge]

I started testing it with the simple examples of the packages, I'm liking it a lot but on Switch one project works while the main one doesn't

what's NIS?

[static walrus]

new input system

[full forge]

cool

a bit of a black box, how would you find out what devices it is detecting, in a build?

[static walrus]

there's a debugger for that, lemme see where it was..

[full forge]

thanks

[static walrus]

Window > Analysis > Input Debugger

[full forge]

and for a build?

a console build

[static walrus]

no idea

i doubt you'd need it though

[full forge]

i do need it

[static walrus]

for what

[full forge]

the joycon isn't beeing detected in one project

the other works fine
