It still not work:

        bool _ButtonPressed = _controls.Player.Movement.ReadValue<float>() != 0;
        Debug.Log("Update Inhalt: " + _ButtonPressed);

        if (_ButtonPressed == true)
        {
            Debug.Log("rightclick-zoom ON!!");
        }
        if (_ButtonPressed == false)
        {
            Debug.Log("rightclick-zoom Off...");
        }
austere grotto
#

it says false every frame?

#

or what

cursive tulip
#

"rightlick-zoom Off... is looping infinity without a single console notification with a true (no matter if I press rightclick multiple times or hold it )

austere grotto
#

Aren't you using the wrong action?

#

shouldn't that _controls.Player.CameraZoom?

cursive tulip
#

oh...

cursive tulip
#

VERY VERY THANK YOU!

mighty ivy
#

ah, i only get that data from UnityEvents it seems

#

sorry , maybe not

#

so it sends the whole PlayerInput with the message?

austere grotto
#

When you use PlayerInputManager it Instantiates a prefab for you for each player, right?

mighty ivy
#

i'm not using playerinputmanager

austere grotto
#

I thought you were from this comment

mighty ivy
#

yeah sorry, so further to that, i'm not currently using it due to that

austere grotto
#

due to what

mighty ivy
#

it not working how i think i need it to?

#

like it seems pre-written for most scenarios

#

but that i may need my own

austere grotto
#

The way you are suppsoied to use it is this:
PlayerInputManager instantiaes a prefab for a new player that joins

#

that prefab has a PlayerInput component on it

#

the PLayerInput component has the playerIndex

#

but also - you don't need the playerIndex 99% of the time

#

each PlayerInput has its own InputActionAsset and so handles its own input

#

so pressing a button on player 2's controller only will trigger an event for player 2's PlayerInput

mighty ivy
#

okay, perhaps my problem isnt what it does then, perhaps its what i've done with rewired

#

i used the unity UNET lobby tutorial and built a lobby around that

#

it picks up a rewired join event from a player and then creates the lobby prefab

austere grotto
#

online multiplayer vs local multiplayer

#

the player index is a local multiplayer thing

mighty ivy
#

its not though, its both

#

🙂

#

but yeah online is a part of it

austere grotto
#

UNet will have its own concept of a client index or whatever

#

that's separate

mighty ivy
#

i currently can have local players and remote players join my lobby

austere grotto
#

ok

mighty ivy
#

i'm quite n00bish so i got everything working from examples really

#

so i was hoping just be able to receive events from like a repository then i can replace what i have

#

SendMessage does seem to send the data perhaps: SendMessage(messageName, m_InputValueObject, SendMessageOptions.DontRequireReceiver);

deep oxide
#

I did that now. Seems to work. Do I have to make a script and link it to the map ?

mighty ivy
#

so i can receive the data like this: void OnJoinGame(object inputObject)
{

#

i can see in the debugger the values

#

i cant receive it using OnJoinGame(PlayerInput inputObject) though, even though thats what its sending

mighty ivy
#

okay so latching to PlayerInput isnt the way

#

i guess what i'm looking to do, is hook onto the Generated InputManager.cs class callbacks, in the same way the playerinputmanager does

deep oxide
#

Could someone explain me, how this player movement works ? I dont really understand the new system yet. The code works though

wary tartan
#

hello! input system noob speaking, sorry to change the subject. looking to control multiple characters at once with the same keys i.e. you press right and all your characters move right. simply duplicating a working player object results in only one that moves.

wary tartan
#

if the PlayerInput component has its "Behaviour" property set to "Send Messages," it looks for any scripts that have appropriately named methods and activates them. in this case, you have actions called "Move" and "Jump." so, when you press the buttons associated with the Move and Jump actions, it activates methods called OnMove(InputValue [name]) and OnJump(InputValue [name]) respectively.

#

i was confused early on because it seemed like nothing was calling the methods but they magically worked. nope, the PlayerInput component is calling the methods! it automatically locates methods for an input action called "Action" if the methods are titled OnAction() and have one parameter of type InputValue

ripe turtle
#

I have a single rigid body attached to multiple colliders, I want to react to the player clicking on each of the colliders differently, obviously the onMouseDown event was called because the game knows that one of the colliders was clicked, is there a way to access that information from inside the onMouseDown function?

austere grotto
#

(put the colliders on separate child objects of the RB)

ripe turtle
#

I've already done that, the parent is eating the event

austere grotto
#

The scripts on the child objects won't get the event?

#

You can also use IPointerEnterHandler instead

#

which will give you more data

#

and implement this method:

void OnPointerEnter(PointerEventData eventData)```
#

and you might find the data you want in eventData

ripe turtle
#

I can't seem to get that event to trigger. is it version dependant?

austere grotto
#

no

#

You need an Event System in the scene and you need a Physics Raycaster on your camera

ripe turtle
#

Okay with that it seems to be working the way I want it to, don't even need to look into the event data, it seems to be calling it on the collider objects instead of the rigid body object. (Why doesn't onmousedown just work that way?)
Thanks for the help

austere grotto
#

OnMouseDown is just... not great

dense ridge
#

I'm making a co-op game and 2 of my players preset keybinds use gamepad will it connect to the same one

#

gamepad

deep oxide
#

I mean whats that:

#

CharacterController characterController;

#

I never told the Player Input component about the script

#

Oh, so the InputValue is a set thing ? I just called it value. I have another Vector3 moveVector that during OnMove is taking that value.x and value.y part.

crimson jacinth
#

Is there a simple way I can find out what Device is currently being used?

crimson jacinth
#

I'm currently working with Actions and have delegates on performed and canceled. How can I detect things like GetButtonDown and GetButtonUp this way?

austere grotto
#

canceled == GetButtonUp

crimson jacinth
#

Thanks!

austere grotto
#

Just to be clear - what I mean by that is you would replace this: cs void Update() { if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump")) { // do some stuff. } }
with this:

void OnJumpStarted(InputAction.CallbackContext context) {
    // do some stuff
}```

I am so annoyed by the way input system lacks documentation and proper tutorials if anything. Are we supposed to migrate our code to this new input system or just stick with the old one? I have hard time making stuff work with the new system. Is there some in depth tutorial that properly explains things? I was looking to have both mouse and touch screen controls but to use the new input system.

I'm using the Input System package, and have bound an action to the pointer scrolling. But on trackpads, performed is called many times, so my counters go way off. Is there a way to detect a single scroll gesture?

I have a general input question

#

I want an action to happen when the player holds a button down and fires their weapon. i can't get the action to happen while holding z and click the mouse button to shoot, it make the gun just shoot but if i was to make the player press two buttons at once like z & x then i can get the action to work

static walrus
#

@uneven mulch bool X is shooting; if(bool X is shooting){ action Z } else {action Y}
it wasn't a general input question but general programming question

uneven mulch
#

thats the basic of that?

#

just a left mouse click fires weapon but holding z and left mouse click does another action instead of firing the gun

#

like throwing the gun instead of shooting it

#

one sec ill get my code

static walrus
#

yeah pretty much that. it's pretty similar in both but i recommend getting into the new system just to save yourself some trouble down the line

#

``

#

not ''

#

jesus christ just pm that

uneven mulch
#

shit my bad havent got the hang of posting code

static walrus
#

yeah you just check if the other one is active or not

#

e.g. you have gun in left hand and right hand, both shoot their own thing but combine into 3rd type..

#

then you do something like leftgunkeydown { if(alsoholdingother){ do combo} else { shoot normally } }

#

that is assuming you always have those 2 "weapons". it might get complicated pretty fast otherwise

uneven mulch

#

is there a way to make lasting changes to a specific script in the input system without moving the package to assets?

#

I need to force the playerinput for a single object to treat the game as singleplayer even though its multiplayer. Know exactly what to do in code and how to handle all the effects in the other scripts, but the package system resets all my changes, and If I move the package to assets all script references on objects break

#

which is a mess

If I was using the ESC key to open a menu, would I have the ESC key as button to switch the Actionmap on the Player ActionMap and the UI/Menu ActionMap as well or on a seperate Master ActionMap?

Hello input system community. Is there any newer tuts on the new input system? haven't found anything so far that's helping m,e to wrap my head around it. I have a somewhat idea of it.

i wanted to limit the character length of my inputfield to 4 ,
so i used inputfield.characterLimit ,
Used it as Answer.characterLimit = 4 ;
but still i am able to write more then 4 character ,
am i missing something ?

#

Should the output of Mouse.current.position.ReadValue() be independent of the size of the game window within the Unity Editor? Because it is not for me

#

In both screenshots my mouse is (roughly) located in the lower left corner of the game window. But that should not result in a y-value of -200 when the game window is small, or should it?

game-view-large.png
#

Very interesting. It seems that when I resize the game window, it changes the actual point on the cursor image of my system. When it set it to the max. possible size, the returned point will be where you expect it on the cursor image (top-left). When I make the window smaller, the point will travel downwards so that on the smallest window size, it will be on the bottom of the cursor image (bottom-left). That explains the -200px discrepancy. Anybody ever experienced this? I am on Ubuntu 20.04

#

I'm wondering, is there any way to access Mouse Events not using Input Actions ? I need mouseDown, mouseUp, mouseMove events basically as for the TouchScreen we have EnchancedTouch.Touch.onFingerDown, Up, and Move
I've seen that we can get position with Mouse.current.position.ReadValue(); but I don't see any event function that triggers when we click 😦

#

So I'm trying to add a vector 3 composite binding, and while I could write a custom composite i see that in the 1.1 version of the input system there is already a vector 3 composite.

My project is simply for learning so I don't mind possibly buggy betas, is it possible to install the 1.1 prerelease of the input system somehow?

odd cosmos
#

so idk why it wasnt showing up in my package manager list, maybe because it thinks the old recommended version is an update?

unknown.png
#

but i managed to add the beta by typing the version from the wiki manually

#

Hey guys, is there a way to get Action input key as string in code? For example I have Action called "Sprint" and I want to get only an Input Key String (Left Shift) with code

unknown.png
slate jetty
#

Not sure if that's what you want though.

small pier
#

no no, I mean I want to get mapped button to action via code so for example I'd to call a function or something in code for get Sprint Action key for example: getActionInput("Sprint") and it would return a "Left Shift" as in input window

austere grotto
#

Embrace the new system instead.

#

My recommendation is to use InputActionReference:

[SerializeField]
InputActionReference sprintAction;

void Update() {
  bool currentlySprinting = sprintAction.action.ReadValue<float>() != 0;
}
#

^ Then assign your sprint action to that field in the inspector

odd cosmos
#

so my old hard coded input system used this, I'm currently trying to move the system over to the new input system... but i'm not sure how

unknown.png
#

it locked your mouse if you held right click, and you could look around, but with rebind-able keys i wanted to support a controller i.e i press a controller button and then an assigned joystick moves the view

#

but how do i keep the "hold key to look around" thing, and specifically the cursor lock state

#

i need to like.. only lock the cursor to the game if the axis is bound to mouse delta

#

if the axis is rebound to a controller axis i dont want it to lock the cursor.. but i'm not sure how on earth i'd do that

#

is there some way to lock the mouse cursor in the input system? can i maybe get the name of the device mapped to an axis, and if that device is a mouse then do the cursorlock?

``` and here is my current wip new system
austere grotto
odd cosmos
#

i.e tell if the axis is bound to a mouse, so i can only lock the cursor if the mouse is assigned to the axis

austere grotto
#

I'm not sure what the point of that would be but

#

You can just do 1:1 translations form the old code if you want instead of using InputActions

#

if (Input.GetMouseButton(1)) -> if (Mouse.current.rightButton.isPressed)

odd cosmos
#

the point is, now that my inputs are rebindable, if i / the user rebinds the look from the mouse to a joystick controller for example, i dont want the mouse to be locked

austere grotto
#

So yes you can see which input controls are used for an input action

odd cosmos
#

how would i get if the device is a mouse? would i have to get the string path and do some string comparison for like "/mouse/"

austere grotto
#

e.g.

if (myInputAction.activeControl is Mouse) {

}```
#

not sure if there's a way that doesn't involve type checking

odd cosmos
#

rooThink type checking is fine

odd cosmos
#

activeControl appears to only work when my mouse is moving

I'm trying to use get the input value of 1-4 from the input system, this solution works but its retrieving the exact value of the hotkey pressed. How would I make it fetch the scale of the input action?

# 
            int numKeyValue;
            int.TryParse(value.control.name, out numKeyValue);
            Debug.Log(numKeyValue);
        }```
#

Another question,how does the call back function in the new input system work? Is it being called every frame if the player spams a bunch of keys as if it were the old input system? Can they potentially break the game if they were to spam a bunch of keys?

odd cosmos
# 
if (IM.Game.Move.IsPressed()) cmd.Movement = IM.Game.Move.ReadValue<Vector3>();

can i not use IsPressed for axis's?

#

do i have to do ReadValue<Vector3>() != new Vector3()?

austere grotto
#

Not Vector2?

#

And no you can't really do isPressed for an axis- you generally would do ReadValue

odd cosmos
#

my player has a "flying mode"

#

so i'm using vector 3 with up and down

austere grotto
#

interesting

odd cosmos
#

is there an IsPressed for buttons? rooThink

#

or like.. "held"

austere grotto
#

yes

#

but it's discouraged to use that

#

as you should use the input actions

odd cosmos
#

yeah i mean is my input action held

austere grotto
#

If you want to know if it's currently held you either do ReadValue or you listen to the started and canceled events to set your own bool

odd cosmos
#

i'm using polling instead of events because i'm doing server authoritative movement in multiplayer and need a fixed polling rate for reconciliation

austere grotto
#

then you do readvalue

#

if (myAction.ReadValue<Vector3>().sqrMagnitude > 0)

odd cosmos
#

thanks, are buttons not bools?

austere grotto
#

nope

#

float

odd cosmos
#

thanks again <3

marsh fractal
#

Is it best practice to have a script solely as an InputManager for the player? And if so, what's the preferred method for forwarding the input action to the appropriate player script? Delegates perhaps?

austere grotto
#

but yes a separate script and the use of delegates is perfectly valid

#

that being said - the new input system largely bypasses the need for a script that has its own input delegates

#

as you can directly subscribe to the C# events on an InputActionReference for example

marsh fractal
#

Alright, the second part I'm not sure I understand though. Currently Player Input is invoking Unity Events. If I use C# events I can just subscribe to let's say Interact directly in the Interacting script?

#

With no middle man?

austere grotto
#

Just use a InputActionReference interactAction;

#

with [SerializeField] of course

#

and you can hook up to your input action directly, with no middleman

marsh fractal
#

Okay, brain is loading... But I still use an Input Action asset?

austere grotto
#

Yes

#

this will reference an InputAction that is defined in the InputActionsAsset

marsh fractal
#

Alright, I'll try to wrap my head around it. Thanks a bunch! You're always extremely helpful ^_^

#

Quick question: How do I read a value off of said action?

I only get the error message when i press left shift doe

vestal latch
#

Leftshift indeed, and it cant read an XY (Vector2) from leftshift. It can only read a float.

ashen pagoda
vestal latch
#

Yep

ashen pagoda
#

Yeah, why do i get error then

vestal latch
#

Because you're trying to read an XY from the shift key, and the shift key can only read a float.

ashen pagoda
#

OK, and how do i make it a float instead of am vector then?

vestal latch
#

When you call ReadValue dont use Vector2 as a generic parameter, use float instead.

ashen pagoda
#

I don't readvalue i do this

vestal latch
#

Something is. Can you read the entire callstack from your error, see how it happens

@austere grotto Just to be clear, with InputActionReference I need to check for inputs in Update(), right? Or can I get an event?

round stratus
#

How can you change keys in the input manager with code? I want to make a menu where the player can select what action is performed with what key

sudden trail
#

Is there a way to check which controlscheme is being used?

#

I would like to set controller sensitivity to be different from mouse sensitivity so I can adjust them independently

mental zenith
#

OKAY, so I have finally, after weeks of fighting, managed to get a menu working in multiplayer without using th multiplayereventsystem solution

#

with autoswitching between controllers

#

GOD it feels good

vocal ruin
#

Yes I would like to preview this Character Controller, but I am unfamiliar with the process to go from GIT -> Unity

#

I do not use GIT, myself

#

I cant seem to be able to find it as a package version

spark pumice
#

that repo doesn't look like it is set up for import via the Unity Package Manager, so that's not a simple option

#

or you could download git (or github desktop or some other front-end for git) and fork and/or clone the repo

sudden trail
#

Has anyone figured out a way to adjust controller look sensitivity and mouse look sensitivity separately? Should I make two input maps and scripts for each?

crimson jacinth
#

Is it recommended to use the Player Input component for managing input or rather writing own scripts?

crimson jacinth
sudden trail

#

Unfortunately I haven’t worked a lot with switching control schemes yet. I think it is what you’re looking for though

sudden trail
#

yeah no worries, I might just use the old input system for now until I figure out how to do the same thing on the new system - or better yet Ill just lock it to one control scheme

crimson jacinth
#

Yeah it takes a lot of time to get into the new one. Hopefully it’s worth it in the long term

#

How do I toggle using the new input system? I tried using context.started and cancelled but it’s somehow glitchy

hey guys. im reading the axis of a xbox controller. the Right Trigger to be specific. But it seems im doing something wrong. Letting the trigger go never results in a value of 0. If i press him fast, it is sometimes over 0.5. Action type is set to Value and Control Type to Axis.

    {
        if (context.performed)
            engineThrust = context.ReadValue<float>();
    }```

What do I wrong?
I want to take the mouse position input for my look around camera...
I tried 2 things and both ways of them was not responding and have no errors in VS or Unity...
Why can I not look around because it worked well with the old input system:

// This was my first try that also had no responce in the game
        Vector2 targetMouseDelta = _controls2.Player.Camera_Movement.ReadValue<Vector2>();

// This was my second try that also had no responce in the game
        Vector2 A = _controls2.Player.Camera_Movement.ReadValue<Vector2>();
        Vector2 targetMouseDelta = new Vector2(A.x, A.y);
#

that was my line of code that worked well with the old input system for this...:

Vector2 targetMouseDelta = new Vector2(Input.GetAxis("Mouse X"), Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y"));
austere grotto
cursive tulip
#

and where should this be ?

#

@austere grotto

#

I thought I already made this in line:
"48", "51", "65", "69" and the final line: "141"

austere grotto
#

You need to enable it

#

Oh you are

#

In OnEnable

cursive tulip
#

do you mean I should put the "OnEnable" and "OnDisable" fuctions over the "Awake" ?

austere grotto
#

Don't use a 2d Vector composite for mouse Input

#

Just add a simple binding for mouse delta

#

Value/Vector2

cursive tulip
#

no clue waht you mean now

#

inside the editor or the script, no idea....

#

@austere grotto

austere grotto
austere grotto
#

Delete that binding

#

Set the action to value/Vector2

#

And add a simple binding for mouse Delta

cursive tulip
#

Should this stay?

Vector2 targetMouseDelta = _controls2.Player.Camera_Movement.ReadValue<Vector2>();
#

@austere grotto

#

now the mouse is responding but she is super fast

austere grotto
cursive tulip
#

ok very thank you.

austere grotto
#

Working ok now?

cursive tulip
#

for the mouse, yes.

cursive tulip
# austere grotto Working ok now?

do you also know how to check this only if the button is down once ?
Like the good old "KeyCode.GetButtonDown"

        bool _ButtonPressed = _controls.Player.ESC_returnButton.ReadValue<float>() != 0;

        if (_ButtonPressed)
        {
austere grotto
olive loom
#

Are there any simple documentations on converting from the old to new input system? All i need is a global one, none of that fancy per-case one

cursive tulip
#

"Esc_returnButton" does not exist in the current context, if I replace this intp the if statement

austere grotto
#

bool _ButtonPressed = _controls.Player.ESC_returnButton.phase == InputActionPhase.Started;

The part inside the if statement is still running every frame?

yes like before

austere grotto
#

Print out the current phase each frame?

#

I find it hard to believe it would be started every frame 🤔

#

Can you show more of the code?

cursive tulip
#

the thing is that "if (_ButtonPressed)" is executing every frame while the button is still pressed

austere grotto
#

Yes which will happen if the current phase every frame is 'Started' which seems not possible to me

#

I think something else is up with the rest of the code

cursive tulip
# austere grotto Yes which will happen if the current phase every frame is 'Started' which seems ...

How is that action set up

wait there is a second fuction under it

hey guys so I have a problem.. Im curently trying to create local multiplayer.. and I used the Player Input Manager that come with the asset package. I mean this prebuild script is really only here to instantiate a new player when a new input device has clicked a button right? well its working with my kbm but not with my controller.. I already checked if the problem was my controller but it cant be because its showing everything correctly in the input debbuger... did anyone have the same issue and can help me?

how do i have a function trigger if any input is triggered

he does skip a little bit but It seems like he's using the PlayerInput component in "Send Messages" mode

#

which is the missing bit

#

Anyway that part's not really important to the tutorial - it's just a simple button input

#

you can do that bit however you like

jaunty steppe
#

well im trying to do it like hes doing it, because in other tutorials, for a simple button press, you have to assign the input action first using multiple lines, but hes doing it by just putting "InputValue value" in the parameter field, which seems more convenient

#

i think i see what you mean though

austere grotto
jaunty steppe
# austere grotto yep you can do this if you use the PlayerInput component

well thats the part im doing wrong then. My code looks exactly like his when he shows the box appearing and disapearing. I have

    {
        showConsole = !showConsole;
        print("functioning");
    }```
and then it prints nothing.  The playerInput component and the script are on the same object.  my action setup looks just like his too

If you assign key mappings using the Input UI do you have to use Invoke Unity Events and not Invoke C# Events? Following the quick start guide and API I can't figure out how to reference the action names. Neither of these methods work for me:

public InputAction Forward;
public InputActionMap gameplayActions;
void Awake() {
  Forward.performed += _ => Move(_);
  gameplayActions["Forward"].performed += _ => Move(_);
}
#

In the InputUI I named the action "Forward"

austere grotto
jaunty steppe
austere grotto
#

If oyu're using the PlayerInput component, you don't reference that stuff at all in your script

#

you just write the callback functions

wide ridge
#

Ah kk so it should be

Public PlayerInput playerInput
void OnForward(ctx) {}
austere grotto
#

it just needs to be attached to the same GameObject and be configured appropriately

wide ridge
#

So does it auto add the "on" part to the reference?

austere grotto
#

yes

#

PlayerInput needs to be in "Send Messages" mode

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

Any Ideas?

ebon escarp
#

how is it possible not to reset the Vector2 of a controller stick when input was stopped

timber robin
#

Cache the input into a variable which only updates if the magnitude of the input Vector2 is greater than 0.

#

And use that cached Vector2 for the movement.

austere grotto
#

You may need a concept of a minimum magnitude threshold, so you know to only remember the last input if the stick was pushed at least halfway or some threshold like that

ebon escarp
#

ye got it thanks

wide ridge
austere grotto
wide ridge
#

Ah, that makes more sense thanks.

#

Should be added to the API get started guide

gentle mango
#

how would i send a inputs context though a rpc since if i send the actual context mirror complains that it docent know what the unity input system is

#

like should i break the callback context into vectors and strings so mirrors rpc script recognizes it

wide ridge
#

Is it okay to do input like this? (Invoke C# events). I read that if statements should be avoided when possible. (The code works)
Simplified version:

austere grotto
#

If the code works, then it's ok

#

unless or until you run into some problem with it

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

languid robin
#

This seems like a stupid question, but how do you make a UI that automatically updates for the new Input system? E.g. "Press [A] to Continue". I was sure there was going to be an asset for it, but nope..

austere grotto
languid robin
#

There's not a asset you'd recommend for it? Literally every game I've played has this feature, I'd be surprised if they're all implementing it from scratch

austere grotto
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

it's pretty easy to do

languid robin
#

No, it isn't. You really need a good collection of images to make it work

austere grotto
#

so are we talking about images or are we talking about detecting which button it is? Once you know which button, you show the image.

#

knowing which button is easy

#

showing an image for a specific button is easy

#

the rest is art

languid robin
#

Man, I don't disagree with you, I just am substantially lazier than you give me credit for

austere grotto
#

I'm not aware of any assets but maybe they exist

#

that's a different input system than Unity's input system obviously

#

not sure if they give you the images too

languid robin
#

Ah, the Unity package comes with an "In-Game Hints" asset that demonstrates the first part

#

I'm trying to get mouse movement as a 2D vector through an InputAction in my MonoBehaviour

I am reading the values like so in Update:

austere grotto
delicate snow
#

ok

austere grotto
#

and they come from an InputActionAsset

delicate snow
#

yeah, I am familiar that there is that other way

austere grotto
#

that being said - have you enabled the InputAction?

delicate snow
#

yes, and check this out

delicate snow
austere grotto
#

use Value/Vector2

austere grotto
delicate snow
#

OH

#

lmao

#

I forgot that!!!

#

had it for wasd

#

let me see...

#

YES

#

hahahaha

#

that was it

#

thanks 😄

#

I will probably switch over to the InputActionAsset method

#

I just saw this new method with InputAction inside the script and wanted to give it a whirl

languid robin
# austere grotto so are we talking about images or are we talking about detecting which button it...

FYI I spent the rest of the evening looking into this. It's not at all obvious. Ignoring features like modifiers and interactions, you still end up with the problem that your input binding is for <Gamepad>/buttonSouth (too generic), and the actual control reported is <XInputControllerWindow>/buttonSouth (will vary by platform).
It seems you have to do InputControlPath.Matches("<XInputController>/buttonSouth", control.path) to determine any control that comes from an XBox controller (i.e. appropriate to show a green A)

When you implement an Interface you must provide an implementation for all the methods in the interface

Seems like it. Apparently I have to add all functions that the game input uses

Will take note of that next time. Thanks

That explains why I'm also seeing empty methods in the Open Projects InputReader script

Hi guys, I need help with an issue in my game.

What is you guys favourite way of knowing which action triggered an input event?

In this case i have a button that can be pressed with both the left and right trigger buttons, i'd like to distinguish which one it was in the event listener. Is there a neater way than this?

unknown.png
#

Comparing the name is a bit ucky, and slow.

Comparing the button with Gamepad.current.LeftTrigger is something i'd consider, but that means no support for non-gamepad.

#

Using this now, think thats ok. Bit hard to understand perhaps

unknown.png
austere grotto
#

you could of course call a third, common method from each listener with any shared behavior they have

Is it possible to use Input Actions with TouchScreen without knowing how much fingers will be touching the screen ? I only see specific fingers inputs (i.e. "Primary Touch"), not any generic one

chrome walrus
#

I think you can just use standard mouse down too, which will act as the recent recognized touch too.

slate jetty
#

I've already used Mouse inputs for another Action Map and I want them to work simultaneously 😦

chrome walrus
#

You can bind as much to it as youw ant, dont you?

slate jetty
#

Yeah but I still need informations like how many fingers are touching the screen

#

So mouse might not give me that info ?

chrome walrus
#

its right there 😉

#

touches 🙂

slate jetty
#

But which binding should I chose ?

#

Here I can only chose "primary touch" for example and I won't get info on the other fingers

unknown.png
chrome walrus
#

Not sure you need that in your input system at all tbh. What do you need from it? only count of touches or position and so on too?

slate jetty
#

Position of every finger at any moment actually

#

I've already implemented a version of this with InputSystem.EnhancedTouch and it's working great, but I was wondering how to do with Input Actions

#

(and if it was even possible)

chrome walrus
slate jetty
#

well that's what I was thinking

chrome walrus
#

I guess its not made out of the box for multitouch yet, which is weird 😄

slate jetty
#

Yeah, few things to improve there. But at least I made it with the new input system using Enhanced Touch

chrome walrus
#

EnhancedTouch.Touch Class might be the thing that helps there

#

oh yeah 😄

#

You wrote it already, guess thats the way for now 🙂

slate jetty
#

I can just get EnhancedTouch.Touch.onFingerDown / Up / Move

#

And do things on these events

chrome walrus
#

For simple things, i think its fine the editor inspector, but for complex stuff, just stick to code 😄

slate jetty
#

InputActions allow me to do that for PrimaryTouch with .performed

#

But not for all fingers

#

Thanks for your time!

You are welcome, even if you fixed it yourself 😄

Should I only be creating one instance of the c# class that is generated by Unity from the Input asset or can I just create a new instance of the generated class in every script that needs to read an input action?

#

the heck was that reaction lol...

chrome walrus
#

@fluid pine You should call the same instance, as you otherwise have to enable every instance you are generating of it, at least thats what I do.

Hello guys, I think I found a bug in Unity's Input Action Callbacks, which causes me a few problems. I've actually already posted a detailed description of this around a month ago, but apparently noone had an idea what to do, so I hoped someone over here could help me out.
Here's the link: https://answers.unity.com/questions/1837395/input-system-input-action-started-callback-doesnt.html

Input System: Input Action "started" Callback doesn't work properly...

Unity is the ultimate game development platform. Use Unity to build high-quality 3D and 2D games, deploy them across mobile, desktop, VR/AR, consoles or the Web, and connect with loyal and enthusiastic players and customers.

#

In short: Depending on the type button which is being physically pressed, the "started" callback doesn't always fire at the same time the "performed" callback starts being called.
So I can basically "hold the button down without ever starting to press it", if that paraphrase makes any sense. I don't think this is supposed to happen.

#

I attached an exemplary script on my Unity Answers question, if that helps

austere grotto
#

I looked at it

#

that's why I said what I said

unique trench
#

Oh, you mean, which button I mapped to the Crouch Action? That was the left trigger of an XBOX 360 gamepad

austere grotto
#

That's part of what I mean

#

but I'm really looking for screenshots of how you have configured the InputAction

unique trench
#

Okay, hold on, I'm making a few screenshopts

austere grotto
#

For example

unique trench
austere grotto
#

ok thank you

#

now just to be sure - how have you determined that started isn't running? just from your debugs?

#

What if you put a Debug.Logdirectly in the callback function for started instead of in Update?

# 
_input.ActionMap.Crouch.started += ctx => {
  Debug.Log("Started called!");
  _inputCrouchStart = ctx.ReadValueAsButton();
};```
unique trench
#

I'll try, one sec

#

Huh, it IS being called... I... okay, so that weird

#

No Debug Log in Update though.... Interesting

#

If I Debug.Log the value of _inputCrouchStart right after setting it to ctx.ReadValueAsButton() in the callback, it returns false, for some reason

austere grotto
unique trench
#

Let me put a log in canceld, too

#

Nope, doesn't seem like it. Like I said, I find it weird that _inputCrouchStart is already false within the started callback

austere grotto
austere grotto
# unique trench

have you tried setting a custom press point for the left trigger here?

unique trench
#

afaik I didn't meddle with the default setting, I'll check

austere grotto
unique trench
#

Nope... No Interactions have been added

austere grotto
#

maybe make that .01 or something

#

I think the default is .5

unique trench
#

I'll try

austere grotto
#

so like - if you start pressing your trigger and you haven't made it to the halfway point in the first frame of pressing it, it won't return true for GetValueAsButton

austere grotto
# unique trench I'll try

Another alternative is just switch from GetValueAsButton to:

_input.ActionMap.Crouch.started += ctx => _inputCrouchStart = ctx.ReadValue<float>() != 0;```
#

or just
_input.ActionMap.Crouch.started += ctx => _inputCrouchStart = true;

unique trench

Ah, yeah, that's it!! You're a godsend!

Hi ! I think that I'm losing my mind with the new Input System

I have 2 scenes that have on the EventSystem a PlayerInput comp, and an Input System UI Input Module comp
They both have my own Input Action Asset plugged (With 2 maps ; Player and UI, where UI is the same as the DefaultInputActions).

Scenes :

  • MainMenu : Only UI for menus
  • GameDev : Where's the gameplay, with UI

The UI of the Input System works well on the MainMenu, but when I switch to GameDev (loading it), the UI doesn't work anymore. I have to go to the Input System UI Input Module, set the Actions Asset to None, then back to the good one to make it work. The second thing that I can do, is disable / enable the EventSystem GO. And I have no idea w h y

The only thing that differs is the Current Pointer ID & Index which are at 0 & 2 in MainMenu but -1 & -1 in GameDev. Also, the cameras in the 2 scenes aren't the same

I went on every forums talking about Input System's UI, but couldn't find anything that worked, any clues here ? Would save my day T_T

#

Here's the setup

unknown.png

#

PS : I think that it comes from the Owns Enabled State which should be set to true, but when loading the scene it seems to not go through the OnEnable() func

How can I know the current device information ?
I don't use PlayerInput Component. I'm using it as a Generate C# Class method.
More precisely, "most recently used". device

In fact, i found the same problem as this forum thread.
https://forum.unity.com/threads/detect-most-recent-input-device-type.753206/#post-7234043
It's been a very long time since this thread was discussed, but i haven't had a clear answer.

The latest solution of 'NiblleByte3' seems to be close to the answer.
Does anyone currently know any other information about this issue?
Is it correct that there is no API that can get the most recently used device information like "InputAction.currentDevice.."?

Unity Forum
Detect most recent input device/type?

I'm trying to integrate/switchto the new input system and I'm stuck at the following issue.

My game supports gamepad, as well as mouse and keyboard...

For some reason, the mouse delta is sometimes inverted. Has anyone else had this?

#

So I have a problem with the new input system that a script that's on a gameobject is still active after I change scenes and if I delete or disable the gameobject before changing scenes it'll spit out a MissingReferenceException when I use inputs that the script listens to

#

even if I disable the script itself it still spits out MissingReferenceException

hidden laurel
#

Are you disabling the InputActions that gameobject uses in its OnDisable method?

vast wren
#

I didn't know that was a thing

#

it worked

#

thank's a lot

hidden laurel
#

Generally whatever you're doing in OnEnable you should be undoing in OnDisable, like enabling actions or attaching callbacks to them. (If you're not doing anything in OnEnable, you're probably doing something in Start or Awake that you should be doing in OnEnable instead).

vast wren
#

thank's for telling me there's still a lot of the new input system I have to learn 😅

hidden laurel
#

So an action.Enable() should have a corresponding action.Disable(), and a action.pressed += MyMethod should have a corresponding action.pressed -= MyMethod.

#

No problem!

im having trouble with using an xbox one wireless controller on mobile;
i have managed to get the left joystick value with Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") and Input.GetAxis("Vertical"), which both work perfectly fine
the problem is, i can't detect the buttons.
i have set the "Positive button" key of the action "Jump" in the input manager to "joystick button 0" and listened to it with if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump")), but it never gets triggered. what am i doing wrong?

@austere grotto Do you also use onActionChange like this?

    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}");
                }
            };

Do you know the difference between onActionChange and onEvent?
Document is missing description of onEvent...

austere grotto
#

no idea what that does

#

I will look it up now 😄

#

hmm that's an interesting event

#

could be pretty useful for a "press any key" type situation

#

seems like a decent way to get the last active input device, yeah

proud fjord
#

I thought the new input system itself would have an api such as a callback or event to inform when the device was changed.

austere grotto
proud fjord
#

That's right.
If use PlayerInput component, there is a way too good for it.

It's a strange that there isn't a way with out using PlayerInput

#

Similar results can be obtained with onEvent and OnActionChange.
However, checking and processing the device at every keystroke (even every moment the joystick is being pressed) feels very messy.

austere grotto
#

eh - it's not so bad. Performance-wise it's certainly fine. Humans are very slow

proud fjord
#

Well, actually, it may not be such a big performance issue.
According to Forum Threads, the value of gyrosensors is too high when using a ps4 controller.
So there were people who worked on filtering it.
I don't know if it's a significant factor because I haven't checked the actual test or load on it yet.

I thought this function was necessary and natural.
I was wondering if there was any other information that I had missed out and hoping to get other information here

// Update is called once per frame

This is my code, and its for a top down shooter. The problem is, the gun is controlled by this script and it fires single, not full-auto. I want to change it to full-auto, is there an input controller that makes the gun fires on full auto instead of single

GetButton will trigger every frame the button is held down. However you'll need to implement a cool down between bullets.

@night trout Cooldowns are really easy to do too. A really simple one is just:

float cd = 0.0f;
public float timer = 2.0f;

void Start()
{
  cd = timer;
}

void Update()
{
  if(cd > 0) { cd -= Time.deltaTime; }
  else if(Input.GetButton("Fire1"))
  {
    Shoot();
    cd = timer;
  }
}

# night trout wow you actually spent time to write that thank you so much

Just to explain it a little, timer is something you can set in the unity inspector, in seconds. So in that example its 2 seconds. The code just subtracts time from that number using Time.deltaTime, and then once that number is 0 or less you can shoot and it resets that number. There are a ton of ways to do timers, but this is probably the most simple unless Unity added something I'm not aware of

I'm having an issue with the new input system when it comes to letting the player change control bindings.
As far as I can tell the code does introduce an override path for the binding, but the action does not respond to the override path and only to the original binding path.
I'll post the code shortly

# 

//The code is set up so it can change more than just one binding, that's why there are some arrays and a switch, but it currently only changes one binding for testing

  public void StartKeyRebind(int reNum)
    {
        int bind = 0;

        buttons[reNum].SetActive(false);

        switch (reNum)
        {
            case 0:
                bind = 0;
                break;

            default:
                Debug.Log("Invalid input for rebinding keys. Value sent: " + reNum);
                return;
        }

        refs[reNum].action.Disable();

        reOp = refs[reNum].action.PerformInteractiveRebinding()
            .WithCancelingThrough("<Keyboard>/escape")
            .OnMatchWaitForAnother(.1f)
            .WithTargetBinding(bind)
            .OnComplete(operation => EndKeyRebind(reNum, bind))
            .OnCancel(operation => EndKeyRebind(reNum, bind))
            .Start();
    }

    public void EndKeyRebind(int reNum, int bindingIndex)
    {
        buttons[reNum].SetActive(true);

        reOp.Dispose();
        reOp = null;

        conText[reNum].text = InputControlPath.ToHumanReadableString(
            refs[reNum].action.bindings[bindingIndex].effectivePath,
            InputControlPath.HumanReadableStringOptions.OmitDevice);

        refs[reNum].action.Enable();
    }
#

The UI display text changes to show the correct binding, but as I said, the input system only responds to the original binding.

That would make sense, but I tried adding a Player Input into a unity sample scene for rebinding, and it works there, but you have given me an idea to test out. I'll check out those docs too

#

Oh my god, finally!

#

Thanks mate

#

I found a solution that works, thought I'll try to find a more optimized solution by checking the docs (if there is any, which I hope there is)

#

I just remove and add back in the Input Action Asset into the Player Input after rebinding

#

I hope there is a way to refresh it rather than doing it my way

austere grotto
#

Caveat - I've never used rebinding features yet

#

so Idk how they work

round blaze
#

I've never used it before either, I'm rather new to this input system. So new I didn't even know I could change the controls directly like that, though I don't think that would have been the best solution for my case.

Hey everyone, I'm starting in Unity (2020.3.12f1) and I'm trying to set up a CharacterController with the new Input System's PlayerInput component using Invoke Unity Events , I've set up the script and methods to handle the callbacks but they don't seem to be triggering.

I tried getting an instance of the InputActions i created and manually enabling it and attaching the callback on Awake, and it works.

        input = new InputActions();
        input.Enable();
        input.Gameplay.Move.performed += OnMove;

I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem. And if I have to do anything else to using it with the PlayerInput component

    public void OnLook(InputAction.CallbackContext context)

Hey, I'm setting up really basic 2d platformer movement with a keyboard and controller. The keyboard input works fine but I have a particular problem with controller input. If I happen to flick the left stick to the opposite side and hold it, the input system continues reading the input as the input from before flicking (if I were to flick to the left, I would continue receiving input to the right). I can achieve this same effect with the dpad as well if I execute the inputs quick enough. Is this a common problem, and how could I go about fixing it? It's very easy to achieve this unintentionally, especially with the stick.

#

here is the move input action

I'm having some problems with making the cursor movable with controller input

if (refs[10].action.bindings[0].effectivePath != "<Mouse>/delta")
        {
            mousePos += refs[10].action.ReadValue<Vector2>() * mouseSensitivity * Time.unscaledDeltaTime;
            Debug.Log("mousePos = " + mousePos);
            Mouse.current.WarpCursorPosition(mousePos);
            Debug.Log("Mouse.current.position = " + Mouse.current.position.ReadValue());
        }

refs[10] is the index of my mouse delta action which can be set to a controller stick input. By using Debug.Log() I have been able to conclude that the Vector2 mousePos variable does in fact change correctly, but the position of the cursor itself does not change with the WarpCursorPosition() function.

It's not an issue of unity not being able to move my system cursor (I checked with the unity sample scene) so I'm kinda lost here.
I have checked the code of the unity sample scene, but I haven't really found anything useful to change my code (I could have very well missed something important, so I will still be going through it).

Thanks in advance.

# tame oracle how to give input for hold?

If you're using the new input system, the callbacks get triggered with a context that lets you know the "phase", there's a performed when the button is pressed, and a cancelled when it's let go, so holding merely signifies that the cancelled event is delayed

Holy bjesus. It works in default layout! tyvm for being next to me as miracles happened!

I have an unrelated question. In the input manager it has default axes. I thought it had a crouch as a default too, but I don't see it at the moment. I even remember c being the default getkeydown() assignment... is crouch a non-trivial thing to do in Unity?
There's an ongoing thing with the Empyrion Devs that don't want to give the players the ability to crouch, and I thought it was a default action... it's not? Have I experienced the Mandela Effect?

@green arrow GetKey doesn't rely on those input settings though.

Whether the input axis is there by default doesn't really have anything to do with the complexity of the feature

ruby rampart
#

every time unity recieves an input, it lags a lot, im talking from 300 fps to 50 fps

#

im not using the new input system i believe

#

im just using the usual getkeydown etc

austere grotto
#

Have you tried using the profiler?

ruby rampart
#

cant say i have

#

i dont really notice any lag in builds of the game, only in editor

#

strange, i accidentally closed unity and when i reopened it its working fine

#

mustve been an editor bug

tame oracle
#

ok so i want my movement method to be only called if the player is putting in the a or d keys but im also using this X = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal"); to do this Vector2 movement = new Vector2(X * speed, rb.velocity.y); so that i can move and its short and simple but idk how to do what i just descirbed with it

austere grotto
#

what you said makes sense and should work fine

tame oracle
#

Well I want my movement method to be called in an if statement with a input.ect in the condition so that it only gets called when A and D is pressed

wide summit
#

You just need to check if X is not zero then.

#

Because if it is anything other than zero then it means you are pressing either A or D (or whatever movement hotkeys it is configured to)

#

Wondering if someone could help me setup new input

#

Follows the quick start guide but it’s not working

#

I add Player Input component

#

I click creat actions

#

I get an error

#

NullRefExceptipn : SerializedObject of SerializedPeopery has been disposed

timber robin
#

Double check if the package has an update. And restart Unity.

opaque island
#

Yea latest and restarted

timber robin
#

Try creating it the other way. Create an input asset, open it and create the actions that way.

#

Don't forget to generated the input and save the asset.

#

Also what version of Unity?

opaque island
#

Unity 2020.3.12f1

#

Latest input package

Hi guys how do you disable mouse gamepad in the example provided

#

I want to control the mouse with the left stick of the gamepad

#

In pause menu

#

So I downloaded the unity example, but I can't change the action map the usual way i do it in code

#

For example when I exit the pause menu, i want to use another map, like running and waking

How do I poll touch input on modern, faster than 60 fps touch responsive phones, at the rates of the phone's display or touch systems?

#

How do I do it without adjusting/increasing the fixedUpdate rate, or the Update rate?

Hello Community

#

can anyone help, why my character isnt moving ?

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

public class Player_Controller : MonoBehaviour
{
    // Create Variables
    public Rigidbody2D rb;
    public float moveSpeed;
    private float inputX;
    private float inputY;


    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        // Move the Player on X and Y axes        
        rb.velocity = new Vector2(inputX * moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime, inputY * moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime);        
    }

    // Methode Move
    public void Move(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
    {
        // Get context, what is being pressed
        inputX = context.ReadValue<Vector2>().x;
        inputY = context.ReadValue<Vector2>().y;
    }
}

Where you are actually defining your input actions?

hallow moon
#

in the new input system. i use the standard controlls

#

for wasd

#

and in the script, there are in the move method

timber robin
#

You have to define it in your script as well. This script has no idea it needs to use the input. And the input has no idea it has to call the Move method.

hallow moon
#

i use it with the unity invoke method

timber robin
#

With the PlayerInput component?

hallow moon
#

yep

#

i have defined it already

austere grotto
#

Does it need to be called "OnMove" for that?

timber robin
#

Ah okay. Then in Update, debug.log your inputX and inputY.

austere grotto
#

make sure your "Move" method is being called too

hallow moon
#

they go to 1 and -1

timber robin
#

So the input is working.

#

Try just increasing your moveSpeed value.

hallow moon
#

mh its weird...because i found this on a tutorial video on youtube..and his characters moves

#

can i send the link to it ?

austere grotto
#

it's velocity, not distance

hallow moon
#

oh okay.

that might be shrinking your motion by enough that it looks like it's not moving

hallow moon
#

here was the tutorial

timber robin
#

What's your moveSpeed set to.

hallow moon
#

4

austere grotto
#

did you try without the deltaTime?

timber robin
#

The video doesn't even use deltaTime.

hallow moon
#

yea

timber robin
#

If you're going to follow a tutorial, follow it.

austere grotto
#

Also is your Rigidbody kinematic or dynamic?

hallow moon
#

dynamic

austere grotto
#

And "simulated" is checked or no?

hallow moon
#

no checked

austere grotto
#

not checked? it should be checked

hallow moon
#

oh....

#

because i want to use the controller for a top down movement..and i thought this was for the falling thing

#

so i turned it off

austere grotto
#

"falling thing" is gravity scale

hallow moon
#

ah, so gravity scale needs to be 0

austere grotto
#

simulated is "will this thing move at all via physics"

hallow moon
#

ah okay. thanks. i try it now^^

#

now it works

#

it was the "simulated"

austere grotto
#

if your game is top down it may make sense to just globally set gravity to 0 in the physics 2d settings

hallow moon
#

in project settings ?

austere grotto
#

yes

hallow moon
#

thank you 🙂

#

i can move my character now ^^

#

thanks 😄

#

my first time using unity..

#

xD

austere grotto
#

no worries

#

there's a lot to learn

hallow moon
#

but its really a nice engine 🙂

#

so back to work. thank you..and have a good day! 🙂

Using events and scriptable objects for input reading is blowing my mind. I can't figure out how it goes from myInputAction to myInputHanlder

I just have events created then OnMove(CallbackContext ctx) and somehow it knows OnMove is specifically for move. Before playerinput component would have to have it manually selected the method.

velvet onyx
austere grotto
#

look into how to do it for a native anfroid app for example

#

and then call a unity function in C# from that java code

On mobile, RegisterCallback<MouseDownEvent> is called twice on VisualElement, why?

I get spammed with this: 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.

austere grotto
#

For example in UGUI you need to make sure to use the correct InputModule for the new input system.

#

Not sure if UI Toolkit still uses EventSystem or not but if it does, maybe you just need to switch the input module

whole scroll
#

Hmm idk, I don't have an input module on my scene right now, if thats where the input module resides

austere grotto
whole scroll
#

I haven't explicitly put in anything like that

austere grotto
#

it looks like Input System support is added in the UI TOolkit version in Unity 2021.1

#

if you're on Unity 2020 it doesn't support it

whole scroll
#

I am on 2021.1.7f, maybe theres some setting i need to change

austere grotto
#

well this thread was from last year - maybe they didn't actually get those changes into 2021.1

whole scroll
#

Well I switched to using both systems for now

#

But I think i'll still have the issue of MouseDownEvent triggered twice

#

I'll try to update UI Toolkit to the latest preview if possible

#

So I didn't have an EventSystem in my Scene, UI Toolkit would then try to use a Default event system where it still uses old input system. Adding an EventSystem and using the new Input System in it fixed my issues with UI Toolkit.

austere grotto
#

cool

velvet onyx
# austere grotto look into how to do it for a native anfroid app for example

Cheers. I'll do more research. Every path I've taken has been a dead end, suggesting that this must be done in Unity, somehow. One way that seems possible, but outside my programming ability.... spinning up a thread to act as a timer, in Unity, that then polls for input based on its timings (faster than Unity's updates) and sets flags for the logic in Update/FixedUpdate to digest when they get around to happening. This ensures latency is as low as physically possible.

Hi guys how do you disable mouse gamepad in the example provided by unity
I want to control the mouse with the left stick of the gamepad

So I downloaded the unity example, but I can't change the action map the usual way i do it in code
For example when I exit the pause menu, i want to use another map, like running and waking

PlayerInput.SwitchCurrentActionmap()

#

It doesn't work for you ?

#

Like, it's not changing the binds ?

There should me a method to switch the actual Action Map

Just came across this, does the Input system replace the movement scripts? Havent looked up yet how it works, but if anyone could do a really short tl:dr on the new Input System, that would be awesome! ❤️

timber robin
#

There's no real short way of explaining it. It doesn't use the old Input.GetKeyDown(...) method, if that's what you're asking?

#

Unity has a whole video on implementing basic movement with it that goes into exactly how to set it up. It will be on their Youtube channel.

polar compass
#

That's what I'm asking, but is it used for controllers etc? What im working on only uses m/kb

timber robin
#

It's used for input.

polar compass
#

okok, thanks! ❤️

timber robin
#

Be it keyboard/mouse, controllers, joysticks, custom HIDs

#

It even works plug and play with arcade button/joystick inputs, bought off Amazon (I recently tried. 😆 )

polar compass
#

Got it, first thing i found when googling was in relation to Controllers etc

timber robin
#

Well, the whole point of the new input system is that it's very easy to add different input types without adding any code.

polar compass
#

So wanted to double check, no reason to learn something (yet) if i cant use it 😄

#

Sweet!

timber robin
#

If you want to add controller support to your game, you just add the mapping to the asset and it just "works".

polar compass
#

Great! If my vision become a reality, adding a controller option to it would be hilarious

#

Thanks for the quick answer!

I moved over to the new Input System but UI Toolkit is not reacting to touch inputs (works fine for mouse), why could that be happening?

light kindle
#

Hey, is there a way to scroll a multiline TMP text input field to the end?

light kindle
#

Okay, I found a way but I don't think it's the intended way to achieve this:

PointerEventData pointerEventData = new PointerEventData(null);
pointerEventData.scrollDelta = new Vector2(0, -1000f);
inputField.OnScroll(pointerEventData);

What's UI toolkit?

I managed to fixed it though by using UI Toolkit Event System script instead of Input System UI Input Module

#

However I have an issue on Mobile where after the Scene reloads, the Player Input does not register anymore and im not sure why.

Is it bad practice to use both new and old at the same time?

is using context.canceled a legit way to achieve the same thing as with GetButtonUp and context.started / GetButtonDown?

With input system can I do something like:
InputAction = "Directions"
And have WASD output as bitflags?

austere grotto
#

You can get a Vector2

wide ridge
#

Ya, I have that atm.
... Just realized I'm not forced to stick with a uint in photon and could make that a Vector2 as well.

austere grotto
#

If you want, for networking compactness, if you just need binary values for WASD being pressed you can certainly convert the Vector2 into a unit bitfield

#

but you'd do that outside of the purview of the input system

whole scroll
#

I don't get it, I reload a scene and Player Inputs stop triggering

austere grotto

#

I have one .inputactions file where i have some actions

and a player game object which has a Player Inputs components, referencing the GameInputs asset, events are subscribed to through Unity events

mhmm

alright

Could there be an issue that has with keeping a static reference to the player in my code?

And is any of this DontDestroyOnLoad or anything

btw this only happens on a phone build, not in the editor player

How could I debug this? Maybe i should use an alternative way to singletons through static variables

So im using this component to handle input (https://i.imgur.com/RiiMYQo.png)
However only in mobile builds, after another Scene is loaded, the inputs are no longer recognized. UI inputs still work but not the Player inputs. Everything works fine in editor player.

Does unity have objdump so I can find the symbol and use a hex editor to find out how much space a Vector2 takes up?
Microsoft API vector mentioned that you can do something like Vector<2>(sbyte) which might force the vector size to be small.

austere grotto
#

You can do sizeof(Vector2)

wide ridge

Ah thanks. Hmm... Ya, I suppose 4 bits is much better than 8 bytes.

#

thx

sort of - but the uint you'll pack that into is still 4 bytes
