Oh wait

I had to click a button in the Event System object

because computers aren't capable of doing that without human input

apparently

[subtle patrol]

Hi guys, I hope this is the right channel, I use Input Actions
I follow tutorial, until step where I press control w,a,s,d is debug shown in play mode but the character is not moving yet is work very well, similar with the tutorial, and the next step I add character controller component and following tutorial that change the code, after I finish following the tutorial I can't go to play mode because some component is error

[austere grotto]

"come component is error" wdym?

[subtle patrol]

I think this

[austere grotto]

what other errors do you have

[subtle patrol]

It's all I have

[deft berry]

looks like you are missing semicolons and brackets. Make sure your IDE is properly set up so it will show you those kinds of errors while writing the code. Check #854851968446365696 for the guide to set up the IDE

[austere grotto]

you have to fix those errors on AnimationAndMovementController

[subtle patrol]

woa! it's works, first I need to set up the IDE, and I open the script again there is new tool that can check my error on script and last I can fix AnimationAndMovementController, thank you @deft berry@austere grotto

[clever oyster]

replacing standalone input module to the new input system event system, now I cant click buttons in my menus

[deft berry]

select your eventsystem in your scene and click the button in the inspector to upgrade it to the new input system]

[clever oyster]

doing that makes buttons to stop working

to the mouse for example

[clever oyster]

thank you , the solution was to simply click that button you are right

Dang it , but doing that the old event system to click with mouse doesnt work...

even though the two are active

ok it works when I disable the cursor

[novel sparrow]

My package manager is whole empty 😭

And i got 3 errors and unalble to fix it , this error is of sprites and all , everytime i am opening any scene its showing this error idk what's the problem pls help

[whole scroll]

No I didn't, should I?

[whole scroll]

I did now and it works fine in the editor thanks

[twin sundial]

how do I return the InputUser of a device that's being used?

I want to check if a button is pressed, and then return the device that was being used when the button was pressed

[austere grotto]

Assuming you have an InputAction.CallbackContext context then it's context.control.device

[twin sundial]

thanks!

[tawdry wasp]

I want while my player is placing a thing I can rotate it 90 degrees every time they press the button, but i'm not sure how to do it with the new input system it's confusing me, atm I have the key set to R on keyboard - to check if it's pressed once I can jsut have it on/off a bool, but to check how many times it's pressed and then rotate it idk how to do that

        void PlaceBuilding()
        {
            if (!placeLocations.Contains(curIndicatorPos) && !curBuildingPreset.twosquare)
            {
                if (cameraCo.rotatePlacementPressed) { 
                    GameObject buildingObj = Instantiate(curBuildingPreset.prefab, curIndicatorPos, Quaternion.Euler(new Vector3(0, 90, 0)));
                City.instance.OnPlaceBuilding(buildingObj.GetComponent<Building>());
                placeLocations.Add(curIndicatorPos);
                }
            }```

this is what I have to place it, what I use for no rotation is Quaternion.identity

[grand crow]

Can you keep a running counter in whatever method calls PlaceBuilding? Then pass in the (rotation % 4) * 90

I'm having trouble getting the new input system to recognize my gamepad at all. Its just a generic dinput pad and nothing works. I use XInput to emulate an xbox360 controller for games that don't support anything else and Unity doesn't even notice that. What am I missing here?

[grand crow]

It shows the gamepad's name correctly in the inspector, it just doesn't seem to notice or care when a button is pressed

[remote basalt]

Hello. I kinda have an issue. I'm running Unity 2021.1.12f1 on Linux, and oddly enough, a Rock Candy Switch Pro Controller, which the PC detects just fine; is not supported? I think it believes it to be a walkman?

Bus 003 Device 007: ID 0e6f:0187 Logic3 Rock Candy Wired Controller for Nintendo SwitchBus 003 Device 007: ID 0e6f:0187 Logic3 Rock Candy Wired Controller for Nintendo Switch```

~~Unity however...~~

I am a silly dingus bird, I didnt know the input debugger had contextual menus.... adding it to the support devices (literally an option) solves it.

[twin sundial]

I'm having problems with binding Control Schemes to my InputUsers

every time I try to do anything with the InputUser class that has to do with ControlSchemes, I get this error message

I made sure that my InputUser wasn't null or anything, and that all the values were set correctly

here's my code

The error is coming from the line that says player.inputUser.ActivateControlScheme(scheme.Value);

inputUser is a reference to the Player's InputUser, and pairedDevice is a reference to the device connected to the Player

before this part of my code, I used the PerformDevicePairing to pair the device to the user

[olive loom]

Whats the difference between these 2 events? I need calls when they has been pressed down

[olive loom]

I also cant seem to figure out which event is called every frame while the key is held

[abstract jasper]

Has anyone tried to implement mouse drag with the new input system? I tried the approach described https://forum.unity.com/threads/implement-a-mouse-drag-composite.807906/ here, but I'm getting weird results (last post)

[fallow haven]

How can I get the mouse position in the editor using the New Input System package?

Since actions can only be read while in-game

[austere grotto]

Does Mouse.current.position.ReadValue() work?

[fallow haven]

Yes!! Thank you!

[still forum]

Hey guys 🙂
Just migrated to the new Input System (after a while i know) and i have trouble because
EventSystem.IsPointerOverGameObject(); doesn't work anymore and
inputSystemUIInput.IsPointerOverGameObject(); doesn't work as well...
so i can't prevent touch events altough UI elements where clicked...

What's the new way of handling such things?

[twin sundial]

you could always use a raycast from the mouse position and see if it hits anything

that's what I do

[slate lance]

Zipcar

[still forum]

okay yeah... so you mean i should simulate the mouse pos with my touches?

[twin sundial]

I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to accomplish, but I know that a way to test if the mouse is over something is by using raycasts

basically you can just use the ToWorldPos method to convert screen coordinates to world coordinates, and then raycast using that as a position to see if the raycast hits something

although, anything you want to be hoverable will need a boxcollider

[still forum]

okay thanks for the advice 🙂

I'm pretty sure there must be a simpler solution (as it was before i updated to the new input system) but if I'm not able to find one I'll have a deeper look at the raycast solution.

as i know those pointers are raycasts anyway.

[true drift]

I am having a problem where the Unity file MultipleDisplayUtilities.cs did not upgrade to the new system. It keeps crashing my project. The error line is highlighted. How do I fix it?

[grand crow]

https://hatebin.com/knfqanykhm Try this?

Idk if there is any difference but it is working for me in 2021.1.10

Or you might need to check your EventSystem in your hierarchy and see if it shows a message about switching the input system.

Its not intuitive. Like at all.

Speaking of which, this is happening and I don't know why. I don't have any methods assigned to this event, so I don't know why it is trying to read a float from a composite. Note that this only happens with the mouse wheel. If I remove that it stops complaining.

[neat marten]

We're using EventSystem.current.IsPointerOverGameObject() with new Input System and it works. Why do you think your code doesn't?

[olive loom]

Is there a way to have a callback key event with the new input system that is called every frame while the key is being held?

[timber robin]

No, you need to set a bool which is set on the performers and cancelled actions.

[olive loom]

So i stil need to use the update methods?

[timber robin]

Yes

[olive loom]

lame 😛

guess ill keep using the code i had

[sharp wharf]

hey, I'm new to Unity (though i do have six years of web dev experience) and I've got what i think is a pretty basic question.

How do I get the current user input device? I'm using the auto-detect input device setting to allow the user to change from KBM to controller on the fly, and it works well, but I want to also have it change the onscreen prompts to the proper buttons when that happens. I do know it fires an event when it happens, but inside the handler for that event, how can I access the current input device and get its type?

[timber robin]

https://forum.unity.com/threads/detect-most-recent-input-device-type.753206/

Check Rene's response

[sharp wharf]

Thank you!

[inland bramble]

Hi, I'm new to unity and I just got stuck trying to understand something about the input system. The idea is: the player is a car, there will be 2 cars, one with WASD and the other with Arrows.

I made a player prefab of the car, and it uses invoke events to move, but when I spawn 2 game objects (each one of them having their own Player Input) only 1 of the cars move.

Can't multiple Player Inputs be activated at the same time?
What am I doing wrong?

I was expecting that, even if both cars had WASD, when moving it would move both cars.

[inland bramble]

So... this is awkward but it works. After a lot of searching on something that I have no idea what I'm doing, I finally got a work around.

This post suggests that PlayerInput will not assign the same device to more than one player..
https://forum.unity.com/threads/multiple-players-on-keyboard-new-input-system.725834/#post-4848698

So I managed to work around it by using the code on the car which has the PlayerInput:

void Start() {
    PlayerInput input = GetComponent<PlayerInput>();
    input.SwitchCurrentControlScheme(input.playerIndex == 1 ? "Keyboard (Arrows)" : "Keyboard (WASD)");
}

I'm not sure if that's the right thing to do or if there are easier ways, but it works... let me know tho.

[fallow haven]

How can I read an input value of an action in the editor?

[still forum]

okay well cause i got all sorts of bugs with ui elements and touch elements but it might be that I destroyed the sprite. Thanks for the info now i know where to look at 🙂

[still forum]

no not necessarily

what i did was an hold and release event

[kindred island]

hey when i start my game and i can move around if i click the pause button nth happens it doesnt even become darker for a sec

which means it has been clicked

[still forum]

What pause button are you talking about?

[kindred island]

a ui one

[austere grotto]

Do you have an Event System in your scene?

[obtuse laurel]

Hi I'd like to ask for help setting up Input System for controllers.

I have a few questions regarding this, firstly, do I explicitly need the Input Player Manager? It's a one peripheral device game

So would be based on Gamepad.current

[timber robin]

You don't need the Player Input Manager component, no.

[obtuse laurel]

var playerGamepad = Gamepad.current; Vector2 joyStick = playerGamepad.leftStick.ReadValue();

I saw this in an example, but I'm using C#

thanks @timber robin already

[austere grotto]

this is C#

[obtuse laurel]

I rarely use var datatype

[austere grotto]

¯_(ツ)_/¯ it's just a keyword not a datatype

[timber robin]

You don't need to cache your gamepad either, just set it up in your input asset.

[obtuse laurel]

I thought maybe @austere grotto

so my next challenge is linking to the input asset

[austere grotto]

I recommend using InputActionReference in your code, as needed, to refer to InputActions

[obtuse laurel]

thanks

I'll look it up in the ref

[austere grotto]

Some other options are:

• use the generated C# code file from the Input Action Asset
• use PlayerInput component

[timber robin]

I personally prefer using the code file, implementing the interface.

[obtuse laurel]

er, is there a walkthrough for PlayerInput?

I'm running out of time and it's an old project

Ah ok, so I should open the inspector up

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

[austere grotto]

Yep there ya go - there's a PlayerInput walkthrough there

The docs here really are kind of insufficient though. There's a ton of ways to use the new Input System that are just not really documented at all in the official docs.

[obtuse laurel]

Thanks.

I'm really foggy about this, but seems I've set up most of what I need in my code already

at least I know to investigate for my next project.

Problem is: I need to create controls for keyboard and or gamepad

So I'd prefer implementing the interface, rather than ad-hoc my own solution

in the end, that is

[feral stone]

my unity is randomly closes when i am about to publish a vr chat world any thoughts?

[obtuse laurel]

Is this related to input system?

[feral stone]

oh my bad

[grand crow]

I'm not sure if I'm approaching this the right way, but here's my concern:

I have a few Action Maps. These control a few broad states of the player. Regardless of what state the player is in I want them to be able to zoom the camera in and out. This results in my defining the CameraZoom action in every Action Map. This feels like its the wrong way to do this, but I'm not sure what the best way to handle it is.

[austere grotto]

define it once in a separate action map.

just make sure to enable that separate map:

playerInput.actions.FindActionMap("CameraActions").Enable();```

[grand crow]

Either the documentation isn't clear (possible) or I'm just dumb (probable) but I didn't realize there could be several enabled at once.

neat.

[olive loom]

How do I make a key detect if its just pressed or pressed and held for a certain amount using the new input system?

[nimble phoenix]

My game pad does not work when I build my game using unity new input system

[chrome walrus]

Is it working in Editor?

[nimble phoenix]

Yes

[leaden sequoia]

worst thing that can happen imo 👀
good luck 🥺

[austere grotto]

the Hold interaction will tell you if the key is pressed and held for a certain amount of time.

[gleaming frigate]

I set my 2020.3 LTS project to the newer input system

But it hasn't worked

It keeps telling me that the Input system stuff doesn't exist

Any idea what went wrong?

[calm tapir]

using UnityEngine.UI;

what

sorry i pasted the wrong thing

[austere grotto]

• Make sure you installed the new input system package in the project
• Go to preferences - code editor and do "regenerate project files"

[gleaming frigate]

I am not seeing where the code editor tab is

[austere grotto]

external tools sorry

[gleaming frigate]

For some reason that hasn't fixed the issue. It seems like Unity set the input system to the new one without getting the necessary files for new input system

[austere grotto]

Is the package installed in the package manager?

[olive loom]

do you have the docs link for that?

[austere grotto]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.0/manual/Interactions.html#hold

[olive loom]

Thanks

i assume also i cant have both holding and on press? I need it on release

[austere grotto]

what's the behavior you want?

[olive loom]

If i just press, it does something, but if i hold and release for X seconds it adds more force to it

[austere grotto]

I'd probably just do something like listen to started and canceled events:

• start a timer on started
• on canceled check how much time has passed. If it's been more than some threshold, add the extra force, otherwise do the normal thing.

[olive loom]

Yeah thats the thing, i need to do the stuff on cancelled

aka lift key

[austere grotto]

mhmm

[olive loom]

Ahh, well i guess its fine

[austere grotto]

that's what the canceled event is for

[olive loom]

yeah too bad there isnt a continuous-started event so it gets called every frame while something is being held

[forest fulcrum]

wait

why isn't this working

public void OnCameraZoom(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
    {
        Debug.Log(context.ReadValue<>());
    }

im having an error on the readvalue function. it's saying "Using the generic method group 'ReadValue' requires 1 type arguments [Assembly-CSharp]csharp(CS0305)"

so i assume it needs an argument, but what would i put as the argument lol?

[timber robin]

You have to pass in the type into ReadValue.

[forest fulcrum]

ohhhhhh i see okay thanks mate!

[grand crow]

Is there a proper way to prevent disabled gameobject from responding to UnityEvents? I have an object listening for a certain event and the method gets called even when the gameobject is disabled.

I could just have the method check if its gameobject is disabled and return immediately, but this seems clunky.

[austere grotto]

Not really. Either check if it's active or unsubscribe/resubscribe the listener when the object is disabled/enabled

[olive loom]

do i need this in order to actually detect duration?

[austere grotto]

no - you can just track it yourself. This won't tell you the duration it is held at all. It will just send a performed event after .4 seconds

[olive loom]

For some reason it doesnt want to work without this in it

I also use it inside the canceled event

dont evne have a performed one registered

[crisp topaz]

hi, could anyone point me to where can I get Device Orientation (e.g. upside down portrait) in the "new" Input System?
I can get it via Input.deviceOrientation, but I'd like to maybe += to some "OrientationChanged" event, instead of doing it in Update()

[devout rover]

my ps4 controller doesnt register right triggrt up, is this inteended or is it broken? all other buttons work

(it registers right trigger down)

[dense ridge]

is there a way to have more than 1 input

[devout rover]

in the old or new input system?

[dense ridge]

new

[devout rover]

yes, im pretty sure you just add another binding

[dense ridge]

but for the same binding

so like move forward to be w or joystick up

[devout rover]

oh yea

[timber robin]

Yes just add a new binding.

[devout rover]

brackys has a great video on that

[devout rover]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pzd8NhcRzVo

does anyone know why my ps4 controllers triggers only works with "press" and not press and release?

is this intended behaviour

[dense ridge]

I think so

[devout rover]

do you know why?

🙂

[dense ridge]

nope

also the problem is the action is a vector 2

so it wil be hard to have more than 2

1

[devout rover]

what do you want to do with it

ohh

[dense ridge]

move, crouch, sprint

[devout rover]

so you want help do add bindings for a controller?

[dense ridge]

yes and still want it to be able for computer

[devout rover]

ok

click here

and add a new controll schem, name it something like "controller"

and you might aswell add one for the keyboard and mouse

Tell me when youve done that and ill explain the next step

[dense ridge]

done

[devout rover]

ok so, select the controller input scheme

and in it, replace the old bindigs with the contollrt bindings

then save, and it should be it

[dense ridge]

but I have 2

ok now I have movemnt for computer and movement controller for controller

[devout rover]

does it work

[dense ridge]

let me do the script

[devout rover]

ok

id watch a video and how to activate it, because it weird

[devout rover]

this one explains it

[dense ridge]

I already have one

[devout rover]

ok

[dense ridge]

how do I change this to the new input system

[devout rover]

its hard to explain, but id look at the video i sent, they explain it well

[dense ridge]

it doesn't say

[neat marten]

It is kinda explained here
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.1/manual/Migration.html#getAxis

[devout rover]

it does'

[neat marten]

But in the latest version it's not GetValue, but ReadValue
It's also possible to read it from the action itself - if you want it in Update method

[devout rover]

like in the last minue

Running

have you just the input system for controllers? if you have, do you have time to help me

[dense ridge]

ok so it says of the mouse.current.position.readvalue but mouse doesn't come up as an option

[neat marten]

What? Mouse.current.position.ReadValue maps to Input.mousePosition, not Input.GetAxis

[neat marten]

We haven't added controller support yet

[dense ridge]

I'm trying to get input.getaxis("Mouse X")

[devout rover]

but i can find ps4 controller

[calm tapir]

they're talking about in their game

[devout rover]

ohhh

[devout rover]

have you used controller in the input system

[calm tapir]

i haven't no

[neat marten]

Just ask your question, someone might help

[calm tapir]

i've only used mouse and keyboard

[dense ridge]

do you know how I can use input.getaxis("Mouse X")

[neat marten]

Do you want it in Update method?

[devout rover]

ok so, the triggers only works with "press" and nto "press and release" and the sticks doesnt give of a value of 0 when they are in the midle, they use the value they had last time they was moved

[dense ridge]

yes because it's a first person game and you rotate with the mouse

[devout rover]

which means that the character doesnt stop shooting and always spins

[calm tapir]

try
Mouse.current.delta.x.ReadValue()

[dense ridge]

mouse doesn't exist in this context

[calm tapir]

have u added it to the action map?

[dense ridge]

what

what do I need to add

[devout rover]

to this ^^

[dense ridge]

for mouse?

[devout rover]

yea, id put it under keyboard, so where you added movement, add look

[devout rover]

and give it the mouse

[dense ridge]

which I made a new action map thing like Move called mouse for this what do I change this to

[devout rover]

ehhhhh, ask dis_da_moe

[dense ridge]

dis da moe can you help

[calm tapir]

one sec it's been a while since i did this i'm trying to do it myself

[dense ridge]

how do I get delta mouse

[neat marten]

But it should work without the action, just using Mouse.current.delta.x.ReadValue()

[neat marten]

What do you mean by that? Add using

[dense ridge]

I can't find it in my path

[neat marten]

using UnityEngine.InputSystem;

...

Mouse.current.delta.x.ReadValue()

[devout rover]

how do you the the background thing

[calm tapir]

three of ```

on either side

[devout rover]

´´´ OwO ´´

yes

[neat marten]

IDK, try going through https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.1/manual/

@neat marten

[weak trout]

Hi, does anybody know a good asset for displaying input bindings on screen? Bonus points if it can switch between keyboard/gamepad/VR

Essentially I just want something I can call to display a certain button on the GUI, and have it be able to change depending on which type of controller the player is using. I could make it myself but if anybody knows an asset that already exists for this, or what to search for, that'd save a lot of time

[zealous wedge]

Hey Y'all, I've been trying to do something that feels a bit slopppy where I'm amalgamating the raycast input click with the UI PointerEventData for a card game that handles both. Does anyone have any recommendations for amalgamating UI clicks and 3d world clicks into 1 uniformed thing? the interface i've made is a bit janky and I could use some advice

[zealous wedge]

I think rewired can handle that in its OnInputChange event i forget the syntax for the api but it does fire an event when changing input

[austere grotto]

Either embrace the EventSystem entirely or don't use it at all

that's my $0.02

[potent python]

I've got a question which I think I found but wanted to clarify. I have two Action Maps, one is "MenuInput" the other is "GameInput". I also have an action on both of these maps called "act_Point" which acts as the mouse, is this not possible to do as I'm noticing in my event handling that it's acting odd when I have two actions with the same name.

[neat marten]

Define odd
I haven't played with actions of the same name in different action maps, but I expect it at least to work if only one action map is active at a time

[safe basin]

Hey, i use a 1d Axis to rotate my player, but i just gives me values of 0 and 1 when i do .readValue<float> (i use a keyboard, so i figure it won't give a floating point value, but why are there no negative values showing up in the console?)

        Controls.Player.Rotate.performed += _ => SteerKeys(_);
void SteerKeys(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
{
_torque = context.ReadValue<float>();
Debug.Log(_torque);}

[potent python]

Ye so did I, but I think it causes issues, even when I use the SwitchCurrentActionMap. So one of the Actions returns a Vector2 of the position of the mouse, the other returns the Delta of the mouse, but because they've got the same name "act_Point" it just always returns the position of the mouse rather than the delta, changing the names obviously fixes this.

[neat marten]

Even if only one of the maps is active? Sounds strange, maybe a bug

[devout rover]

hello, im adding local multiplayer for my game, and we are using InputValue, in the tutoral he presses alt + enter, but i dont get the same menu as him, does anyone how i acces the same menu as he did

[potent python]

Yep can't seem to find anything on it, thought by disabling the current action map and then switching it will actually help but doesn't seem to work o.o

[devout rover]

or i get the same menu, he just has mor eoptions

[ocean shell]

How do I start editing an inputfield with a key?

Im making a fps, and the cursor is locked, cant click the inputfield.

[neat marten]

You need to Select() it

[safe basin]

is my question too stupid, not well enough explained, or does no one know an answer?

[safe basin]

ok fixed it buy regenerating the script and saving my controls 😅 and i turned auto save off bc it was too obnoxious. Sorry folks and happy coding! 🙂

[royal stream]

With the new input system, I need input into several different scripts. Is there a way to poll the new input system?
For example, I have "Fire" and "Move" set up. On my Player game object, I have a Player Input component, and it works to move the Player, but I need the "Fire" input in the script on my Gun game object (child of Player). There will be several different gun game objects for different types of guns. I would like to be able to just poll "Fire" from the script on the Gun. Is this possible? If so, is there a tutorial or example of how to do this somewhere? Thank you.

[frigid ridge]

@royal stream Better way to solve this would probably be to handle the fire input on the player object and have it use the weapon

You certainly can go without Player input, but doing so breaks a lot of features player input provides

[royal stream]

@frigid ridge Do you mean get the input in the Player game object script, and then send a message to the Gun object script?

[frigid ridge]

Generally I have the player object call something on the item it's using

This has the added benefit of allowing AIs to do the same, as the item is no longer directly tied to some sort of player input

[royal stream]

@frigid ridge So, would you do this by calling a method in the Gun script?

[frigid ridge]

Yes

[royal stream]

@frigid ridge Thank you, I'll try this.

[frigid ridge]

If you in the future end up having different types of items, they can implement some sort of C# interface that exposes the Use() method.

[royal stream]

@frigid ridge Thank you for that. I'm planning on having at least 3 different types of guns, with each on a different game object (child of the Player). I'm just watching a video that is using interfaces (I've never used them before).

[frigid ridge]

If the only item type you have is gun, they can probably just inherit from a base gun script

Inheritance and interfaces are ways to make things neater.

[royal stream]

@frigid ridge One will be a laser, one projectile, and one particle. I'll analyze it from the inheritance and interface ways, once I learn more about interfaces.

[frigid ridge]

Yea if they don't end up sharing functionality, interface would likely be a better option. They are great for exposing a common feature between more or less unrelated scripts.

[royal stream]

@frigid ridge That's what I'm thinking, that they will have somewhat different functionality, which is why I was going to use 3 different game objects.

Any reason to disable action maps that dont have a device plugged in for?

[slate jetty]

Hello, i've created an input action asset for Mouse Inputs using the new input system. I'm also using the EnhancedTouchSupport for Touch inputs on a TouchScreen. The problem is that I can't make them work simultaneously on Windows because a touch on a windows touchscreen is also emulated / considered as a mouse input.
Do you guys have any idea how to solve that problem ? I'd be able to detect mouse inputs & touch inputs but they have to not interfer between each other.

[kindred island]

hey ive made some ui buttons that i can press but when i add a panel i cant press them

pls help

...

[neat marten]

You mean panel blocks input?

[kindred island]

no a panel fom ui

from

[neat marten]

Difficult to understand your situation without examples

[kindred island]

look i want to make a in-game menu and ive added some ui buttons. However when you trigger that menu you can still see the game and i want to add a backround

and when i add the panel to make the backround i cant press them

ill thry adding an image

try

now i cant even see the buttons

i need some help with ui actually but there is no channel for that

[neat marten]

There is

[kindred island]

oh

sorry

😬

[slate jetty]

I was wondering what's the link with Input system 😄

Is my question above clear enough?

[neat marten]

Anyone?

[olive loom]

this input system seems highly unoptimized; its using so many strings everywhere!

[slate jetty]

Is there anything similar to https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Input-simulateMouseWithTouches.html for the New Input System?

[kindred kraken]

As long as you're only interpreting the strings once (like in Awake() for example) then it doesn't really matter how slow they are

granted, I haven't looked into the new input system

[blazing vine]

can someone tell me why Keyboard.current[Key.LeftAlt].isPressed always returns true for me until i actually press and release that button to reset the state?

[blazing vine]

no one?

[olive loom]

every tag, every name, every key assignment is in string

[plush wasp]

You mean internally? From a user perspective I don't have any string-based lookup in my input handling code

@olive loom

[olive loom]

Editing it requires to go around strings

the names have extras, control scheme is literally just a long string that contains what schemes it includes per action

@plush wasp heres a code i had to write yesterday to find all the player mappings , everything here is strings cs //gets all input bindings in `Player` Action Map that uses the Keyboard&Mouse control scheme var g = Inputs.Player.Get().actions; for (int i = 0; i < g.Count; i++) { if(g[i].name != "Look") { Debug.LogWarning($"{g[i].name}"); for (int j = 0; j < g[i].bindings.Count; j++) { if (!g[i].bindings[j].isComposite && g[i].bindings[j].groups.Contains("Keyboard&Mouse")) Debug.Log($"\t{g[i].bindings[j].path}"); } } }

except for .isComposite, thankfully

not to mention the path part isnt just the name of the key or anything

its stuff like <Keyboard>/shift

not sure how editing works yet, hopefully it isnt as bad as i feel like it will be

[plush wasp]

Oh interesting, I hadn't needed to do any kind of processing on the bindings so I haven't discovered that side of it yet

I'm worried about how crazy custom user binding is going to be, especially since I have a lot of composite bindings

[olive loom]

yesss the composite thing is so freaking annoying

wish there was a way to return a consistent class that has everything separated neatly

[haughty spire]

Hey guys. I created a game using WASD keyboard and mouse. Older people are struggling to use it so I am thinking of converting to an xbox controller. Is this something that can be done easily?

[abstract jasper]

What's the difference between
controls.Ball.Enable();
and
playerInput.SwitchCurrentActionMap("Ball");
?
The second one doesn't seem to do anything on my end

This doesn't even work

    playerInput.currentActionMap.Disable();
playerInput.SwitchCurrentActionMap("Ball");
playerInput.currentActionMap.Enable();```

Do you need to keep track of all action maps, disabling and enabling manually?

[indigo patrol]

they both are functions...

the later receives string as it's param

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.0/api/UnityEngine.InputSystem.PlayerInput.html

[abstract jasper]

@indigo patrol

On that page it says Use SwitchCurrentActionMap(String) or just call Enable() directly to enable a specific map.
So they seem to be equivalent. But when this is set to Invoke C Sharp Events, the SwitchCurrentActionMap(String) function doesn't seem to do anything.

Setting it to Send Messages seems to work like expected

[indigo patrol]

Send Message is ugly, you know ... https://forum.unity.com/threads/using-playerinput-with-c-events.961129/

[abstract jasper]

I'm trying to get Invoke C Sharp Events working

[indigo patrol]

yes yes.. see the link above

[abstract jasper]

Yep I'm looking, but can't see any mention of switching action maps?

[indigo patrol]

did you you scroll down ?

[abstract jasper]

Yes

So I'm thinking it's probably because I'm using the auto generated interface to hook up to the events.
public class PlayerInputReader : MonoBehaviour, Controls.IPlayerActions
...

controls.Player.SetCallbacks(this);```

Since I'm hooking up to the callbacks like this, it seems like switching action maps on the PlayerInput component doesn't have any effect

Yeah I guess that's it. Since this is like rolling your own instance of the input, you need to enable and disable the action maps manually

Would've been nice to use the same function as the other systems

Found this thread that provides some insight into why using the wrapper class is different from using PlayerInput, in case anyone's interested
https://forum.unity.com/threads/input-system-generate-c-code-what-its-good-for.995674/#post-6465724
Seems like it's easiest to use one or the other for now

[fallow haven]

How can I read inputs from within the editor for custom tools? I have the new input system installed. Do these need to be actions? I'm trying to read input for scroll wheel (to change brush size) and escape (to cancel painting) from the editor scene view.

[neat marten]

You don't need Actions
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.1/manual/UseInEditor.html

[fallow haven]

Thanks! Can you give me an example of how I can tweak this to return the current key code pressed?

Is it Key.current then?

[neat marten]

Well, I haven't used it in the EditorWindow yet, but this seems to work

if (Keyboard.current.escapeKey.isPressed) {
    Debug.Log("lol");
}

Oh, sorry, I missed Editor Scene View part, above example is reading key press from specific EditorWindow, don't know how to read presses from Scene View

[fallow haven]

That's alright thanks for the help, doing most of my scripting in UVS. Someone on their discord just helped me set it up in a script graph.

[neat marten]

Looked at it, alright, so using OnDrawGizmos works

[fallow haven]

nice that's exactly what I'm doing in visual scripting

[west oracle]

For SceneView you still probably want to use Event.current rather than the InputSystem since theres a bunch of other wizardry going on in there.

[hoary hemlock]

I need someone to explain local multiplayer to me. I have two Gamepads, and I don't want to use PlayerInputManager because I don't want to "spawn" players.

I have two players in the scene, with int PlayerId = 1 and int PlayerId = 2. I want Player1 to use the first controller (if there is one), Player2 to use the second controller (if there is one), and I also have a keyboard control scheme (one on WASD, other on arrow keys).

Please help.

[west oracle]

@hoary hemlock https://forum.unity.com/threads/keyboard-splitter-local-multiplayer-keyboard.874135

[hoary hemlock]

I don't think that's what I'm looking for. The keyboard works fine. It's the gamepads I'm struggling with.

[west oracle]

also PlayerInput / PlayerInputManager is the easiest path out of the box to wrangle more players. You can spawn all of them at the start too.

you can also enumerate gamepads ie:

Gamepad.all[0]

will give you the first connected pad

are you trying to use InputActions or just raw access to the devices?

[hoary hemlock]

This is my first time using the input system. So I guess I'm using InputActions.

[west oracle]

https://forum.unity.com/threads/best-practices-getting-started-tutorials.875818/

I also made these 🙂

[hoary hemlock]

I have a PlayerInput component on my player object. How do I tell the player 1 PlayerInput to only listen for Gamepad.all[0], and the player 2 PlayerInput to listen for Gamepad.all[1]?

I guess that's where I'm stuck.

[west oracle]

thats where PlayerInputManager comes in.

The gist of it is a PlayerInput object registers an InputUser

PlayerInputManager handles binding Device(s) --> InputUser for --> PlayerInput instance

you can do that process manually as well, but PlayerInputManager makes it much simpler

[hoary hemlock]

Do you have a tutorial for doing it manually?

[west oracle]

nope, but I should probably make one lol

(not the first time these questions have come up)

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

in the meantime this should get ya started 🙂

[hoary hemlock]

Okay, thank you

[west oracle]

additionally, I still recommend using PlayerInput / PlayerInputManager even if you intend on joining players manually. it helps with much of the shenanigans

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.0/api/UnityEngine.InputSystem.PlayerInputManager.html#UnityEngine_InputSystem_PlayerInputManager_JoinPlayer_System_Int32_System_Int32_System_String_UnityEngine_InputSystem_InputDevice_

you can manually tell PlayerInputManager to bind/join a PlayerInput instance with the above function

(of course be sure to set the Join Behaviour of the manager to "Join Manually" or it will try to do everything for you and fuck it all up)

[finite citrus]

how i can add my joystick as input?

[timber robin]

Damn you're all over this discord.

Just so everyone is on the same page, is this a physical joystick you're talking about?

Because you're extremely vague about it.

[atomic meteor]

hey all 👋 i've been trying to use this package https://github.com/nullkal/UniSense since Unity doesn't have official DualSense support for the Input System yet. however, the package doesn't work in IL2CPP builds. i'm pretty sure it has something to do with the [FieldOffset] attributes, which IL2CPP doesn't support, according to the documentation https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/ScriptingRestrictions.html. the Input System itself does work in IL2CPP builds though, which im pretty sure is related to the "Fast" prefixed scripts. according to the comment at the top, this is pre-generated. is there any way that i can pre-generate the custom code so it works with IL2CPP?

[finite citrus]

im so lost with player input, i already have a movement script for player but how do i assign that movement to the player input?

[timber robin]

That's backwards. Input drives movement not the other way around.

[finite citrus]

yeah but, i've created a joystick with on-screen stick script and player input asset, that i assume it would get the same joystick i created, now im confused on how im gonna make that joystick move the player

[timber robin]

How are you reading the joystick input?

[finite citrus]

what do you mean reading

i've put my player input in my joystick and now i am trying to access it through player movement script but i don't have axis in my joystick

[timber robin]

That doesn't really mean anything to me.

Is this a joystick you made completely yourself? What drives it?

[finite citrus]

or i could use the asset one, but the point is, i always need to create a joystick by myself, if i want to move my camera with cinemachine to put it as a input there, since cinemachine dont allow objects to get dragged there

i probably will maintain the movement as it was, or i could mess this up

[timber robin]

Sorry, I have no idea what you're on about.

https://youtu.be/YV5KOZHsIz4

Have you tried following a tutorial that would let you control the camera with an on screen joystick?

[finite citrus]

yea she creates a player input with the input asset, but then she goes over so much coding that i can't understand. i just want to access the axis of my created input joystick and be able to put it on cinemachine so i can rotate it around those axis, but she goes over quaternions, eulers and god knows what

[marble mesa]

In unity I'm trying have a 2d object rotate with a joystick, I already have set up a input action for it, how would I make that happen in script?

[austere grotto]

Maybe start here? https://learn.unity.com/project/using-the-input-system-in-unity

[simple obsidian]

What the input for screen pressed?

[inner hinge]

ive made a mouse look script but when i use a controller it continusly turns left```cs
public class MouseLook : MonoBehaviour
{

public float Xrotation = 0f;
public float mouseSensitivity = 1f;

public Transform playerTransform;
public void Update()
{
    float mouseX = Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * mouseSensitivity;
    float mouseY = Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") * mouseSensitivity;


    Xrotation -= mouseY;
    Xrotation = Mathf.Clamp(Xrotation, -90f, 90f);

    transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(Xrotation, 0f, 0f);
    playerTransform.Rotate(Vector3.up * mouseX);
}

}

ill send you the input manager


there are 2 each

[austere grotto]

You're not really going to get mouse input and joystick input to work with the same code like that

mouse axes report the delta of the mouse position

joystick reports how much the joystick is currently tilted

[inner hinge]

so how could i doo both?

[austere grotto]

I don't really understand what you're going for. I would expect the character to continuously turn as long as the joystick is held down

[inner hinge]

thats what i want

but it dosent work

it just turns left constantly

[frosty raft]

Debug.Log your controller
It could have drift

[inner hinge]

how would that work?

what would i log?

[frosty raft]

Whatever the input you're using to turn

Another trick is to just unplug the controller, if the turning stops it's probably your controller at fault

[austere grotto]

Why is your joystick axis also called "Mouse X"?

[inner hinge]

it dose that is whta im saying

[austere grotto]

that might be an issue too

[inner hinge]

ok

ill try that

[frosty raft]

So it does stop when you unplug the controller?
That's controller drift

[inner hinge]

how would that be fixed?

[frosty raft]

Increase the input's deadzone I guess

[inner hinge]

ok*

[frosty raft]

If that doesn't help you need a new controller

Or to recalibrate it

[inner hinge]

ok i set the dead zone to 1 and it still turns the same

ok i pluged a modded ps4 ctrler and it didnt work period

ill try a new normal ps4 ctrller

[finite citrus]

why does the new input system does not detect android inputs?

[glacial needle]

I've been searching for 2 days and haven't found a straight answer that actually works yet, how do i implement customizable controls (new system)??? Everything I've found doesn't work and/or is way too far beyond my current coding knowledge for me to try to make it work

[austere grotto]

Look into interactive rebinding in the new input system

[glacial needle]

yeah i did

[austere grotto]

there are some video tutorials floating around for it

[glacial needle]

can you link one that actually works then

[austere grotto]

If it's above your knowledge - not sure what to do. Maybe look into Rewired?

[glacial needle]

i already have the movement script and i cant restart it

[glacial needle]

whats that 👀

[glacial needle]

looked into it a little, price is a problem there unfortunately

[glacial needle]

i used unity's built in sample package for rebinding controls, nothing happens when i use it tho

it just shows up as a different key, maybe it remaps something but when i switch scenes to actually use it, it's gone

[mighty rain]

i am missing publishing settings

please help me

[finite citrus]

how do i fix my android input system please

[deft berry]

bruh you need to actually describe the problem, provide any errors, show code, etc. asking the same vague question 20 times is not going to get you anywhere

[finite citrus]

idk whats wrong too

because it was working fine before i installed the new input manager

i already tried switch to the old one but isntr working

[deft berry]

did you select your event system in the hierarchy and make sure to click the button to update it to the input system?

it will look like this

[finite citrus]

yea i did that

[deft berry]

okay then you will need to provide more context. nobody here is going to magically know what is going wrong with your stuff if you cannot provide any errors, relevant code, or really anything

[deft berry]

is it responding to mouse input in the game view? is it only happening when you test on an android device? please actually describe your issue

[finite citrus]

i didnt change any coding so

[deft berry]

so when you updated to the new input system you didn't actually update any of your code to work with the input system?

[finite citrus]

not really, how could i update it?

[deft berry]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.1/manual/Migration.html

[finite citrus]

thanks but where am i supposed to use this

[deft berry]

That information tells you which methods to switch to using if you are migrating from the old input to the new input system

[tame oracle]

SketchUp 2017:

Unity 2021:

How do i fix this lighting color changing thing? I mean it doesn't look the same

[timber robin]

@tame oracle What does this have to do with input?

The lighting and shading between Unity and sketch up are not going to be the same. You need to recreate the "look" in Unity as best as possible.

[tame oracle]

ohhh okah thank you!

[polar compass]

I'm tearing my hair out, There seems to be a million different ways to use the new input system, could anyone please link me a good tutorial to learn HOW to use it? To learn how it works, but necessarily how to make 2d/3d movement, but how it works

If that makes sense

[timber robin]

The one I found most helpful is the hour long talk on the Unity YouTube channel.

[zinc stump]

The package in the Package Manager has a button to import examples. They go in detail showing off three different ways to use it.

[timber robin]

You're right there's a lot of different ways to use it, which is a bit confusing. But also powerful. It took me a while to decide on the implementation that works best for my style of coding.

[polar compass]

Could you send me a link? I've looked at a few of them, but not sure which one you mean

[polar compass]

I'll look into it now!

[polar compass]

100% agree, I've looked up a bunch of different tutorials, but each of them use the system differently, which has thrown me off quite a bit. But glad I'm not the only one noticing it!

[finite citrus]

i have problem with my game, i want to rotate my cinemachine camera but this originates a problem that will cause my player to move and rotate the camera at the same time, how could i solve this issue? both movement and camera rotations are joystick so this is happening

[timber robin]

I'm on mobile so can't do right now. It was an hour long Unite talk I believe.

[polar compass]

Thanks, I'll see if i can find it, on their YT channel?

[polar compass]

Workflow Tips and Feature Integrations? 45 mins, sounds right? 😄

[timber robin]

Maybe. It had a Viking character.

[polar compass]

Yea, that's it then, thank you!

Active Input Handling, can i just put this on Both to avoid errors? Or should i force myself to use the new one?

Getting errors related to Conemachine

[zinc stump]

Some packages use Input system, I think they have settings to turn it off. But if you want to keep using both set it to both.

[finite citrus]

@timber robin can i ask this question in unity-talk? this channel is a bit inactive

[olive loom]

Dont setting to use both kind of have a big overhead?

[finite glen]

Doesn't setting it to use both have a big overhead?*

[zinc stump]

Have no idea about that. You can look this up online.

[finite citrus]

#🖱️┃input-system message

[austere grotto]

There's a component in Cinemachine to handle this. Leave it on New only and use the Cinemachine Input mapper or whatevre it's called

[austere grotto]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.cinemachine@2.6/manual/CinemachineAlternativeInput.html

[polar compass]

So if i post code, will the code be collapsed for others?

I've setup a very basic Vector2 movement in a 3d world, with a sprint option, and would love it if someone could have a quick look and let me know if im going in the right direction

I'm basically taking the V2, changing it into V3 (context.x, 0, context.y)

Multiply by movespeed/time.deltatime, and perform the move in an FixedUpdate method

And a button input checking context.performed (sets isSprinting = true), and contect.canceled sets isSprinting = false

And in my update, i check wether character is sprinting or not

I THINK I'm on the right track, but would love to get it confirmed de debunked ❤️

[timber robin]

That sounds right to me. Assuming you're using a rigidbody for the FixedUpdate.

[south void]

Been trying to make a simple jump button work with the new input system, but I can't get it to work, my button has the press interaction, then I read the value as context.performed because started doesn't work, but it keeps reading as true, so my player keeps jumping

[austere grotto]

why use the press interaction?

[south void]

I thought that's how it's supposed to work

I just want it so that just pressing it at that moment enables a bool, then disables it afterwards

[south void]

it says on the docs that you can use the Press interaction to detect it

UnityEngine.input.GetButtonDown
See UnityEngine.Input.GetAxis for how to set up a binding to a button or axis. You can use the Press interaction to detect when a button is pressed.

[south void]

I switched it to ButtonControl, still doesn't work

[south void]

I don't even know why it's not working as intended, it's set to Invoke Unity Events here, and it's called as is above

wasPressedThisFrame doesn't get set to false even if it's not that frame

[austere grotto]

You don't need to use any interaction. The default interaction works fine

[austere grotto]

Check cs if (context.started) { isJumping = true; }

No need to check the InputControl

Press interaction is only if you want to customize how it detects the press

[south void]

I only want to detect it being pressed once, and then disable it straight away

[austere grotto]

yes, later in your code you will say:

if (isJumping) {
  isJumping = false;
  // do the jump
}```

[south void]

I feel like there's a better way to do this, but I'll try it I guess, I swear I've done this before, but I don't have the project that has it

I used InputControl because wasPressedThisFrame sounds exactly like what I'm looking for @austere grotto

[austere grotto]

I understand that but started does the same thing and it's control agnostic

And it obeys the configuration rules of your input action

[south void]

not sure how to deal with this all honestly, since my player has states

[austere grotto]

States responding to input events is like the textbook paradigm for state machines.

Each state, it should have a defined response to each input event

[south void]

so, disable my jumping bool as my idle goes to jump?

[austere grotto]

for example If you're in the standing state, and you receive a jump input - you should transition to the jumping state

just an example

[neon needle]

    {
        if(Input.GetButtonDown("Oculus_CrossPlatform_PrimaryIndexTrigger"))
        {
            Debug.Log("P Index trigger pressed");
            FirePortal(0, leftController.gameObject.transform.position, leftController.gameObject.transform.forward, 250.0f);
        }
        else if (Input.GetButtonDown("Oculus_CrossPlatform_SecondaryIndexTrigger"))
        {
            Debug.Log("S Index trigger pressed");
            FirePortal(1, rightController.gameObject.transform.position, rightController.gameObject.transform.forward, 250.0f);
        }
    }``` i never get any output. any idea what im doing wrong?

[austere grotto]

Those button names are not correct I guess?

Did you set those buttons up in your input manager?

[neon needle]

yeah

they get auto created by something else i dont know what

some oculus stuff probably lol

[austere grotto]

Put a debug.log outside of the if statements

make sure your Update() is actually running

[neon needle]

i cant even spell spam smh

[austere grotto]

triple check that your button names are correct

[neon needle]

is it ok that some bindings have no button assigned and only an axis

actually wait its not really a button its aqn axis so would i have to have a loop that checks the value of the trigger

[austere grotto]

idk about a loop but you can check like ```cs
if (Input.GetAxisRaw("Oculus_CrossPlatform_SecondaryIndexTrigger") > 0.5f) {

}``` or whatever threshold you want to check

[neon needle]

i just changed it to that and will check if ti works after the battery charges, thx

Has anyone had any issues reading input from the InputSystem in DOTS? Particularly using buttons? I'm having the strangest problem with it, where I'll miss frames where .triggered is true. I switched to using the old Input and my code runs fine so I'm pretty sure its InputSystem.
It occasionally works, which is part of the strangeness.

[austere grotto]

What input behavior are you trying to accomplish and what does your code look like?

[exotic root]

Attempting to read a button press just to jump

There is the input system (just using the "Fire" button to jump for now)

    // Get an instance of the InputSystem

        base.OnCreate();

        // Create Singleton Entities for each Action Map
        EntityManager.CreateEntity(typeof(PlayerInput));
        
    }

    protected override void OnUpdate()
    {
        
        // Populate input components with input data

        if (HasSingleton<PlayerInput>())
        {
            if (!_input.Player.enabled)
            {
                _input.Player.Enable();
            }
            var playerInput = new PlayerInput
            {
                Move = _input.Player.Move.ReadValue<Vector2>(),
                Look = _input.Player.Look.ReadValue<Vector2>(),
                Fire = _input.Player.Fire.triggered
            };
            SetSingleton(playerInput);
        }
        else
        {
            if (_input.Player.enabled)
            {
                _input.Player.Disable();
            }
....

Here is the code where I read from the InputSystem

Let me know if you'd like to see the rest of the code in that file

public class PlayerMovementSystem : SystemBase
{
    protected override void OnUpdate()
    {
        
        PlayerInput playerInput = GetSingleton<PlayerInput>();
        
        Entities.WithAll<PlayerTag>().ForEach((ref CharacterController characterController) =>
        {

            float movementX = playerInput.Move.x;
            float movementZ = playerInput.Move.y;
            
            if (!MathUtils.IsZero(movementX) || !MathUtils.IsZero(movementZ))
            {
                characterController.CurrentDirection = new Vector3(movementX, 0.0f, movementZ).normalized;
                characterController.CurrentMagnitude = true ? 1.5f : 1.0f;
            }
            else
            {
                characterController.CurrentMagnitude = 0.0f;
            }

            characterController.Jump = playerInput.Fire;

        }).ScheduleParallel();
        
    }
}

And here is where I read from the playerInput singleton and apply it to the charactercontroller of the player

When I swap characterController.Jump = playerInput.Fire with characterController.Jump = Input.GetButton("Fire") or something similar (I got rid of the code so that may not look exactly right) jumping worked fine, but otherwise the jumping only works occasionally/randomly;

Movement works fine with InputSystem so I'm assuming its something to do with the Action Type Button

[austere grotto]

I would recommend not using the Press interaction. it's only there for customizing the press point basically

[exotic root]

Thanks, I actually just added that to see if it would fix the problem

I'd been having the issue before without Press

I'll get rid of it now tho

[austere grotto]

Also try:

Fire = _input.Player.Fire.ReadValue<float>() > 0```

[exotic root]

whoooaaaaa

i think that worked

yes i think its good now

tyvm

was using .triggered not the right way to do this?

[austere grotto]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.0/api/UnityEngine.InputSystem.InputAction.html?q=InputAction#UnityEngine_InputSystem_InputAction_triggered
triggered is more like Input.GetButtonDown

if you check the docs

Whether the action was triggered (i.e. had performed called) this frame.

[exotic root]

Yeah is that not what I wanted? I thought that made sense

[austere grotto]

You have Input.GetButton("Fire")

that's true every frame as long as it's held down

idk is that not what you want?

[exotic root]

Ah yeah I probably meant GetButtonDown

i mean it works so I'm happy haha

[austere grotto]

🤔

hmm

[exotic root]

I just wanted to read the frame the button was pressed

And have that make the char jump

[austere grotto]

You could also try:
Fire = _input.Player.Fire.phase == InputActionPhase.started

I'm not super familiar with DOTS but is OnUpdate guaranteed to run every frame?

[exotic root]

that also seems to work fine

hmm i believe so

i'm also new, this is all just me experimenting tbh

i wasn't expecting to get stuck so early tho hahaha

[austere grotto]

ok - the started phase thing should be more like GetButtonDown and checking if ReadValue > 0 should be more like GetButton

[exotic root]

makes sense

Issue is fixed so I'm happy, thanks again

[austere grotto]

np

[exotic root]

any idea why .triggered wasn't working?

[austere grotto]

Not really... I actually would rexpect it to work. But sometimes the rules about when an action is performed are kinda strange

but started is pretty consistently when you first start actuating the control

so...

¯_(ツ)_/¯

what binding do you have set up?

Space key?

[exotic root]

left mouse button

i'll try space key rn

same issue when i switch to space

[austere grotto]

idk - but it's working with the started phase thing?

[exotic root]

yes

[austere grotto]

cool

[exotic root]

so i'm happy, was just curious

appreciate the help

[austere grotto]

[abstract jasper]

Has anyone been able to get local splitscreen with per-player UI working with the new input system?

[digital narwhal]

Yes, the entity query that matches will guarantee to run OnUpdate each frame. Actually it runs more frequently than the legacy Update event on MonoBehaviour

[digital narwhal]

I use InputSystem with DOTS, it works perfect. .triggered will run ONLY one time (one frame) the moment the button passes the press threshold, and that's it. If you want to know if the button is being 'held' down in any given frame, you'll want .ReadValue instead.

For DOTS, depending on what I need, I have it setup like this:
var playerPrimary = input.Player.Primary.triggered;
var playerWantsPrimary = input.Player.Primary.ReadValue<float>() >= InputSystem.InputSettings.defaultButtonPressPoint;

[olive loom]

is enabling/disabling an input system action map actually this expensive?

[nimble garnet]

I'm messing around with a piece of code that I found that's meant to vary the height of your jump based on how long you press the button for. My only problem is that the code is written with the Unity's old input system and I'm trying to transfer it over to the new system.
Here's the original code:

if (rb.velocity.y < 0)
        {
            rb.AddForce(gravity * fallMultiplier, ForceMode.Acceleration);
        }
        else if (rb.velocity.y > 0 && !Input.GetButton("Jump"))
        {
            rb.AddForce(gravity * lowJumpMultiplier, ForceMode.Acceleration);
        }
        else
        {
            rb.AddForce(gravity, ForceMode.Acceleration);
        }
 }```
And here's what I have:
I have two scripts: PlayerController and JumpModifier.
PlayerController has:
```cs
    [SerializeField] public bool jumpButtonRelease;

public void Jump(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
    {
        if (isGrounded)
        {
            jumpRequest = true;
        }

        if (context.canceled)
        {
            jumpButtonRelease = true;
        }
}```
JumpModifier has:
```cs
[SerializeField] private float fallMultiplier = 2.5f;
    [SerializeField] private float lowJumpMultiplier = 2f;
    private float gravityScale = 1f;
    private float globalGravity = -9.81f;

void FixedUpdate()
    {
        Vector3 gravity = globalGravity * gravityScale * Vector3.up;

        if (rb.velocity.y < 0)
        {
            rb.AddForce(gravity * fallMultiplier, ForceMode.Acceleration);
        }
        else if (rb.velocity.y > 0 && playerController.jumpButtonRelease)
        {
            rb.AddForce(gravity * lowJumpMultiplier, ForceMode.Acceleration);
            playerController.jumpButtonRelease = false;
        }
        else
        {
            rb.AddForce(gravity, ForceMode.Acceleration);
        }
    }```

I thought that this would work but unfortunately it doesn't. From what I've gathered so far, when I used Debug.Log on jumpButtonRelease in FixedUpdate, it seemed like jumpButtonRelease only became true if you hold the jump button for long enough. So in the end, the player never does a short jump because jumpButtonRelease doesn't become true fast enough. Help would be appreciated. Either by fixing this or pointing me to a way where I can do short jumps with the new input system. I tried finding methods to this with the new input system, but no dice.

[nimble garnet]

Also based on the Migrate from Old Input System guide, the isPressed property seems like it could work but I can't quite figure out how to use it with the code that I have.

[olive loom]

What am i doing wrong? This is some insane performance hit for the new input system

Not even sure which part is actually doing this, just that it involves the mouse

[austere grotto]

No but creating one from the generated code file might be. It does a bunch of JSON parsing etc

[olive loom]

Its technically already created at startup?

im just enabling/disabling the player maps while in the menu

[tidal jackal]

Hey guys I have installed rewired and I have used it and it works, my ds4 controller works perfectly.
It doesn't work in the build on mobile thought.
Pls help me
I have tried unity remote too, on pc it works, on mobile it doesn't

Idk if this is the right channel to ask but I am not understanding why on mobile it seems like not registering input

Ping me whenever you want to help me

[dense ridge]

what is the axis for right stick in untiy 2020

for joystick

[uncut creek]

hey, trying to get my menu working with the new input system, but I'm feeling a bit stuck. I added an InputSystemUIInputModule to my event system, and assigned it the player controls asset that has the UI controls mapped, but nothings working other than my mouse. not seeming to get any navigation events from keyboard or gamepad

[austere grotto]

Does it work with the default InputActionAsset for UI?

(the one that's preconfigured on the module)?

[uncut creek]

nope 🙁

ok well I just removed the whole even system and made a new one, and now it works 😅 must have screwed something up along the way. thanks for the help

[plucky flint]

Using new unity input system.
I have a Player Input component that handles all player input for non-UI actions. And the eventSystem's "Input System UI Input Module"
The "Fire" button and the "Submit" button are the same keybind. The Fire button opens the menu, but then instantly clicks the selected button. This happens even if the UI Input Module is disbabled when the fire button is pressed. Has anyone seen this and know why this is happening?

[austere grotto]

Yeah I've seen this before.

my workaround is to alternately enable/disable the action maps as needed.

Only enable the UI action map when you open the menu

I think I may have even done something where I waited one frame after opening the menu before enabling the UI action map

[plucky flint]

Is the UI action map enabled while the UI input module is disabled?

[austere grotto]

They are independent

[plucky flint]

Ah, then that may be a simple fix. I thought disabling the UI input module would disable input... Let me try that

[tender folio]

playerControlsMap.Land.Move.ReadValue<float>();```Gives me the normalized value, so roughly the same functionality as `Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal")`. How do I get the same functionality as the non-normalized version, `Input.GetAxis("Horizontal")`?

[austere grotto]

GetAxisRaw vs GetAxis is not about normalized vs not normalized

GetAxis performs smoothing

[tender folio]

Yeah I noticed that

I'm doing my own smoothing now :p

Do you know any ways to smooth though?

[austere grotto]

Just use MoveTowards basically

have a separate float axisValue variable that you MoveTowards the actual input value

[tender folio]

That would mean I also smooth vertical velocity though

[austere grotto]

?

I'm talking about the input value

[tender folio]

It's a 2d platformer

[austere grotto]

Actual Input value -> feeds into your smoothed input value -> feeds into whatever you do with the input value

[tender folio]

Oh, cause I'm smoothing velocity now

[austere grotto]

that's different

[tender folio]

Well then I guess I should ask, do you know any ways to simulate acceleration?

[austere grotto]

do you know how acceleration works?

[tender folio]

I mean I know some people literally just increment the velocity until it reaches a certain max limit

[austere grotto]

that's how acceleration works basically so yeah

[tender folio]

Isn't that too linear though?

[austere grotto]

is it?

up to you

you can use any easing function you want

[tender folio]

Alright

[austere grotto]

THere's SmoothDamp

or get something like DOTween which offers 85 different easing functions or whatever

and do as you please

[tender folio]

playerControlsMap.Land.Jump.triggered```How do I get this, but for if the player is holding the button?

triggered seems to only return true the frame the player pressed the button.

[austere grotto]

listen to the started and canceled events

set a bool to true in started

false in canceled

[tender folio]

Alright

[austere grotto]

or do : playerControlsMap.Land.Jump.ReadValue<float>() != 0

[tender folio]

Oh I like that better, thanks :)

[whole solar]

Hi i wasnt sure if this was the place to ask this, but is ther a way to change the input to scroll through a scroll rect? i know of pc is default to scroll wheel or click and drag but i want to set it to scroll with a custom input. is this posible?

[austere grotto]

it comes from your Input Module

whatever axis or InputAction is set there

[whole solar]

okay.. do you mean in input manager?

[austere grotto]

No

I mean the InputModule component

usually it's on your Event System GameObject

[whole solar]

ohhh. ill look

thanks

[slate jetty]

Hello, i'd like to know if there's an alternative implementation of UnityEngine.Input.simulateMouseWithTouches with the New Input System, as there's no corresponding API yet, how can I have this behaviour using the new input system ?

[tidal jackal]

Does new input system supports dualshock 4?

[tidal jackal]

I know it doesnt support usb wireless adaptor but does it supports bluetooth?

[misty locust]

It supports dualshock4, I don’t know about bluetooth though. I think it should.

[leaden sequoia]

i think it does as long as you use DS4 windows, i guess

[misty locust]

“We do not support the "DualShock 4 USB Wireless Adaptor" to connect a PlayStation controller to a desktop machine. Use USB or Bluetooth to connect it.”
Okay they do support it.

Not sure about dualsense though, I wanted to know about that. My dualsense just gives wrong input in game except leftstick 😐

[tidal jackal]

how about on mobile?

[fringe veldt]

Hey I need some help regarding input system on games for my project. Pls dm me I'll appreciate it very much

[timber robin]

This discord is for asking questions, not for finding personal help. You can ask your question and if anyone can answer, they will.

[fringe veldt]

Ok thx for telling actually im new here

[open breach]

What is this channel? Its Input.Getkey gang?

[neat marten]

It's old and new Input System 🙂

[west oracle]

lol, i like how you put that.

[tidal jackal]

does rewired can be used on unity remote too?

or I have to do a build?

basically I am using my dualshock 4 connected to my phone (bluetooth) connected via usb to my pc

doesn't seem to work

altought it works perfectly when ds4 is connected to pc

[somber bluff]

I'm creating a local multiplayer game using the new Input System.

I'd like a shared main menu where anyone can change the selected button. Followed by a character select screen whereby each player chooses their own character settings.

I can get multiple inputs mapped to 4 different sets of buttons on the screen. But I cannot figure out how to have a shared UI... anyone else come across this?

[tidal jackal]

ok I did the build

but rewired doesnt work

on mobile

I am using the ds4 but on mobile it doesnt work

but It works fine on editor

[tidal jackal]

make 4 UIs overlap

[somber bluff]

So rather than one start and exit button? I'd have 4 sitting on top of each other? Surely it would just show whoever sits on top

[tidal jackal]

yeah

maybe you could disable rendering for 3 out of 4

so maybe it works but you dont see them (to improve performance)

idk there is surely a better way

[somber bluff]

yea, because that way you're gonna have each player selecting different buttons on their own unrendered canvas

it's a pain in the ass, been trying to figure this out 3 or so days now

[tidal jackal]

and still I can't use cross to jump

in the editor it works

[slow crest]

does anyone know how to have an anolog stick control an object on a canvas? its currently controlling the object but it resets its position when i let go of the stick. i want the object to always be traveling additivly across the canvas (retaining its position)

[tidal jackal]

@slow crest maybe you can make a sort of "record" or maybe you save the position of the joystick in the last 2 frames, if it the stick gets close to the center really fast you block the stick

[slow crest]

@tidal jackal i hav already tried that. there should be a simpler way

[tidal jackal]

I am not sure of a simpler way but did you really tried that?

[slow crest]

yeah, it doesnt work becasue what if i want to move the stick back to the center slowly? it wont return the corect vector2 value i need @tidal jackal

[tidal jackal]

it should

[tidal jackal]

btw https://guavaman.com/projects/rewired/docs/Troubleshooting.html (first script) for the code I used to debug

[slow crest]

how would you do it? or do you know of a link

[tidal jackal]

idk

I have done something similiar for my game tho

but instead with momentum

its a weird story of how I implemented a mechanic...

[slow crest]

@tidal jackal im just trying to translate an image across the screen uning the joystick and/or the mouse position at the same time

[tidal jackal]

oooh i know how to

you can create a fake mouse

[slow crest]

already did that

[tidal jackal]

instead of doing something like mouse_pos = get.axis
you can do mouse_pos += get.axis

[slow crest]

the problem is that the fake mouse needs to control the real mouse position as well as the image. and the mouse position needs to controll the fake mouse and the image at the same time. they clash

[tidal jackal]

you dont have to worry about the stick going back

[tidal jackal]

i dont think thats a problem

[slow crest]

how though?

how do i have two things control eachothers values?

thats like asking you to pick yourself up off the ground. its justy physically impossible

[tidal jackal]

//C#
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
[DllImport("user32.dll")]
static extern bool SetCursorPos(int X, int Y);
int xPos = 30, yPos = 1000;
SetCursorPos(xPos,yPos);//Call this when you want to set the mouse position

idk what this is

i copy pasted

[slow crest]

ok better question. @tidal jackal do you know how to change the mouse position without moving the mouse

[tidal jackal]

but should work

[tidal jackal]

//C#
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
[DllImport("user32.dll")]
static extern bool SetCursorPos(int X, int Y);
int xPos = 30, yPos = 1000;
SetCursorPos(xPos,yPos);//Call this when you want to set the mouse position

[slow crest]

oh i see

i don't understand the three middle lines of code and why they are necissary

[tidal jackal]

also ik nobody cares because this is a unity server but in python its
import pyautogui

pyautogui.move(100,100)

[tidal jackal]

me neither but it should work

I think first you immport namespace then a dll and then a bool from dll that makes everything work

[slow crest]

@tidal jackal im not a fan of copy pasting code into my project. there has to be a better solution

thanks for the help, i'll continue fighting my way through this

[tidal jackal]

yeah there is always a better way but its not worth wasting 20 hours finding the best solution that will save a quarter of millisecond off a frame

[slow crest]

@tidal jackal im not looking for fast response time. im looking for a clean way to write the code

[slow crest]

you should see my scripts, you'll shit your pants with how clean it is

[tidal jackal]

definetely but if to make the code cleaner you put a getcomponent<>() in the update void just to make it look "cleaner" its useless

[slow crest]

what? thats a horrible idea

[slow crest]

complete opposite of what clean code means

Clean code does not mean "less" code

[tidal jackal]

to anyone who wants to help me here is my question, also I didn't specify that I have this error:
Autoconnected Player Rewired: [ERROR] ControllerDataFiles is missing critical data! The serialized data may have been corrupted. Please see the Known Issues in the documentation for possible causes and solutions.

[tidal jackal]

you're right

[tidal jackal]

debugging code if it's interesting

pls somebody help me

[slow crest]

@tidal jackal ok so i figured out half of it just now, all i need to do is convert the mousposition value to a additive value i think?

[tidal jackal]

Yes

[slow crest]

@tidal jackal ok i actually figured it out with only 4 lines of code lmao

its done

[tidal jackal]

So that for example axis is negative mouse pos was 800 += axis (-1) * sensivity

[tidal jackal]

Nice

[worn cape]

is there a list that shows what to type in code if i want to get input from (spacebar) or (the letter g) or (right mouse click)

[glad trail]

    private void Update() {
        var input = Input.inputString;
        if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(input))
            Debug.Log("Pressed char " + input);
            switch (input){
                case "q":
                    Debug.Log("Q Logic");
                    break;
                default:
                break;
            }

    }

using this to process input, is there an article on the best practises? this doesnt account for cases like mouse buttons or spacebars

[austere grotto]

no Idea, this code doesn't move anything

[quaint plume]

ok well the project is using final ik maybe that is doing it?

[austere grotto]

no idea. It's definitely related to however you're moving the character, and this script is only part of that

how are you taking these input values and moving the character?

[quaint plume]

i have no idea i found this project on a website for unity tutorials and im just trying to learn from it

[austere grotto]

Well the first place I'd look is to do a "Find All References" on the public properties in this script like Forward

that should take you to the script that actually moves the player

assuming that script actually uses the input data from this one

[quaint plume]

ok well i got a lot of results

maybe this is it its got the vector3 stuff in it

[austere grotto]

Do you know what "IK" is?

[quaint plume]

not really

[austere grotto]

It's "Inverse Kinematics". It's a technique to line up a character's appendages with things they are holding or reaching for or standing on or otherwise interacting with

It generally is not directly related to movement

[quaint plume]

oh ok so i need to not look in the stuff related to "IK".

[austere grotto]

You should be looking for a script called something like "Player Controller" "Player Movement" "Character Movement"

something along those lines

[quaint plume]

nothing with those names

[austere grotto]

Idk - without seeing the projetct I'm shooting in the dark here and it seems so are you

Maybe start by looking at the scripts that are attached to the player?

[quaint plume]

was just about to send a pic of that lol

and there's nothing ive not looked in before so

[austere grotto]

"Locomotion"

does that word mean anything to you?

[quaint plume]

i mean not really im stupid

[austere grotto]

it's what you're looking for

[quaint plume]

oh ok well if i send the script can you tell me why i can only use S and D to move the player but that arrow keys work fine

[austere grotto]

maybe

[austere grotto]

although when you describe it this way it seems more likely to be a problem with your Input Manager settings

[quaint plume]

ok but i don't see anything in the Input Manager that would help me although i am stupid so maybe

[austere grotto]

Look at the "Horizontal" and "Vertical" axes and see what keys are bound to them

[quaint plume]

what one the player game object?

[austere grotto]

no, in the input manager

Proejct Settings -> Input Manager

[quaint plume]

oh that one i got a script with that name ok let me check

got it thanks

[tidal jackal]

My question

[tidal jackal]

.

[hexed needle]

hello everyone, is it possible to export a package of a scene including the input system?🤔

[harsh narwhal]

Is there a way to totally disable the input system, like during a transition?

[austere grotto]

Either disable the entire InputActionAsset you're using or disable whatever ActionMaps you need

[harsh narwhal]

thank

[whole scroll]

How can I get the position on Press action?

[austere grotto]

the position of what

[whole scroll]

the press

[austere grotto]

The press of what

a press interaction can be on literally any input action

[whole scroll]

For example the press of a primary touch

[austere grotto]

Ok so touch position

[whole scroll]

yeah, or mouse

[austere grotto]

You'd make an InputAction that is bound to pointer position

and read the current value of that action with pointerPositionAction.ReadValue<Vector2>()

[whole scroll]

i mean i do right now but it's kind of state-machine-ish

cause i have to wait for the position event to come first before i know where he pressed

or does position come first, i wouldn't think so

[austere grotto]

you can read the current value of the action at any time

the entire input asset is refreshed at the same time

[whole scroll]

So when the Input Action Press is called, would the Position action hold the right value?

[austere grotto]

yes

[whole scroll]

cool

[quaint plume]

anyone know why this script is not working i have all the ground objects tags set just not working ```c
//jump script for a 3d object
//attach script to player

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

//make sure you save the script as "playerJump"
public class playerJump : MonoBehaviour {

//variables that are set
Rigidbody player; //allows what rigidbody the player will be
private float jumpForce = 1000f; //how much force you want when jumping
private bool onGround; //allows the functions to determine whether player is on the ground or not


//the first thing to happen at runtime
void Start() {
    //grabs the Rigidbody from the player
    player = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
    //says that the player is on the ground at runtime
    onGround = true;
}

//checks every frome if the parameters are met to start the function
void Update() {
    //checks if the player is on the ground when the "Jump" button is pressed
    if (Input.GetButton("Jump") && onGround == true) {
        //adds force to player on the y axis by using the flaot set for the variable jumpForce. Causes the player to jump
        player.velocity = new Vector3(0f, jumpForce, 0f);
        //says the player is no longer on the ground
        onGround = false;
    }
}

//checks if player has hit a collider
void OnCollisionEnter(Collision other) {
    //checks if collider is tagged "ground"
    if (other.gameObject.CompareTag("ground")) {
        //if the collider is tagged "ground", sets onGround boolean to true
        onGround = true;
    }
}

}

[austere grotto]

define "not working"

What are you expecting to happen, and what is happening instead?

[quaint plume]

nothing is happening at all the player has the script and when i press space nothing happens and this time it is the right keys in the input manager

[austere grotto]

I'd guess then that your OnCollisionEnter is not running, or if it runs, the objct you collided with is not tagged properly

first step - Add some Debug.Logs

    void OnCollisionEnter(Collision other) {
        Debug.Log($"OnCollisionEnter called. We collided with {other.name} which has tag {other.tag}");
        //checks if collider is tagged "ground"
        if (other.gameObject.CompareTag("ground")) {
            //if the collider is tagged "ground", sets onGround boolean to true
            onGround = true;
        }
    }```

that's the first one I'd add - look for that in the console and see what's going on

I'd also add one here to make sure the jump code is running:

        if (Input.GetButton("Jump") && onGround == true) {
            Debug.Log($"Ok we're jumping now!");
            //adds force to player on the y axis by using the flaot set for the variable jumpForce. Causes the player to jump
            player.velocity = new Vector3(0f, jumpForce, 0f);```

[quaint plume]

ok ill give this a try

?

ok fixed that error but now its saying im jumping but the player doesn't move

[austere grotto]

• Do you have another script that is also controlling the rigidbody?
• Do you have any constraints on the rigidbody's position?

[quaint plume]

my Locomotion script i think is controlling the rigidbody

[austere grotto]

yes this script is overwriting the player's veloict every physics frame, so it will just overwrite whatever your jumping script does

[quaint plume]

would you be able to add the jump script into that file for me as i don't know how i did try but got really confused

[olive loom]

How do i detect if its a controller being used or a mouse?

[hearty lance]

its not tracking my mouse delta for some reason, even when moving the trackpad, any reason why this would be?

[austere grotto]

what is "it" that is not tracking?

[hearty lance]

im using player input script for unity events and im using a look function with that takes the mouse delta as an input, but even when debugging at the very beginning of the void it just doesnt run

[austere grotto]

• How is the Input Action configured? (Value/Vector2 for example)?
• What is the name of the action?
• What is the signature of your function?
• What action map is the action in?
• What's the default action map of the PlayerInput

[teal yacht]

Does anyone have a tutorial, article, or reference that I can follow to understand how to create a controller/input device key binding using the new unity input system? (say I want to allow the player to change JUMP from south button to R)

[austere grotto]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.0/manual/Actions.html#creating-actions

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.0/manual/ActionBindings.html#runtime-rebinding

[teal yacht]

awesome thanks - runtime rebinding is what I was looking for

[subtle moat]

hello im using the new input system, im trying to do a hold button sprint, whats the action for that? e.g sprintControl.action.(?)

as far as i know .triggered is when the button is pressed, is there one where when the button is being held?

[austere grotto]

sprintControl.action.ReadValue<float>() != 0

[subtle moat]

thanks! : )

[hearty lance]

i started using the new input system and everything was working great until i realized that now for some reason the character controller only moves the player by the world position rather than local position, any help with this would be appreciated

[rustic plume]

you can set playerVariable.transform.localPosition instead of playerVariable.transform.position

@hearty lance

[hearty lance]

public void Update()
{
controller.SimpleMove(PlayerMove * playerSpeed);
}

public void Move(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
{
Vector2 move = context.ReadValue<Vector2>();

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

[rustic plume]

oh i see

[hearty lance]

thats the movement

[rustic plume]

well you can use its world position plus an offset to effectively change its local position

[hearty lance]

any examples on how to do that..?

[rustic plume]

like Vector2.move = transform.position + context.ReadValue<Vector2>();

so offsetting it from its world position by the input amount which i assume is what context.readvalue is

idk if that would work any differently it probably wouldn't now that i think about it

[hearty lance]

i hate that it went from local to global just because i switched input systems

[hearty lance]

figured it out, thanks for the help though!

void Update()
{
controller.Move(transform.TransformDirection(PlayerMove) +
Physics.gravity * playerSpeed);
}

void Move()
{
Vector2 move = context.ReadValue<Vector2>();

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

}

[austere grotto]

Glad you figured out your issue, but old input system vs new input system shouldn't have made any difference. Neither input system is aware of the direction your player is facing. CharacterController always deals with world positions

[cobalt mason]

Would it be possible to assign scroll wheel +/- to the same input as dpad up/down? I'm having no luck so far

[storm hearth]

i downloaded the new input system but then regretted it and removed it. how do i switch back to the input manager?

nvm found solution (project settings, player, active input system)

[flat raft]

Just tested a WebGL build using the new Input System, and IMGUI buttons don't seem to be recognized. Changing to the old input system, the buttons works as normal. Any tips as to why?

[austere grotto]

Did you update your Input Module on your Event System?

New Input system uses its own input module

[flat raft]

Yep. As seen in the clip, the white button works just fine, issue is with the IMGUI buttons

The exact same setup works just fine in a windows build too

[austere grotto]

Would seem to be a bug then 🤔

Heres a thread about the opposite (not working in a windows build) which presumably was fixed: https://forum.unity.com/threads/imgui-input-in-builds.737642/

[flat raft]

was afraid someone was going to say that 😅

Thanks for the info

[worthy phoenix]

Does anyone know how to get a Playstation 5 controller to be recognised properly by Unity?

[glass yacht]

I'd love to know how you're meant to multiply just joystick input by deltaTime when using it in combination with mouse input for a look action. Where of course the mouse portion of the input does not need to be scaled.

The docs have an example that does not do it

and just says "You can write code that is agnostic to where the input is coming from", yahuh, I could write something broken

I imagine you could write a processor that scales by deltaTime and only apply it to the joystick?

[novel lance]

Hello im using Unity 2018.3.8f1 and my player character suddenly stopped being able to look up and down. I imported images from a different project to use as sprites for a UI but that was all. I restarted Unity but that didnt fix it. Would anyone have any suggestions for how to fix this? (For now I cant switch out of 2018.3.8 to the newer engines)

[wild orchid]

Hello everyone 🖐️ , i wanted to ask something

at the moment I am trying to learn the new input system. I would like to know if you use the component "Player Input" or if you use the C# auto generated class, and why

I'm a bit lost at the moment and clearly there are 30 different ways to use it, I prefer to ask for help

[hazy jetty]

hi all

i can not get my public void to show up as a input action, how come?

does not show in the dropdown

[glass yacht]

https://help.vertx.xyz/?page=Interface/Unity Events/Method Requirements

[hazy jetty]

ok wtf?

[glass yacht]

Look at your event system

[hazy jetty]

got it

Also is UIInputs a reserved keyword?

[deft burrow]

How would I be able to get the value of this callback context?

            
            if(value.phase == InputActionPhase.Started){
                Debug.Log(value);        }        }```

I'm trying to get the -1 from this debug.log

[glass yacht]

is it not value.value?

Or, value.ReadValue<int>(); perhaps

[deft burrow]

ill try it out

Debug.Log(value.ReadValue<int>());
Doesnt work unfortauntely

[hazy jetty]

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.InputSystem;

public class UIInputs : MonoBehaviour
{

    public void StartGame(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
    {
        Debug.Log("You pressed start! Good girl!");
    }
}

is my code not right

?

[glass yacht]

What's appearing in the functions list?

[hazy jetty]

No Function

Mono Script

[glass yacht]

Then you should have continued down my website

and gotten to this page https://help.vertx.xyz/?page=Interface/Unity Events/Incorrect Assignment

[hazy jetty]

hmm

[glass yacht]

is it saying what value it expects to be read?

[deft burrow]

nope im just getting a syntax error

so i want to get the factor value here

[hazy jetty]

well that did something

but when i press Start nothing happens

What would cause that part?

ill watch this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHC-6I_LSos

later, sleep well

[frigid ridge]

Just using the player input with Unity events seems like a reasonable approach to get the most out of the new input system for the least amount of effort. You can always dig deeper into how PlayerInput, PlayerInputManager etc. are put together to build your own high level layer if need be.

[hazy jetty]

all good now 😄

[trim shadow]

How can i make the mouse delta from the new input system deterministic i tried multiplying by delta time on update but it doest work it is sometimes slow and sometimes fast, same if i dont multiply by delta time

[ocean jacinth]

Got a question I am finding it very difficult to get an answer to. I know I could just use the default gamepad for my new input system bindings but if I'm planning on making this cross platform, I should use specific button mappings... so my issue is the nintendo switch. The input system has to option for pro controller mapping but will that mapping also work for joycons?

[vital prawn]

anyone else experience lag time during play mode startup before the input system accepts input? I see it consistently, about 1-5 seconds

[delicate burrow]

Editor? Might just be the editor compile time

[vital prawn]

yeah, i can't recall if i also see it in builds. but i was not experiencing it when i was using the old input module

[delicate burrow]

oh then dont know. by editor compilation lag it would have been same for both.

[brazen crater]

not sure what channel to put this in, so Ill put it here. I want to turn up my Camera's far clipping plane to be able to see a larger area of my map, but when I rotate my camera using a script while the clipping plane is set to a higher number, it becomes laggy (it skips a few pixels when turning every second or so)
