I only changed the value from 1000 to 2000

rustic plume
#

is seeing more of the map absolutely necessary

brazen crater
rustic plume
#

ohh i see

#

that would be cool

#

check the stats panel and see if the jumpy camera is due to low frame rate or something else

#

it’s at the top right in the game window when you press play

brazen crater
#

Im running at like 220-230 fps

rustic plume
#

huh

#

are you moving the camera in fixed update?

brazen crater
#

nope

rustic plume
#

what are you using for your rotation code

#

send the line

brazen crater
# 
        float mouseX = Input.GetAxisRaw("Mouse X") * mouseSens * Time.deltaTime;
        float mouseY = Input.GetAxisRaw("Mouse Y") * mouseSens * Time.deltaTime;

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

        camera.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(xRot, 0f, 0f);
        transform.Rotate(Vector3.up * mouseX);
#

thats called in update

#

stole it from Brackeys

#

xRot is a float that is only changed in the lines I sent

rustic plume
#

maybe it’s jumpy bc your mouse is jumpy idk

#

if your mouse skips on the table your code will make the camera skip

brazen crater
#

Thats what I was thinking, but bumping my far clipping plane even more, it looks even more jumpy
Edit: actually I might be wrong about that

glass yacht
#

You should not multiply mouse input by deltaTime

rustic plume
#

try using lerp maybe?

rustic plume
glass yacht
#

Brackey's tutorial made that mistake, and he silently corrected it later on, and we get people continually posting here with the incorrect code 😦

brazen crater
#

ill try that

rustic plume
#

oof

#

if removing deltatime doesn’t work try lerping it

brazen crater
#

nope that seems to have fixed it

#

thanks guys, really appreciate it

Does anybody know what's happening with the first screenshot's EventSystem? I get a bunch of warnings saying how the EventSystem's script is missing, but this is only a problem in this particular scene; all the other scenes (from what I understand) use the same EventSystem and have no issues.

Hi all. I'm trying to use the new input system to switch between action maps. I have player movement in the gameworld, and want to switch to a UI based action map at a specific point. switchactionmap command seems to work, I can debug and see it was changed, but UI controls still don't work. Wondering If anyone has links to any tutorials related to switching action maps. Would be greatly appreciated

marsh fractal
#

@austere grotto Is it possible to switch action maps when you're only using InputActionReferences? If so, how do I get access to PlayerInput? PlayerInput.all.Count is 0.

austere grotto
#

I think you can reference the InputActionMaps directly

#

if not, you can get to them through the InputActionAsset

#

@austere grotto , I'm trying to get better acquainted with the new XR Input System. Do you have any favorite tutorials you'd recommend? Note: I'm building things for Quest 2.

austere grotto
#

I've never used XR anything

glass yarrow
#

#

Okay what about your favorite input system tutorials period?

austere grotto
#

IDK never really used one

glass yarrow
#

As in you've never used a Unity input system at all?

#

Maybe I'm misspeaking.
What I mean to say is that I'm trying to convert from the old Unity input system (GetKeyDown(Keycode.A)) to their new input manager

verbal remnant
#

just be aware that input system allows you to do everything in three different ways... don't let that confuse you 😉

glass yarrow
verbal remnant
#

Well, do you want to go all the way in with a custom class, auto switching, user-config, multiple-sources or do you just want 1:1 replacements for the old system?

glass yarrow
#

Mostly the latter - I'm learning from the ground up how it works; trying to get the basics down.

i haven't actually looked at any other ones lol

glass yarrow
#

Oh? that car tutorial from Unity made it sound like there were a few cool tricks with the new input manager, but then it was't working the way the tutorial said it should

dapper narwhal
#

hmm

verbal remnant
#

if you just want to get going with the new input system, you can just do stuff like

bool mouse0 = Mouse.current.leftButton.isPressed;```
Creating a custom class with all that configurability can be more than you need (initially)
dapper narwhal
#

ye

glass yarrow
#

ahh yeah I got that down. Some basics. I can do simple WASD movement. And I was trying to head into more advanced stuff and with the XR Controllers.

dapper narwhal
#

it works fine - but it destroys the point of an event-based input system, as i said

verbal remnant
#

when using input actions, make sure to enable them before using them

glass yarrow
#

But then I'd press down the button and it wouldn't work.

dapper narwhal
dapper narwhal

#

IMO the new input system is more than just firing events... it provides all sorts of ways to access the inputs and context... events aren't always best (they make code near impossible to trace)

glass yarrow
verbal remnant
#

it might even be a good idea to put an abstraction in front of input system so that your game code doesn't have to know about input system

#

and for all its generality, input system can't handle some more advanced/unique/niche input types that don't map cleanly to well established controllers/buttons/axes

glass yarrow
verbal remnant
#

you can do a lot... but some stuff is still hard... i.e. stuff that is not classic game stuff... input system doesn't handle multi touch IIRC... it provides the data, but you have to define what a gesture is in a separate custom system. Also out-of-the-box it doesn't support exotic stuff like OSC, ANT+ or your Arduino (unless you treat it like a keyboard)... you'd have to write the components for that yourself

Hi community!
Getting my hands on the new input system.
When I make a change to a setting in an input system and then save it, will it automatically generate new script for the c# class if you already have one. Or will I have to delete it, and generate it one more time?

austere grotto
drifting bison
#

thanks, yeah I did, i observed the changes. Could I follow up asking for the best way to capture the mouse position to perform a screentoworld raycast? From what I understand, its best to capture this as an action in the system manager, instead of using the old screentoworld() thing

austere grotto
#

What's the system manager?

#

You mean the EventSystem?

drifting bison
#

with the new input system manager, you cant use the old Input.something commands anymore. At least that gives me an error.
I want to move a navmesh by clicking, and need to figure out how to transfer a click in the world to the navmesh.setdestination() function

austere grotto
drifting bison
#

coordinates are way off when I click the plane with the rigidbody, is there something with the camera I might be missing, or is the screentoworldpoint() the wrong thing to be using ?

frosty raft
#

Huh, weird
I installed a package that had references to the new input system without my project having it
As a consequence the compiler fully broke with the error type or namespace name 'InputSystem' does not exist
That's normal but even the URP sample assets were bringing the compiler to a full stop with just

using UnityEngine.InputSystem;
#endif```
austere grotto
#

If it's perspective, you need to do a raycast

austere grotto

#

@austere grotto Got it working. Was really nice knowing (reimbursing) the fact that perspective = raycast. Just wanna say thanks a bunch!

Are there known issues with Xbox One Controller support on Windows, specifically the new ones using USB C connection? I have a customer saying my game doesn't support his Xbox One Controller (USB C connection). My game (HopSquash!) is built with Unity 2020.3.1f1 and uses the new Input System. It works fine with Xbox 360 controllers, and according to external reports, also works fine with the original Xbox One controllers.

If anyone is willing to test my game with their Xbox one controller (USB C), I would appreciate your time, and I'll send you a free Steam key for HopSquash! so you can test it. Thanks in advance.

narrow acorn
#

Did anyone try playing 2 instances of the game at once with the new input system? Because it seems to just care about the first one that was initialised, so I can move only in one game instance, and not in the other

#

Which is really bad because I'm making a multiplayer game and that kinda forces me to test differently

steep brook
#

based off other info, I think my customer might be full of it.

I have setup split screen in my game, and I have an issue. Each input device controls all of the player's. I can't figure out how to assign a controller to each player(and isolate their inputs). Any help would be appreciated(send me a DM)

It instantiates player prefabs for you that have PlayerInput components on them, which are independent from one another

Instead of the PlayerInput component

#

(and no they're not the same. You named your InputActionsAsset PlayerInput. I'm talking about the PlayerInput component)

PlayerInputManager should be spawning a player prefab that has the PlayerInput component on it

Gotcha, so how would you recommend doing it differently?

So I'm messing around with mirror networking and the new input system, for some reason I got the host to correctly move. However, for the client, I get NullReferenceException because SendMessage isn't passing the value to the method. I'm lost on figuring out why

#

It reacts to the buttons being pressed by giving the error, but doesn't pass the InputValue variable

#

The debugger does say it is given user 0 and has the keyboard attached to it

fair roost
#

Hi guys! I noticed my WASD move action only trigger the performed callback one time(using default interaction which I believe is 'press') when the input value is CHANGED

#

so performed callback only triggered once while I'm holding the W key

#

is there a way to receive the callback every frame until the key is released?

#

like the old GetButton() equivalent?

celest orchid
#

I used a variable that holds the value then in the update method it updates movement there

fair roost
#

so that I won't need to cache the value and write my own update method

celest orchid
#

Yeah sorry, I'm not sure otherwise, if you figure out please let me know, I would rather use that than caching it.

Ah ok

candid kiln
# celest orchid Ah ok

This is for an object without a rigidbody. With rigidbody you would use FixedUpdate and move the rigidbody not the transform. Basically get the input in OnMovement and than continuously apply them in Update.

        Vector2 inputMovement = value.ReadValue<Vector2>();
        moveDirection = new Vector3(inputMovement.x, 0, inputMovement.y);
}

private void Update {
  newPosition += movementSpeed * Time.deltaTime * (transform.forward *
  moveDirection.z + transform.right * moveDirection.x);

  transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(transform.position, newPosition,
  Time.deltaTime * movementSpeed);
} ```
celest orchid
#

Ah ok thanks, I'm still relatively new to unity but in the assignment of moveDirection, is the inputMovement.y in the right spot? But yeah right now my cousin and I are making a basic MP pong game, so we are just using a 1d Axis

#

Mainly BigBadEgg needed help

#

But when I eventually need the code I'll probably use that method

candid kiln
#

If you are new, I would probably just use the old input system, as most tutorials/resources you find are with that in mind.

Have a problem with InputSystem, it's not registering Joypad down presses during a pause in play

#

I would have thought (I may be wrong) FixedUpdate will run with Time.timeScale = 0.0f;

#

my InputSystem button commands are in a FixedUpdate loop and Input System Package property is set to Process in FixedUpdate

#

So I'm actually freezing FixedUpdate?

#

Are there any alternative ways of checking button presses? As far as I can see I will have to alter Input System Package properties to Check Manually and alter code

#

The solution was simple

#

Change Input System Package properties to Process in Dynamic Update
Put checking code in Update() {...}

Remove Time.deltaTime from the mouse axis calculation. That's what's causing your weirdness.

mouse input is framerate _in_dependent already

there's no need to adjust it based on frame timing, and in fact that introduces the weirdness you're seeing

makes sense o.o

is it ok to use comma numbers in the sensitivity?

Any good practices for switching ActionMaps? Having a bit of problems enabling and disabling the correct functions. I can tell it listens on both actionMaps I have despite putting in actionmap.disable on startup.

austere grotto
#

show your code?

drifting bison
#

its a lot of it, but ive been trying to learn it watching One Wheel Stuidos tutorial on it.
So both actions maps have all their functions added and enabled OnEnable, and likewise OnDisable.
How does the OnEnable/OnDisable work contrary to Awake/Start?

Might have missed something there.

remote otter
#

mouse input is frame independent, but wasd isnt right? so i have to multiply it with deltatime right xD?

austere grotto
drifting bison
#

playerControl.General.CycleTarget.performed += CycleTarget_performed;
playerControl.General.CycleTarget.Enable ();

I havel all functions from both action maps set up like this OnEnable, and disabled OnDisable in the same script

austere grotto
drifting bison
#

how to I add a code snippet?

#

in here'

austere grotto
drifting bison
# 
 public static MainPlayerControlScript controlScript;

public static void ToggleActionMap ( InputActionMap actionMap )
        {

        Debug.Log ( "setting actionmap " + actionMap );
        if (actionMap.enabled)
            { return; }
        actionMap.Enable ();
        }
#

more or less a copy from the tutorial video

austere grotto
#

that only enables it

#

how do you disable it?

#

I would expect "ToggleActionMap" to do both?

#

e.g.

        if (actionMap.enabled) actionMap.Disable();
        else actionMap.Enable ();```
drifting bison
#

I am pretty sure I had a disable function in there as well as the tutorial has. suddenly came in doubt. May have missed that part

remote otter
#

how can you disable that when you start/stop running there is a short time where you speed up/down and it just feels weird

#

#

Hey, i currently use the CrossPlatfromInput Script from the Standart Assets Asset for my Player Movement on a mobile game. I use three buttons for right, left and jump. Now i want to smooth my movement, like Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") normally does. So i wrote CrossPlatformInputManager.GetAxis("Horizontal"). But unfortunally, it doesn´t smooth my movement.

http://pastie.org/p/1yHJ9KO527DreGfeGcrTIc why does this fail to trigger the deceleration code until termination of playback? ie, why does the code fail to return false on the subscription to the cancelled delegate... if it even does subscribe to the cancelled delegate.

okay... so I stupidly thought it was a good idea to add a hold interaction before I understood the input system thinking it would work because I'm using it for acceleration. Can anyone explain what the hold interaction actually does in layman terms?

as per those docs, canceled will only be invoked if they release the button before the specified duration (meaning before performed happens)

HELP ME

So I'm following a VR game tutorial by Valem, I've been struggling a lot with downloading the Unity XR interactions toolkit package, and I finally found it but there's no install option anywhere, no buttons to press. I tried Unity help and they said something about the toolkit relying on Input System, but I don't know what that is or where to find it

http://pastie.org/p/3B8PTJp1vFuZBHelhQP4uH Could really do with some help here. In the pastie is my code for the input manager which is controlling all inputs through events and my car controller. For whatever reason, the button inputs work fine. The accelerator and break system work flawlessly but I'm having real bad issues with the turn input. The turn input is a value action with axis as the control type. Then the keybinds are A/D and LEFT/RIGHT each is a 1D axis. I assume (perhaps wrongly) that this will be read as a float from -1 to 1. So I set up a float input event (as I did with bool for button presses) and then try to read the value of the float according to the 1D axis. I get nothing. It doesn't log anything. It's almost as if it doesn't detect the input at all but I've checked over the input actions file and dont see any issues. I'm finding it hard to find any information online or in the docs to explain what the problem might be. Any advice?

neat marten
#

Have you tried logging in OnTurn? Maybe you forgot to add event handler
We have the same Action and it works

ocean jacinth
neat marten
#

So have you set event handler?

ocean jacinth
neat marten
#

That's strange, it's working for us in 2021.2.0b4
I can try with your setup later today

ocean jacinth
#

Thanks, I'll keep working at it to see if I can figure it out

#

I'm on 2021.1.15f1 by the way

ocean jacinth
#

turned it off and now it works. I'm not 100% sure how processors work yet

neat marten
#

Our action doesn't have processors

#

Oh yeah, haven't noticed that you have one

ocean jacinth
#

I figured it'd be the best way to allow for inverted controls when reversing but I guess I'll have to code it myself

ocean jacinth
#

Okay here we go. So I have been trying to find a way to word this for a while: The turn event cancels whenever it wants to. There's no logic to it. All I have done here is added a log of the phase of the turn event. The console shows the event starting or being performed and then cancelling. The problem is that I'm only tapping the left arrow key. I'm holding forwards and literally just tapping the left arrow key. I don't hold it down. You can see from my keycast in the bottom left that all I'm doing is tapping the key. There is no consistency to this issue and I have no idea in the slightest as to what's causing it.

austere grotto
#

the left arrow?

#

For the default interaction, the action is started/performed when you press it, and cancelled when you release it

ocean jacinth
#

my code along with the input settings are all just above. When I release the key it cancels most of the time but sometimes is acts as though it was never cancelled despite being released. So yes the left arrow

#

What makes this stranger is that it does cancel eventually but it takes what seems like a random amount of time to cancel. There's no logic to when it does cancel

ocean jacinth
# austere grotto Which one is cancelling?

in that video I press the key at just before the 18 second mark and after a very very short time (before the 19 second mark) release the key. The key press doesn't cancel until the 22 second mark

austere grotto
#

Any chance your switch pro controller is screwing it up? @ocean jacinth

#

I see that's bound as well

#

and they notoriously have the joystick drift issue...

#

Try unplugging it

ocean jacinth
#

Nope I can still replicate the issue with the binding removed

austere grotto
#

does the key up event happen immediately always?

#

Maybe your keyboard has an issue? 🤔

ocean jacinth
#

Very consistent (ignore the top few it's me taking the screenshot) So no not the keyboard. All of the events seem slow to register. Even when pressing the key to begin the turning, the perform event sometimes takes a second to kick in. Could this be an issue with event handling mixed with the input system? I've seen some people online suggest switching inputs to passthrough in case it's a disambiguation issue but if I'm ever going to make this local multiplayer, I figure I need it to be value right?

Screen_Shot_2021-07-27_at_18.15.47.png
#

but it's supposed to have been fixed

#

okay it's not the same issue. Even after switching to passthrough and removing all but one of the bindings, the issue still persists

anyone know what is wrong with new input system on Linux? when i use old input system my buttons are working fine but FPS is so low for some reason, switching to new input system fixes the low FPS but my buttons sometimes works sometimes not...

#

i just feel like Unity for Linux is a mess that shouldn't exist, 2D scrolling is slow that it takes 16 seconds to manually scroll from canvas to normal object sizes, UI input is messed up... what next?

#

i never had issues like that on Windows

#

are they even testing things on Linux before releasing or it's totally ignored and they don't care?

burnt crest
#

I have a 2D axis input type which works for gamepad just fine; but for mouse and keyboard input I would like the keys QE mapped to the horizontal (I have this working) and the mouse scroll wheel mapped to the vertical axis. I tried using mouse scroll for up and down and then clamping the upper half to 0-1 and the lower half to -1-0 and inverted the lower half... This kind of worked but the input on the mouse wheel is super slow and sluggy compared with the gamepad.

#

I tried adding a scale factor to the mouse wheel input which helped a little but not very much.

#

Larger scale factor values don't seem to have any impact on the scrolling speed.

#

Also I worry that different mice will return a different value based on different scroll sensitivities.

#

How would I do this with the new input system?

austere grotto
burnt crest
#

How do games generally workaround this?

austere grotto
#

Last time I dealt with that I had to do some #IF UNITY_WINDOWS stuff to set different sensitivity multipliers on different OSs

burnt crest
#

I see; I guess the script will need to know about how the input works then

#

Perhaps just have a dedicated action type for the mouse

#

So something like this:

if (mouseScrollInput != 0f) {
    this.smoothedLookInput.y = mouseScrollInput * this.mouseScrollSensitivity;
#if !UNITY_STANDALONE_WIN
    this.smoothedLookInput.y = this.smoothedLookInput.y / 5f * 120f;
#endif
}

It's not a simple matter of replacing the code

you have to do a bunch of setup with an Input Actions Asset

It's not just linux. There's reports all over the internet about unix based systems having problems with the new input system. I've posted here, on stack overflow and on the unity forums and had no response. I'm just finishing up making a test project to recreate the issue and post a bug report. I'd be interested in seeing how you're using the input system. Are you using the event system to control input?

#

I've found the problem. It's reportedly been fixed but it hasn't. So apparently having more than one keybinding for any action causes the actions to not subscribe to the performed or canceled delegates. At first I thought it was something to do with the disambiguation problem but I've just checked making the input passthrough instead with a minimal working example and I still get the same issue. I'd love if someone with a non unix based system could check the issue

any way to make new input system more smooth? i mean now when i get Vector2 of my Action, the value is 0, 1 or -1, in old input system it was better cuz it was smoothly going from 0 to 1.

Three quick questions!:

  1. Is there a limit on how many action maps you can have? (Or an amount that'll start showing some performance drain?) My game kinda by design needs a lot of those

  2. Is there a good way to get multiplayer transferring between scenes? Right now I have the active players set to DontDestroyOnLoad and the scenes will find and configure them to fit the scene, which works, but I was wondering if there was a more built in way? I'm definitely cool with running as is though if there's nothing.

  3. Seems Joystick does not have an option for a right stick and doesn't detect input from the right stick on my controller. I can change said controller to XInput instead and it works fine, but more compatibility the better of course, is there a way to implement that?

Hi developers!

I have a quick question. I have a game made for oculus quest 2, and in that i have a scoreboard. I want to make a secret reset button. So far i have created it this way:

if(OVRInput.GetDown(OVRInput.Button.One)) {
            if(OVRInput.GetDown(OVRInput.Button.Two)){
                if(OVRInput.GetDown(OVRInput.Button.Three)){
                    if(OVRInput.GetDown(OVRInput.Button.Four)){
                        provider.ResetHighScore();
                    }
                }
            }
        }

But i also gonna add a few more layers to it. Additionally i want to make sure that "provider.ResetHighScore()" wont be activated unless all the buttons have been held down for 5 seconds or longer. How can i achieve this? And is my current code structure viable?

Currently I have two cameras in my scene, with a world space canvas and a GR (graphic raycaster). The GR is defaulting camera 1 to raycast from. I cant find anywhere in the inspector or in code to change the camera that its raycasting from. I need to make it so the GR casts from camera 2 instead of camera 1. Does anyone know how I can change the camera that the GR is raycasting from? I'm using 2020.2.2

austere grotto
#

what happens if you remove the GraphicRaycaster and put a PhysicsRaycaster on the camera?

#

does that hit world space canvas graphics? Probably not right?

I dont think so

PhysicsRaycaster is for colliders

austere grotto

Yeah I was staring at that variable for a long time haha, I wanted to go in and add another parameter to the RaycastAll method but I couldnt find the BaseRaycaster class

They have a comment in the GraphicRaycaster class that indicates that the eventCamera is set to Camera.Main at some point

#

This line: var currentEventCamera = eventCamera; // Property can call Camera.main, so cache the reference

Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me out with implementing an action through two keybinds. So i have a character who can run with w and i want it so that when shift is held with w then the character walks instead of running.

#

Im fairly new to the new input system, sorry if its very simple and im just dumb lol

@normal summit Not sure if it's an option for you, but you could work around this by moving the main camera instead of having two cameras
Like Cinemachine does!

normal summit

I appreciate the idea, but it’s unfortunately not an option as I’m working in VR. The second camera is attached to my hand to allow me to interact with the UI as a canvas pointer.

Good evening all!

Ive hit a snag with the input system. Ive created the c# script, and made a public variable for it in my script. Unity compiles, and refuses to create the slot for me to place the script.

@molten hill

molten hill

where is the c# script

is it playercharacter?

drifting bison

then inputmanager is the script created by the input manager

molten hill

so can you check that "PlayerCharacter" is the exact name for the public class in the script you want to reference?

drifting bison
#

affirm, it is

#

and all those other 3 variables pop up as they should in unity editor.

#

ive tried creating new variables for testing, they compile and show as normal. Its when I try creating a variable from an InputManager it goes sour on me

#

ive tried deleting, creating new ones, dublicating.. restarting Unity... and still it refuses to accept any variable with reference to an InputActionAsset

or its script that is

i have that i believe @rustic plume

rustic plume

in that case it should work, send that section of your code

inputmagnitude is for the blendd tree for the animation

if walkcontrol.action.triggered happens but it doesnt adjust the animation to walking nor the character walks

#

this is the variable

#

where do you use the speed variable you have at the end of the code you sent?

silver ice
#

the debug.log in the if statement happens but the character does not walk/nor the walking animation happens

i also tried using the old input system where u do if input.getkey(leftshift) and that worked. so the logic works with the old input system but im not sure why not with the new input system

#

this is the input actions asset btw

# silver ice

InputAction.triggered is only going to be true for one frame

so how do i go about it

you want something like:

if (walkControl.action.ReadValue<float>() != 0)```

ill try that

wind musk
#

I have this code (https://paste.ofcode.org/3aTuNGmQtAQEAFnweWrLfZN) in my Move method, and hooked it up to my Player actions using the default bindings that were already setup when I created my Unity project. For some reason moving with a gamepad works fine, but with wasd it doesnt, although If I press W, I get three Debug.Logs, first two saying (0, 1), and then one saying (0, 0). Anyone know whats going on?

silver ice
#

@austere grotto thank you so much!

#

could u explain wt it means: if (walkControl.action.ReadValue<float>() != 0)

austere grotto
#

In other words "if it's currently actuated"

austere grotto
#

with the joystick you will get a callback like that every time the joystick actuation changes, even slightly, with the performed phase

wind musk
#

When I press W

austere grotto
wind musk

will do

There's some weirdness with multiple bindings sometimes I think

Probably a lot more practical to define "input related" as input collection related.

I can't figure out how to do the touch count for a screen. There's nothing in the input actions I can find for it for it. I know there's the Enhanced Touch API where I can get the activeTouches and activeFingers but that for some reason always returns a count of 0. (Might work in builds but that's still a problem). I feel like I'm missing something here that there's no easy way to get the count.

I do get touch button events and touch position values, so I know the actions are working. Then again Enhanced Touch doesn't use the actions at all so no idea.

Worth noting, I'm using the device simulation package, which could handle touch differently for all I know. Tried with the game view and simulate touch on too though.

how can you use the new input system to invoke unity events, while assigning all the events in script instead of using the editor

austere grotto
#

the point of Unity Events is to assign them from the inspector

wispy sky
#

oh?

#

should i use like c# events or something then

#

because either way, i need to dynamically assign actions in script, without relying on the editor

misty locust
#

You can use any. Unity Events are just assigned via Inspector and C# events via script.

#

Then C# is better choice for you here. @wispy sky

wispy sky
#

ah i see

austere grotto
austere grotto
#

Just use InputActionReference directly in your code

wispy sky
#

ive been instancing playerinput everytime so it is a bit clunky

#

ill try that

austere grotto

Then you can do like:

InputActionReference jumpAction;

void OnEnable() {
  jumpAction.action.performed += JumpHandler;
}

void OnDisable() {
  jumpAction.action.performed -= JumpHandler;
}```

thank you praetor!

austere grotto

you can check things like:
Keyboard.current[Key.Space].isPressed or Keyboard.current[Key.Space].wasPressedThisFrame etc.

basically you can do all the stuff you used to do with Input.GetKey, Input.getKeyDown etc

(and also a whole lot more)

hello everyone, is there a way I can match an in game FPS sensitivity to a actual game (i.e. CSGO)'s sensitivity? Im trying to make an aim trainer, and I would like it to be as accurate as possible.

is it possible to get "the number of pixels the mouse cursor would have moved on your desktop" in unity?

if I print it its showing around 0 - 1 value

I think you just want getAxis

well....

GetAxisRaw returns decimal values for joysticks and mice

it only returns -1, 0, 1 for button input

Im actually surprised that I couldnt find anything on google regarding accurate sensitivity converting on google

Easy Joystick for Mobile with Input System in Unity

Today we will use the new input system in Unity to add an on-screen joystick to our game. This works on both desktop and mobile phone devices.

Using an on-screen stick will pipe the values to a different control type, aka Gamepad stick, where we can then use an input action asset to read it's value in our script.

I'm trying to make a top down shooter, and I want the player's gun to always track the pointer, but the player only tracks the pointer if it's position is updated. I have tried using if(context.performed) and a pass-through, but nothing I've tried has worked.

i setup the new input system via c# events through a script, the input seems to work fine for the most part, but then randomly freezes for a second and my player keeps moving the same direction, after a few seconds once i try to move again it goes back to normal
any ideas for what generally might be causing this?

        GetGlobals();

        g.inputMaster.Player.Move.performed += GetMovementInput;
        g.inputMaster.Player.Move.canceled += GetMovementInput;
        g.inputMaster.Player.Look.performed += GetCursorInput;
    }

heres some of the code, g is a saved node that just stores variables for me globally

# 
public InputMaster inputMaster;

    void Awake()
    {
        inputMaster = new InputMaster();

        inputMaster.Enable();
    }

and heres the code on my globals script, that stores the input master

i'm having some trouble with getting a custom input action to show up in the inspector, anyone know what could be wrong?
public PlayerControls m_PlayerInput;
and also serializing it doesn't work either

#

also with each action, if it's a button can you check 'on press', 'on release' and 'on hold'? so far i haven't seen anything that suggests you can without having to make a new action for each case, is this true?

outer siren
#

If I set up an Input action Asset in a main control handling manager type script, then reference that asset in another script, do I still need to onEnable/onDisable in the script that's referencing, even though the asset is being enabled/disabled in the manager?

#

or is this just bad practice in general? 😄

tame oracle
#

But for the case you are describing, you should try to run it both ways so you can get conclusions.

outer siren
#

It works fine either way, I was just worried about performance issues down the line as I know you have to kinda enable and disable it. I just wondered if it was necessary if you're just referencing that asset from another a script. I'll keep on researching tho!

tame oracle
#

The reference is assigned through the editor, or code-wise?

#

Because if it is through the editor, the instance gets initiated automatically for each case.

outer siren
#

I reference it via a static InputHandler class in the script

# 
        {
                      controls = new Controls();
        }

        private void OnEnable()
        {
            controls.Enable();
        }
        private void OnDisable()
        {
            controls.Disable();
        }```
#

InputHandler.controls.Gameplay.CameraMovement.performed += ctx => HandleMovementInput(ctx.ReadValue<Vector2>());

#

then do this in other script

#

but wasn't sure if I need to redo the onEnable/onDisable in the other script if it's already doing it in the InputHandler script I'm pulling it from...

i am currently attempting to reset some scores if i hold down a button on the oculus quest 2 gear like this:
However, this code is very inconsistent, most of the time it doesn't work, suddenly it do. Any ideas?

public float duration = 2;
private float holdDuration = 0;

void update() {
        if(OVRInput.Get(OVRInput.Button.Start)) {
            holdDuration += Time.deltaTime;
        }
        else {
            holdDuration = 0;
        }

        if(holdDuration > duration) {
            resetScore();
            holdDuration = 0;
        }

}
outer siren
#

Just a swipe in the dark but maybe put the second if statment inside the first, after the time.delta time line? As I'd only want to check the hold duration if I'm still holding. At the moment you're checking whether you're holding the button or not. Might make zero difference, but I'd start with that!

Sorry if that wasn't helpful at all 😄

my keybinding code isn't working

Hey guys, I'm having an issue with my game. Right now I'm having an issue where UI Buttons would work in a specific scene, but doesn't work in others. I have no idea why, I litterally copy paste the UI elements from the scene where it works to other scenes but it still doesn't work. Anyone has any idea about what this could be?

austere grotto
tame oracle
#

I am copying the UI elements WITH the event system

austere grotto
#

wdym

tame oracle
austere grotto
#

ok

tame oracle
#

as you can see, there is an event system there

austere grotto
#

make sure your canvas has a Graphic Raycaster

tame oracle
#

but I have absolutely no idea why it doesn't work on other scenes

#

it does have one

austere grotto
#

in both scenes?

tame oracle
#

Like I said, I copy and paste the entire canvas from one scene to another

#

so yes

austere grotto
#

I can't tell from that screenshot that a canvas is being copied

#

so bear with me

tame oracle
#

Ah sorry

#

it's probably because of the name

#

MobileController is the Canvas

austere grotto
#

Have you tried having your event system selected while mousing around in the non-working scene?

#

That should show you what your mouse is hovering over

#

maybe you have something else in the other scene blocking the raycasts

#

e.g. another canvas

tame oracle
#

there is another canvas indeed

#

Though what should I do to them?

#

(the other canvases)

austere grotto
#

what's on the other canvas?

#

Is it anything you need to interact with?

tame oracle
#

No

#

it's just decorative

austere grotto
#

give it a CanvasGroup and turn off "raycast target" or "blocks raycasts" or whatever it's called

#

that will make everything in that canvas not block raycasts

tame oracle
#

Alright

austere grotto
#

(another option just for testing is to disable that canvas's GameObject just to see if that was the issue)

tame oracle
#

yeah good idea

#

Hmmm.. actually, I just got another idea

#

what if I just use one canvas instead of two?

#

It worked!!

#

I simply dragged the UI elements to one single Canvas

I'm trying to make a top down shooter, and I want the player's gun to always track the pointer, but the player only tracks the pointer if it's position is updated. I have tried using if(context.performed) and a pass-through, but nothing I've tried has worked.
Unity Event:cs public void OnPointerPosition(InputAction.CallbackContext context) { Vector2 mousePosition = playerInput.camera.ScreenToWorldPoint(context.ReadValue<Vector2>()); lookDirection = mousePosition - rigidbody.position; }
In Update:cs rigidbody.MoveRotation(Mathf.Atan2(lookDirection.y, lookDirection.x) * Mathf.Rad2Deg - 90f);

fast basin
sick fox
#

Are you saying your player only updates if the pointers position moves or if the players position moves?

fallow dragon
#

The pointer only moves if the pointer moves.

#

Sorry if I was uncelar

sick fox
#

What is firing the OnPointerPosition event?

fallow dragon
#

An action that is to a Vector2 Value and is the pointer position.

sick fox
#

It looks to me like the look target is only being updated when the pointer moves.

#

The spot you are looking at is dependent on the difference between your current position and the looktarget.

#

So if your player moves without the pointer moving, the looktarget is no longer accurate.

#

You have to update the looktarget every time your rigidbody.position changes.

#

instead of keeping lookDirection, update mousePosition in the OnPointerPosition and calculate lookDirection in update.

#

Basically, every Update() call, your lookDirection hasn't changed, it's just a vector pointing from your old rigidbody position, in the direction of the look target from when it was at that position. You are translating that rotation along with your movement because you aren't getting a new angle to the pointer.

# 
private Vector2 mousePosition;
public void OnPointerPosition(InputAction.CallbackContext context){
    mousePosition = playerInput.camera.ScreenToWorldPoint(context.ReadValue<Vector2>());
}

public void Update(){
    Vector2 lookDirection = mousePosition - rigidbody.position;
    rigidbody.MoveRotation(Mathf.Atan2(lookDirection.y, lookDirection.x) * Mathf.Rad2Deg - 90f);
}
tame oracle
#

I'm moving my player along a X/Y plane with respect to the current angle of the camera - but each time I'm adjusting the position the player gets slightly closer to the camera.

Here's the result

#

I think I need to add some sort of minimum offset somehow, but I'm not sure how to do that (quite new to Unity sorry). Here's my code though.

public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
    public CharacterController controller;
    public float speed = 6f;

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        var horizontal = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
        var vertical = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical");
        var direction = new Vector3(horizontal, vertical, 0).normalized;

        // This is just for measuring the distance between the camera and player
        // var dist = Vector3.Distance(Camera.main.transform.position, transform.position);
        // Debug.Log(dist);

        // Adjust the input direction with the current rotation of the camera
        direction = Quaternion.Euler(0, Camera.main.transform.eulerAngles.y, 0) * direction;

        if (direction.magnitude >= 0.1f) {            
            controller.Move(direction * speed * Time.deltaTime);
        }
    }
}

Any advice? Thank you in advance

sick fox
#

your camera is moving faster than your player controller moves.

#

they need to move at the same speed

#

on your camera controller script, set the distance you want to maintain as a float. in Update() where you set the camera position, check the distance to the player and make sure it stays at the offset distance.

# 
Vector3 distToPlayer = player.position - transform.position;
if(maxDistance > distToPlayer.magnitude){
  move camera away from player
}
tame oracle
#

For the "move camera away from player" part, what would you recommend to do? Some sort of clamp or something?

wind musk
#

If I have a method with no arguments that I want to call when an action is performed, can I just use a lambda? or do I need to create a new method that takes the context and basically just ignores the context and calls the original method with no arguments anyway? Seems easier to just use a lambda, but will it cause any issues since the function isnt named?

#

I mean like this action.performed += context => MethodWithNoArgs();

austere grotto
#

you'd have to save it in a variable:

Action<InputAction.CallbackContext> myLambda = context => MethodWithNoArgs();

// subscribe
action.performed += myLambda;
// unsubscribe
action.performed -= myLambda;
wind musk
#

right, makes sense, thanks man

tame oracle
#

I'm having a hard time understanding how the action maps work. Actions in action maps not set as default are triggered even though the current map is different

#

Is this supposed to happen? I'm trying to only have actions in my current map trigger

austere grotto
#

it's completely independent of the Enabled or Disabled state of the action maps or the InputActionAsset itself

tame oracle
#

Oh, so what is the proper way to have the correct action perform? For example, I have the same button do different things in different action maps

austere grotto
#

enable or disable action maps as desired

#

or use the PlayerInput component to trigger all your stuff and go with the current action map thing

tame oracle
austere grotto
#

you're probably bypassing the PlayerInput component and going straight to the InputActionsAsset

#

e.g. by doing something like playerInput.actions.<anything>

tame oracle
#

In my Awake function, I use inputControls.ActionMap.Action.performed += ...

austere grotto
#

yeah that's the issue

#

What mode do you have PlayerInput set to?

tame oracle
#

Invoke Unity Events, if that's what you're asking

austere grotto
#

Then you have to set up your callbacks from the inspector for the PlayerInput

#

with the UnityEvents there

tame oracle
#

so for clarification, if I switch to c# events, i just do: public event Action<InputAction.CallbackContext> onActionTriggered ?

austere grotto
#

also wait what is inputControls?

austere grotto
tame oracle
#

oh the input controls is the input actions asset. like its the whole thing

austere grotto
#

Ok so you're confusing a bunch of things here'

#

inputControls appears to be you trying to use the generated C# class file

#

This thing

unknown.png
#

that's a completely separate strategy from using the PlayerInput component

#

you need to decide if you want to use PlayerInput, or use the generated C# file

#

(there are also more options but let's stick with those two for now)

#

You can't really use both together

tame oracle
#

Oh yikes, I thought they worked together

austere grotto
#

nope, they're two competing ways of doing the same thing

tame oracle
#

Huh, so I think I should delete my PlayerInput component?

austere grotto
#

basically each of them is creating their own temporary InputActionsAsset when you run the game, and the two assets are completely independent from each other

austere grotto
#

then to switch action maps you just Enable() the new one and Disable() the old one.

tame oracle
#

Ok cool, so if i do that, will i still need to change my awake functions?

austere grotto
#

no idea what's in your Awake()

tame oracle
#

the inputControls.ActionMap.Action.performed +=

glass yacht
austere grotto
#

I like putting InputActionReference in my classes that need input

#

Definitely see the appeal of the generated class, and if I had a use-case for multiple instances I might use it

#

PlayerInput is.. just annoying IMO

glass yacht
#

Yeah, I forget the InputActionReference way

#

I'd probably end up using it if I remembered

tame oracle
#

most of the videos i've seen use the .performed += ctx => kind of code. this is for the generated class right?

austere grotto
#

The only problem with InputActionReference is you still need a manager object to sanely handle enabling/disabling action maps

austere grotto
#

though I prefer to use named methods for that so you can properly unsubscribe.

tame oracle
#

is there a beginner video that goes over this kind of stuff? the videos i've seen kind of just do the same thing with putting stuff in the awake method

austere grotto
#

Uh.. not that I know of off the top of my head

tame oracle
#

Or any example code of enable/disabling actions maps or just managing them in general?

molten hill
#

so i have this line of code

//entire script copied from github

        _cmd.rightMove   = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
    }

and i want to make it work with the new input system using a WASD composite

chrome walrus

#

and not one of them mentions migrating code

#

and the code i copied has a very specific type of movement that i want

#

and i am not able to rewrite all this code

#

since this discord server ain't active about the new system i'm going to brackey's discord server

chrome walrus
#

Well, I never asked a question here about hte new input system and worked myself through it quite fast. So whos problem is it, the channels or yours not putting in enough effort? The two lines of code you got there are super easy input system code, basically two floats just parsing to your _cmd thing. https://learn.unity.com/project/using-the-input-system-in-unity this and other tutorials give you all information that is needed. If you got something worked on and are stuck, come back here. Noone got the time to hold your hand from start to finish in a personal guided live tutorial.

How do you guys handle swapping controls between characters? Not multiplayer, but in my case i have 3 characters separated in scene, and i want 1 player to be active and rest disabled.
Do you guys put a "player input" type of script on each character? Or 1 script on a game manager type of setup?
I'm using the generated class, not the player input component also

So I'm trying to bind a control to happen when the player starts mouse wheel scrolling and again when the player stops scrolling.

Question: New input system.
If I have several interactions on 1 Action, can I differentiate the outcome on each interaction, or do I need to create 3 different Actions, each with 1 interaction on it?

austere grotto
#

not really even sure how multiple interactions works on a single action

#

since they all change how and when performed started and canceled happen

drifting bison
#

true, but how are we then supposed to differentiate between tap and double tap on the same key to do 2 different things?

#

like tap = walk() and double tap = run()

I was using compound axes before (continuous throttle/steering adjustment):

        controls.Player.Throttle.performed += context => throttleInput = context.ReadValue<float>();
        controls.Player.Throttle.canceled += context => throttleInput = 0f;

Now I'm using discrete buttons ("notched" throttle/steering):

        controls.Player.ThrottleUp.started += context => throttleUp = context.ReadValue<bool>();
        controls.Player.ThrottleDown.started += context => throttleDown = context.ReadValue<bool>();

I deleted the old Actions in the Input Action asset and made new actions, then unchecked "Generate C# class"→Apply→rechecked "Generate C# class", but when I press any of the bound keys, I get
Cannot read value of type 'Boolean' from control '/Keyboard/w' bound to action 'Player/ThrottleUp[/Keyboard/w]' (control is a 'KeyControl' with value type 'float') from InputActionState.cs and
InvalidOperationException while executing 'started' callbacks of 'Player/ThrottleUp[/Keyboard/w]' from DelegateHelpers.cs.

austere grotto
#

you usually would do ReadValue<float>() != 0

#

see how it's saying control is a 'KeyControl' with value type 'float'

#

the value type is float, you have to read float from it

distant acorn
#

So button presses output floats? (I haven't been able to find any documentation explicitly stating what each type outputs)

austere grotto
#

yes they output float

#

that's because KeyControl derives from InputControl<Single>

#

(float is just an alias for System.Single)

distant acorn
#

Ah, okay. So each event will output 0 if false and 1 if true.

austere grotto
#

nonzero at least. but yea

distant acorn

I'll check through the specific pages for each extension method. Thanks for that link!

Hey, so i'm struggling with some issues right now. Since i imported the Input system package my whole Visual Studio decided to go nuts and show me error for everything and stop autocompleting stuff so i'm kinda trying to work arround the issues i'm getting blind because it doesnt show me the errors. Regardless, i'm gonna try to show you the main issues.

but the stick still doesnt move me arround

Any chance anyone can be my second pair of eyes? I am getting very jumpy and laggy rotations with this code and I am not sure why. For both axes, the rotation is very jumpy and laggy and overall not smooth at all. Not sure where my error is because this code worked for the old input systems mouse X and mouse Y deltas.

Hey guys, so I've been wondering about this for a while. Is there a way to make a UI button usable in conditionals?

for example if(UIButton.GetButtonDown)
or if(UiButton.GetButtonUp)

#

it would be really useful in terms of mobile input

#

as I am trying to move my game to be compatible for mobile

#

I'm thinking of using the Button.IsPressed boolean for this. Though I'm open for other ideas

#

Lol I just realized it was a protected boolean

trim hawk
#

I have a camera with a UI canvas rendering on it to a render texture at a fixed res (640x360) which I show on another camera with another UI canvas via a raw image which is scaled to the whole screen with point sampling to get me nicely scaled low res UI. My mouse over position and clicks all are scaled by the screen / texture factor IE at 1280x720 the mouse position is wrong by half, and the bottom left quarter of the screen is effectively controlling the whole screens worth of UI. This makes sense in a lot of ways. But how can I fix it?

I want to use the resolution of the UI render texture and UI canvas for mouse clicks etc. I have a Graphic Raycaster only on the UI canvas that is rendering to the render texture but it is still using the wrong mouse coordinates. It'd be nice if there was a tickbox in the canvas scaler or graphic raycaster for like "use these dimensions for mouse input" or something. Am I missing anythign that can easily fix this? If not is there somethign that can fix this in a difficult way, intercept and re-scale the mouse position before the canvas sees it? etc?

Do you guys take questions regarding the old input system? I have a function that calls Input.ResetInputAxis(). After calling this function I then start listening to input on the horizontal axis in update & debug the value of the horizontal axis if it is greater than 0. The value output isn't consistent - ranging from 0.15 all the way to 0.4. What could be causing the randomness in the acceleration speed of the horizontal axis input? Shouldn't it always begin at the same value orr how exactly does it work/what do I need to do to make that the case. Thanks

To put it more simply - this debug doesn't return consistent values

Getting expected Errors when trying to make Player movement script but it dosent show me where i got wrong when i dubble click it??

What do i need to convert it to a InputActionReference?

How can we subscribe to an event before enabling the asset since OnEnable() is executed after Awake()?
With this script I can use the new input system but I don't know how.

input.png
austere grotto
#

doesn't have to be enabled to subscribe

#

the events just won't be fired until it is enabled

tame oracle
austere grotto
#

subscribing is like... leaving your phone number with someone and saying "call me when something happens"

#

firing the event is when something happens, and they call you

tame oracle

#

Writing in the log is what your event subscriber does when it gets the phone call.

Is there no way to get the InputActionReference programatically?

tame oracle
#

Has anyone experienced lack of touch detection, through the usage of the Enhanced Touch Support, whenever the 'IL2CPP' scripting backend is used?

austere grotto
#

Generally if you're doing something programmatically you would go straight to an InputAction

olive loom
#

I have this population of actions into the UI

#

And in each card class i call the AssignAction method, calls another method for getting the key's readable string ```cs
private void SetBindingKey()
{
int bindingIndex = inputAction.GetBindingIndexForControl(inputAction.controls[0]);

    bindingNameText.text = InputControlPath.ToHumanReadableString(inputAction.bindings[bindingIndex].effectivePath, InputControlPath.HumanReadableStringOptions.OmitDevice);
}```
#

but for some reason along the way it errors out

unknown.png
#

@austere grotto any idea why this is happening? the action it errors out on is no different than the other last 4 that it checked....

austere grotto
olive loom
#

thats the thing, its inside the input system code

unknown.png
#

but by disabling code by code , i found out its the SetBindingKey method that ends up crashing it

#

aka the UI update one

austere grotto
olive loom
# 
int bindingIndex = inputAction.GetBindingIndexForControl(inputAction.controls[0]);

        bindingNameText.text = InputControlPath.ToHumanReadableString(inputAction.bindings[bindingIndex].effectivePath, InputControlPath.HumanReadableStringOptions.OmitDevice);```
austere grotto
#

which line T_T

olive loom
#

err

#

im confused EyesShake

#

this?

austere grotto
#

yeah that

olive loom
#

ahh

#

122

austere grotto
#

InputKeyCard:51

#

looks like line 51

#

what's that

#

which line is that

olive loom
#

bindingNameText.text = InputControlPath.ToHumanReadableString(inputAction.bindings[bindingIndex].effectivePath, InputControlPath.HumanReadableStringOptions.OmitDevice);

austere grotto
#

so it seems like inputAction.bindings[bindingIndex] this is the problem

olive loom
#

i already said that is the code that breaks it 👀

#

how come though

austere grotto
#

bindingIndex is not within the array

olive loom
#

hmm

austere grotto
#

maybe debug what that index is

#

and how big the array is

#

it's probably returning -1 or something from GetBindingIndexForControl

olive loom
#

ok for some reason its -1 thonk

unknown.png
#

why the hell is it returning -1, its the literal same action than the previous one that returned just fine

austere grotto
#

The index into the action's binding array for the binding that control was resolved from or -1 if the control is not currently bound to the action.

#

So it seems the control is not currently bound to the action

olive loom
#

thats....weird

#

its the pickup one

unknown.png
#

both are exactly the same

#

is it because they share the same key or something?

#

ok i fixed it by getting the index by doing this
int bindingIndex = inputAction.GetBindingIndex(InputBinding.MaskByGroup("Keyboard&Mouse"));

olive loom
#

working with composite is an absolute pain....

Getting expected Errors when trying to make Player movement script but it dosent show me where i got wrong when i dubble click it??

austere grotto
olive loom
#

how do i pull the stuff inside of a composite? Both their name and key

unknown.png
#

i want to list them programatically

tame oracle
#

Is this possible?

austere grotto
#

isn't that just myVector.magnitude?

So I'm using WPF as an overlay on my Unity scene and my keyboard input isn't getting captured in the Unity scene after swapping to the new Input System.
Worked fine on the old system and mouse movement/click/scroll works as expected in the new system.
Also works fine in a standalone build
Any obvious things I'm missing?

tame oracle

It looks like the Unity scene is getting focus so that's not an issue.

#

it's framerate independent for a mouse

#

but the thing we're discussing, I think, is the "momentum"/"gravity" of GetAxis (the thing that's not present for GetAxisRaw), right?

#

If the axis is mapped to the mouse, the value is different and will not be in the range of -1...1. Instead it'll be the current mouse delta multiplied by the axis sensitivity. Typically a positive value means the mouse is moving right/down and a negative value means the mouse is moving left/up.

This is frame-rate independent; you do not need to be concerned about varying frame-rates when using this value.
^ The framerate independence thing is referring to the mouse thing. They put a paragraph break there for some reason so it may not seem obvious but that is the case

proven steppe
#

Oh that seems like some poor writing

#

Is there anything I can do to ensure consistent input across varying frame rates then?

austere grotto
proven steppe
#

That will ensure it's always consistent?

#

I'm using this value to assign velocity to an object, but the time it takes to reach a certain point varies because of varying input speed

#

Hopefully this fixes it

austere grotto
#

whatever is moving your object based on the velocity will factor in deltaTime itself

proven steppe
#

hmm then what could be causing the discrepancy in the distance it can cover within the same time frame?

austere grotto
proven steppe
#

I'll just add the velocity line to the isolated script I sent before

#

actually no

austere grotto
#

Why are you doing this whole ResetInputAxes thing and only reading input for one frame?

proven steppe
#

The player is kept suspended in the air until the first input

#

I then have them moving towards a wall

#

With a script on it that debugs the height the player hits the wall at

#

& then resets the player

#

And you can see by holding down D, the player doesn't reach the wall at the same point

austere grotto
#

Use Input.GetAxisRaw instead

#

GetAxis is never going to be consistent the way you want

#

alternatively, wait until the input is fully actuated (to 1) before starting

proven steppe
#

so the input smoothing for get axis can't be used for accurate physics?

austere grotto
#

no

#

do your own input smoothing in FixedUpdate

#

if you want

#

also Unity's physics engine isn't really deterministic

#

it's built for performance

proven steppe
#

bruh

#

aight thanks for the help

#

I guess I'll try building my own work around cos the engine can't handle consistently smoothing input

austere grotto
#

you're looking for input that's smoothed per fixed frame

#

so you'll have to do it yourself

bold matrix
#

I'm trying to set up WASD input handling for my project, and I'm running into an issue where if I hold down one of the keys (e.g. D), and then try to push a key that goes orthogonal to it (W or S), those events will not go through. This stops being the case if I additionally hold down the key that goes in the opposite direction of the first key (A). The behaviour that I expect and want is for all those events to go through, regardless of what other keys might be simultaneously pressed, so as to enable diagonal movement input. How do I achieve this?

#

Additional info: I'm using a custom behaviour script, that contains an InputActionMap that I've configured through the inspector.

austere grotto

#

I am using a composite binding

#

Can you tell me specifically what I should be changing?

austere grotto
bold matrix
#

That doesn't sound related to this. Like I said, the keys that block input are the orthogonal ones

sacred burrow
#

Hey, I'm trying to make a sprinting script using the new input system, how do i implement hold the button? do i need to make 2 actions? 1 for pressing the button and the other 1 to release? or is there a simpler way to implement hold key in the new input system?

austere grotto
#

but that's obviously not ideal
