Also the maintainer told me to change to a different version to use a new feature and it doesn't exist

#

Although it's in the git repo... But the repo is not formed for using as a dependency

hi friends

#

i am using the new input settings

#

yet get this:

#

#

i don't understand, i did check project settings too

austere grotto Aug 30, 2021, 3:23 AM

#

hazy jetty i don't understand, i did check project settings too

Click on your event system

#

(which the error is highlighting in your hierarchy)

#

then press the button on the Input Module to upgrade it to the Input System version

Is there a good channel in this server to receive advice/scripting help with ReWired?

austere grotto Aug 30, 2021, 9:45 PM

this channel would be your best bet - but I believe ReWired probably has their own places

Well they have a documentation PDF but as far as I'm aware they don't have a forum/discord server

#

If I want to have a character open a menu, but they could be flying or driving, how does that work with the action maps?

#

Seems like an InputActionReference only works if the correct map is active

#

Which implies I might have to duplicate a bunch of actions?

austere grotto Aug 31, 2021, 1:02 AM

#

unkempt oasis Seems like an InputActionReference only works if the correct map is active

Many ActionMaps can be enabled at the same time.

#

as many as you want in fact

#

no need for duplicate InputActions

unkempt oasis Aug 31, 2021, 1:02 AM

#

Ooohhh. Okay, that changes things.

#

Ok, so instead of calling playerInput.SwitchCurrentActionMap(String) I'd call actionMap.Enable()?

austere grotto Aug 31, 2021, 1:08 AM

#

unkempt oasis Ok, so instead of calling `playerInput.SwitchCurrentActionMap(String)` I'd call ...

yeah

#

The PlayerInput component is its own thing

#

currentActionMap only being relevant for itself

austere grotto Aug 31, 2021, 1:09 AM

#

unkempt oasis Ooohhh. Okay, that changes things.

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

Note that the concept of "current action map" is local to PlayerInput. You can still freely enable and disable action maps directly on the actions asset. This property only tracks which action map has been enabled under the control of PlayerInput, i.e. either by means of defaultActionMap or by using SwitchCurrentActionMap(String).

Interesting. Thank you.

Hello. How can I get mobile tilt value (accelerometer/gyroscope)? I tried sensor->accelerometer x/y/z and sensor->gyroscope x/y/z but I cant get it to work.

#

Anyone has a sample?

#

The new input system confuses me, I had key field with an if statement and I dont know how to replace it in the new system

if (Input.GetKeyDown(key))

#

maybe?
if (Keyboard.current[key].isPressed)

austere grotto Aug 31, 2021, 3:17 PM

#

short perch maybe? ```if (Keyboard.current[key].isPressed)```

if (Keyboard.current[key].wasPressedThisFrame)```

short perch Aug 31, 2021, 3:18 PM

#

ah, thanks, i saw that one as well

#

is the index the same as the old keyCodes

austere grotto Aug 31, 2021, 3:18 PM

#

no it's a new enum called Key

short perch Aug 31, 2021, 3:18 PM

#

I know, i just meant are they are in the same order

#

God, relearning this XD

#

mouse positions?

#

Input.mousePosition.x

austere grotto Aug 31, 2021, 3:19 PM

#

Vector2 mousePos = Mouse.current.position.ReadValue();```

short perch Aug 31, 2021, 3:19 PM

unkempt oasis Aug 31, 2021, 6:33 PM

#

Yeah weirdly isn't reenabling again

unkempt oasis Aug 31, 2021, 6:50 PM

#

Wait a sec, it only happens if I modify that component, the character controller with it's references to InputActionAsset and etc.

#

And.. it's inconsistent? Every action is listed as disabled, the action.ReadValue doesn't work but the spacebar jump does. I'm about to start day drinking and uninstalling things.

austere grotto Aug 31, 2021, 9:03 PM

#

This function will be called with false as the parameter when it is released

#

If you are brand new to Unity I recommend using the old input system. It's easier to learn

west oracle Aug 31, 2021, 9:30 PM

#

for super-super new people, sometimes its still better to just use the device-context and ignore Actions altogether

#

ie:

Gamepad.current.buttonSouth.wasPressedThisFrame

torn escarp Aug 31, 2021, 11:07 PM

#

how can i check the current state of an action inside of the update method?

austere grotto Aug 31, 2021, 11:09 PM

#

torn escarp how can i check the current state of an action inside of the update method?

theAction.ReadValue<whateverType>()```

#

or cs theAction.phase

#

whichever you're interested in

torn escarp Aug 31, 2021, 11:12 PM

#

austere grotto ```cs theAction.ReadValue<whateverType>()```

so right now if i had controls.Player.Movement.performed += ctx => Move(ctx.ReadValue<Vector2>()); i could get that same value with controls.Player.Movement.ReadValue<Vector2>(), right?

yes

torn escarp Aug 31, 2021, 11:50 PM

#

austere grotto yes

is it fine to put this into fixedupdate or should i still only be checking for things in udpate?

austere grotto Aug 31, 2021, 11:53 PM

#

by default the input system processes things once per frame.

For reading a continuous value like the position of a joystick in order to process it in FixedUpdate it's fine to read it in FixedUpdate.

If it's something like a button where it's a one-time event, you should only read it in Update

austere grotto Sep 1, 2021, 1:27 AM

#

I guess inputs.interact is false then

#

but define "not working" is the if statement just not being entered or are you getting an error?

sullen lintel Sep 1, 2021, 1:28 AM

#

but for some reason not on this raycast hit

#

my input panel looks like this

#

interact is when i hit E button

#

weird now its just returning a bunch of NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

austere grotto Sep 1, 2021, 1:51 AM

#

sullen lintel weird now its just returning a bunch of NullReferenceException: Object reference...

if it's on that same line then either:

your raycast didn't hit anything and you're not checking for that
inputs is null which means you didn't assign a reference to it properly

#

if your raycast didn't hit anything then raycastHit.collider will be null

#

and trying to get .tag of that will cause an error

#

just an optimization tip:

Collider c = raycastHit.collider;
if (c != null) {
  if (c.CompareTag("Panel")) {

  }
  else if (c.CompareTag("WrenchPickup")) {
     
  }
  // ETC

west oracle Sep 1, 2021, 5:12 AM

Yes. Checkout the input system examples from package manager

Wha tline is the error

austere grotto Sep 1, 2021, 12:57 PM

#

my bad I guess you can't use callback contexts with SendMessage mode?

#

I would probably just avoid SendMessages mode if you need complexity like detecting the release of the button

#

use UnityEvents mode or C# events mode

regal crown Sep 1, 2021, 1:18 PM

ok thx

hushed coral Sep 1, 2021, 3:06 PM

Anyone used the PlayerInputManager’s join players manually option? Trying to join players to specific control layouts (having 2 players on one keyboard, so one layout on WASD, one on arrows)

austere grotto Sep 1, 2021, 3:12 PM

#

hushed coral anybody know how i can check if a mousebutton is currently held down?

a mouse button would typically not be bound to a Vector2 control

#

It would be a float control

#

ReadValue does work

hushed coral Sep 1, 2021, 3:14 PM

#

austere grotto a mouse button would typically not be bound to a Vector2 control

nono the vector2 was from my movement, just was an example that read works when my binding looks like this:

#

#

but not when i have this:

#

because Actuon Type button does not have any values i can read

austere grotto Sep 1, 2021, 3:15 PM

#

ReadValue<float> works

hushed coral Sep 1, 2021, 3:16 PM

#

:I

#

so i was an idiot

#

i thought it was a bool >.>

#

but i also found another solution just after typing my question so if i wanna check if a mouse button is pressed i can use both of this:

#

they both seem to work

#

not sure what / if there is a difference tho

frigid ridge Sep 1, 2021, 3:18 PM

#

You might wanna look into ReadAsButton or something similar. I think there are more caveats to using the raw value

I am trying to rotate the player towards the cursor in a topdown 3d game and I used this code (from 2014) and the rotation is lacking behind the cursor
Vector3 pos = Camera.main.WorldToScreenPoint(transform.position); Vector3 dir = Input.mousePosition - pos; float angle = Mathf.Atan2(dir.y, dir.x) * Mathf.Rad2Deg; transform.rotation = Quaternion.AngleAxis(angle, Vector3.forward);
how do I make it right towards the cursor

shrewd perch Sep 1, 2021, 5:05 PM

austere grotto Sep 1, 2021, 5:05 PM

#

You should use Plane.Raycast to get the world position of the mouse

shrewd perch Sep 1, 2021, 5:06 PM

#

alright

#

thanks

austere grotto Sep 1, 2021, 5:06 PM

#

e.g. create a Plane (in code, not the gameobject thing) that matches the surface of your world, and do Plane.Raycast with it using Camera.ScreenPointToRay

Hey, I'm trying to set up a menu inside of a Scroll View with the new input system but I'm having issues with anything inside the scroll view that blocks raycasts will block scroll events

#

Is there a way to let those pass through

#

If I flip the order of the objects in the editor, the opposite issue happens where the scroll view blocks all events

#

Removed raycast target on the viewport and created a canvas group attached to the scroll view, the scroll view didn't capture scroll events

hey, so

#

i got a problem with the unity input system package

#

everythig is set up, theres no compiler errors, but half the mapped keys and buttons just dont work and theres even one that triggers a different action than the one mapped

#

i mapped everything like this

#

and the relevant code i use is

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.InputSystem;
 
public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
    bool GetJump = false;
    bool GetThrow = false;
    bool GetDash = false;
 
    private void Awake()
    {
        controls = new PlayerInput();
        controls.PlayerControls.Movement.performed += ctx => movement = new Vector2(Mathf.Sign(ctx.ReadValue<Vector2>().x), Mathf.Sign(ctx.ReadValue<Vector2>().y));
        controls.PlayerControls.Movement.performed += ctx => movement = Vector2.zero;
 
        controls.PlayerControls.Jump.performed += ctx => GetJump = true;
        controls.PlayerControls.Jump.canceled += ctx => GetJump = false;
 
        controls.PlayerControls.Throw.performed += ctx => GetJump = true;
        controls.PlayerControls.Throw.canceled += ctx => GetJump = false;
 
        controls.PlayerControls.Dive.performed += ctx => GetDash = true;
        controls.PlayerControls.Dive.canceled += ctx => GetDash = false;
    }
}```

#

(i use those bools to adapt it to my old code, written and planned for the default unity input, if theres a better way to do this, info would also be appreciated)

#

so well

#

for some reason, only space, Lshift and Lcontrol work, and Lshift is also triggering the Jump instead of the Throw

I want to make it so that when I am holding a UI button (In my case the shoot button), the touchfield should work, i.e. we should be able to look around in the view. I can do that seperately, meaning if I hold down the shoot button with a finger, and drag to look around with another, but that isn't convenient. Besides many mobile games these days have it that way. How can I do that?

You need to install the Input System package first, and then yes, you need to have a using directive for it as well because all of the classes are in that namespace

my question is what's the difference between making an Rstick Vector 2 composite and using the right stick on the gamepad without the composite, is one better than the other? or one is wrong and one is right?
thank you

austere grotto Sep 3, 2021, 9:43 PM

#

tame oracle my question is what's the difference between making an Rstick Vector 2 composite...

use the composite. It's just simpler

lime temple Sep 3, 2021, 9:51 PM

#

austere grotto missing the subfolder syntax

ok so it should be this then:
"com.lookingglass.joyconlib": "git@lookingglass.github.com:JoyconLib/com.lookingglass.JoyconLib.git?path=/tree/master/Packages/com.lookingglass.joyconlib"

#

but that didn't work either

So I have a class that has a custom PlayerInputActions object.

public class RootObject : MonoBehavior
{
  [SerializeField]
  private PlayerInputActions _input
}

And then the PlayerInputActions

[Serializable]
pubic class PlayerInputActions : MonoBehavior
{
        [SerializeField]
        private InputActionAsset _actionAsset;
        private PlayerInput _playerInput;

        private void Start()
        {
            _playerInput = gameObject.AddComponent<UnityEngine.InputSystem.PlayerInput>();
            _playerInput.actions = _actionAsset;
            _playerInput.notificationBehavior = PlayerNotifications.BroadcastMessages;
            _playerInput.ActivateInput();
        }
}

So you can see what I am trying to do here. I want a class the manages the input using Unitys new input system

#

The issue is that I don't think having a field object that extends MonoBehavior is valid, so I am not sure what approach I can take here to implement a custom input class that receives the broadcast input events/

Because PlayerInputActions extends MonoBehavior, it won't let me serialize the fields and instead just makes the entire class the serialized field (that is, I can't drag and drop as asset to the _actionAsset field)

austere grotto Sep 3, 2021, 10:48 PM

#

ebon bronze The issue is that I don't think having a field object that extends `MonoBehavior...

Have you simply misspelled MonoBehaviour?

#

I'm a bit confused as to what the goal is here

ebon bronze Sep 3, 2021, 10:49 PM

#

oh I just typed it wrong. Its all correct in my code, but I think I solved my issue. You have to AddComponent any fields that extend monobehvior, otherwise you can just do new Object

austere grotto Sep 3, 2021, 10:50 PM

#

Is there a reason you can't just set the PlayerInput component up directly on the object in the editor instead of adding it with AddComponent and manually setting up the actions reference?

ebon bronze Sep 3, 2021, 10:53 PM

#

I can if I wanted to

#

But im trying some stuff out

drowsy skiff Sep 4, 2021, 4:38 AM

#

When I am listening with Invoke Unity Event for a certain keybind being "started" (not performed) with OnPrimaryLeft(InputAction.CallbackContext context) then why does it run context.started once then never again?

I am trying to make it be holdable.

#

It's basically like this.

austere grotto Sep 4, 2021, 4:48 AM

#

drowsy skiff When I am listening with `Invoke Unity Event` for a certain keybind being "start...

Started is exactly that - when you start pressing it

#

You won't see started again until you release and press it again

drowsy skiff Sep 4, 2021, 4:49 AM

#

austere grotto You won't see started again until you release and press it again

Huh. Well crap.. I'm stupid, thanks.

#

Alright, now I am confused. I am trying to make it send an event when it's been pressed, when it's still being pressed (held), then it's been let go. all on a key on the keyboard. how do I do that

ebon bronze Sep 4, 2021, 5:13 AM

#

the return value on the callback is 1 if you press and 0 if you let go

#

so basically anything after it returns 1 is holding until it returns 0

#

you can also set the interaction on a key to hold and set a custom hold time so it returns 0 if you dont hold a key long enough and only returns 1 if the key is held down long enough

drowsy skiff Sep 4, 2021, 5:15 AM

#

ebon bronze the return value on the callback is 1 if you press and 0 if you let go

How do I get the value exactly?

ebon bronze Sep 4, 2021, 5:16 AM

#

here is an example. The value depends on what type of value the certain input returns, but for buttons that usually just floats or ints

#

        private void OnMoveUpAction(InputValue val)
        {
            Debug.Log("Moving Up");
            Debug.Log(val.Get<float>()); // prints 1 on key down and 0 on key up
        }

drowsy skiff Sep 4, 2021, 5:17 AM

#

So am I gonna have to change my functions to utilize SendMessages from the Input Module?

ebon bronze Sep 4, 2021, 5:18 AM

#

im sure theres a way to access the value from the callback you use. But the docs are incomplete right now, its more like a tutorial so I am not sure

#

try

        private void OnMoveUpAction(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
        {
            var action = context.action;
            Debug.Log("Moving Up");
            Debug.Log(action.ReadValue<float>()); // prints 1 on key down and 0 on key up
        }

based on the docs this is how i think its done

drowsy skiff Sep 4, 2021, 5:20 AM

#

I'll give it a shot

ebon bronze Sep 4, 2021, 5:22 AM

#

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

#

seems like you can access duration (hold down duration) directly from the context context.duration and then you read the value from context.action property.

keen mauve Sep 4, 2021, 7:49 AM

#

You can call ReadValue directly on the context

drowsy skiff Sep 4, 2021, 2:32 PM

#

Alright so I got it to work the way I want it to, thanks y'all!

#

But now something else strange appeared... In the Editor, the UI Buttons work well, however when I compile the game and try to use the buttons on the Main Menu, the buttons activate then the game softlocks. All other buttons are not clickable and the button that was clicked, stays clicked and doesn't perform the action it's supposed to.

keen mauve Sep 4, 2021, 2:54 PM

#

Execution halting suggests an exception, are you able to attach a debugger?

drowsy skiff Sep 4, 2021, 2:56 PM

#

I know Visual Studio Community Edit. can attach to standalone, right? Not sure about JetBrains Rider, that's my primary IDE.

With the action like this:

Screen_Shot_2021-09-04_at_9.57.38_PM.png

#

i.e. - use a normal binding - not a Vector2 composite

there is no smoothing in the new input system so it's always like GetAxisRaw instead of GetAxis

tame oracle Sep 5, 2021, 10:41 AM

deft marsh Sep 5, 2021, 11:48 AM

Hey guys, I've been trying to learn how to use the newer Input system - And from what I can tell, the input system for some reason interacts fine with Screen Space -Overlay canvases with buttons on, but not with Screen Space - Camera ones? Am I doing something wrong here?

#

Never mind - Sort of solved it myself by seperating the buttons onto a seperate screen space overlay canvas. Means the buttons aren't affected by the lighting like the rest of the menu, but at least it functions.

Is there any easy way to toggle an action to "always held" in the input manager? We're playing around with a few input experiments that have different "always on" options, and I'm hoping it's possible to express it all through input config.

summer skiff Sep 6, 2021, 1:19 AM

Hello! I have a pretty straightforward PlayerInput script, that checks if a keyboard button was pressed and if it was, there is the PlayerMovement Script that handles movement:

        {
            isRightPressed = true;
        }
        else
        {
            isRightPressed = false;
        }```
```if (playerScript.inputScript.isRightPressed)
        {
            MovePlayerRight();
            anim.SetBool("isWalking", true);

        }```
Now let's say I want to make a mobile game with UI arrow buttons as movement controllers. I've been trying to use methods such as:
```public void PointerDownLeft()
    {
        isLeftPressed = true;
    }

    public void PointerUpLeft()
    {
        isLeftPressed = false;
    }```
In the PlayerInput script and using them in the Button Pointer Up/Down events, but this doesn't seem to work at all.

        // ...

            _jumpAction = map.FindAction("Jump", true);
            _movementAction = map.FindAction("Move", true);
            _accelerateAction = map.FindAction("Accelerate", true);
            _reverseAction = map.FindAction("Reverse", true);

// ... 

        private void FixedUpdate() {
            _inputs.Move = _movementAction.ReadValue<Vector2>();
            _inputs.Accelerate = _accelerateAction.ReadValue<float>();
            _inputs.Reverse = _reverseAction.ReadValue<float>();
            _inputs.JumpPress = _jumpAction.WasPressedThisFrame();

#

It seems kind of unnecessary. If you don't understand what "preview" means then you're probably unlikely to ship a product that is going to suffer from preview packages. But whatever.

#

Guess they didn't want ppl complaining

#

Understandable

unkempt oasis Sep 6, 2021, 4:22 AM

#

Well, probably helps if I keep the PlayerInput on the same object as the controller script that expects the messages

glossy mesa Sep 6, 2021, 6:47 AM

#

How does the input system parse events during FixedUpdate? Does it run the polling on an alternate thread?

glossy mesa Sep 6, 2021, 7:31 AM

#

Hm, so I'm using the PlayerInputManager and now it's binding multiple prefabs to the same input. i.e. I join my controller and then join keyboard, and now both keyboard and the gamepad are controlling the newly instantiated prefab.

#

Is this a setting I might have changed?

glossy mesa Sep 6, 2021, 8:03 AM

#

Okay, digging into the source it looks like setting PlayerInput.actions doesn't actually set the asset properly, it does some crazy stuff.

#

        /// Note that every player will maintain a unique copy of the given actions such that
        /// each player receives an identical copy. When assigning the same actions to multiple players,
        /// the first player will use the given actions as is but any subsequent player will make a copy
        /// of the actions using <see cref="Object.Instantiate(Object)"/>.

#

Pretty baffling. If this is the case then what is the point of PlayerInput? Further investigation required.

Hello all! Anyone got some insight on getting Unity XR controls working with the Valve Index using the newer action based input?
I have the interaction profile for the Index along with the OpenXR and XR Interaction Toolkit. I also used the default actions from the XR samples to the controllers in the hierarchy, but I do not think I am getting any actions to work.
I attached a grabbable object script to a cube and still cannot grab it with grip on the the controller; other buttons/joystick do not seem to do anything either. I need to make a simple VR shooter game with homing bullets, manual reload gun, and scoring.
Any instruction or solid tutorial links would be appreciated!

that's not what I meant, I mean I have an action , I want (on the PC) to use the mouse wheel to do it, however if I use the game pad I want a button to do the exact action... how do i do that

I was wondering. How do I check what type of device is being used? More specificaly I want to know for example if a "XBox controller" is being used or if a "Playstation controller". Because I want to use different icons in my UI fir the different controllers.

frigid ridge Don't remember specifically, but it's covered in the samples

There is one for rebinding which has this. But that doesn't really tell me what it is actually doing. It is just 'magically' comparing against 'magic strings'. Like if I wanted to add one for the switch, or for a steam controller or something I would have no idea how.

frigid ridge Sep 7, 2021, 8:39 PM

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.1/manual/Gamepad.html Class names probably work? You can probably find out the file where these are defined to get more exact data. Input debugger probably shows this stuff too

#

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.1/manual/Layouts.html One of these layout formats is probably used for the built-in layouts

Bit confused by the new system. How do I do the equivalent of Input.GetKey()? (As in, a button is being pressed and we're still checking if it's pressed each frame).

I'd like to have my character do something for as long as a button is held. Thanks in advance.

austere grotto Sep 7, 2021, 10:44 PM

#

civic solstice Bit confused by the new system. How do I do the equivalent of `Input.GetKey()`? ...

if you have an InputAction then you do:

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

#

Or if you have InputSystem v 1.1+ you can do:

action.IsPressed()```

civic solstice Sep 7, 2021, 10:48 PM

#

austere grotto if you have an InputAction then you do: ```cs action.ReadValue<float>() != 0```

Thanks, I'll give it a go! Do I have to define the actions as button, or value, or anything specific?

austere grotto Sep 7, 2021, 10:49 PM

civic solstice Thanks, I'll give it a go! Do I have to define the actions as button, or value, ...

Button should work fine

civic solstice Sep 7, 2021, 10:54 PM

austere grotto Button should work fine

Thanks, inputValue.isPressed seems to work. Do you know if there's a way to trigger when it's released too? My setup is:

private void OnKnifeEdgeLeft(InputValue inputValue)
{
        Debug.Log(inputValue.isPressed);
}

#

Otherwise I'm guessing I need a instance var that is false until OnKnifeEdgeLeft overrides it to be true

#

Ah bummer, it doesn't work as I thought actually. It only triggers every key press and not when held

#

civic solstice Ah bummer, it doesn't work as I thought actually. It only triggers every key pre...

You're using the PlayerInput component or something in Send Messages mode I guess?

#

If you want to poll things in update just get a reference to the InputAction and poll it

#

You can use InputActionReference to directly reference an input action from your InputActionsAsset

#

you don't need PlayerInput at all

#

especially if you just want to poll input in Update

civic solstice Sep 7, 2021, 11:02 PM

#

Sorry let me explain better.

In Update I call a method that handles rotation stuff for my player

    private void Lean(Vector2 movement)
    {
        // Pitch (y rotation)
        var pitchQuat = Quaternion.Slerp(player.localRotation, Quaternion.Euler(-movement.y * pitchAngleLimit, 0, 0), pitchLerpRate);

        // Wobble + Lean (z rotation)
        var wobbleQuat = Quaternion.Euler(0f, 0f, wobbleAmount * Mathf.Sin(Time.time * wobbleSpeed));
        var leanQuat = Quaternion.Slerp(player.localRotation, Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, -movement.x * leanAngleLimit), leanLerpRate);

     ...
    }

Based on the player movement, from this:

private void OnMove(InputValue movementValue)
    {
        _movement = movementValue.Get<Vector2>();
    }

#

In Lean() I'd like to also add an if block, and if the right bumper of the controller is being held down for that frame, I'd like to do something

#

But as soon as the bumper is let go, I want it to stop doing it

#

Any suggestions for my situation? Thanks so much for your help so far

austere grotto Sep 7, 2021, 11:06 PM

#

Like i said

#

if you want to poll it in update

#

poll it in Update

#

otherwise, use the event-based way you're doing to set some state and read that state in update

#

like you're doing with move

#

you can make a bool "isLeaning"

#

up to you

#

you either go event based or you do polling

#

@austere grotto do you know whether you can use both a Player Input/input action asset and the generate C# asset together?

yeah half of them confuse me

You can use together but it's better to fixate on one approach.

Maybe you should make your game there then. It's frankly just rant here, makes it real hard to help.

Depends on what you mean by "together"

#

They will both work

#

at the same time

valid dragon Sep 8, 2021, 12:11 AM

#

Also, maybe add keyboard controls too, to make sure it's not an issue with the gamepad.

austere grotto Sep 8, 2021, 12:12 AM

#

Each instance of the C# generated asset has its own independent copy of the InputActionsAsset

hazy jetty Sep 8, 2021, 12:12 AM

#

#

yes the log works

glass yacht Sep 8, 2021, 12:12 AM

#

hazy jetty yes the log works

so it's working

misty locust Sep 8, 2021, 12:12 AM

#

So it's working lmao.

hazy jetty Sep 8, 2021, 12:12 AM

#

but its not rotating 😦

valid dragon Sep 8, 2021, 12:12 AM

Ok, so it's not an input system issue.

hazy jetty Sep 8, 2021, 12:12 AM

#

oh

austere grotto Sep 8, 2021, 12:12 AM

#

so for example disabling an action map on that object won't affect your PlayerInput - unless you explicitly set the actions on the PlayerInput to point to the one created by the Generated C# class instance

glass yacht Sep 8, 2021, 12:12 AM

#

Because you're manually rotating a rigidbody via its transform.

hazy jetty Sep 8, 2021, 12:13 AM

#

what should i be using?

glass yacht Sep 8, 2021, 12:13 AM

#

AddTorque perhaps

hazy jetty Sep 8, 2021, 12:13 AM

#

on rigidbody or gameobjecT?

glass yacht Sep 8, 2021, 12:13 AM

#

Only one of those makes sense

misty locust Sep 8, 2021, 12:13 AM

#

Also I think since it's event-based.. it doesn't work continuously. Like Update (Polling) to be precise.

glass yacht Sep 8, 2021, 12:14 AM

#

As far as I understand the normal approach is to set a variable that captures the input state, and then applying that in Update/FixedUpdate as needed

hazy jetty Sep 8, 2021, 12:15 AM

#

im confused

#

u said torque

misty locust Sep 8, 2021, 12:15 AM

misty locust Sep 8, 2021, 12:17 AM

Then multiply it with huge value

valid dragon Sep 8, 2021, 12:17 AM

valid dragon Sep 8, 2021, 12:18 AM

#

why is the InputDebugger shows inputs from my controller , but the mapped input actions won't work ?

#

However when using direct reading it seems to work

var gamepad_a = UnityEngine.InputSystem.Gamepad.current?.aButton.isPressed ?? false;
var joystick_a = UnityEngine.InputSystem.Joystick.current?.trigger.isPressed ?? false;
Debug.Log(string.Format("GP: {0}  , JS : {1} ", gamepad_a, joystick_a));

#

but when using the generated C# class there is no reaction

DinoInputActions IA;

void Awake()
{
    IA = new DinoInputActions();
    IA.DinoRun.Left.performed += ctx => Debug.Log("Left key " + ctx.ReadValueAsButton() );
    IA.DinoRun.Right.performed += ctx => Debug.Log("Right key " + ctx.ReadValueAsButton() );
    IA.DinoRun.Jump.performed += ctx => Debug.Log("Jump key " + ctx.ReadValueAsButton());
}

#

also there is no reaction from the gamepad for the inputs :

GetComponent<PlayerInputManager>().onPlayerJoined += onPlayerJoined;

#

note the keyboard works in the above

#

here is the mapping with 2 schemes ( Keyboard and Gamepad )

#

nvm i forgot to add

    private void OnEnable() => dinoInputActions.Enable();
    private void OnDisable() => dinoInputActions.Disable();

but the PlayerInputManager onPlayerJoined event still won't trigger

I've got a bit of code that lets you interact with a bit of UI toolkit, which then disappears and you're back in the main game. At that point, the mouse wheel doesn't work (it's used for zoom) until you move a bit with WASD and then it's fine. This is the new input system. I don't want to spend ages on this bug if I can help it - is there anything I can do to give the input system a bit of a kick?

#

Oh and this bug only appears in the built version of the game, it works fine in play mode in the editor.

I read that, it uses specific keys, nah I want getbuttondown on particular action. Like a jump action needs space, x on gamepad and jump on ui.

Isn't there any method to call all three at once?

#

For now I am using press only processor and setting input to false after its done

Adding multiple bindings to the same input action doesn't work for your case ?

thorny gorge Sep 10, 2021, 5:32 PM

#

Hey quick question. I'm looking track periods of mouse movement using the new input system. I see there's an binding path for Position [Mouse] but I wanted to ask how this control works. Assuming that this Action is set to Update() does it get fired every single Update() frame or only when the delta position changes?

#

Would I have to go about tracking position each frame and comparing it to the last myself or is there an easier way to track this built in?

thorny gorge Sep 10, 2021, 5:50 PM

#

Nevermind, I think the way to go might be Mouse.current.delta

wind musk Sep 10, 2021, 7:10 PM

#

I have an action "Ability", with individual bindings for the numbers 1-8. I want to use the CallBackContext to figure out which key was pressed, and then run code accordingly. I can't seem to find a way to do this? Will I really have to make 8 separate actions instead?

#

or I guess I'm fine with having 8 separate actions, but do i then need to make 8 separate methods for handling each one. It would be much nicer if i could handle each action with the same method, and just get the number from the context somehow

tame oracle Sep 10, 2021, 9:08 PM

what's the correct way to do moving (which is a vector 2)... I have so far done it, and it is working but seems like it's the wrong way, I want to know how to do it, the problem is if I pick a value then vector 2 for the action, then onperformed happens only once, can someone help please

unkempt oasis Sep 10, 2021, 9:12 PM

#

You don't do it in the on-perform that, you do a read value in update or fixed update, one sec, I'll show you how you I implemented mine.

tame oracle Sep 10, 2021, 9:12 PM

I heard that populating update or fixed update is a bad idea

   Vector2 vec = MoveAction.action.ReadValue<Vector2>();
   transform.position += transform.forward * Time.fixedDeltaTime * speed * vec.y;
   transform.position += transform.right * Time.fixedDeltaTime * speed * vec.x;

Well, far as I can tell, it's the only way to make it work correctly.

tame oracle Sep 10, 2021, 9:15 PM

it is working of course, but i head it is a bad idea.. i think the person meant it messes with the performance or something .. which is why i am trying to avoid it

unkempt oasis Sep 10, 2021, 9:15 PM

#

I'm using FixedUpdate for movement and Update for camera pitch / yaw, I think that'll look better for non-vsync, while keeping movement constrainted a bit.

#

I don't think it's all that bad, it's one object per player (all of one, unless you have multiplayer) and the _non_input-system code has always kind of done it that way anyways, so unless somebody corrects me here I think we're overthinking it.

Hey, I'm sure this will have been asked before but I couldn't find it through search. I'm trying to detect which control scheme a player is using with C#. In InputSystem 1.0 there was a property that let you access something like this (https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.0/api/UnityEngine.InputSystem.PlayerInput.html#UnityEngine_InputSystem_PlayerInput_currentControlScheme). This doesn't seem to be in version 1.1 and I can't figure it out.

Anyone have any ideas?

would it be realistic for me to have both Unity's "New" Input System work alongside unity's old Input class?

timber robin Sep 10, 2021, 11:44 PM

#

You could, sure. It's not really the intention though.

#

That said, I still use the old system for quick debugging tests. It's faster to just put a GetKeyDown somewhere to trigger something.

spark pumice Sep 10, 2021, 11:47 PM

#

willow crescent Anyone have any ideas?

Here's my code for manually switching devices. I think this is what you're asking about?

I have my own enum for different input devices (InputSettings.InputDevice) in a settings scriptable object.
controls in the below code is an instance of an InputActions class.

private void OnDeviceChanged(InputSettings.InputDevice device)
{
  switch (device)
  {
    case InputSettings.InputDevice.Gamepad:
      controls.bindingMask = new InputBinding { groups = "Gamepad" };
      break;

    case InputSettings.InputDevice.Keyboard:
      controls.bindingMask = new InputBinding { groups = "Keyboard" };
      break;
  }
}

safe forge Sep 11, 2021, 12:12 AM

I had switched to InputSystem soley because of improved device recognition, I like to handle all my inputs myself besides that. Im using the bare minimum of InputSystem and implementing everything else myself cuz i want to lmao

Before i switched, I was using a modified StandaloneInputModule that automatically spawned my own custom inputOverride and set it, to interface with my input system. It also fixed the PointerInputModule that StandaloneInputModule inherits from, there was some weird mouse selection nonsense lmao

Quickly looking through those classes that are apparently only supposed to work with Input and not InputSystem, The only thing thats actually dependant on Input is the inputOverride. So some quick modifications later, my modified InputModules should work without Input. hopefully.

Hello! , How to ignore OnMouseButton down input trough UI Button in Mobile game?

Hello!
I was wondering why my layermask does not work.
I have a groundcheck for my jump function but i cant get the ground check to work 😦

    [SerializeField] private LayerMask Ground;

    private bool IsGrounded()
    {
        Vector2 topLeftPoint = transform.position;
        topLeftPoint.x -= col.bounds.extents.x;
        topLeftPoint.y += col.bounds.extents.y;

        Vector2 bottomRightPoint = transform.position;
        bottomRightPoint.x += col.bounds.extents.x;
        bottomRightPoint.y -= col.bounds.extents.y;


        return Physics2D.OverlapArea(topLeftPoint, bottomRightPoint, Ground);
    }

    private void Jump()
    {
        Debug.Log("Jump start");
        if (IsGrounded())
        {
            Debug.Log("Is Grounded");
            rb.AddForce(new Vector2(0, jumpSpeed), ForceMode2D.Impulse);
        }
        Debug.Log("Jump stop");
    }

I get both jump debugs but not the is grounded one.
It only works if i set the player to the ground layer

dire quartz any help is appreciated and thx in advance

why is one of the adds in Rotate() += and the other = ?

and why do you assign transform.localEulerAngles twice

dire quartz Sep 11, 2021, 5:46 PM

#

warped nexus and why do you assign transform.localEulerAngles twice

yeah i figured much its not needed twice

dire quartz Sep 11, 2021, 5:47 PM

#

warped nexus why is one of the adds in Rotate() += and the other = ?

yes that's a mistake

#

i forgot to add it

#

if i don't add + it won't work

#

but i think it is pointless to look up

#

only the head should look up

#

not the whole body

dire quartz Sep 11, 2021, 6:54 PM

ok so now its giving me this

#

the movement is working but why is this showing is there something wrong with serializefield ?

unkempt oasis Sep 11, 2021, 9:11 PM

It's tricky. You generally want to separate character yaw which turns your player left and right, and pitch. You want yaw on the main character, but pitch you generally only want on the camera.

Howdy, I just need very quick help with the new Input System

I get the button input from a void like this

And I wanna get the Input Action of my InputValue value

But I'm getting this

What do I do?

can anyone please help out with this? its for a gamejam and needs to be fixed asap :/

I don't know the input system, but likely TValue here needs to be something like bool or float depending on the value. (Input action leads to Input Value). But maybe just value.isPressed will suffice for you here? At least until someone else comes along to answer:)

hello, my question is related to rebinding the keys,
when using the rebind operation, you can use rebind.WithTimeout(5f); to make OnCancel run
HOWEVER WHEN USING rebind.WithCancelingThrough("<Keyboard>/escape"); the escape button doesn't trigger the OnCancel, doesnt get triggered at all... in fact it takes escape as a binding... any help or way to make a key cancel the binding operation?? thank you

It's more DIY for sure but you can (I am not sure if it's intended behavior) assign generated C# control asset to PlayerInput and it will give callback from both. So you can mix and match your things.

But honestly most of the things you can build from PlayerInput using InputUser namespace and all that.

#

You shouldn't want to replicate that, because it's broken

#

don't multiply mouse deltas by deltaTime, it's redundant and will introduce framerate-dependent weirdness.

#

The way to get mouse input in the new input system is to create an InputAction with a "mouse delta" binding, and read its values as you see fit (event-based or polling in Update)

lavish field Sep 14, 2021, 12:02 AM

#

Also related to mouse deltas in the new input system. I've been noticing that mouse deltas aren't all that consistent. Moving the mouse approximately the same speed can result in some pretty big variations. Any suggestions on how to smooth that out?

austere grotto Sep 14, 2021, 12:06 AM

#

It should be perfectly consistent, but it's a delta from the previous frame

#

So unless you have a perfectly consistent framerate, it will vary

#

It should tell you exactly how many pixels the mouse moved since last frame though

lavish field Sep 14, 2021, 12:13 AM

#

I think being a delta since last frame explains what I'm seeing. I'm trying to determine how fast the mouse is moving, but I don't want it to be framerate-dependent.

austere grotto Sep 14, 2021, 12:22 AM

speed is distance / time

#

so: mouseDelta / Time.deltaTime gives you the mouse speed

lavish field Sep 14, 2021, 12:32 AM

#

I somehow convinced myself it had to be more complicated than that before even going back to the basics and was trying to take averages over several frames. It really was that simple. Thank you!

austere grotto Sep 14, 2021, 11:09 PM

#

wdym by "separate" them?

#

what version of the input system package are you using?

#

Input.GetButton("something") -> myInputAction.ReadValue<float>() != 0 or in version 1.1+ myInputAction.IsPressed()

#

Input.GetButtonDown("something") -> myInputAction.phase == InputActionPhase.started OR in version 1.1+ myInputAction.WasPressedThisFrame()

Something really weird is happening with my input. Around the beginning of the playtest, it works for 3 seconds normally, then completely locks up for 5 seconds, then returns to normal. I have no clue as to why this is happening.

Sorry the example is kinda janky, but it gets the idea across.

In this example the input locks up right away, and gets stuck holding the d key down, then turns back to normal.

i want my capsule (which is the player at least for now) to move in the game as the real user walks, but with this code something is pulling back the capsule

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

public class PlayerMoveAround: MonoBehaviour
{
    public Rigidbody rb;
    private Gyroscope gyro;
    public float speed = 100f;

    void Start()
    {
        rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
        gyro = Input.gyro;
        gyro.enabled = true;
    }

    void FixedUpdate()
    {
        // Apply forces to an object to match the side-to-side acceleration
        // the user is giving to the device.

        Vector3 acc = Input.gyro.userAcceleration;
        acc.x = -acc.x;
        acc.y = -acc.y * 0; //locked on the y axis so the capsule doesnt start flying

        if (acc.x > -0.03f && acc.x < 0.03f)
            acc.x = 0;

        if (acc.y > -0.03f && acc.y < 0.03f)
            acc.y = 0;

        if (acc.z > -0.03f && acc.z < 0.03f)
            acc.z = 0;


        Debug.Log(acc);

        rb.AddForce(acc * speed , ForceMode.Acceleration);
        //transform.Translate(acc * speed, Space.Self);

    }
}

that is the code i am using to do it, i tried with addforce but got problems with it
when i tried addforce i had also tried various forcemodes, and to straight up give the object that same acceleration but again, something was pulling it back to the initial position
im kinda noob in programming so sorry if some parts are messy

#

here you see that everytime i moved the capsule in any direction it was immediately pulled back

frosty raft There's no extra step to get the script to register input events is there?

There is, and there's a few different ways to do it. You could have a PlayerInput component on the gameobject that references the InputAction and uses various messaging options to trigger your scripts. It you can have your InputAction generate a C# class and implement the interface for your action map and call SetCallbacks() on an instance of your generated InputAction class from the script you want to respond to the actions.
