Top-down

austere grotto
# pliant copper Top-down

the way mouse input works is whenever you move the mouse, for that one frame you get the delta (change) from last frame

#

so whenever you're not moving the mouse you will get 0,0

#

Typically for a top down game with mouse aiming you'd have a cursor that you move around and have the player aim at the cursor

#

It just fundamentally works differently from joystick aiming

pliant copper
austere grotto
#

and yeah the code is gonna be pretty different, probably not worth trying to do it with a single InputAction

Cannot find action 'Pause/Pause[/Keyboard/escape]' with ID 'b9f0c125-46e5-4f6f-9026-9808c4fd429b' in 'Controls (UnityEngine.InputSystem.InputActionAsset)
UnityEngine.InputSystem.PlayerInput:OnEnable () (at Library/PackageCache/com.unity.inputsystem@1.0.2/InputSystem/Plugins/PlayerInput/PlayerInput.cs:1564)

from what i understand i get this error bc i removed an input but when I try to re add it with the same name and all i still get it
help ?

austere grotto

If not that, share screnshots of the action and the code

i have no idea what script could be interfering with my inputs

Oh , and show the inspector for your PlayerInput component

when i remove an input doesn't it give me errors other than the one i sent ?

#

Do you know any Native Input plugin for Unity?

#

I'm having a hard time finding one

mortal ridge
trail tundra
#

Any custom input plugin or library with (almost) 0 input lag

mortal ridge
#

use the new input system?

trail tundra
#

No, the new Input System still has a lot of input lag for a Rhythm-based game

#

I need a library or plugin which is extremely accurate

mortal ridge
#

i mean if you use the event based approach there really isn't any input lag

trail tundra
#

I still prefer a custom library tbh

mortal ridge
#

why though? you can't really get more optimized than this

mortal ridge
trail tundra
trail tundra
#

plus, unity input manager verifies the input every frame, which isn't enough

mortal ridge
trail tundra
#

Yes and I don't want it to be frame dependent since it's not accurate for rhythm games which have very specific needs

hidden laurel
# trail tundra plus, unity input manager verifies the input every frame, which isn't enough

The new InputSystem is event-based and you can access the timestamp at which the control was actuated (not when the callback was called) as a double in seconds since startup, so the API is definitely capable of providing the precise low-level information a rhythm game needs; I don't know whether anyone has profiled exactly how accurate those timestamps are, though.

trail tundra
#

If true, I have to check that then. Hope it gives me the freedom I need to change anything I need for my game, thank you!

Hi! I'm trying to use the New Input System, and I want to make the "A" and "D" keys eventually map to Player Rotation on the Y Axis.

So "W" and "S" will Map to forward and backward motion, while "A" and "D" will handle rotation (I know it's an archaic movement system)

How do I best design the input system to accommodate this?

I started out with what the usual tutorials tell me to use: The Move Function being on a 2D vector and taking in four keybinds for Up, Down, Left, and Right.

But instead I want to design it so instead of mapping Move to Four Values, I want it to map to 2 values, and I want Rotation to also be on Two Values. How do I set that up in the Input Manager?

#

Instead of this, I want Move to have 2 binds that I can access, and Rotate to have another 2

unknown.png
#

I'm assuming Vector2 is the wrong Control Type

hidden laurel
#

You should be able to leave the control type as "Any" and it will figure it out, but "Axis" would be the correct one.

last mist
#

Oh! So I should: "Add Positive/Negative Binding" ?

#

Oh Great!!

#

Thank you very much

hidden laurel
last mist
#

Thank you! Really appreciate it

#

Oh one other question about that, when I read the value, instead of context.ReadValue<Vector2>()
Should I do something like:
context.ReadValue<int>() or something?

#

or float rather

hidden laurel
#

float, yep.

last mist
#

that seems to throw an error telling me I can't convert a vector2 to a float

#

Oh whooops absolutely my bad sorry

#

lol I was looking at an error for my function call still calling for a vector2 xD

Hello, I am attempting to get the new input system to work with an off brand (MOGA XP5-A) gamepad that is recognized as a joystick HID. In the Input Analysis Debugger I am receiving updates from the device just fine, however the Input System itself doesn't seem to pass on any of the actions to my code.

The controller does nothing in game/editor despite being set up similarly to my X-Box 360 controller (and mouse and keyboard) that works flawlessly. I would prefer not to have to reconfigure the HID as a Gamepad. Strangely on an android build of the app using the same controller in bluetooth mode connected to my phone, it registers inputs just fine, it's only in the editor and x64/x32 pc builds that the input is not recognized. Anyone have experience with such a problem or working with Joystick recognized HIDs?

As you can see in the screenshot, the stick control of the controller is reading properly in the Input Analysis Debugger with Y at -1 and Down at 1.

Thank you.

Hey, I'm trying to get smooth rotation for a top-down shooter using the new input system. I've found a way to make the rotation smooth in the Unity editor, but when I go and build the game, the rotation becomes jittery. Also, I have it set up to use both mouse input and the right joystick on a gamepad, but for some reason, rotation with the gamepad isn't working. Does anyone know why it is jittering in the build or what is causing the gamepad to not work for rotation? Here is the link to my whole script: https://www.toptal.com/developers/hastebin/cunetigita.csharp

frigid ridge
#

Is interpolation enabled on the rigidbody?

pliant copper
#

Yes

frigid ridge
#

How are you moving it?

#

Any changes to the transform will break interpolation

pliant copper
#

Here's my movement function. I also attached the entire script in the original message if you need to see anything else.

unknown.png
frigid ridge
#

Ah, yea setting the rotation will not respect interpolation

pliant copper
#

Also, the rotation is still jittery in the build. I have no idea what's going on anymore.

how do you handle "GetButtonDown" when transitioning from old input system to new? is there a way to not use a variable (like the old one)?

pliant helm
#

Mouse.current.leftButton.wasPressedThisFrame

it also exists for the keyboard

the mouse and the keyboard are two separate classes now

Any idea why the event handler on this would not get removed / action stays around when exiting play mode in the editor?

If I exit play mode, and then enter again, the event handler (execute here) is firing twice, and then three times if I exit again and play again, etc etc.

public class AbilityMotor : MonoBehaviour {
    public List<Ability> abilities = new List<Ability>();

    Animator animator;

    void Awake() {
      animator = GetComponent<Animator>();
    }

    void Start() {
      abilities.ForEach(ability => {
        var action = ability.actionReference.ToInputAction();
        action.Enable();

        action.started += _ => ability.Execute(animator);
      });
    }
  }
elfin ridge

nvm got around it like this, still weird though

    void Start() {
      abilities.ForEach(ability => {
        ability.actionReference.action.Enable();
        ability.actionReference.action.started += HandleAction;
      });
    }

    void OnDisable() {
      abilities.ForEach(ability => {
        ability.actionReference.action.started -= HandleAction;
      });
    }


    void HandleAction(CallbackContext ctx) {
      abilities.ForEach(x => {
        if (x.actionReference.action == ctx.action) {
          x.Execute(animator);
        }
      });

I am having a problem where when I try to switch from the new input controller to the old one, my unity closes and re opens and it is still the new one.

Anyone able to get virtualmouse working in 2021.2? Trying out the gamepad mouse cursor sample but the cursor disappears and stays locked in the same spot. Verified that it works fine in the 2020 LTS.

#

So I guess 2020 LTS is using input system 1.02 and 2021.2 will use 1.1

#

Kinda strange that buttons clicks will work, just not joystick movement.

I managed to fix it by setting the supported devices

(Input system)

pliant copper
#

I'm trying to create a game that has a local multiplayer mode that uses controllers.

I want to make it so haptics can play for each individual player. The problem is, I'm not sure how to get a reference to the gamepad of a specific player. I'm not sure if Gamepad.current is relative to the player that the line of code is in or if it's relative to all players.

If it is relative to all players, is there any way for me to get a reference to the gamepad via the PlayerInput class without knowing the index of the device? If not, I also have an OnDeviceChange callback that can get a reference to the current device, but I'm not sure how to check if that current device is a gamepad or not, because I also have keyboard/mouse support.

Can anyone help me find a way to get a reference to a specific player's gamepad?

Something like that probably

how can i achieve key repetition if i hold a key, but using the windows parameters (where you can set the key repetition speed) ?

Hi, I'm kinda new to the new input system. And I was wondering if someone could help me figure out how to pull of a basic UI/Button-to-function() operation with it.

zinc stump
night lake
night lake
#

Thanks. I'm great at dumb questions.

#

Anyway while the examples shed light on the input system itself, how do i make it work for a simple thing like a UI button, to activate a function (I'm talking about menus)
Do I have to create separate actions for every menu item?

#

Right now most of the examples feel like I'm trying to kill a fly with a giant hammer.

#

Okay

hidden laurel
austere grotto
#

Are you asking if you can have multiple subscribers to the events on the InputActions?

#

Yes

#

not a problem

night lake
#

Unless raycast is happening all the time, and i wait for the 'click' event first, and then check where the raycast was happening at the time, and activate the corresponding element?

austere grotto
#

you don't have to do any manual raycasting or any input handling of your own at all for that

#

I think the Input Module is what @hidden laurel was referring to when they said "inputmanager"

night lake
#

but for some reason the buttons i placed on the canvas dont recieve clicks

#

if i set a button as the first element, it does highlight. if i press enter, it works (activates it). I can also navigate with the cursor keys. But the moment I try to click, everything loses highlight, no matter which button it is. And then nothing activates again.

#

I'm using the new InputSystem and I'm having some trouble with _playerInput.currentControlScheme

#

namely it returns Null when the "Default Scheme" of my PlayerInput component is set to <Any>

#

When I change it to Keyboard&Mouse, _playerInput.currentControlScheme now correctly returns Keyboard&Mouse

#

But.. my controls don't work any more! 🙀

#

anyone know what's going on?

haughty thorn
#

It seems that it's related to fact that I have two PlayerInput components

#

one for the Player object and one for the GameFlowManager object

#

Seems that you can only have one PlayerInput? How do I pause my game then?

haughty thorn
#

Is it a good idea to have two Player Inputs?

haughty thorn
#

Is there anyone here?

mortal ridge
#

i personally don't recommend the playerinput component. just let the c# class be generated and hook into an instance whenever you need

austere grotto
#

Yeah to expand on that I'd only recommend PlayerInput if you're using it with PlayerInputManager and you're making a local multiplayer game

This is a bool, is there way to have it be set to true when pressed, but then back to false upon lifting finger off key?

        if (context.performed)
        {
            pressedInteractInput = context.control.IsPressed();
        }
#

If there's an IsPressed() method I would assume there's something similar for detecting when key is down/up.

austere grotto
#

should work

foggy thistle
#

Hm looks like using started gives two calls though.

austere grotto
#

it may depend on how you've configured the action

foggy thistle
#

It's using unity events

#

I'm just trying to make it so I can have generic "interact" key while on the player controls, which then could be paired with several different bools in order to make different things happen.

#

i.e. If in the shop trigger and press interact, then switch to ShopControls input, etc.

#

if i do performed then canceled, then it's false -> true -> false lol

#

I guess that's fine?

#

Might be buggy though

foggy thistle
#

yea 😦

foggy thistle
#

If anyone has some insight on this, i'm all open. I am trying to make a generic/global "Interact" key, that I can then pair with any bool to do different things. Examples:
if interact && inFrontOfDoor
if interact && atBoat

etc.

I am using Unity Events, and I currently have interact set up as a button (mapped to E specifically). Need a way for that when button is pressed it's true, so I can do whatever interaction, and upon release it's set back to false.

austere grotto
foggy thistle
austere grotto
#

how is the INput Action set up. The value/control type. The bindings. The interactions

foggy thistle
austere grotto
#

yeah get rid of the interaction

foggy thistle
#

I did

#

I just addded it

austere grotto
#

with no interaction you can use started/canceled and it should work fine

foggy thistle
#

because it was the only thing i could get working

#

but i tried everything.

#

I ended up getting a shitty method working like this, with the interaction:

# 
    private void OnTriggerStay(Collider other)
    {
        if (other.CompareTag("Player"))
        {
            openStoreText.SetActive(true);
            if (!isStoreMenuOpen && InputManager.Instance.pressedInteractInput)
            {
                isStoreMenuOpen = true;
                print("Open Store");
                //Switch to StoreControls
            }
                
        }
    }
austere grotto
#

another option is just:

bool interact => interactAction.ReadValue<float> != 0;```
foggy thistle
#

Ok, going to try again, with no interactions.

#

Which is how i do all my other inputs as well, just swear it wasn't working.

austere grotto
#

also what binding(s) do you have

#

and are there interactions on the bindings

foggy thistle
#

I've confused myself so much now that I don't even know how to get a reference to the interact action using interactAction.ReadValue<float> != 0;

#

Im not using a generated c# class

#

Shouldn't it just be context?

#

bool interact => context.ReadValue<float> != 0;

#

(doesnt work tho)

austere grotto
foggy thistle
#

Ah FindAction

austere grotto
#

and then in this case you wouldn't be using any callback methods at all

#

you can just have
bool interactCurrentlyPressed => interactAction.ReadValue<float> != 0; as a property in your class

#

and call that whenever you need to know if it's currently pressed or not

#

Of course interactAction would need to be a member variable, that you set in Awake() or Start()

foggy thistle
#

Hm

#

ok let me see if i understand..

#

So no Unity Event to connect at all?

austere grotto
#

right

dapper spade
#

Hey, i have this weird issue where my controller controls are working but not my keyboard ones

    }
# 
    private void Start()
    {
        interactAction = playerInput.actions.FindAction("PlayerControls/Interact");
    }
#

Think I'll just remain with the way I have it functioning at the moment, and see how this pans out with future interactable things.

#

Feel like I've been heads down and just confusing myself for the past 3hrs with no breaks.

you don't need any setter at all, or a backing field

and so did i

foggy thistle
#

damn

#

thanks 😦

#

Ok so you're right (of course :P) Praetor, this works. @austere grotto

    private void OnTriggerStay(Collider other)
    {
        if (other.CompareTag("Player"))
        {
            openStoreText.SetActive(true);
            if (!isStoreMenuOpen && InputManager.Instance.InteractCurrentlyPressed)
            {
                isStoreMenuOpen = true;
                print("Open Store");
                //Switch to store 
            }
                
        }
    }
#

But now i want to see if I can use OnTriggerEnter, rather than Stay

#

I had this as a workaround for my solution.

#

Well, no, guess it wouldn't work on Enter, since it would need to constantly check.

austere grotto
foggy thistle
#

ok, so when I was doing that i was getting like 10 debug prints

austere grotto
#

set another variable true/false in OnTriggerEnter/Exit

foggy thistle
#

But maybe now it will be different

austere grotto
#

and then it's like this in Update:

if (isInRange && InteractCurrentlyPressed) {
  DoTheThing();
}```
foggy thistle
#

makes sense.

#

Thank you!

Can anyone help me with the new input system? I am trying to get a character to move in the negative and positive direction as well as jump

#

The only thing that seems to be wrong is the fact that my script component for the character is not letting me edit the movement/jump speed, which is not allowing me to test if it is actually working correctly.

Hey there I have a question about using the Input system. So if I create a C# class from the input asset file, and I manually create an instance of that class inside a MonoBehaviour (hook up the listeners and all of that) is it safe to instantiate different Input objects(?) on different MonoBehaviours or, should I create a single input object and have a reference to that on all my MonoBehaviours?

//Should I do this on each Component (is it safe?)
class Component: MonoBehaviour { 
  InputClass inputObject = new InputClass();
  /*Set the listeners in OnEnable and OnDisabled*/
}

//Or is this better
class InputEvents {
  public static InputClass InputObject = new InputClass();
  //Private constructor, etc...
}
class Component: MonoBehaviour { 
  InputClass inputObject = InputEvents.InputObject;
  /*Set the listeners in OnEnable and OnDisabled*/
}
austere grotto
#

It may actually be necessary to do that in some cases, for example if you want to support local multiplayer, it's probably best for each player to have their own instance.

#

The advantages of sharing an instance are:

  • Disabling or enabling a particular action or action map will be able to affect all scripts that are sharing that single instance
  • performance/memory usage will be better
pale jacinth
#

I see

austere grotto
#

Disadvantages of sharing an instance are:

  • you need to centrally manage that instance and get a reference of it to all the scripts that are interested
  • Disabling or enabling a particular action or action map will be able to affect all scripts that are sharing that single instance (this might be a disadvantage for you too)
pale jacinth
#

There seems to be no mention unity's docs about such a case (which shouldn't be that uncommon I think) so I decided it was best to ask

frigid ridge
#

Well in a case where you are reinventing the Player Input component you can probably use the component as a reference 😛

austere grotto
#

😛

#

yeah I'd use PlayerINput/PlayerInputManager if I was doing local multiplayer

pale jacinth
# austere grotto yeah I'd use PlayerINput/PlayerInputManager if I was doing local multiplayer

I would use that, but the thing is events on a single game object will be fired whether I want them or not, so for example I want to have different Components handle different inputs in the same GameObject. So if I disable the component that handles jumps, it won't jump, but if I use the PlayerInput/PlayerInputManager the event will be fired regardless and the action will be executed.

frigid ridge
austere grotto
#

but - are you doing local multiplayer?

#

if not, there's not really a great reason to use PlayerInput anyway

pale jacinth
#

It's not premature optimization though, it mostly that I've found it easier to wrap my head around logic than a bunch of ifs in an update loop

frigid ridge
#

Branching logic is not a sin in DOTS in the same way it is in shaders 😄

pale jacinth
frigid ridge
#

I would personally be more worried about the input implementation controlling the logic of your components

#

I think the chance of switching input systems is a lot more real than the port to DOTS.

pale jacinth
#

Disabled component: no jump; enabled: jump

frigid ridge
#

Yes, and input implementation messing with that doesn't seem ideal to me

pale jacinth
#

could you elaborate

For the 4th time (in this project, i've had more in others where none of the fixes work here), I have had this issue. my unity events are only being invoked on one of my player inputs, the other one only works with a controller even though i have it set up this way:

unknown.png
#

for reference, this is the one that works

unknown.png
#

i noticed that they have seperate 0 and 1?

#

can i not have 2 inputs that get input from 1 player

#

i pressed some random buttons on other gameobjects and fixed this- unity please fix this mess of an input system, or at least make it consistent

hidden laurel
#

I don't use PlayerInput myself, but I know that each PlayerInput object is intended to represent one player, so if you have two PlayerInput objects that's essentially telling the game that the inputs on them are for two different players. It wouldn't surprise me if (for example) you need to tell the system that a second player has joined in order for the second PlayerInput instance to start taking input? I don't know specifically, though.

It also wouldn't surprise me if it avoids pairing automatically pairing multiple PlayerInput objects with the same control scheme, even if they both have it as a default (since most games would not want multiple players per controller); I think if you want more than one player on the same KB+M you need to explicitly tell it to do that, it won't attempt to do it automatically.

    }

It seems like MovementInput is blocked by RunInput which makes little sense imo
MovementInputAxis.canceled is never called, but RunInput.canceled does get called
The input debugger registers the keypresses though.

#

MovementInputAxis is a Vector2 Value and RunInput a Button

#

Also, MovementInputAxis events work perfectly fine as long as RunInput is not being held it seems ? really confused about this

That's fine, there's no shame in being a beginner. But to make a game in Unity you will need to either learn to code or collaborate with someone who already knows; you won't be able to get anywhere by begging for scraps of code on discord (if you'll forgive the idiom).
If you don't want to learn C#, Unity's Visual Scripting is designed to be easier to get going with for people who are new to programming.

azure field
#

There’s so many forms online that say how they do it and it never works

I thought this would be a simple thing just to register a click from and input but it’s not apparently and i don’t have the time in my life to learn c#

I’ve already abandoned so many projects because I got stuck on apparently simple things and I don’t want this to be another one of those

Then don't abandon it; put in the time to figure it out, or join a team with other people with different skills who will support and work with you. If your response to a problem you hit is "hoping some random stranger will solve it for you" then that's essentially the same as giving up.

Unfortunately this isn't really much for us to go on? As you've said, you've tried most of the common remedies already. My advice for how to track it down would be to simplify things as much as possible; start with a trivial charactercontroller that's just moving in a line through a void at fixed speed, then slowly add features from your movement system until the problem starts happening. Knowing what's triggering it should be a big help in figuring out why, and how to stop it.

why it does nothing?

#

(the tab button)

robust dune
#

Hello, I have a character controller based off the FirstPersonController starter asset, it's been working fine but recently mouse look has gone haywire. Looking around using Pointer[delta] in the input system results in strange delta values that reset to zero and cause mouse skipping. My code still very much resembles the initial starter asset (Camera rotation in late update (really no changes from initial starter asset)) and I think the issue somehow lies in the actual input system. I have a recording of the input analysis debugger showing the strange delta vector2. Anyone know what might be happening?

#

This isn't a framerate issue as well, this is running at a stable and solid 60FPS. Occurs both in editor and builds.

#

I just created a default project and imported the same FirstPersonController starter asset and tested, it didn't have this mouse input problem the first few times I tested. I just tried again, just to look at the mouse delta again in the working project and it as well started to have this same issue leading me to believe this may really be a problem with the input system but I do find that hard to believe. This is on 2021.2.1f1

In the meantime I have switched to enabling both the old and new Input System. Utilizing Input.GetAxis("Mouse X/Y") instead completely fixes the mouse stuttering issue, leading me even more to believe this is a problem with the new Input System.

Like a void left, void right ect

#

For the event trigger I mean

seems like you want a ui dpad or something. depending on your ui element, that one might already have arguments what direction was pressed or events for each direction or smth else. how you have to handle it in the end really depends on your ui element

"should" it's not finished and despite their claims, is not production ready, and you can't do simple things like get tab input with it, with any more certainty than with the current system.

we have not had any problems with it and it sped up our workflows immensely. wtf do you want

# elfin radish its does nothing

The only "solution" I came up with for tab and caps lock problems was to use double tap on shift like on a phone, and triple tap of spacebar for tab, and teach users about that. I know... it's ridiculous. But that's what I had to do. I hope this is somewhat helpful.

Ok

there's no tab in touch controls

If you haven't come across any show stoppers with the new input system, I'm happy for you. Denying that there are many others experiencing real problems that really impact them, and many of these have been admitted to by the devs of Unity, is just bizarre levels of confirmation bias.

I believe only the on brand controllers are natively recognized as Gamepads. I have an off brand xbox licensed controller (Moga XP5-A) and it gave me problems as a Joystick/HID

Getting the input system to recognize it as a Gamepad is possible but a lot of work I believe.

I just found an incredibly easy work around!
You can emulate an xbox controller and Unity recognizes it as such (cause windows does) 🙂

Regarding the new input system, I've been trying to make two keys, one for positive (1) and another negative (-1), I've set the "Action type" to "Value" and the "Control type" to "Integer" with two keys for negative and positive.

How can I read it correctly in code?

It is meant to be like a "left and right" cursor where on my code I'll use as "-1" and "1". Any suggestions or advice would be highly appreciated.

What composite are you using?

I considered making two buttons as a "easier way" but I think an int would be better :P Do you think I should follow by using two buttons?

No

I mean it should be readable as int

oh okay I discovered my issue

it is working now!!! I was reading the value through a float function on the code, so it was returning an int on a float function, which wasn't quite okay haha

Hello all, has anyone else experienced a strange issue with the new Input System and android where suddenly on screen controls just stop working? I have a game with on screen d-pad for movement and various buttons for accessing in game menu, confirm selection, cancel, etc. While my player is reading through text, randomly the "advance" or "confirm" button will just stop responding all together. Only way I've found to fix it is to either leave the game (just go to home screen) or swipe down from top to open the notifications menu. After doing this and coming back to the game, it works just fine, all buttons are responsive, etc. I've done some debugging and it just seems like the events are not getting fired for some reason or another. I tried updating Unity (started with 2020.1.17f1 and upgraded to 2021.1.27f1), upgrading the Input system, rebuilding my input actions map. Nothing seems to fix it.

#

(apologies for the long post) but I'm at my wits end trying to figure out what's going wrong and why leaving/coming back fixes it

I have the following issue :
The cancelled event is called for a Vector2 Value input action when it goes to 0,0
However pressing e.g A and D at the same time still results in a 0,0 vector without actually cancelling anything

#

how would i make it like not do that ;_;

#

I want the cancelled event to only be invoked when no keys that modify the axis are being pressed

austere grotto
#

Are you saying canceled is being called when both buttons are pressed?

wispy coral
#

nope

#

yeah its being called when e.g both W and S are being pressed

austere grotto
#

Ok I guess it just gets called whenever the resulting vector is 0

#

Is this bad for your game logic somehow?

wispy coral
#

Very bad, yes

I can work around it but I really do not want to

Looks like you're have to work around it

        if (axisValue > 0f)

            playerRigidbody.AddRelativeTorque(Vector3.forward, ForceMode.Acceleration);
        } 
        else if (axisValue < 0f)

you can handle the timing aspects of this with interactions: https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.0/manual/Interactions.html

SlowTap + Tap together should get you the behavior from your first case. context.performed tells you when all the conditions were met, so that's all you'd need to check for in this method.

If you want behavior to trigger every frame, you're probably best off either polling the InputAction in Update or setting a bool in this method based on the phase (started/cancelled) and doing your work in Update based on that.

Hey!
I'm currently using the IDragHandler interface for a mobile game I'm making however it cannot handle multitouch input, does anyone know a fix/replacement?

noble socket
#

@willow violet im not sure that's a unity issue, windows doesn't provide any API I know of to determine which mouse input is from which, their drivers both add events to the same messageloop. I think you would need some custom mouse driver to handle multiple mice independantly

Any chance of pointing me to the API? when i looked into it everything i found required a custom mouse driver that attempted to fake two cursors, or used the touch input to fake it

My team and I have noticed that our game is dropping joystick input from time to time, usually a few frames at a time and it gets more frequent with FPS inconsistencies. Nothing else input related has been touched, but we think it might have happened with an engine or input system update.

The only things we can guess are that our script execution order is set up wrong, or that the input system is just bugged. Has anyone else experienced this?

Hey, I am using new unity input system so I replaced all my OnMouseEnter on colliders with IPointerEnterHandler and added to main camera component PhysicsRaycaster. My problem is that canvas is blocking raycasts from PhysicsRaycaster even I set event mask to dont react with UI layer, but it still is blocked by UI. It is a bug or I need to do something extra to ignore UI layer? Ignoring other layers works with no problem.

Does anyone know if there is an easy way to forward mouse events on a RawTexture to the attached camera? I have mouse events working if I use the camera as the player camera but I'm trying to make a UI with the Camera built into that UI.

You will have a much easier time simply overlaying UI elements on top of the raw image on the same canvas

Otherwise you'd have to do some custom InputModule stuff I imagine

I had another solution that looked at distance the mosue was moved while held down but it was not consistent enough

austere grotto

have you tried using the built in IBeginDragHandler, IEndDragHandler, IDragHandler event system stuff?

#

though I guess it needs to be on a certain object for that

#

And/or have you tried actually setting up an InputAction for the pointer position and mouse click instead of using Pointer.current?

Also, again, maybe try printing out Pointer.current.name during the Pointer.current.press.wasPressedThisFrame if statement

maybe there's another device besides your touch pad

# patent aspen Does anyone know if there is an easy way to forward mouse events on a RawTexture...

It's a bit hacky, but my solution to this was to use an InputProcessor that transformed pointer position events from "real" screen space into the MainCamera's screen space. That might not work for you, though, because it looks like you need to handle events on both the full screen UI and the game window simultaneously? If you want to be able to cast rays into the small camera view and hit 3D objects I think you would need to subclass PhysicsRaycaster and override ComputeRayAndDistance.

how can i make multi tap detect:
tap and hold like in minecraft i u need to sprint

#

any ideas how to do it?

#

normal multi tap dont work

#

any ideas how to fix?

drifting bison
#

Are there any bugs with the "hold" mechanic right now? Ive set up to bindings on the X key.
The top one has 1 binding "Hold" with hold duration of 2, which means it should not do "performed" before the button is held for 2 seconds... ?
The bottom one has 1 binding "Tap", with a max tap duration of 1.

However, in game, once I even touch the X button below press point, it responds with the hold.performed instead of tap.performed.
I never get a response from the tap function at all.
And no matter how I configure it, top/bottom/pressure/durations... it will still act in the same way

hidden laurel
#

Do either of them work correctly if only one of the bindings is set up?

drifting bison
#

i removed all bindings on both, and now they both fire at once, working correct both of them

#

"actions"

#

then I tried adding the "hold" interaction on the top action (the hold action), and set duraiont to 2, but still they both fire once i press the button

#

if I then add a "tap" interaction on the bottom action, this will not register anymore

#

both are set up with .performed in the code

Hi there I have an action of type tap (I want it to trigger just when a user presses a key and not as a hold) but I always get false if I use value.isPressed;

#

How do I get the "this is tapped" from the input value?

#

I have another action for the same key to be held and that works fine

#

ahh wait, I just removed all processors and it is all good I think, made it seem like I needed one

Create a new Input Action object and it works now. Weird.

#

I find the new input system to be a bit of a nightmare tbh, I don't think it's worth it, at least for me

#

It's overly complicated and I remember trying to do things that just weren't even implemented yet (involving holding down key combinations and stuff)

#

The new input system is good if you have both simplified game-y controls + you want easily reconfigurable bindings without rolling something yourself tho

#

I've just learned to use Unity recently and i have no idea how to do universal cross platform input. After some Youtube searching, i found out that the new Input kind of solve my problem for me (in theory).

#

So I'm trying to have different behaviour for a button depending on if you hold it for X seconds or if you quickly tap it

#

I've a "Hold" interaction to an InputAction

# 
    public void OnUse(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
    {
        if (context.started)
        {
            Debug.Log("started!");
        }
        if (context.performed)
        {
            HoldUse();
            Debug.Log("performed!");
        }
        if (context.canceled)
        {
            if (context.WasPerformed){
              QuickUse();  
            }
            Debug.Log("cancelled!");
        }
    }
#

so, performed is never called if I quickly tap the button, so that's great!

#

but how do I check (in cancelled probably) if the InputAction was performed or n,ot?

#

Is there a function WasPerformed() to check this?

Has anyone successfully used RawInput to get controller data from C++ ... and then also made Unity's Input system work correctly? (the problem is that Windows only allows one app/window to access controller data at once - I can get all the controller data, but if I do that, Unity cannot receive inputs any more)

#

(right now I have multiple mice + gamepads + etc all working correctly - which I can't get to work in plain Unity, but works fine if you use the C++ APIs - but I'd really like to use UnityUI/UIToolkit/etc, and UnityInput 😦 )

why would the input system "UnityEngine.InputSystem"

Use a normal binding, bound to the stick axis you want

The other method only gives me 0 /+1 or -1 , no decimal values in-between

That'll be down to how you set up the action or the binding

I want to disable certain inputs. I am able to do this sucessfully in a non-vr project. For example, if I want to disable Jumping I can simply say something like:

playerControls.Player.Jump.Disable();

However, in VR, I want to disable Turn input. This is located on Snap Turn Provider script. For some reason,

XRIDefaultInputActions playerActions = new XRIDefaultInputActions();
playerActions.XRILeftHand.Turn.Disable();

This does not work.

for a frequent event such as mouse move, is it better to subscribe to events or to read their values in Update loop?

or it doesn't matter and is a question of code design?

Okay. I'm successfully able to do this in a non-VR project (that is, create a new instance of input actions and disabling that). This leads me to believe that creating a new instance of the input system (the thing that looks like a map??) is not a problem in non-VR projects but is one in VR projects. However, I'm not able to "assign" XRIDefaultInputActions (there is no placeholder on the gameObject where I can drag and drop this component. I have the field as public.

austere grotto
#

Where do you get it from in the first place?

granite tree
atomic meteor
#

i think of it more as another update loop, rather than a callback

austere grotto
atomic meteor
#

the InputSystem fires callbacks when the desired inputs are pressed, and aren't checked every frame

granite tree
atomic meteor
#

yes and no. when the Input System sends data, you can do whatever you want with it, whenever you want. ill grab an example

granite tree
granite tree
atomic meteor
# 
public void OnJump(InputAction.CallbackContext context) { //im called when the input system detects that the jump button has changed state
  if (context.ReadValueAsButton()) {
    // get here if the button is down
    // call some jump method
  }
}

it's not exactly "interrupting" anything, it's just another step. if a change is detected, it'll be called early during the next update step i believe, since the script execution order is lower (or higher? not sure, but it happens sooner)
here, i can store the button state as a class variable for later, maybe for use in Update
for one-shot button actions, i tend to just fire an animation/coroutine

austere grotto
atomic meteor
#

i have fixed update step at like 0.5 because i don't use physics ☺️

#

plus physics turned off in player settings 👀

granite tree
austere grotto
#

Even if you have it set to .001, some of your users will run the game at a higher framerate than that and you will still miss frames. FixedUpdate is simply not the place to poll input

atomic meteor
#

what are you doing in between frames that you need non-existent latency?

granite tree
atomic meteor
#

maybe im not explaining it well enough

granite tree
# atomic meteor maybe im not explaining it well enough

No, you said it perfectly, you don't know any more than anyone else about when the interrupts come from the New Input System, and it's true that it's not capable of keeping up with modern sampling and reporting rates from things like the iPhone 13 Pro models, gaming phones or even the long established iPad Pro Motion's faster inputs.

  |---------------v----------->|-----------<--------|
                            callback

from what i understand, it works like this.
if input is detected anywhere between frames, the callback will fire during at the beginning of the update loop, before the next frame

granite tree
granite tree
austere grotto
#

It still runs as part of the normal update loop

#

You'd need a separate input handling thread

granite tree
austere grotto
#

But I'll try what you said

granite tree
austere grotto
#

I know it does additional FixedUpdate that's how it can run it as part of the frame loop

granite tree
#

Also, make sure you're doing some work in the fixedUpdates, this is less true when you don't have physics acctually doing anything in your scene. You need to have a real world game of physics happening, otherwise the fixedUpdates all bunch together because they know they have nothing to actually do.

tame oracle
#

I see, thanks guys

granite tree
# tame oracle I see, thanks guys

I'm basically agreeing with you. It's borked with fixedUpdate. It shouldn't be, but it is. You can use the old input system with fixedUpdate, with a few concessions, and it works very well.

olive loom
#

Why doesnt the new input system get any values if they are fetched from a FixedUpdate anymore?

tame oracle
#

I can still use in Update, right?

granite tree
# tame oracle I see, thanks guys

Just be absolutely certain to set fixedUpdate to something other than 0.02. Pick a value that's 2x faster than frame rate, if you can get away with the overhead of physics being processed twice per frame. This makes smoother movement, faster responsiveness and fixes all sorts of funkiness with regards timings.

tame oracle
#

right now i'm polling mouse pos in Update and applying cam changes in LateUpdate, by the book

can be changed to Fixed

Why on earth didn't they give the New Input System a unique thread with its own polling mechanisms?

austere grotto
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

me myself i'd rather just forget old input system ever existed 😄

Do you just make different action maps to switch between different ingame functionalities? Like if I want to switch between moveto click input style to wasd with use of a skill

timber hare
#

Usually UI interactions (menu) is in a different action map. Also like specific things like movement on land vs. in water

Hey, im using the new input system to get touch controls up an running. I added an On-Screen Stick component to my image and setup my player controls. But my image doesnt seem to be responding to my touch... It was working fine the first time i added it, not sure if i did anything but it wont move or anything. Tried in a new unity project, same issue

#

Anyone got a clue as to what i might be doin wrong?

austere grotto
coarse junco
#

I do yes

#

It was added automatically along with my canvas

austere grotto

#

the iinput module has no action bindings

austere grotto
#

The default fields and bindings should pop up

#

but right now since they all say "None", nothing's going to work

coarse junco
#

wtf... huh, you're right

#

confused

#

Did i do something wrong here or is this just some weird bug?

austere grotto
coarse junco
#

Ahhh, whoops hahawhat

#

well, thank you, i is idiot

I have a problem with the new input system that makes it that when I get out of a scene the get back to it (or just reload it) I get this error every time I press a button:

Your script should either check if it is null or you should not destroy the object.
reloading the scene gets the same problem```
The functions seems so be called from a gameobject that doesn't exist anymore since one of the line that causes this problem is: 
transform.position += Vector3.down;


this is how I use the input system: ``` map = inputActionAsset.FindActionMap("controls");
        map.Enable();
        map["down"].performed += OnDown;
        map["down"].canceled += OffDown;
        map["left"].performed += OnLeft;
        map["left"].canceled += OffLeft;```
I can do a null check for every input but it'll make the code run one more time every time I reload the scene 


I think what I'm looking for is if there's a way to completely disable the inputActionAsset when I destroy an object or reload a scene
#

I found the solution I just had to do:
map["down"].performed -= OnDown;
map["down"].canceled -= OffDown;
map["left"].performed -= OnLeft;
map["left"].canceled -= OffLeft;
etc... before I reload the scene

Hey guys i’m using the new input system and i have a bug where whenever i press it once it acts like it pressed 3 times

austere grotto
# elder spear

Like I said you need to look at that parameter context

#

you are currently ignoring it

elder spear
#

What do i need to do with it?

#

I basically need 1 player to join each tiem i press it

austere grotto
#

Check if it was performed

#

rather than started or canceled

strong skiff
elder spear
#

It is performed three times

#

I put a debug.log(context) and it shows 3 lines

austere grotto
#

put cs Debug.Log(context.phase);

elder spear
#

Okay its doing started performed canceled

#

Thats making it interact three times

#

How do i make it only perform the action once?

austere grotto
elder spear
#

How do i do that o.O sorry im really bad at unity

austere grotto
#

Have you heard of if statements?

elder spear
#

Yea

austere grotto
#

Use one of those.

elder spear
#

What do i call it?

#

If what

austere grotto
#

if context.phase is performed, as we've been discussing

elder spear
#

So put my code inside if(context.phase) {}

austere grotto
#

then you will get intelliSense and see your errors and it will be much easier to write code

elder spear
#

Ok yeah theres an error

#

How do i put it is performed

austere grotto
elder spear
#

I’m looking at it but idk where am i putting this

#

After declaring it

#

I put if (context.phase = performed) theres a error

#

How do i write it

austere grotto
#

You are missing C# basics.

elder spear
#

Sorry i just really need this one thing to work for a project

austere grotto
#

I think you should invest in some time learning the fundamentals of C#

elder spear
#

Ik i’m really bad at this just want to get this over with

austere grotto
#

It will pay off in terms of many hours and days of your time saved

#

Its not something i want to do thats why but school project

#

Ok its working now

#

But is there a reason only one of my controllers can input that action?

#

They can move later but to join games only the first controller can make players join

vast wren
#

I'm using the new input system and I'm trying to make the player able to remap keys so I used the "Rebinding UI" sample from the package but it only seems to work half of the time in the editor and never works when I actually build the project does anyone know a solution ? (the only thing I did was adding the 3 elements that have a blue bar to make it work)

Inside a Canvas I have UI Buttons that should be responsible for "left", "right","down" and "up". Is it possible to define them as responsible Buttons in the Input Manager instead of Keyboard Buttons?

Is there an new Input System?

austere grotto
#

THere's one that's been around for a few years now.

tame oracle
#

If so where can I get the new one

Ok thanks

Guys, why does my new input system always stop working for nothing?

#

I didn't make any changes and just from restarting my pc, now my input system don't work

# 
        private void Awake()
        {
            mover = GetComponent<Mover>();
            combater = GetComponent<Combater>();

            inputActions = new PlayerInputActions();
            inputActions.Player.Enable();
            inputActions.Player.Jump.performed += Jump;
            inputActions.Player.Attack.performed += Attack;
            inputActions.Player.Movement.performed += OnMovement;
        }

        void OnMovement(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
        {
            Debug.Log(context.ReadValue<Vector2>());
        }

        private void FixedUpdate()
        {
            Vector2 movementVector = inputActions.Player.Movement.ReadValue<Vector2>();
            mover.Move(movementVector.x);
        }
#

The OnMovement function does work, but the readValue in the fixedUpdate doesnt

austere grotto
#

or even just capturing the Vector2 in a variable in OnMovement and using it in FIxedUpdate

teal phoenix
austere grotto
teal phoenix
#

Yeah

#

The attack and the jump actions works

#

While im pressing the keys

unknown.png
#

It does work in the Update method

#

Im so lost 😂

austere grotto
#

input handling isn't intended to be done in FixedUpdate generally anyway, unless you've set your update mode to FixedUpdate in the input system settings

Is there a way of mimicking a Event System Action and Input Manager(Old) from a script?
Like if I press the Left Arrow Key on PC it moves Left I want to mimic this behavior into a script and if I press a button down have the same effect like the Arrow Key on PC.
Is there a possible way of doing this? And if so how?

hello, I keep getting the "error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'PlayerInputActions' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)" error

austere grotto
#

If you're thinking about your Input Actions asset and trying to use the generated code file from it, then you need to make sure you're using the same name as your asset.

#

(you can see the generated C# file it creates in your project)

marsh citrus
#

ah, the file

#

thank you, i'll tamper around a bit

does anyone have experience with the new inputsystem where the mouse input suddenly gets super choppy/laggy even on great fps?

#

controller stick input still works great and smooth

#

... wow now its back to normal again.

glass yacht
#

I would presume you're multiplying the input by Time.deltaTime.

#

If you do that that to mouse input it will cause issues

fallen phoenix
#

nope. im not. i even use the standard first person controller provided by unity.

glass yacht
#

If you mean their Starter Assets, they do that, which is incorrect

fallen phoenix
#

so the code provided by unity is wrong?

unknown.png
glass yacht
#

Yep

fallen phoenix
#

if i remove time.deltatime the input mouse/camera moves in increments. like it jumps. less smooth.

glass yacht
#

Make sure this is set to Dynamic Update

#

If input.look is a position delta then you shouldn't have a deltaTime

#

Most unity tutorials get this wrong

fallen phoenix
#

thanks. got it working now. kinda sad that unity themself dont get it right

Im making a keybind system. When I type a letter in a specific inputfield it saves that letter into the PlayerPrefs as a keybind. But I am not able to press TAB into the inputfield and i wonder if somebody know how i would do that. When i press tab nothing happens and its because the inputfield doesnt think that its a string when i press TAB so it doesnt happen anything. any tips?

vast wren

I have a problem with the new input system:
I'm using the "Rebinding UI" sample to rebind my controls but the changes don't persist between scenes almost all of the time.
Anyone knows how to fix this ?

I'm currently using the InputActionMap dirrectly in the script so I can switch between any device while in the game: cs void Start() { map = inputActionAsset.FindActionMap("controls"); map.Enable(); map["down"].performed += OnDown; map["down"].canceled += OffDown; map["left"].performed += OnLeft; map["left"].canceled += OffLeft; map["right"].performed += OnRight; map["right"].canceled += OffRight; }

tame oracle
austere grotto
#

What you're describing just sounds like a normal input binding

tame oracle
#

So you know how the Input Manager not Input System I refer to the old one with Horizontal and Vertical

#

If you add the thing in your script with the axis for horizontal and vertical you can move with the 4 PC Keys

#

I want to make that into buttons

austere grotto
#

You mean UI buttons on screen, right?

tame oracle
#

Let me put it more simpler

#

I have a script of movement using the OLD Input System I mean the horizontal and vertical axis

#

And I can control my character with the 4 Keys on my Keyboard (Left Right Up Down)

austere grotto
#

Yes i'm with you

tame oracle
#

And then I have 4 Buttons on my UI Left Right Up and Down

#

And for each button in my UI I want to mimic the Input on my keyboard keys

#

Using the OLD Input System

austere grotto
#

Yes, I understand completely, it's what I've been saying

#

you have two separate tasks you need to do

#
  1. Convert your own input system code to the new input system
