#

when using mouse position it will always return true for that the control.device.name == "mouse". while using mouse delta it doesn't when using gamepad, i kinda need it for the position but that can't be done like that i think

#

it basically never returns false when using the mouse position, it does when using mouse delta but i need mouse position and the isMouse to return false

# 
public void OnMousePos(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
{
        RotateEvent.Invoke(context.ReadValue<Vector2>(), IsDeviceMouse(context));

        Debug.Log(IsDeviceMouse(context));
}

private bool IsDeviceMouse(InputAction.CallbackContext context) => context.control.device.name == "Mouse";
#

here is a photo, basically this will somehow prevent the system to say that the mouse is not being used currently, i would like it to not do that cause i can't properly create the system like this

stark notch
#

basically the mouse just dominates the input fully, i would like the gamepad to takeover while mouse is not moving if there is a gamepad connected

austere grotto
stark notch
#

but i would like to get the position so i can get the rotation of the mouse around the center of the screen, that's why i need it

#

so i would like it to not dominate all the other inputs on the action when the mouse isn't used, so if a gamepad is connected it can easily swap to that

#

because mouse delta doesn't give me a position around the center of the screen, so i can't use it for topdown aiming

austere grotto
#

Anyway mouse position dominates it because the mouse alweays has a position

#

it doesn't always have a delta

stark notch
#

is there a way to make it so if the mouse doesn't move the gamepad can change it?, it would be a great feature to have kind of

#

by putting them on different input actions

i guess that's how i will do it then

#

wait wdym by PlayerInput asset

#

PlayerInput is a Component

#

the asset is an input action asset

#

Ok but...

#

did you name your input actions asset "PlayerInput"?

#

i.e. is that the PlayerInput component, or is that the generated C# class file?

#

If you're using the PlayerInput component, you generally don't have a need to access the InputActions directly

#

you would use one of its three modes of operation:
Unity Events,
Send Messages,
C# Events

#

Which one are you using

#

Then you assign your functions to listen to the events from the inspector of the component

#

wdym

#

you can

#

through that property

#

e.g. InputAction ia = controls.actions["MapName/ActionName"];

Hi everybody, I'm using the new input system of unity, so hopefully you will help me. I'm trying to rotate the camera using the touch position of a phone. But right now, I'm having a bug where the camera keeps rotating infinite times, even if I lift my finger off the phone, somebody can help me with that?

I've tried attach it to Input action but it didn't work, only update once, I need an camera rotation for a FPS mobile game.

Has anyone encountered issues in editor play mode when switching to another fullscreen application?

#

If I'm running the scene in play mode and I switch back and forth between a fullscreen game, input callbacks no longer fire

#

But in a standalone build it works fine

austere grotto

#

Okay, I will try to reproduce in a clean project

#

Another interesting thing is that it doesn't happen with all fullscreen applications

Hello
I have a problem with the new input system.
Whenever I press the button to rotate object eg D key
I'm getting vector2(0,1) which is good
but when I let the key, value stay the same it stays on 0,1 not 0,0
It seems to not reset what can I do about that?

private void OnEnable()
    {
        obj_input_actions.PlayerMap.Rotation_Keyboard.performed += x => rotationVec2 = x.ReadValue<Vector2>();
        obj_input_actions.PlayerMap.Rotation_Keyboard.Enable();

        obj_input_actions.PlayerMap.Rotation_Mouse.performed += x => rotationVec2 = x.ReadValue<Vector2>();
        obj_input_actions.PlayerMap.Rotation_Mouse.Enable();
    }
outer mesa
#

If you put ReadValue in Update I'm guessing it would be fine

daring crater
#

but if im right the 1 line is subscribing to the event or somethink like that

#

hmmm

#

i'll try

outer mesa
#

the started, performed and canceled callbacks are all called in different ways based on how you setup your interactions. I believe for a simple button interaction performed is only executed when you actually press down?

austere grotto
#

to get the cancelled you need to subscribe to it separately

outer mesa
#

ah there you go

daring crater
#

Oh

outer mesa
#

i wasnt sure if canceled was actually called when you let go of the button but it appears it is

daring crater
#

Thank you very much!

I forgot about cancel method

Since it's also Input related i'm gonna put this question here, I'm trying to make my objects draggable with mouse input drag but for some reason when i click or drag it the code does nothing, i placed a debug in everything but it doesn't even run that code, Here's the line

{
    private RectTransform rectTransform;
    public void Start()
    {
        rectTransform = GetComponent<RectTransform>();
    }

    public void OnPointerDown(PointerEventData eventData)
    {
        Debug.Log("OnPointerDown");
    } 
    public void OnBeginDrag(PointerEventData eventData)
    {
        Debug.Log("OnDragStart");
    }

    public void OnDrag(PointerEventData eventData)
    {
       Debug.Log("OnDrag");
       rectTransform.anchoredPosition += eventData.delta;
    }

    public void OnEndDrag(PointerEventData eventData)
    {
       Debug.Log("OnDragEnd");
    }

    // Start is called before the first frame update

I am not new to making maps, but I am new to everything else on Unity. I was following a tutorial on adding controller input, but the video has an older input ver 0.2.10 (I have 1.0.2) Some parts of the tutorial do not match up, like the two images below.

Interactions are code-less .-.

#

you don't even need an interaction there

It says so, but I wanted to try around because the default (just like this one) also fires when I release the jump button

Obviously it should only fire if the button is pressed

no. i mean the event based approach

i would recommend not using the player input component. what is happening though is, it probably invokes the method at .performed and .cancelled as is the expected behaviour. but you don't want the .cancelled invocation. i do not know how to 'fix' it with the playerinput component though

mental musk
#

I thought it was the preferred way :O

austere grotto

You can add the CallbackContext parameter and check if it's performed

Vs canceled

(and reassign the Unity event

Oh okay

# mental musk I thought it was the preferred way :O

up to a point.

it's great to visualize what's happening with what during development.

remember that for each Player Input Component that exists, it creates a new copy of the Input Action Asset.

# late urchin can someone help?

What controller are you using? If it's an unusual model there's no guarantee that it will report the buttons to the computer the way the computer expects. If the controller says the button pressed is R2 then Unity has no way to know any different.

Hello
I have a UI button and I want to know which touch in Input.GetTouch is pressing the button.
Is there a way to do so?

trail python
# 
            playerActionMap.CharacterController.Movement.performed += ctx => movement = ctx.ReadValue<Vector2>();
            playerActionMap.CharacterController.Movement.canceled += ctx => movement = ctx.ReadValue<Vector2>();```

I'm using the input system but I found a bug which is really annoying, when unfocusing the game while having "W" pressed and re-entering the game it still thinks W is pressed infinitly
Does anyone have a fix for this?
hidden laurel

#

I did that before, I was just trying different thing from forums, to resolve the issue. Unfortunately it did not fix my bug that I'm encountering

        {
            movement = playerActionMap.CharacterController.Movement.ReadValue<Vector2>();
        }```
foggy notch

#

@foggy notch I've made added this aswell

            GUI.Label(new Rect(40,330, 200,40), "Is shooting - ",inputSystem.CharacterInput.ShotPerformed.ToString());
            GUI.Label(new Rect(40,360,200,40), "W pressed - ",Keyboard.current.wKey.isPressed.ToString());
            GUI.Label(new Rect(40,380,200,40), "A pressed - ",Keyboard.current.aKey.isPressed.ToString());
            GUI.Label(new Rect(40,400,200,40), "S pressed - ",Keyboard.current.sKey.isPressed.ToString());
            GUI.Label(new Rect(40,420,200,40), "D pressed - ",Keyboard.current.dKey.isPressed.ToString());```

This tells me that W is actually pressed
foggy notch
#

So did you create the Inputs yourself with Script or did you let unity create it?

trail python
foggy notch
#

What are the purposes of the two scripts

#

And which one in specific isn't working or are they all not working

trail python
#

Well it is working perfectly, but the issue is when pressing "W" and unfocussing the game and then entering the game it keeps detecting W is pressed.

#

Just taking W as an example, reproduction for this bug with every key

foggy notch
#

By unfocused you mean clicking off the game scene? Or what

trail python
#

Yes, I run the game in windowed mode or I could even do it by alt-tabbing

#

So walking forward & clicking outside of the game, and then re-entering the game view reproduces this bug for me

foggy notch
#

Try not use a variable for the movement vector in PlayerCharacterInput

#

Rather just have ```C
Vector2 movement = playerActionMap.CharacterController.Movement.ReadValue<Vector2>();

#

You can pass that directly into your characterMove function

trail python
#

Ah ok I will try that, I made it this way so it was more structured.
So I have a player and I add the PlayerCharacterInput script to it

foggy notch
#

Just lmk what it does

#

I think it the variable could be just getting stuck somehow

trail python
#

I will try your solution thanks ! 🙂

foggy notch
# 
        Vector2 movementInput = playerInput.Player.Movement.ReadValue<Vector2>();
        playerMove.PlayerMovement(movementInput);
#

Thats essentially how mine works

trail python
#

Ah it still reproduces the same issue,

                .ReadValue<Vector2>();
            
            var data = new NetworkInputData
            {
                Direction = new Vector3(movement.x, 0,
                    movement.y)
            };```

It simply detects that my key is still pressed some how, if it is possible @foggy notch could you maybe check if you make a windowed build and press your forward button and then unfocused and refocus your game if you encounter this similar bug?
foggy notch
#

I can check for you

Hi. I'm wondering, I'm working on trying to implement SteamInput in my Unity project via Facepunch's Steamworks API, and I'm wondering if there's a way that I can fire InputActions from code functions like this:

{
  // Fire jump input action here
}```
#

I was thinking on making an input handler of sorts in which SteamInput wraps around Unity's new input system (Specifically binding ActionSets to ActionMaps, and then Digital and Axis states to Button and Axis mappings respectively), so then I don't have to mangle a ton of code in any main gameplay functions to get my desired result.

#

If anyone can help me wrap my head around this, I'd greatly appreciate it.

I've been trying to use the new input system today in conjunction with cinemachine. I set up an input action for mouse input (vector2 / mouse delta) and I seem to be seeing very inconsistent/jumpy mouse inputs being generated.

It almost seems like the input system is only providing values at very random times. No idea on cause.

you just instantiate it in code and use it directly

Normalize processors should take my values and normalize them between a given min and max correct?

#

Normalizes input values in the range [min..max] to unsigned normalized form [0..1] if min is >= zero, and to signed normalized form [-1..1] if min < zero.

Sounds like it only normalises them if in that range, and will normalise them differently if min is negative or 0

yes, but what specific type

keyboard controls, thumbsticks, mice, etc, will all derive from InputControl

so a keyboard button will never be a "Vector2Control", but rather a "KeyControl"

"*Control" is generally associated with a phsical input. it sounds like you're looking to determine whether the Action is a Vec2 or not, not the Control itself.

Hello, Not sure if this is the right place to ask im just guessing here as im at a bit of a loss for how to fix an issues im having!
I was working fine on a project and then all of a sudden after adding a switch statement to a script to change a sprite on a UI Image I am getting a boat load of errors every second that are referencing the Input system which is causing my whole game to no longer work. The error messages are attached and are ticking up while in the editor without even running the game. When I click to play the game I get an error message for each possible button I could map in the action mappings and I cannot do any sort of input in my game however the game will load up and appear to run.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I dont want to have to move this all to a new project as it's some university work due on Friday that I was putting some finishing touches on 😢

Hello, I was wondering if it would be possible to have one Interactive Rebind for all actions given the name of the action or the action itself. Here is the code I have so far and it works to rebind the "Jump" action, is it possible to have the Jump be replaced with say Movement instead? I don't want to have all of these lines for each action.

void Rebinds(PlayerInputActions playerInputActions, InputAction action)
    {
        playerInputActions.Player.Disable();

        //I want to replace the Jump part of the following method
        playerInputActions.Player.Jump.PerformInteractiveRebinding()
            .WithControlsExcluding("Mouse")
            .WithCancelingThrough("<Keyboard>/escape")
            .OnComplete(callback =>
            {
                Debug.Log(callback.action.bindings[0].overridePath);
                callback.Dispose();

How would I go about making a menu UI(new input system) with on screen buttons but by mapping them to say a generic pointer, or touchscreen presses, does action maps not go by actions->bindings, if so why can't I use pointer press for different functions if the action is different?

What's a good way with the new input system to press any key and obtain its binding? I currently use this code but (a) it's causing an inexplicable bug where sometimes I press it and the value returned is a value I pressed previously and which blatantly isn't the one I just pressed, and (b) it seemingly won't work with certain inputs like D-pad buttons on a controller.

I don't really understand your answer, so I'll explain my question further in the hopes of coming to another, easier answer that I can understand, ... I want to make a menu UI that are clickable but the new input system allows left mouse button to bind to one function, but say you have a start button and a settings button, both would need the left mouse button, so is there any way to get a button to recognize the action then binding to have a more accurate control, or if you can think of an alternative?

#

There is something I don't get about the new system that's driving me crazy, perhaps somebody can help me here.
On the awake method, I call csharp LevelManager.instance.inputMaster.UI.SkipDialogueLine.performed += _ => SkipDialogueLine();
which handles some basic UI tutorial stuff (when you left click, you skip to the next line, but that's not really of importance). So I assumed that I simply add

 LevelManager.instance.inputMaster.UI.SkipDialogueLine.performed -= _ => SkipDialogueLine();

on the OnDisable method in order to prevent the method from firing when it shouldn't. But that is not the case.
When I enter another scene or reload it, and then left click, the old event again/still tries to fire even though it totally shouldn't, thus resulting in several exceptions.

What am I not seeing here, do I have to do something different than removing the lamda?

This is really driving me nuts, so any help would be appreciated

#

You need to unsubscribe the exact same instance of your delegate for the unsubscribe to work

#

In other words you can't subscribe with a lambda directly if you want to be able to unsubscribe later. You need to either save your lambda to a variable and reuse it or use a real method to subscribe/unsubscribe instead of a lambda

#

In your example the two lambdas you have are not related to each other. they happen to share the same code but they're different objects so the unsubscribe won't work.

How can I detect if an UI element has been clicked, perhaps with a handler?

tulip grove
# winter crown How can I detect if an UI element has been clicked, perhaps with a handler?

If you are using uGUI (UnityEngine.UI), you can use the Interfaces like IPointerClickHandler (https://docs.unity3d.com/2019.1/Documentation/ScriptReference/EventSystems.IPointerClickHandler.html). The link is to the old documentation because UnityEngine.UI became a package and has thus moved out of the core Unity API reference. It's actually a part of UnityEngine.EventSystems, but it's used by UnityEngine.UI.

I'm sorry. Got mixed up on the channels. If this was a question about UI Elements, please disregard my answer.

winter crown
#

It was

#

@tulip grove can you give an example code of how I would use the Ipointerclick handler with like a button or something

tulip grove
#

Try attaching the sample code in the IPointerClickHandler reference documentation to a Button. It's short, so I'll post it here:

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.EventSystems;

public class Example : MonoBehaviour, IPointerClickHandler
{
    //Detect if a click occurs
    public void OnPointerClick(PointerEventData pointerEventData)
    {
        //Output to console the clicked GameObject's name and the following message. You can replace this with your own actions for when clicking the GameObject.
        Debug.Log(name + " Game Object Clicked!");
    }
}

If your class implements the IPointerClickHandler interface, then C# requires it to implement an OnPointerClick() method that will be called any time the button is clicked.

On the other hand, you can also use a UnityEvent to call a specific public method any time the button is clicked, which might be easier to work. Check out the OnClick UnityEvent in this manual page: https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.ugui@1.0/manual/script-Button.html

@tulip grove I guess I am stupid but I still don't understand, so ill ask a different question, how to call a function with a button (like the old input system) but with the new input system with the UI input module?

tidal zodiac
#

is there like a checklist of what i need to do for an inputaction to actually respond? i've enabled the action (which is a button bound to a keyboard key), action.phase returns "waiting", but pressing the associated key doesn't do anything

#

like the phase is waiting every frame regardless of pressing the button, i'm starting to think the editor just isn't letting any input through even though the game window is focused or something but the settings related to that don't affect anything either

#

the control scheme should be set correctly too

#

.... oh, i had added "keyboard" to the input system package project settings supported devices and apparently that ... stopped the keyboard from working

#

yup both keyboard AND mouse need to be added to supported devices for the keyboard's inputs to register at all

in the processing for ur binding, you can normalize the stick

What would be the best way for me to get the range of value I can expect to read from an InputControl? I need to change behavior based on if I expect a digital 0/1 or a float 0 - 1 or a signed float -1 - 1. There's an internal m_MinValue and m_MaxValue that I can't get to from code, that would be perfect. But otherwise I seem to be stuck at not descriptive enough descriptions like "Axis." The best I've come up with far is to use the control's stateBlock.format as a hint, but that's not covering all devices as it's at best a guess. I need some way to know what the possible range I could expect from ReadValue<float> would be, and if it's a float that could be in a range or just on/off.

For my use case, in specific, I allow you to interactivly rebind any analog button, digital button, or stick, etc. but then need to change behavior based on what you select as a user.

I found an issue regarding to the Mouse.current.delta value when mouse is locked. The behavior is different on Windows and Mac. On windows, when you set Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked; the next time when mouse is moved, you will get some normal delta values which are accurate. But on Mac, after locking the cursor, the next immediate delta value will be a huge number (I am guessing that delta is related to the position when cursor is locked vs the center of screen cursor position). This is regarding to Input.System 1.2.0 on Unity 2021.2.8f1.

i think this might be a bug? like InputAction.Reset() doesn't seem to be working correctly because after using it when holding a key, the action phase does get put in waiting, but WasPressedThisFrame() and the Released version don't return true for the next input, it eats one and then starts working again

and i'd expect Reset() itself to actually trigger WasReleasedThisFrame() to be true as well but the documentation is a bit ambiguously worded on that count

doing it in OnApplicationFocus might be screwing with it somehow but i don't see how doing it too late in the frame or whatever would cause it to eat the next input

Okay so I'm using the input system for VR development, and the xr socket interactor has an On Hover Event. I know how to add a method to the event, however is there a way to detect which object hovering it? I need to check the tag to make sure the item is the correct item for my specific game.

Could anyone share script to use to get game object on which you clicked with mouse?

void update() {
if (Camera.main is null) return;
        var ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
        if (!Physics.Raycast(ray, out var hit)) return;
        var clickedGameObject = hit.collider.gameObject;
        Debug.Log("gameo object was clicked" + clickedGameObject );
}

This was my old code with old input system. Maybe there is better method now?

# 
public void OnLook(InputValue value)
        {
            if (cursorInputForLook) {
                LookInput(value.Get<Vector2>());
            }
        }

This is code to get Look Delta position. But what if I nneed Position position? what kinda of message will ne there to get that value

if (Gamepad.current is XInputController)
  Debug.Log("Is XBox-Controller");

if (Gamepad.current is DualShockGamepad)
  Debug.Log("Is PS4-Controller");

Would this be the preferred way to check whether the current controller is a ps4 or xbox controller or is there something more "elegant"

am I allowed to have two input actions listening for the same thing?

austere grotto

#

Right now I'm having a hell of a time just trying to differentiate between a tap and a drag movement haha

#

I tried adding a hold interaction for the X axis movement, but that prevented the action from even firing.

unknown.png
#

My latest idea is to tap into the EnhancedTouch Touch api and see if I can use the isTap bool. If the touch isn't a tap, then read the axis value

gleaming oar
#

hmm changing the default tap time to .5 seconds and upping the radius to 50 and calling cs var test = UnityEngine.InputSystem.EnhancedTouch.Touch.activeTouches[0].isTap; // .isTap; debugtext.text = test.ToString(); only evaluates to false

gleaming oar
#

maybe this is an execution order issue. I'm checking this inside the performed event callback

#

actually now that I think about it, the performed callback fires off immediately when touching the screen, so isTap would never be true. I need to figure out how to get that input action to fire off performed after a delay time

gleaming oar
#

Ok so here's what I did. Changed the InputAction to a Pass Through Touch bound to touch #0 with no interactions or anything. Then in the event handling function I used ```cs
bool test = context.action.ReadValue<UnityEngine.InputSystem.LowLevel.TouchState>().isTap;

#

this only works in a performed event handling function, not started or cancelled

How can I create an input manager for the new input system? I want to detect multiple players but the current way isn't compatible with how I have single input set up. I've used chop chop example of scriptable object with events.

mortal ridge
#

just instantiate multiple input assets

cunning crypt
#

is it possible to convert a vector2 input to a float?

solar kite
#

Multiple input assets doesn't fix the issue of them sending events out without anyway to identify them

mortal ridge
#

well then check from which input device the event came

solar kite
#

Do input devices have a way of determining multiple of the same type of gamepad?

Then I guess ​context​.​control​.​device​.​name​ would not be the way to tell if it's a new device

Making a picross game, I plan to have a few methods of control (ie. mousing over, but also with arrow keys/gamepad/virtual dpad (in the case of mobile etc.)), I'm used to the input manager thing found in Edit > Input Manager, but I'm seeing there's a new way of doing it as well with a new Input System. I don't have any experience with it, is there any recommendations either way? I notice it tells me that it completely disables the old input APIs

gleaming oar
#

You can use both at the same time, but if you're going to use the new input system I'd recommend going all in

#

the key difference I think for people should be that the new input system is event driven instead of using the Update() loop with a giant wall of if statements

Yeah thats whats tripping me up

#

That one works fine I get how it works

#

but when i take that example and apply it to say unity's own camera controller example it falls apart

#

though i checked the input debugger and it's not even registering the second controller

#

nvm

#

It will detect a keyboard + gamepad fine but two controllers of the same type control the same player input module - i cannot figure out why they are detected the same in my scene

#

is it because of these Move functions?

public void OnMove(InputValue value)
        {
            MoveInput(value.Get<Vector2>());
        }
#

Getting the feeling this is whats catching the input from all gamepads

#

but that doesn't make sense to me because Unity's own demo is just this

# 
public void OnTeleport()
    {
        transform.position = new Vector3(Random.Range(-75, 75), 0.5f, Random.Range(-75, 75));
    }

I don't get what the difference is between their ultra barebones example and mine - they look the exact same

Hi. I have primitive script for picking objects. When player's ray hits collider it perform Collect() function. When user click in that time it fulfills if statement and object is taken. Simple. Problem is that it works on Windows and when I'm trying to import everything to Unity on Linux it's not working. I copied whole project folder to linux and added it in UnityHub. I find out that OnMouseDown() and OnMouseUp() no react and bool clicked is false whole the time. Other scripts are working fine. When I'm clicking in rage both mouse buttons in the same time it's randomly works. Any ideas?

public class CollectMe : MonoBehaviour
{
    bool clicked = false;
    public GameObject player;
    
    void OnMouseDown()
    {
        clicked = true;
    }
    void OnMouseUp()
    {
        clicked = false;
    }
    
    public void Collect()
    {         
        if (clicked == true && Inventory.maxUsedSlot < Inventory.backpackSize - 1 )
        {
          player.GetComponent<Inventory>().AddItem(this.gameObject.name);

Hi guys! I've trying to use my 🎮 Nintendo Joy-cons as Gamepad Input using the new Input system, but can't make it work. Right now Unity keeps recognising single joycons as a Joystick instead of a Gamepad (detected this both by script and the debug on the PlayerInput component) and probably because of this all controller's inputs look messy. I want to use the controller as a simple gamepad (don't need the movement inputs). Made some web search but couldn't find anything that worked. Anyone have any guide, documentation or reference material about it? Thanks! 😸

There is a tab called supported devices, you might check if there are some settings that need to be adjusted

did you try action.bindings[bindingIndex].name?

Also, unclear whether you already know this from your post, but it looks like each element of the composite is its own binding with a different index (following the parent composite binding). https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.0/manual/ActionBindings.html#composite-bindings

In other words, several consecutive entries in InputActionMap.bindings or InputAction.bindings together form a Composite.

what would be the best way to make a character jump in an arc in 2d while still being able to control it? I tried this (control is a RigidBody2D, h is the input, spe is horizontal speed on ground) but when I jump with any amount of speed it ends up becoming way too fast while it's way too slow when I move after jumping with no speed

            if (groundCheck.isGrounded)
            {
                Control.velocity = (new Vector2(Spe * h, Control.velocity.y));

mental musk
proven dove
mental musk
# proven dove Thanks, and how to update it, when user clicks in any key or move the sticks in ...

You need to check for the gamepad type. For example, the PS4 controller uses the DualShock4GamepadHID class I think.
So a simple check like

 // ... 
if (Gamepad.current == null) { // Keyboard Layout }
else if (Gamepad.current is DualShock4GamepadHID) { // PS4 }
// ...

You can find the class types here: https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.0/manual/Gamepad.html

Then, the only thing remaining is creating a system that selects the active device when the player presses any button on the respective device. For keyboard, this is really easy as you can use anykey, but for gamepads you unfortunately have to bind all buttons to an action (if you want to be able to press any button to swap to the gamepad that is)

I'm trying to make a decoupled system for my player actions, but I'm not sure how to accomadate that with the new input system.

#

I'm using state machine behaviors(SMB) with the animation system, so I can keep context specific actions away from the player class.
My goal is to have the player class not care what actions it can do

#

but with the way the new input system relies on events, it makes this approach hard to do

#

would it be best to subscribe to performed events straight from the SMBs??

#

this is the SMB that I'm talking about

#

so would I access the player class in OnStateEnter() and add to onPerformed?

anyone know any better approach?

indigo patrol
# indigo patrol How do you know what key was pressed in the new input system?

To those looking for this, you can listen to the OnEvent then filter the button manually.
there is also OnAnyButtonPressed which practically just a wrapper to the OnEvent (). I'm guessing this to make it look like the legacy api in a sense?

The documentation is pretty scarce as seen here https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.1/api/UnityEngine.InputSystem.InputSystem.html#UnityEngine_InputSystem_InputSystem_onAnyButtonPress

Even the OnEvent examples are wrong

then print all those found devices via debuglog, and see if you can find your gamepad there

Alright nice

#

Okay so create the method for what you want to happen when the left arrow key is pressed

#

Idk where you getting the variables Gamepad, Keyboard, and Mouse

proven dove
#

from the namespace InputSystem

young comet
#

Ahh I see

proven dove
#

my method is something like this:

void keyPressed()
    {
        //do stuff?

    }
young comet
#

Yeah nice

#

Ok so are you hard set on using the Input namespaces rather than creating an Input Actions

proven dove
#

I have InputActions though, but I just want to check some action for the tutorial of my game

young comet
#

What is your InputActions called?

#

Mine for example is literally called InputActions

proven dove
#

Mine is PlayerControllers

young comet
#

Okay and can I see a picture of all the things in there

#

Like this

proven dove
young comet
#

Which of those is what should trigger the function

proven dove
#

in this case, the "Move"

young comet
#

Move does not function like that

#

Its a passthrough not a button

austere grotto
#

Also why the Press and Release interaction, it's not necessary as the message says

proven dove
#

Oh ok sorry...

#

I'm still getting used to the new input system

young comet
#

All good

#

Okay so I gotta go but Imma leave you with this

#

One sec

# 
private PlayerControllers playerControllers;
private void Awake()
    {
        playerControllers = new PlayerControllers();
    }
private void OnEnable()
    {
        playerControllers?.Enable();
    }
    private void OnDisable()
    {
        playerInput?.Disable();
    }
#

This is how it should be set up

#

To make a button do something you do this

# 
private void Awake()
    {
        playerControllers = new PlayerControllers();
        playerControllers.actionmapname.actionname.performed += ctx => methodname; //method should have void return type
    }
#

For passthroughs you have to read them in update like this

# 
        Vector2 input = playerControllers.Player.Movement.ReadValue<Vector2>();
#

^ In Update

proven dove
#

but for example, i'm asking the user " left and right to move" how can i confirm that he did that? with the new input system

radiant temple
#

I have a question but I'll wait till you guys are done.

austere grotto
proven dove
#

oh thank you so much. I'll try that 🙂

radiant temple
#

Ok I'll jump in now if everyone is done. 👍

#

I want to check the type of interaction that is currently true ( press or hold ). I can print( value.interaction ); to get "HoldInteraction" or "PressInteraction" in console. But I don't know how to put that into the form of a if statement. I don't know what to compare ( value.interaction == ??? ) to.

austere grotto

I used is

radiant temple
#

Oh! I've never used is. ever. What's the difference between is and ==

#

Obviously one is checking type and the other is checking value?

Got it. Cheers! Let me go play with this see if i fixed my issue.

Worked like a charm. Thank you @austere grotto

Hello! Is there a way to change Input managers positive button for axis in runtime?

willow geyser
#

I'm making an endless runner mobile game. I want the player to tap and hold to move the player. How could I do this?

#

I was thinking of using an invisible slider but I don't think that thats the best idea

#

It would also be nice if I could use the arrow keys for testing on my pc

real crystal
#

simple grid movement, using the new input system, I am grabbing a 2D vector based on the arrow keys and I want it to accept diagonals. Right now with the code I think me pressing say down + right doesn't give me a down right vector but instead just keeps one of the inputs (I think it's always the first, holding right produces a (1,0) like you'd expect but then pressing down while holding doesn't generate a (1, -1), just (1,0) like before) with the other. Is this something where maybe I should take a 1D vector, 1 for horizontal or 1 for vertical? Or is there a clean way of letting the system just take a down and a right press and treat it as (1, -1)?

#

I was wanting the same input system to work with both keyboard and gamepad (ie. someone using a stick) but it looks like I may just need to make a specific couple of 1Ds for keyboard movement and keep the current movement there for people with analog sticks etc.

Hello! I did this to get mouse position, but in script i always get zeroes. What i do wrong?

And get rid of digital normalized on the 2d vector binding

#

excellent, thank you

#

I suppose I'll just write something in the script to account for analog inputs

# austere grotto ```cs bool hasMovedLeft = false; Vector2 input = playerControllers.Player.Movem...

It's not working... Here is the code:

void Update()
    {

        PlayerControllers controls;

        controls = new PlayerControllers();
        bool hasMovedLeft = false;
        bool hasMovedRight = false;

        Vector2 input = controls.Gameplay.Move.ReadValue<Vector2>();

        isDone = false;

        if (input == null)
        {
            Debug.Log("Something wrong");
        }

        if (messageId == 1 && isDone == false)
        {
            Debug.Log(input.x);
            // check if the section 1 is done
            if (input.x < 0)
            {
                hasMovedLeft = true;
                isDone = true;
                Debug.Log("Moved");
            }
        }
    }
#

It only does not enter on the

if(input.x < 0)```
#

it says on debug it is 0 when the character is moving to the left

I'm having a bit of trouble with the enhanced touch API. I want to use it to detect touches on a touchscreen, but it also triggers when the user is interacting with UI, which is not something i want. I've tried EventSystem.current.IsPointerOverGameObject(); but it's always false when FingerDown triggers. Here's my code:

public class InputManager : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Camera mainCamera;
    public delegate void StartTouchEvent(Vector2 position, float timeStarted);
    public event StartTouchEvent OnFingerDown;

    public delegate void EndTouchEvent(Vector2 position, float timeStarted);
    public event EndTouchEvent OnFingerUp;

    public delegate void MoveTouchEvent(Vector2 position, float timeStarted);
    public event MoveTouchEvent OnFingerMove;

    public static InputManager instance;

    public bool selectingUI;

    private void OnEnable()
    {
        enhanced.EnhancedTouchSupport.Enable();
        instance = this;

        enhanced.Touch.onFingerDown += FingerDown;
        enhanced.Touch.onFingerUp += FingerUp;
        enhanced.Touch.onFingerMove += FingerMove;
    }
    private void OnDisable()
    {
        enhanced.Touch.onFingerDown -= FingerDown;
        enhanced.Touch.onFingerUp -= FingerUp;
        enhanced.Touch.onFingerMove -= FingerMove;
        enhanced.EnhancedTouchSupport.Disable();
        
    }

    private void FingerDown(enhanced.Finger finger)
    {
        OnFingerDown?.Invoke(mainCamera.ScreenToWorldPoint(finger.screenPosition), Time.time);
    }

    private void FingerUp(enhanced.Finger finger)
    {
        OnFingerUp?.Invoke(mainCamera.ScreenToWorldPoint(finger.screenPosition), Time.time);
    }
    private void FingerMove(enhanced.Finger finger)
    {
        OnFingerMove?.Invoke(mainCamera.ScreenToWorldPoint(finger.screenPosition), (float)finger.currentTouch.startTime);
    }

    private void Update()
    {
        selectingUI = EventSystem.current.IsPointerOverGameObject();
    }
}```

Just read the value from the same place you're reading it for movement

proven dove
#

You mean inside of here:

controls.Gameplay.Move.performed += ctx =>  {
            direction = ctx.ReadValue<float>();
        };
#

or inside here:

 void Update() 
    {

        // create vectors
        isGrounded = Physics2D.OverlapCircle(groundCheck.position, 0.1f, groundLayer);
        playerRB.velocity = new Vector2(direction * speed * Time.deltaTime, playerRB.velocity.y);
        freezeRotation(pos);
    }

And i have no clue how

Because the ui is always thereç

Yeah, that's a good option, albeit a bit slower

I just wish the event system had something implemented already

or rather the touch api
