not here, but in DM

it's probably not even related to touchapi or the input system. more likely something to do with the UI

post your questions in here

What does this have to do with the Input System?

it is working not praetor thx 🙂

I'm pretty sure Sony keeps the cool Gamepad controls unavailable right? For example, we couldn't use the controller shake sensor?

In the old system the value received by my HOTAS slider was between -1 and 1.
In the new input system the values are between 0.98 and 1.02, how can I normalize them so that they are between -1 and 1?

        Vector2 input = playerInput.Player.Movement.ReadValue<Vector2>();
        playerController.PlayerMovement(input);

Is there an alternative to ReadValue that doesn't create GC? Not that big of a deal, 80B per frame, just curious

fickle agate

is there something new with the input system that so new the tutorials doesnt work with it?
Im getting errors with this OnEnable/OnDisbale now:

Still wrong

#

copy the tutorial exactly

#

i did.

#

Show their code next to yours

#

Every tiny bit of spelling, capitalization, and punctuation matters in C#

what happen was that i was referencing the wrong script.

#

its ok now. thanx for the help.

hey guys, i have a input action that can be used both on keyboard and on gamepad, but when i press the gamepad stick just a little bit the player moves pretty slow, i don't remember how to remove this, i wan't basically to change to something like "getaxisraw" of the old input system (-1f, 0f, 1f only)

#

i know i can set a processor to scale the value like 10000x and clamp it, but there is a option that does that automatically, and i cant find it

foggy notch
#

Value types don’t create garbage, reference types do

austere grotto
#

It just got rid of the "acceleration" on the joystick - but it would still report values between 0 and 1

#

Maybe what you want is to set the value type to something like Digital/DigitalNormalized/Normalized

#

If not, you can always just normalize the value in your code

So question about input and movement, do I have to manually check that a collision hasn't occurred before moving the transform of the character? or does the colliders handle that for me, I know they handle that with regards to gravity, but what about walls?

Actually.... I don't know that this is even the right place to ask

Is there any way to reuse code for such approach with new input system?

rn I have to create all these for each action:

    public static MainActionComponent MainAction => mainAction;
    private static MainActionComponent mainAction;
    private bool _mainAction;
    private void RegisterMainAction()
    {
        Game.MainAction.performed += _ =>
        {
            mainAction.pressed = true;
            mainAction.active = true;
        };
        Game.MainAction.canceled += _ =>
        {
            mainAction.pressed = false;
        };
    }

And do this in update

        // Main action
        if (mainAction.active)
        {
            if (_mainAction)
            {
                _mainAction = false;
                mainAction.active = false;
            }
            else
            {
                _mainAction = true;
            }
        }
#

I can't figure out if there's a better option

#

or a way to reuse such code for other actions

#

all info for each action is stored in it's structs

you're using the new input system like the old system

#

just use the old system

crude flower
#

How do i make my player shoot with arrow keys with the new input system cuz i can't find any tutorial

jagged wyvern
#

make a method that takes in a vector 3 as a parameter and have it subscirbe to a 2D input action

crude flower
#

I know how to make it with the old system can i somehow translate it to the new system?

jagged wyvern
#

yes

crude flower
#

so how can i translate it?

jagged wyvern
#

make a composite binding based on a 2d digital vector

#

subscribe the shooting method to the input action event

crude flower
#

thx

crisp star
#

I'm not sure if old system will see Input.MouseClick same way on gamepads and etc

jagged wyvern

doesn't input manager handle that in old system?

Do you guys know why it's giving me an error in line 22?? It says Null Reference Exception !!

So probably Touchscreen.current is returning null

Standard debugging strategies apply

use Debug.log

Hey, I have a question about how the input system works. I have movement assigned to keys and controller input, I've set up the event system on the character's "Player Input" and I have code in my "move" function that should move the character, but when I press arrow or wasd keys, nothing happens. The event doesn't seem to fire.

#

Is there an article that describes the input pipeline, from the button press or keyboard key to the fired event?

#

I think I'm using the new input system

lavish bluff
#

Why does it always return duration as being 0?

unknown.png
sly marsh
sly marsh
lavish bluff
#

Because this is if ctx canceled

#

You start holding down the button earlier

#

Is there a built-in way to get how long the button has been held when you release it?

sly marsh
lavish bluff
#

Isn't that what I'm doing?

sly marsh
#

Put the debug.log(duration), inside of the function instead of in the if statement for canceled, and see what it returns then?

#

and if you really need the duration there, I would just store the value of the duration in a variable and then use that variable when you need it inside the canceled if statement.

lavish bluff
sly marsh
lavish bluff
lavish bluff
#

OK, after adding a press interaction instead, it does return the proper duration

sly marsh
#

Hmm..

lavish bluff
#

So it's fixed now, I think. Thanks dude

sly marsh
lavish bluff
#

Yeah, which is weird since it's more flexible than the old input in many ways

#

There should also be an option to make inputs run in fixedupdate time if they don't already

#

Because that's how you want to use input most of the time

#

But I don't have time for robustness right now

Oh?

#

The Debug console shows nothing which is the problem. Let me try running it with the input debugger

hot drum
# sly marsh What is that debug returning?

It does play, as in if I hit the play button, it does the right thing to start up the game, but then I get nothing from the debug console when I press any keys, despite having a move action that's attached that Debug.Log's to the console

tame oracle
#

should this work with the old input system because it doesn't and I have no errors

Not "update"

hello!, is using the Player Input Component a good way to use the new input manager? :D

fallen charm
#

Ive almost got movement to work right

#

Only problem I have is that i need to rapidly press the movement keys to move (im not sure if its player input's fault)

unreal smelt
#

i use cs Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space) is this still recommended?

I was following both the tutorial on unitys youtube and brackeys third person controlleer

#

Hello, I use the new input system and I have a "button" input with the F key. I am trying to ensure that when I enter a trigger and press the F key, then something happens. But I have to press several times consecutively for the rest of the code to work. We would say that it responds once in 20!
My code for that :

#

(InputManager.Input.GetPlayerInteract() = F key)

austere grotto
#

They don't run every frame. It's the same as FixedUpdate

#

Input should be processed in Update or with events.

Mark the entry/exit of the trigger in OnTriggerEnter/Exit with a variable

feral latch
#

🤔 Ok ok

austere grotto
#

OnTriggerStay is not useful here

feral latch
#

Ok it's good it works ! Thank you

fallen charm
#

So I kinda figured out how input works, However my movement has this issue where i cant hold down wasd

Screenshot_131.png
#

I have to rapidly mash the keys to move

#

Was there something I missed?

#

And with a controller I need to wiggle the stick to move

#

So basically it only works on pressing it once

#

how do I make it so I can hold down a movement key?

hot drum
#

Ok. so after doing some more debugging, I noticed that the keyboard doesn't work but the gamepad sort of does. I get the logging in the console when I use the analog sticks.

#

But the player character doesn't move

shy glade
fallen charm
#

and it needs to be in there so that it can detect input

#

And I cant put the stuff that moves the player in update either cause then it wont detect the direction variable

#

so how the hell do i fix this?

sly marsh
#

instead of using events, since events are updated dynamically by default and can only be changed to fixed update or manual, neither of which fix the issue without drastic work arounds

fallen charm
#

So that tutorial on unity's own yt channel is a lie?

#

Who the hell do I trust

the action is a Button type > and binding is "left mouse button"

Hi, I want to make a local multiplayer with the new input system. Movement is working normal if one player is on the screen. But if i join with a second input, one input (for example the controller) moves both player. What can I do? I already have a player input manager in the scene. I move the player by changing rigidbody velocity. (2d game) (Version 2020.3.21)

Ok. So it's not that the input system doesn't work anymore, I got it working, but the problem is that left and right don't move the player but jump does.

#

Jump causes the player to jump, but left and right/A and D doesn't cause the player to move left or right

#

And I'm getting the right vector values from the input system

#

So it must be the physics system

mighty mason
#

Can someone shed some light on what this warning is telling me? Is there a different way I should be using Eventsystem.IsPointerOverGameObject() when using the new InputSystem?

unknown.png
#

"Calling IsPointerOverGameObject() from within event processing (such as from InputAction callbacks) will not work as expected; it will query UI state from the last frame"

#

Currently it's being used as a UI check in an InputSystem click callback to prevent clickthrough.

# 
 void OnSelect()
    {
       // Ignore if over UI
       if (!EventSystem.current.IsPointerOverGameObject()) //function returns true if over panel. That's why it's inverted.
       {
austere grotto
#

e.g. using EventTrigger components or implementing IPointerClickHandler etc.

mighty mason
#

Gotcha. I'll have to read up on EventTrigger components and the EventSystem in general.

hot drum
#

How do I set up continuous input where if I hold the left or right keys on the keyboard, the character keeps moving, instead of just moving once?

austere grotto
#

What do you have now?

hot drum
#

Well, right now I have a character that at first moves around sort of correctly, (I sort of figured out that problem but I'm not sure if I did so correctly, but it seems to sort of work) except it catches on something in the environment and now it sort of rolls around when it loses its orientation.

hot drum
#

So... yeah. That's how it's working so far

#

LOL

#

at least it doesn't fall out of the room

#

austere grotto
# hot drum

Why are you setting the velocity on the x axis to zero whenever it's not started?

#

And why are you calling AddForce in Update

#

That's a classic faux pas

#

Physics should be done in FixedUpdate

drifting patrol
#

Ran into an issue with touch where 2 touchpoints seems to be valid when checking for 3 touchpoints. Testing it on an Android tablet running 5.0.1

if(Input.touchSupported && Input.touchCount == 3) {
   // This runs with only 2 fingers
   Debug.Log("Handling touch rotation");
   x = Input.GetTouch(2).deltaPosition.x;
   y = Input.GetTouch(2).deltaPosition.y;
}

Anyone knows why this is?

Having some word finding difficulties right now so i can't really google my issue and find any results, so I apologise if this might be an easy google search normaly,

So i have two scripts: an inventory script that does specific stuff and an UIWindowManager with a singleton that does things like toggle cursor on and off. When I now add the functions that should be called on button press, I want to add the cursor toggle from inside the inventory script, like this:

#

instance is the singleton.

#

i was hoping it would work but i get this Error:

unknown.png
#

usually i get an error code which i can look up and try to understand, but "Value does not fall within the expected range" sounds like I should not add functions of foreign scripts in the awake?

#

I really tried to google it but can't give google something that gives me a solution in return

#

As a workaround, I could copy paste the ToggleUICursor function into the Inventory script but that feels... not good, since I would also have to do that for every other UI script that toggles the cursor on and off

hushed coral
#

I guess I have to call it inside the UIWindowManager awake, or copy the ToggleUICursor code. I don't see another method

hushed coral
#

it seems like the problem is that i try to use the singleton. if I instead set up a normal variable. it works

#

Problem solved. I guess?

hot drum
# austere grotto Why are you setting the velocity on the x axis to zero whenever it's not `starte...

Because as best as I can tell this method is called when the action begins and ends. Rather than seperate messages. So when you start holding the direction buttons, the speed vector increases and add force on update keeps adding force to move the player. When you stop holding it, it gets called again and the player stops moving because the vector is set to zero and velocity is set to 0. So update keeps adding a zero force.

austere grotto
#

If so - OnMove will get called whenever the actuation of the bindings for Move change

hot drum
#

Yes. Unity events mode is what I'm using.

austere grotto
#

that means if you go from holding right to holding up, it will be called again, and the phase will not be started

#

started will only happen when going from zero actuation to non-zero actuation

#

(I'm making the assumption that you're using the default interaction aka "no interaction" in your input Action)

hushed coral
#

How do I turn off an actionmap? (and is it even recommended?)

I currently have the problem that my character attacks and can move when the UI is open. which is annoying, so i thought "i just disable the PlayerControl actionmap while opening the UI"

unknown.png
#

But when i try that i get the error:

unknown.png
austere grotto
#

which you didn;'t even show in your screenshot

hushed coral
#

ah fuck wrong screenshot >.<

#

1 moment

#

thats the correct one

#

the problem is the line
playerInput.actions.FindActionMap("PlayerControl").Disable()

austere grotto
#

either playerInput is null or it doesn't have an actionmap named PlayerControl

#

your if statement on line 22 is very weird - seems inverted

#

and why are you mixing and matching a PlayerInput with using the generated C# class

#

typically you'd only use one or another

hushed coral
austere grotto
#

And what's the point of playerInput at all, since you're using the playerInputActions that you're creating on line 24?

#

you seem to be mixing up two different styles of using the input system

hushed coral
#

that might be possible

#

I am using it for the first time in a project and am completely overwhelmed

I think the press was leftover from a tutorial, the press and release was to react to holding the direction buttons down.

austere grotto
#

I will tell you that you don't need/want any interactions for a simple movement axis input, unless you want a custom deadzone or something

digital narwhal
#

I have keyboard/mouse and game pad and joystick support. I have no issues filtering device id to route actions to specific players. But I’m having trouble doing this with the UI input module. How can I say, prevent certain devices from triggering UI input actions?

So when app loads I have 5 inputs (1 keyboard, 4 game pads) and all interact with UI, but I only want Player 1 to have that ability.

#

I can’t disable the other devices because I need input to listen to them in case a “player wants to join” the session.

hot drum
austere grotto
#

you save the current input value in a variable

#

and you use it in Update

hot drum
#

But then don't you have to keep getting the input to check when the user releases the button?

#

If you're not going to have an "interaction"?

austere grotto
#

basically your whole callback function just needs to be currentSpeed.x = context.ReadValue<Vector2>().x;

hot drum
#

Ok, but where is the proper place then to "AddForce()"?

austere grotto
#

AddForce should be done in FixedUpdate

hot drum
#

Ok. That works a little better.

#

I need to expand my arena to experiment more.

#

I also need to make sure that jumps can only happen on the floor

#

Thanks

#

Oh.... and I need to make sure my character stays upright.

austere grotto
hot drum
#

Even if the rotation is frozen, can I manually rotate it?

austere grotto
#

yes

#

but do you need to?

hot drum
#

Well, I'm thinking if the player turns around when going the other direction. He's not gonna walk backwards

austere grotto
#

We're not freezing rotation on the y axis

hot drum
#

Oh duh

#

Actually. I also forgot spin jumping

#

But you already answered that

Hello! I'm following along with a tutorial using the new input system and I've hit an unusual snag. Right now I'm just trying to get the camera to move up and down, and while the inspector shows the values are changing with mouse movement, the camera holder (which the camera is a child of) isn't responding to the changes in said values and not moving. Have I missed something? ```cs

public PlayerSettingsModel playerSettings;
public float viewClampYMin = -70;
public float viewClampYMax = 80;


private void Awake()

    defaultInput = new DefaultInput();

    defaultInput.Character.Movement.performed += e => input_Movement = e.ReadValue<Vector2>();
    defaultInput.Character.View.performed += e => input_View = e.ReadValue<Vector2>();

that's where you're doing cameraHolder.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(newCameraRotation); which is what would actually rotate the camera holder object

but the movement wouldnt work right

#

Cause here i had to mash wasd to actually move

#

the brackeys vid is outdated

#

All i want is to use the 3rd person movement brackys made

#

but with this system

#

so how do I do it?

foggy notch
#

Youre using an event for movement

#

Events only get called once per button click not every frame while it's held down

fallen charm
#

So what do I use?

#

Events seem to actually detect input

foggy notch
#

Show me your script

#

Events do detect input

#

But there good for buttons not vectors

fallen charm
fallen charm
foggy notch
#

Are you using the Input whatever component?

fallen charm
#

PlayerInput Component

foggy notch
#

Yeah dont

#

It sucks

#

Write a script for input

fallen charm
#

So make a seperate input script

#

then do a movement script?

foggy notch
#

That's usually best practice

fallen charm
#

So how would I make an input script?

#

do you mean the same script that the manager makes?

foggy notch
#

No you use the script the manager makes

fallen charm
foggy notch
#

Yes

fallen charm
#

So do I attach it to the player?

foggy notch
#

No

#

You create a script and reference that one

fallen charm
#

Ah

#

So how do I make it so the movement script can detect movement?

arctic rapids
#

Is there any prerequisite for a method to be detected by the Player Input component in Invoke Unity Event mode? In the image there's my current config and this is my C# script (MonoBehaviour is declared in one of the parent classes)

However no method appear when I try to select the event

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.InputSystem;

class PlayerPlane: Plane
{
  public void Axis(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
  {
    Vector2 value = context.ReadValue<Vector2>();
    Debug.Log(value);
  }
}

I'm unsure what exactly you're looking at, if this is not the answer please do screenshot it, it'd make it less vague

I was really confused as to why it was working before and wasn't any more

fallen charm
#

nvm got it to work

fallen charm
#

Yep

#

Can I see it?

fallen charm
#

Now i gotta figure out the camera

#

(the camera is similar to luigis mansion)

That's fine, you don't really have to make a variable for movement InputAction but itll work the same

yeah but also switching to first person

Hello, I need some help with mobile input system

#

I really can't understand it like keyboard input

ocean palm
#

guys how do unity devs handle double key press?

#

cuz I'm new and all input methods I'm looking at are continuous

sudden lagoon
#

Short way how to know if the object that was triggered event UI or Not. Or know the tag or layer of that object. Key element that camera have physics ray caster.

# 
 private void Update() {
            if (EventSystem.current.IsPointerOverGameObject()) {
                if (Camera.main is null) return;
                var ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(point);
                if (!Physics.Raycast(ray, out var hit, maxDistance, layer_mask)) { //if it hit no game objects, that means it is UI. as it shoots only after it is over UI.
                    isOverUI = true;
                    return;
                }
                if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit, maxDistance, layer_mask)) {
                    if (hit.collider != null) {
                        isOverUI = false;
//if there is an object that triggered this event, that means it is not UI.
                    } else isOverUI = true; //this one just in case I guess
                }
            }
        }

this is my current solution. it works.... But ..... It is not pretty solution and I want to make code that makes sense. Teach me senpais

tall cipher
#

A thing you could do, instead of the last
if (hit.collider != null)
IsOverUi = false;

You could just use
isOverUi = !(hit.collider != null)
Or
isOverUi = Hit.collider == true

devout depot
#

So, I found a script that I think might work well for my purposes, but it used the old input system and I'm struggling to convert it to the new system. It's changing a bool based on it's press state, setting it to true when pressed then false when released. Is there a way to do something similar with the new system?

austere grotto
versed solstice
#

I'm looking for some advice on dealing with a local multiplayer game which uses split screen where players need to be able to navigate their own menus on their own screens (at the same time). Using the new input system, the Input System UI Input Module and the Event System doesn't seem to result in the desired behaviour, as either only one player can control the UI or they can control each other's UI. Any ideas on how this should be done in the new input system?

austere grotto
versed solstice
#

Brilliant. I knew there had to be something I'd missed. I'll give it a go now.

devout depot
austere grotto
#

Are you using events?

#

Polling things in Update?

#

Using a PlayerInput component?

devout depot
#

I'm not using events or polling in update, I'm using DefaultInput

austere grotto
#

I assume "DefaultInput" is the name of your input actions asset?

devout depot
#

yep

austere grotto
#

You must use either events or polling in update to do anything with that

versed solstice
austere grotto
#

Sounds like you are using the generated C# class.

devout depot
#

Yep; I'm looking at the documentation for events now and it's like its bouncing right off my eyeballs

austere grotto
#

there's not really any other options

devout depot
#

I think I'm going to have to use polling unfortunately, this doc is so obtuse I'm not sure I'm capable of processing it

austere grotto
#

I'm just asking what you're using currently

#

we can work with that

devout depot
#

I don't even know bro, I am so lost. Here, let me post the script as is on GistHub then I'll link to the original script I'm trying to convert from

#

Well after diddling around a bit I've found the Player Input component and it's ability to broadcast messages

#

How to make use of those messages, I'm still working on that

versed solstice
#

Any advice on ensuring a button stays **visually **selected (colour tint) even after the canvas has been disabled and then enabled again? The EventSystem clearly remembers which was selected as you can submit and it executes the right one, but visually it doesn't have the colour tint.

devout depot
#

I have been trying to figure out this bloody input system for 4 hours and I still cannot find anything that tells me plainly how to toggle a bool. Sure ReadValue<> is a thing but whatever value it reads cannot be converted to bool

#

this is genuinely upsetting

versed solstice
devout depot
#

yep, I want LMB to toggle 'shooting' to true while down and 'false' when up

#

I keep seeing promo material from Unity claiming this is easy but this is the hardest thing I've had to do in Unity

#

literally nothing that has been suggested seems to work and I cannot find a straight answer as to why

versed solstice
#

Ok, one way to do this is to change the Player Input Behavior option to use Invoke Unity Events. That way you can use callback contexts. If you open the Events section at the bottom you can then define what function on what script to execute when the button is held. In your code you can then use InputAction.CallbackContext.

devout depot
#

I just tried that actually. 'InputAction' doesn't exist it says

#

Like I said dude I'm done. Thank you sincerely for trying to help but this just isn't going to work.

versed solstice
#

Add "using UnityEngine.InputSystem;" to the top

devout depot
#

I tried that too! It didn't do anything.

#

I thought I was really starting to get somewhere with making a game. But apparently, unless someone is holding my hand through the entire process like a goddamned toddler I am mentally incapable of going it alone.

#

As much as I want to blame Unity the fact of the matter is I'm just disabled or something

versed solstice
#

To be fair the new input system, whilst being very flexible, isn't the easiest to get going with.

devout depot
#

Plenty of people seem to get along just fine with it, and those that don't usually seem to find answers somehow.

#

No, with my experiences with Unity thus far it's pretty clear I'm the problem

#

I'm not quite ready to give up the dream just yet but christ this is demoralizing.

#

Again, seriously, thank you for trying to help me.

#

i'm going to bed, peace

tidal zodiac
#

how should i remove all bindings from an InputAction (including composites etc.) - doing

        foreach (InputBinding b in bs) playerInput.actions["Player/NavigateUI"].ChangeBinding (b).Erase ();``` 
doesn't work and it's the best i could come up with
#

that gets a "InvalidOperationException: Instance not valid" error, the action is a Value Vector2 type with Delta [Mouse] bound to it by default for testing

devout depot
#

Instead of sleeping, I just kept thinking about the damn script and where I was screwing it up. So I took some extra adderall and have attempted to figure it out on my own without a tutorial or external script.

#

Naturally, it's borked. However the errors this time feel much less intimidating, so I'm not too bummed about it. I've tried to use function calls to set the bools this time around. I was trying to use Update() to check one of the functions but all it did was set every variable to true and flooded the debug log. If I comment those calls out, the mouse button input doesn't seem to work either. Would someone be willing to look things over and see where I've gone wrong?

#

While I wait for someone to (hopefully) lend a hand, I'll be watching Brackey's video on the input system to try and better understand this eldritch abomination

gleaming oar
#

watch samyams videos

devout depot
gleaming oar
#

I think what is causing some confusion for me at least is the use of the Update() loop with the new Input System

#

so you're setting a bool to true in the subscribed function for the performed action, and then letting the Update() use that bool

#

What might be better is to instead call the function directly inside the subscribed function

devout depot
gleaming oar
#

the .performed callback

#

defaultInput.Character.PrimaryFire.performed += e => PullingTrigger();

devout depot
#

Oh? Could you show me an example?

Thank you very much for helping by the way!

#

Right now the update loop is dealing with animations a lot of stuff, I'm suggesting getting rid of the Update() loop entirely

#

So instead of checking for a bool every single frame, make it all event based. When you press the fire button, set the animations to go into the fire animation

devout depot
gleaming oar
#

well you'll have to re-code it differently

#

it's a different approach than what you have now

devout depot
#

I'll have to learn it eventually

#

Might as well buckle down and try now

jagged wyvern
#

not that hard if you use player input

#

the component

gleaming oar
#

yeah the old way of doing input was to have a huge if then block in an Update() loop, and it absolutely sucked to work with

devout depot
#

Well I'm all for more efficient scripts

gleaming oar
#

the new way you just subscribe a function to fire off whenever a certain Input occurs (the performed callbacks) and just let the input system tell you when to execute it

#

I've got some examples from a little project

devout depot
#

I'll just have to study diligently and try to see it in action so I can better wrap my head around it

gleaming oar
# 
// Unity functions
    private void Awake()
    {
        controls = new PinchTouchControls();
        controls.Touch.TestTouch.performed += context => Shoot(context);
        controls.Touch.TestTouchMouse.performed += context => ShootMouse(context);

        EnhancedTouchSupport.Enable();

        // Start listening for disable shooting events
        EventManager.StartListening(Events.RoundStart, OnRoundStart);
        EventManager.StartListening(Events.RoundEnd, OnRoundEnd);

        mainCam = Camera.main;

there's like 10 different ways to get input

in this new system

#

none are better than another

#

it's just a ton of options

earnest trench
#

lol ive just been writing references to different scripts and testing a var

#

which the var holds input

jagged wyvern
#

damn

#

the worst part of this new system is that every tutorial does it differently

earnest trench
#

I mean I could rewrite everything to subscribed events, but I don't want to fuck up my code lol

jagged wyvern
#

so it makes learning the system 10x harder

gleaming oar
#

it will fuck everything up

earnest trench
#

or choose one

gleaming oar
#

but it is more efficient

earnest trench
#

like me

#

and stick to it

earnest trench
jagged wyvern
#

and then when you ask for help someone tells you that's the wrong way

devout depot
#

I should be able to figure this out if I really put some time and effort into it, right? Writing my code more efficiently and less clumsily should be worth it

devout depot
earnest trench
#

so yeah

devout depot
#

Hell even the official documentation is about as beginner friendly as a crash course in bomb defusal

gleaming oar
#

That's why I like the samyam videos. After watching them like 5 times over I got the hang of it, and it is way easier for me to handle input now. Like before it'd take me hours to deal with user input, and now I can get really responsive input in 10 minutes

earnest trench
#

I just watch tuts, and recreate them, and usually by then I understand how they work

devout depot
#

The docs for just about every other part of Unity manages to provide some clarity, but the input system doc is agony

earnest trench
#

I don't really like the unity docs

#

too confusing

#

especially for beginners

jagged wyvern
#

they assume you know everything

#

and it doesn't help when there's confusing shit like inputsystem.inputsystem

gleaming oar

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERAN5KBy2Gs ```
#

I watched both of those videos over and over until I finally understood

devout depot
#

This experience actually made me briefly consider switching to UE4/5 until I remembered C++ is my sleep paralysis demon

jagged wyvern
#

i heard ureal is more user friendly

gleaming oar
#

it has to be to make up for C++

devout depot
jagged wyvern
#

less fighting the engine more making games

devout depot
#

Unity's strength definitely lies in its community

#

Case in point: y'all! ❤️

#

At least we're not using Godot

jagged wyvern
#

true

#

competition isn't bad tho

devout depot
#

It's necessary for progress in these industries. In tech, you snooze you go bankrupt

#

It still baffles me though that Unity considers itself the 'accessible' engine when its documentation and new user experience are basically hate crimes

jagged wyvern
#

yeah they need to hire someone that speaks human

gleaming oar
#

They could do things differently/better, but overall it's good enough (don't ban me mods)

#

Especially they could maybe offer a multiplayer solution that isn't client/host combo package

devout depot
#

I mean yeah, if it was shit we wouldn't be using it. Unity has some pretty great features that keep it afloat, such as the relative ease with which you can deploy software on virtually any platform

#

Hell, their WebGL stuff continues to impress me

gleaming oar
#

I was about to say excluding webgl lol

#

that entire platform is just up in the air atm

#

are they going to switch to WebGPU? Will they ever support multithreading? Will I die of old age before I know the answer to these questions?

devout depot
#

Well from what I've read, you actually can include multithreading with their jobs system

#

What i'd really like is for the bloody editor to use more than one thread

gleaming oar
#

does it not?

#

I can use system.threading in the editor and it works

devout depot
#

I've got a 3900x overclocked on all cores to 4.3Ghz at safe voltages and it uses one or two of my 24 threads

#

I specifically bought it because it was my understanding that compilers, terrain generators and the like thrived on parallelization

gleaming oar
#

I think default it uses one thread for rendering (with batched jobs helping) and one for audio?

#

Terrain generation you'd do in like maya or blender no?

devout depot

Which I dread potentially having to use again because apparently a 200x200m block of land requires half a terabyte of storage

I just need to know, if I have keyboard or mouse controls for my game, that absolutely NEEDS a mouse and cant be ported otherwise, do I need to do anything extra for the mouse to work on the android device if someone plugs it in

devout depot
#

Trying out that samyam video that was recommended to me, might be cool

devout depot
#

It seems like it should since android uses the same USB protocols everyone else does

tame oracle
#

okay, I might see if I can find a usb-c to usb adapter just to test it

devout depot
tame oracle
#

that fact NO ONE online had the same question on me that I can find leads me to believe that it just works

devout depot

#

Hmmm well I did have to create separate input actions for mouse input and touch input

devout depot
#

To my surprise, Unity can connect to Bluetooth devices in much the same way according to that document

gleaming oar
#

Shoot and ShootMouse have the same functionality, just connected to different input types

devout depot
#

@tame oracle if you're on Windows, maybe take a look at the android subsystem for windows to help you along

#

Holy cow this samyam is blowing other tutorials and guides out of the water with how clearly she's explaining things.

gleaming oar
#

Another thing the new input system solves is the previous conflict of reading input and the physics system. Before you'd have issues where you would try to move the player in Update() and it would give jittery movement/clipping glitches because the FixedUpdate is where all the physics processing happens. You could try to process everything in FixedUpdate, but it isn't guaranteed that your input will be received on a FixedUpdate frame. So you'd sometimes click and nothing would happen. The new system you don't have to worry about any of that

devout depot
#

You know, now that I'm watching this it's all beginning to make sense. With a bunch of crap thoroughly demystified I can suddenly see the advantages of the system

#

I don't know if that makes me more or less angry because this 30m youtube video is utterly humiliating Unity's official resources on the matter. It's criminal how poorly they explain it!

Pretty new to using the new input system, but I'm trying to have my game recognize when a player clicks on a game object (2D). Been doing some research on ways to do this and saw things like OnMouseDown() and Raycasts but wasn't sure if there was a better way to do it with the new system. Any recommendations on ways to go about recognizing mouse clicks in 2D?

#

From what it sounds like, OnMouseDown() no longer works with the new input system so I'm looking for some direction. 😅

jagged wyvern
#

make a detection method subscribe to an input action bounded to mb1

patent gazelle
#

Could you explain a little more what the detection method could look like? I understand how to create input actions with the system but I'm struggling with checking if the object has been clicked on.

jagged wyvern
#

raycast is your best bet

patent gazelle
devout depot
#

Okay, so I do feel like I've actually learned a bit about the Input System, but I've hit a weird snag. I'm trying to use unity events to trigger the Fire() function in the weapon controller script. No matter what I do it seems I can't get any functions to appear in the PrimaryFire event in PlayerInput

jagged wyvern
#

show a screenshot

devout depot
#

I tried simply plugging the weapon controller script into it, nothing. Wrote a bunch of stuff into the character controller, still can't see nothing

#

Of the player input component?

jagged wyvern
#

yes

devout depot
#

I'll go ahead and put the scripts up on Gist too

jagged wyvern
#

does the fire() method have an inputcontext parameter

devout depot
#

You mean like cs Fire(InputAction.CallbackContext context) ?

jagged wyvern
#

yea

devout depot
#

No, but I'll give that a whirl.

#

Nope, that didn't seem to do it

# 
    public void Fire(InputAction.CallbackContext context) //pow pow pow
    {
        
    }
#

that's what I tried

jagged wyvern
#

is it a monobehaviour

devout depot
#

Pardon?

jagged wyvern
#

the weapon controller script

devout depot
#

Here's the weapon controller script, lemme do the char controller too

#

I mean there's scr_WeaponController : MonoBehaviour in the class declaration

#

Man though it feels like I'm getting close to a breakthrough at least

jagged wyvern
#

instead of adding a script to the bottom left input, add the gameobject

#

instead of scr_weaponcontroller

#

whatever the parent is

devout depot
#

oh my god

#

you know what the empty field even asks for a gameobject

jagged wyvern
#

unity's fault for even letting you put a script in

devout depot
#

hey what do you know, it showed up when I actually did it correctly

#

unga bunga I'm maximum smoothbrain right now

#

Anyway, lemme plug a Debug.Log into the Fire function and we'll see how the inputs are behaving

#

Yep, it reads it. Now I just gotta stop it from calling Fire() three times with each press

jagged wyvern
#

I could tell you but it would be better if you learn how yourself

devout depot
#

I'm going to set an interaction on the bind for press and release and see what that gets me

jagged wyvern
devout depot
#

lmao that literally made it worse and called it 4 times instead of 3

jagged wyvern
#

read through that if you really want to learn how everything works

devout depot
#

had that open on my other monitor actually

#

welp lets see what I can find

#

Hmm...no changes yet. I do notice I'm getting two calls of Fire() when I press, and a third when I release the button.

jagged wyvern
#

is it a button action

#

or value

devout depot
#

button

jagged wyvern
#

i think you have to check for performed inside the method

#

if

#

(context.perfomed)

#

i don't use unity events so im not entirely sure

#

or it might be
if(context.phase == inputactionphase.perfomed)

devout depot
#

Lemme see

#

This look right? ```cs
public void Fire(InputAction.CallbackContext context) //pow pow pow
{
if(context.performed)
{
Debug.Log("Fired!");
}
}

jagged wyvern
#

if not that then try the second one

devout depot
#

YES

#

IT WORKED

echo crown
#

the mouse delta action becomes far more sensitive when I'm performing the move action, how can I solve this? I'm using the default generated input actions for player input

devout depot
#

Well now, I just have to figure out how to enable fully automatic fire

#

at last

#

finally

#

FINALLY

#

It's a little hit-or-miss, it doesn't always register quick taps and sometimes just stops responding altogether, but thats a hell of a lot better than it was earlier today

devout depot
#

I'm trying this out now to try and improve how quickly the bool changes ```cs
public void FireTap(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
{
if(context.started)
{
pullTrigger = true;
}
else if(context.performed)
{
pullTrigger = false;
}

}
#

Hard to tell if it's really having an effect though

started and performed start at the same time unless you use an interaction

devout depot
#

FireTap is a separate function that uses the Tap interaction; in this case, started marks the moment the pressPoint is passed and performed is when it goes back below pressPoint before the tap duration

#

For once, the documentation was actually very helpful

#

god I'll tell you man that was an exhausting experience, but it definitely feels worth it. I think I might have gained XP lmao

Moving over from #archived-code-general:

@austere grotto
These are all super helpful, thank you! Say I wanted to grab that InputActionReference from the code alone, I would need to somehow grab the whole input schema first, right?

Like Say I have:

InputActionReference mousepos;
Vector2 foo = mouspos.action.ReadValue<Vector2>();

If I chose not to assign mouspos through a serialization in the editor, how would I go about assigning it in the code?

austere grotto
#

where now you're referencing the whole asset

#

and you can get a particular action from a map/action name string

#

(this is assuming your action map is called "Actions")

mighty mason
#

Gotcha, so what I'm getting is that really at some point it'll require that I wire in either the whole InputActionAsset, or wire in individual actions, but either way I need to use the editor to do so, if I'm creating said mapping in the editor.

austere grotto
#

Again you can also use the generated C# class (there's a checkbox to generate this in the inspector for your actions asset), and then you'll get something like this:

// this class name is based on the asset name
MyInputActions myInput = new MyInputActions();
myInput.Enable();
InputAction mousePosAction = myInput.Actions.MousePosition;```
mighty mason
#

oh, I must've missed that part. Awesome!

#

Thank you this is super super helpful

austere grotto
#

The new system is very flexible, but it can be confusing since there's so many options

mighty mason
#

I'm getting that. Once I have it down though it seems way more robust and easy to change on the fly

gleaming oar
#

One slight change I might add is subscribing to the timing of the input action

#

At the start I would subscribe to the .started event with cs FireTapStarted(InputAction.CallbackContext context) { pullTrigger = true; } and the .performed with another function cs FireTapPerformed(InputAction.CallbackContext context) { pullTrigger = false; }

#

which would required adding them to the top cs controls.InputTest.started+= context => FireTapStarted(context); controls.InputTest.performed += context => FireTapPerformed(context);

But the way the character controls generally has little to do with that

you mean other actions ??

no

other bindings

on the Steer action

buoyant ibex
#

okay thanks will try

austere grotto

I think uncheck Default there and set the deadzone Min to 0

#

or something quite small

buoyant ibex
#

cant assign lesser than that

austere grotto
#

really? 🤔

buoyant ibex
#

i'll recheck

#

ya it resets to default

#

but thought deadzone means end points of sticks

#

like range of value from controller

austere grotto
#

deadzone is how far you can move the joystick before it detects any movement

#

all movement inside that zone is "dead"

buoyant ibex
#

what is difference on axis deadzone and stick ?

stick defines both axis dead zone ??

not sure

I've never used them

Nice. It works. Instantiating and setting up the callbacks rather than attempting to access the properties fixed the issue.

Is there an easy way to make key-presses act the same way as controller presses? It seems like the Logitech F310 I have continuously sends right thumbpad data, where the keyboard processes a keypress once and leaves it there.

# foggy notch The new input system

I'm working with the new input system. As I said, the thumbpad sends continuous events where the keyboard does not. I guess I can simply operate off of the 'triggered' property, but the autogenerated, "OnCameraForwardBackward" event ends up with two different types of input.

#

Actually, I'm wrong, nevermind. The thumbpad just changes more.

Hey, how I check what the last controlScheme my player used is?

I want on screen prompts to change based on what input the player is using, and I have controlSchemes for keyboard and gamepad

Specifically I'm trying to create a dash movement on a 2d platformer. Currently when I double tap the button, the player performs a dash. I have the interaction double-tap set to 2. This results in the player needing to tap and release the button twice, then push the button down a 3rd time to continue running. Does that make sense?
