you have two copies of the script in the scene

#

Ya

stable coral
#

Yes

#

Still doesnt explain why the player that actually uses the joystick refuses to move

austere grotto
#

well that'd be related to your other code

stable coral
# austere grotto well that'd be related to your other code 
    public void PlayerThrottleJoy(float inputJoy)
    {
        //Multiplies ThrottleSpeed and ReverseSpeed with input, all are independent float variables
        //Sets the independent variables to the front/back axis and creates some new independent vector variables

        float throttleForceJoy = (inputJoy) * throttleSpeed;
        float reverseForceJoy = (inputJoy) * reverseSpeed;


        //If there is a positive input, lerp from the current velocity to what the max speed is (throttle force) with an interpolation of the acceleration force
        //Joystick
        if (inputJoy > 0)
        {
            currentVelJoy = Vector3.Lerp(currentVel, new Vector3(0, 0, throttleForceJoy), throttleAccelerationForce * Time.deltaTime);
        }
        //If there is a negative input, lerp from the current velocity to what the max speed is (reverse force) with an interpolation of the acceleration force
        //Joystick
        else if (inputJoy < 0)
        {
            currentVelJoy = Vector3.Lerp(currentVel, new Vector3(0, 0, reverseForceJoy), brakeStrength * Time.deltaTime);
        }
        //if there is no input, lerp from your current speed to zero
        else if (inputJoy == 0 && currentVel.z != 0)
        {
            currentVelJoy = Vector3.Lerp(currentVel, Vector3.zero, throttleDecelrationForce * Time.deltaTime);
        }
    }```
austere grotto
#

well none of that actually moves anything

stable coral
#

oh yeah mb

# 
    private void FixedUpdate()
    {
        Vector3 direction = transform.TransformDirection(currentVel + currentNitroVel);
        rb.AddForce(direction - rb.velocity);

        float speedovalue = rb.velocity.z;
        speedovalue = Mathf.Abs(speedovalue);
        speedovalue = Mathf.RoundToInt(speedovalue);
    }```
#

the thing is that it works for kb but not for my joystick

austere grotto
#

none of that reads currentVelJoy

stable coral
austere grotto
#

so I can't see how the above code would affect it

stable coral
#

forgot to add it there

#

it does work, just hella slow though

#

atleast thats one issue solved

#

Is this the right place if I have a question regarding input and I'm using Rewired?
I have a specific case that I can't find a solution too and would love some new ideas to try.

austere grotto
#

Yeah this would be the best channel probably

#

But Rewired I believe does have its own forums and/or discord

thorn fulcrum
#

I didn't find a discord or forum, only a help section with FAQs. But I do remember in the past seeing a forum... If anyone have the link please let me know.

vivid junco
#

what's the input for nintendo switch joy cons

thorn fulcrum
#

Here's the challenge I'm facing :
I am using Rewired, my game supports controllers, keyboard and keyboard mouse.

In my UI I have selectable buttons with transitions handled by an animator (press, highlighted...)
When I use the mouse and over on a button, the highlighted state is on (expected).
If at that moment I move my controller joystick to another selectable button (switching input mode) , the previous selected button stays highlighted (since the mouse cursor is still on it).

I can't find a working way to force that previous button to stop being highlighted.

UPDATE
Finally found a solution that works. I'm still surprise that this is not handled more gracefully by Rewired / Unity.
I made an adaptation of this solution : https://answers.unity.com/questions/1130654/clearing-mouse-hover-effect-when-cursor-is-hidden.html

UPDATE 2
Here's a simpler way that works too.
// Put this code in a Controller changed callback if (controller.type != ControllerType.Mouse) { Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked; Cursor.visible = false; } else if (controller.type == ControllerType.Mouse) { Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.None; Cursor.visible = true; }

if i have all my inputs in 1 script and generate a single instance of the PlayerInput script my inputs work fine, but when I split the keyboard and gamepad inputs into their own scripts each generating their own instance I get Null Reference Exceptions when i press my inputs, anyone know why?

tame oracle
#

nevermind, twas me being silly

topaz hill
#

I'm looking for some input (pun intended) in regards to the different ways to implement the "new input system." Specifically, a comparison of the PlayerInput component vs using the class and interface generated from the InputActionAsset. Any good links/blogs comparing the two methods? Or maybe someone's personal experience?

austere grotto
topaz hill
#

Yep, aware of those as well. Didn't seem like good options unless you have reason to believe so...

austere grotto
#

InputActionReference is my go-to

#

the generated class is alright too

topaz hill
#

I like the generated class and interface. Just wondering about shortcomings and any caveats/gotchas that will rear their ugly heads later on.

untold gulch
#

PlayerInput on a singleton that you use to dispatch events can also work pretty nicely

#

Reduces the amount of manual work involved overall

#

The generated class "works" but it's pretty janky

topaz hill
#

I discussed the word janky with my protocol droid and it did not compute. Can you be a little more specific? 🙂

untold gulch
#

Awkward to work with and the code it generates is a bit of a mess

#

It also unfortunately doesn't implement the interfaces it provides on the generated types, which I remember being a pain point

topaz hill
#

What type of messaging are you using on your Player Input singleton?

untold gulch
#

The singleton has a PlayerInput component and then another component that receives the input events from that via SendMessage, which then call C# events

topaz hill
#

Got it.

untold gulch
#

It can be handy when you want to use PlayerInput but don't want it to be on the actual player object itself

#

i.e. in a multiplayer game

#

Since that would result in multiple PlayerInput components active at one time, when you only one want to represent the local player

topaz hill
#

So your not capturing the InputAction.CallbackContext? That's not possible with SendMessage, correct?

untold gulch
#

The SendMessage approach receives a type that wraps the callback context

#

Specifically, it gets an InputValue, which gets recycled between messages to avoid allocations

topaz hill
#

Didn't know that. Haven't seen examples.

untold gulch
#

So for example, I might have something like:

public event Action<Vector2> Move;

private void OnMove(InputValue value)
{
    Move?.Invoke(value.Get<Vector2>());
}

On my "listener" component

topaz hill
#

Yea, I see it now. Guess that's what I get for watching outdated youtube videos.

untold gulch
#

There's a surprising number of those for the input system lol

topaz hill
#

Worked like a charm. I kept wondering why the Unity Event and C# Event message would have a context and the SendMessage not. Thanks.

austere grotto
#

SendMessages is unfortunately pretty limiting

untold gulch
#

Yeah, I don't quite get why they don't expose the CallbackContext inside the InputValue

austere grotto
#

you can't distinguish between started, canceled and performed

untold gulch
#

If it weren't for that, it'd be perfect

austere grotto
#

You can always put your PLayerInput in C# events mode and use the playerInput.onActionTriggered event

#

if you want to do it all in code

untold gulch
#

Yeah, but at that point you lose most of the benefits of using PlayerInput (aside from like, automatic gamepad/keyboard switching)

topaz hill
untold gulch
#

Luckily though, so far SendMessage + callbacks has been good enough for me, whenever I need more granularity like started, performed, etc I can add a manual subscription via input.actions["Move"]

austere grotto
#

that's what it's made for

topaz hill
#

Ok.

austere grotto
#

PlayerInputManager + PLayerInput

#

is for local multiplayer

untold gulch
#

PlayerInput itself is useful because it handles switching automatically

#

PlayerInputManager though yeah, that one you don't need unless you're doing MP

austere grotto
untold gulch
#

It recognizes when you press something on a gamepad and switches the control scheme

austere grotto
#

Ok so like gamepad / kb + mouse switching

untold gulch
#

Yeah

austere grotto
#

or gamepad -> gamepad

#

w/e

#

interesting 🤔

untold gulch
#

Switching between gamepad and kb/m based on your inputs

#

You can of course implement it yourself, but why bother when PlayerInput has a working implementation

#

It also exposes events for when the switch happens so you can update your UI and stuff accordingly

#

From the docs:

If control schemes are present in actions, then if a device is used (not merely plugged in but rather receives input on a non-noisy, non-synthetic control) which is compatible with a control scheme other than the currently used one, PlayerInput will attempt to switch to that control scheme. Success depends on whether all device requirements for that scheme are met from the set of available devices. If a control scheme happens, InputUser signals ControlSchemeChanged on onChange.

austere grotto
#

Control schemes are still an area of the new input system that I don't fully understand

lost swift
#

What is best way to save rebinded inputs?

untold gulch
#

There are so many ways to do it that I don't think there's really a "best" way, but one option is to have an array of input binding overrides that you serialize to json or something

#

You'd basically iterate over all of your actions, collect the binding overrides active on them, and save them out

lost swift
#

Thanks!

topaz hill
#

@untold gulch How are you delineating between phases when using InputValue?

untold gulch
#

You unfortunately cannot because they don't expose the callback context for some reason

topaz hill
#

Ok. That's what I read and wondered if I'm missing something.

untold gulch
#

There's a hack you can do to get the value but ideally Unity would just expose it properly

# 
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using UnityEngine.InputSystem;

public static class InputValueExtensions
{
    public static ref InputAction.CallbackContext GetContext(this InputValue value)
    {
        return ref new InputValueUnion { InputValue = value }.RawInputValue.Context;
    }

    [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Explicit)]
    struct InputValueUnion
    {
        [FieldOffset(0)]
        public InputValue InputValue;

        [FieldOffset(0)]
        public RawInputValue RawInputValue;
    }

    class RawInputValue
    {
        public InputAction.CallbackContext Context;
    }
}
austere grotto
untold gulch
topaz hill
#

@austere grotto Are you willing to share how you use the InputActionReference?

austere grotto
topaz hill
#

Got that part. The part I'm missing is what you put in the serialized field.

austere grotto
#

Or:

[SerializeField]
InputActionReference moveRef;

void Update() {
  transform.Translate(moveRef.action.ReadValue<Vector2>() * Time.deltaTime);
}```
austere grotto
#

you can usually just press the circle thing on the right and choose from all of them

topaz hill
#

Hmmm....pulled one in and it successfully "set" it. Didn't work, though.

austere grotto
#

I'm usually not dragging/dropping, just selecting from the circle menu

#

they usually all show up there for me

topaz hill
#

Yea, they are there and can be selected. Checking other stuff.

austere grotto
#

YOu may have to enable your asset from somewhere

topaz hill
#

The InputActionAsset, correct?

#

So your creating an instance of it somewhere in your code?

austere grotto
#

no

#

just referencing the real one

#

I generally have a single script that manages enabling/disabling action maps

#

Probably I enable the asset from there

#

Don't remember off the top of my head

topaz hill
#

Disregard. It works. Unity was not detecting mouse clicks. Moving it to the keyboard worked. Have to solve the mouse issue now.

#

@austere grotto I think you are tired of talking about it, but I have one other question. Using the generated C# wrapper class for the InputActionAsset is strongly typed, provides a convenient interface to implement and eliminates the need for serialized fields. Are there any pros/cons to doing it your way vs the C# wrapper? Simply personal preference?

austere grotto
#

I like my way because I don't have to manage my own instance of the actions asset. Also last time I checked the generated code didn't contain quite the entire interface of InputActionMap and such, but that might have changed since last I used it. I also like the directness of being able to reference the input action in the inspector like any other ScriptableObject or what have you. I can reassign it without changing the code. It feels very "Unity" to me.

#

It is of course my preference

topaz hill
#

Ok. Cool.

#

can i identify a device with any data from PlayerInput.devices[]? I need to pass the player devices to another scene but the deviceID returns another device with InputSystem.devices[deviceID] . I can use a foreach loop to check which devices match but if there is a better way i would be happy to know

#

NVM found how

mental musk
#

I have set up several input devices (PS4, XBox, etc.) and a general gamepad profile, but when I connect the PS4 gamepad, etc. it uses the general gamepad profile rather than the PS4 one. Is that a Unity bug or intended behaviour?

#

I think there are major issues with Unity's new input system right now regarding gamepad controllers.
I'm having issues where my controllers are just randomly disconnecting, when I can play games fine while Unity thinks they are disconnected.
Someone else is having this issue too https://forum.unity.com/threads/xbox-controller-stopped-working-in-unity-but-still-work-outside.1246507/ and i've submitted a bug report.
But I would like to know if anyone else is experiencing this too?

hello, i'm trying to get ahold of the new input system, and i'm having this issue where despite (to the best of my knowledge) i set up the input as a 1axis float, it isn't read as a float. how can i convert from teh input value read to a float?

#

some of those old comments are just old code i'm keeping around for reference, so don't worry too much about those

austere grotto
#

Method invocation requires () in C#

tight nebula
#

okay, but if i try that, then enter float, it returns as invalid

#

same with input, axis, int, bool, vector2, and vector3, under this context;

unknown.png
#

nor does it work if i do something akin to;
throttleAmnt = ReadValue(verious destinations)

#

i converted teh control type to a double, and tried to search for a double instead of a float, or other variables, and it's still unhappy

#

given the documentation, it implys i should use one of the two i've already used, but this doesn't seem to work basically at all

austere grotto
#

it's just a simple C# syntax issue on your side

Hi. I'm working on learning the input system to move/rotate a box using either WASD and arrows or an XBox 360 controller. I set the sticks to 2D Vector and analogue, yet the thumbsticks act like 8-way switches. In other words, it's like I'm stuck with the digital-normalized mode, when I want the analogue mode. All three options 2D composite modes seem to behave the same. Any idea where to start?

austere grotto

#

Just tried it for the 12th time, and it works. I could've sworn I tried those settings before. Thank you!

#

The only change I can think of was rebooting the project.

tight nebula
#

anyone have any idea why this script to rotate my empty wont work? debug.log reads an input, but when i try to turn it it jsut sorta freaks out in place like it wants to turn but cant

🌈 .rotation is a Quaternion

tight nebula
#

yes, i'm aware, but i need to use quaternion.eular(variable) to convert the roll, yaw, and pitch into a quaternion

#

if i remove it, it errors out

#

specifically with this

#

because when i try to create a quaternion, i cannot seem to specify a w, so i need to use a vector, then convert that vector to said quaternion

#

so as much as i appreciate a meme, i do feel like your comment fails to understand what i'm getting at, and i'm sorry if i didn't explain it well enough.

austere grotto
tight nebula
#

i have, and i've erased basically every reference

austere grotto
#

What may help is to understand that you can compose Quaternions by multiplying them together. I.e. transform.rotation * Quaternion.Euler(0,1,0) will give you a new rotation that is the object's current rotation rotated by 1 degree in the y axis

#

Maybe you can extrapolate from that

tight nebula
austere grotto
#

You haven't fixed what I described above

tight nebula
#

for aditional context, this the entirety of where the variable is being called except for where it's established

austere grotto
#

You're still trying to read x y and z from a quaternion

tight nebula
#

and i will try that in a second, i'm simply just trying to show why my confusion might be so

austere grotto
#

Your confusion is that you think x y and z in the quaternion represent rotations around the x y and z axis but they do not

tight nebula
#

x is roll, y is yaw, z is pitch

#

to be blunt, i've done game development in unreal engine before, i understand the fundimentals.

#

i understand rotating is like if you stuck a rod into it, and rotated it around that

austere grotto
#

They are not angles. Not around anything.

#

What you're describing are Euler angles

#

Trying to stick quaternion components into Euler angles is like sticking a round peg into a square hole. It doesn't fit

#

Try printing out transform.rotation. See what it prints

tight nebula
#

okay, well, then i guess that is my issue, and the tutorial i found is nulll

#

and okay

austere grotto
#

(but that's not your issue)

tight nebula
#

yes, my bad, and after teh debug, the x, y, z, and w

#

after using transform.rotation, i have the issue where unity is asking for the w input

#

so unless i need to do like in unreal, and plug 3 vectors and a float into this, i don't understand the issue

glass yacht
#

Don't use or set individual values of a quaternion

#

.eulerAngles/.localEulerAngles are the Vector3 euler angle values

#

also that's not how you create a vector

#

The problem I was initially talking about was this

unknown.png
#

not how you used Quaternion.Euler, which was fine

tight nebula
#

then what is the issue with it? i see no reason this might be wrong

glass yacht
#

you are creating a Vector3 out of values from a quaternion

#

it makes no sense

#

Quaternions are 4 dimensional normalised values. They are not degrees like euler angles

tight nebula
#

i'm literallty just trying to rotate an empty

glass yacht
#

.eulerAngles/.localEulerAngles are the Vector3 euler angle values

#

seeing as you have a rigidbody, you can get the euler angle rotations from the quaternion using rotation.eulerAngles

#

An easier way to do it might look like rb.rotation = Quaternion.AxisAngle(Vector3.up, 5) * rb.rotation;

tight nebula
#

i appreciate the attempt at helping, but i tfeels like the time is being wasted, i awknowlege i was using quaternions wrong, and i'm understand that adn will do my best not to do it again, however, the issue is, i feel liek i've been told a whole lot of what not to do, but not how to do it.
i'm sorry, but simply saying i should use x without context of where is very confusing, and i'm having to google practically everythign you're saying after to try understand where to properly impliment it

#

trying to follow what you've been saying has led me here

austere grotto
#

You ignored it

glass yacht
tight nebula
#

do you mean i use that to get the vector "newRot"

austere grotto
#

It creates a new quaternion

#

not a Vector3

#

a Quaternion

tight nebula
#

do you mean i use that to adjust the output

#

yes, i understand that

#

but my point still stands

austere grotto
#

transform.rotation can be assigned to a quaternion

tight nebula
#

okay, again, where

austere grotto
#

in your code...

#

ger rid of newRot

tight nebula
#

where in my code

#

there is 3 things happening at once, and just telling me to do so, is not helping as i am both a novis and inexperianced with c#, coming from unreal with c++

#

okay, will try

austere grotto
#

I don't want to completely spoon feed you here, I want you to understand a bit.

#

Just try this for a second:

transform.rotation = transform.rotation * Quaternion.Euler(0, 1, 0);```
#

see what this does

#

I recommend not trying to understand what the x, y, z, w are. Don't even think about them. Just think of the rotation as a whole.

tight nebula
#

what you fail to understand, is if i'm clearly not understanding this, having the expectation of me just getting it is not helping.
i'm fine with you wanting me to try something, however i think it would save us both time and energy if you did just treat me like an idiot lol

and okay, i can do that

#

and it appear to be doing nothing after replacing the last line of my code

austere grotto
#

this line of code replaces all of the code inside your if statement

tight nebula
#

okay, i will try that

austere grotto
#

yep

tight nebula
#

doing this does perceivably nothing

austere grotto
#

is your joystick deadzone over the threshold?

tight nebula
#

i'm not saying it is, i just cannot see anything at a glance that is different

austere grotto
#

Or wait - did you run it?

tight nebula
#

i pulled a 404, i forgot i actually needed to press the joystick lol

#

yes, it is spinning in a cw fashion

austere grotto
#

Is it spinning the way you want? (don't worry about the speed for the moment)

#

but the nature of the rotation

tight nebula
#

i need it to spin both ways.
turnAmnt is my left joystick y, so to explain my thought process, i'm imagining i need to multiply that 1 by my turnAmnt variable

austere grotto
#

Seems reasonable to me

glass yacht
#

you should be able to replace that 1 with whatever you want now

austere grotto
#

Don't forget your turningForce and deltaTime as well

tight nebula
#

very true

glass yacht
#

I'm also not sure as to the context of the code but you may want to Mathf.Abs the turningAmt in your if statement if you expect it to be negative, that way negative values pass that check

austere grotto
#

To try to explain what actually is happening here:
Unity represents rotations with Quaternions. A quaternion represents some rotation away from the "default" rotation. You can "compose" quaternions using the * operator. So all we're doing here is taking your object's existing rotation (transform.rotation) and composing a new rotation of some degrees around the y axis with it, and then setting that composed result back to the object.

#

hopefully that makes sense 🤔

tight nebula
#

it does enough

#

ty

#

and just with a reply

glass yacht
#

And what was wrong before was that you were composing a euler angle rotation using values you got from a quaternion

tight nebula
#

this is no longer working

austere grotto
tight nebula
#

just did

#

and still nothing

#

because i caught that just i posted it

austere grotto
#

brackets are still wrong

glass yacht
#

the braces are not wrapping around the content of the if statement

#

if statements without braces only affect one statement (the log)

austere grotto
#

although if tbh it should still be rotating just fine anyhow, just not respecting the deadzone

tight nebula
#

lol, i was looking at a different bracket

glass yacht
#

regardless, you probably just need to scale your turningAmt by a larger value now it's being tempered by deltaTime

tight nebula
#

i think you call them parenthesis or something

austere grotto
#

() are parentheses
{} are brackets or curly braces

tight nebula
#

the finale working statement

#

key word working

#

and ty for the help

#

and for a dash of context, i'm in SW canada, and i've basically only ever heard of () as brackets

#

not saying you're wrong, just a mental roadblock lol

#

grey vs gray as far as i'm concerned

austere grotto
#

sorry about the confusion, yeah maybe parentheses is an American term? idk

tight nebula
#

for context, i learned pedmas as bedmas lol

#

and it's fine, just felt like with this i should be as clear as possible, not trying to come across as rude, and i really appreciate the help

#

but if something wasn't working, i feel like i should call it out

#

and yeh, at the end it felt like ti was working much better so woop

#

I'm having an issue with the Input System that I hope someone could help me out with. I am trying to implement basic left/right movement in a 2D game, and it works great for KBM. But I'd like to also have gamepad support, so I added another 1D axis binding under my movement action and assigned the positive/negative bindings to the appropriate direction on the gamepad. However, when I plug in my controller to test it, while the player character is moving, it is doing so at a much slower rate. I wrote a quick Debug.Log() line and discovered that while the keyboard is giving out perfect readings of either 1, -1, or 0, the controller is reading very inconsistently between about .5 and .8 (or the inverse if holding the other direction). This is happening even when I push the stick as far as it goes. How can I make the inputs consistently read max value when held fully in one direction?

#

Just tried with the controller's dpad and that works as it should (reading 1, -1, or 0)

Hello! How can i save specific button from up/down/left/right composite after rebinding?

how do you disable a action map during runtime?

ive tried doing ```csharp
private PlayerInput InputSystem;

InputSystem.actions.FindActionMap("Menu").Enable();

and ive also tried like 3 other ways with no success

so whats the proper way to disable and enable action maps, or am I doing something in the setup wrong thats not allowing this stuff to work

Just asking this here as it's an input question. I'm getting the mouse position in the manner below...

public Vector2  MousePosition   => controls.BipedMovement.MousePosition.ReadValue<Vector2>();

I'm using this to rotate a rigidbody on the Y axis based on the movement of the mouse on its X axis. The problem is that the speed of rotation is affected by the overall size of the screen or viewport - and given I'm hoping to put this program onto browsers and a variety of platforms, I'd like to find a way to make my code screensize agnostic. Any clues? =)

yRotDesired     = (iC.TurnInputRaw.normalized.x + iC.MouseDelta.normalized.x) * (speedTurn * speedCur) * Time.fixedDeltaTime;
moveRotDesired  = rbBody.rotation * Quaternion.Euler(0.0f, yRotDesired, 0.0f);

Roger, understood.

#

Any chance you could clarify 1) ? Just curious.

austere grotto
#

Mouse Delta is in absolute terms

#

It's the number of pixels the mouse moved since the last reading

#

By definition this is already framerate adjusted

delicate pollen
#

Right.

#

Also, I'm an idiot for not even posting the relevant input code for the mouse. Thanks @austere grotto , you're bang on the money.

austere grotto
#

Although if this is FixedUpdate, you may have an issue of double reading or missing mouse input unless you set the input cadence to be FixedUpdate in the input system

delicate pollen
#

The input is captured outside FixedUpdate, then applied within FixedUpdate.

austere grotto
#

That's a little dangerous. FixedUpdate may run 0 times in a frame or multiple times in a frame. If you do that you need to consume the input in FixedUpdate

#

So it won't be read twice

#

And accumulate it in the other place

delicate pollen
#

Hmm. Okay, this is sorta new to me.

#

By 'dangerous', are we talking about 'potential harm to hardware/os' or 'harm to the running of the Unity program' or 'may cause the player behavior to be wonky'?

austere grotto
#

Wonky behavior

#

Sorry dangerous was the wrong word

delicate pollen
#

I've been basically using this methodology for years on multiple projects and haven't encountered a problem, so I'm very interested to hear details, if you can spare the time (or point me in the right direction). Always looking for better practices.

delicate pollen
#

I'm currently storing, for example, rotation data in the class variable moveRotDesired.

austere grotto
#

If you haven't noticed any issues I guess don't worry about it

#

It's possible I don't fully understand your setup

delicate pollen
#

Honestly, I'm interested in learning about 'consuming'. Are we basically talking about calling a function from fixed update with the data fed to parameters?

#

I'm guessing 'no'. =)

#

Don't want to waste your time, though.

distant glacier
delicate pollen
#

Disregard that, I'm an idiot, apologies, carry on.

delicate pollen
#

Btw, @austere grotto , now I have the scalar in for the Mouse Delta, I'm definitely seeing the wonky behavior you described.

delicate pollen
#

God, apologies in advance if I'm being dense. Let me just get the current relevant code...

public Vector2  MouseDelta      => controls.BipedMovement.MouseDelta.ReadValue<Vector2>();

This ^ is from my inputController script, talking to the new InputSystem.

yRotDesired     = iC.TurnInputRaw.normalized.x + (iC.MouseDelta.normalized.x * iC.MouseSensitivity) * (speedTurn * speedCur) * Time.deltaTime;
moveRotDesired  = rbBody.rotation * Quaternion.Euler(0.0f, yRotDesired, 0.0f);

This ^ is from my PlayerTraversal script, called from Update().

private void FixedUpdate()
    {
        if(sendToRigidbody)
        {
            // moveDirDesired.y = 0.0f;
            Vector3 position = rb.position + moveDirDesired * Time.deltaTime * speedCur;
            rb.MovePosition(position);
            rbBody.MovePosition(position);
            rbBody.MoveRotation(moveRotDesired);
        }
    }

That ^ is my FixedUpdate() event.

So, to fix this, I'd be... List<quaternion> ListOfMoveRotations.add the desired rotations as they're processed in the Update() event. This would accumulate the input every frame.

Then, in FixedUpdate, I'm basically doing,

rbBody.MoveRotation(ListOfMoveRotations.pop);

After the .pop operation, I'd basically do,

ListOfMoveRotations = new List<quaternion>;

...making it ready to be filled by the code in Update.

Does this make sense? Apologies @austere grotto , the whole consume thing is sorta new to me.

Hi! There is any way to have multiple ways of calling a button? For example, in a inventory, equip with the north button/shift click, throw with the east/supr etc

glass yacht
#

You can use bindings with modifiers, but there is no way currently to make modifiers disable other actions that are a subset of the binding. You have to do it manually

thorny osprey
#

Yeah but I dont want to prevent another action. I want to call a ui button with another input button

azure storm
#

are you asking about secondary keys do the same thing ?
like multiple keys can trigger same action ?

glass yacht
#

I don't get what you're asking. You can do what you want with the action, you can have multiple action maps if you want to switch between UI and another state that has different usages of the same controls

thorny osprey
#

I have an inventory which is a grid of buttons. Now, I want to do two things with that buttons. If I press key1 when I have the button selected I want to do thing1, if I press key2 with the button selected, I want to do thing2

glass yacht
#

So do different things in those callbacks, you can check which button you've selected and do whatever you want

thorny osprey
#

Yeah, probably Im overcomplicating this

Hello, what I am trying to do should be very simple but I cannot understand the documentation so I need help. I am trying to get my horizontal_movement action to invoke a move function. However, I have 2 issues, first issue is that the function does not show up as selectable, and 2nd issue is that I do not know what parameters are being passed when it invokes the function.

(Also your binding is a 1D float and your code is asking for a Vector2)

sly marsh
austere grotto

is it not?

austere grotto
#

it should be
Action Type: Value
Control Type: Vector2

#

And then you can do a 2D vector composite or 4 button composite (up left down right) or whatever it's called with WASD as the binding

sly marsh
#

I'm just trying to do horizontal movement with this action, I'm leaving up and down separate

austere grotto
#

Then it should be
Action Type: Value
Control Type: Axis

#

And your code should be doing ReadValue<float>() not Vector2

sly marsh
#

It still isn't showing the debug log when I press the buttons even after changing the types to what you said

unknown.png unknown.png
#

It isn't invoking the events at all for some reason

Looks like you have a control scheme named "Keyboard"?

(i recommend not messing with control schemes until you have the basic stuff working btw)

for my 3D game, using built in engine, I am using the "Player Input" script for my game and inside, I have a custom "Actions" (Input Action Asset). UI Input Module (None). etc... This controls my player and its working fine currently. I then have a 2D Canvas for the UI and inside that I have "Input System UI Module" which has Default - for the Input Action Asset (the stock one unity creates).

I try to use my custom input action asset from the player, and it just doesn't work with the mouse or click or anything, but using the built in stock one it works great.

Can I 'mix and match' 2 different input schemes? 1 on PlayerInput.cs and 1 on InputSystemUIInputModule.cs ? Its working right now with the 2 different input action assets but didn't know if I should be using 1 and if i am... why using 1 (the first one thats custom) doesn't work but the default does, i've even opened the default and copied the UI over 1:1 so still not sure on that.

gleaming oar
#

I leave the InputSystemUIInputModule alone since I think it just interfaces with the EventSystem

#

Then for like button UI input I just use the built in Button class and either drag in a script for the onclick event or subscribe one in script

#

I use a single input action with touch and mouse click location setup

this works well since they're both a Vector2

Hi. I'm looking at the new input system, and I decided I need a custom composite for my logic (switching gears). The idea is to have space enable the clutch, and shift-ctrl change the gears up and down respectively. The problem is that my composite is stateful, as in it will have to depend on its previous state. Is it stored somewhere, you do I have to just store it in a private field? Also, is InputBindingComposite.ReadValue going to be called every time the input is provided, or every time the input is queried, or just a single time when it's queried and then cached?

#

Here's a sketch to give you a bit more context

public class GearComposite : InputBindingComposite<GearInteractionType>
{
    [InputControl(layout = "Button")]
    public int clutchPart;

    [InputControl(layout = "Button")]
    public int gearUpPart;

    [InputControl(layout = "Button")]
    public int gearDownPart;
    public float timeBeforeCanChangeGearsAfterClutchGetsEnabled;

    private GearInteractionType _previousEvaluatedType;

    public override GearInteractionType ReadValue(ref InputBindingCompositeContext context)
    {
        // TODO: take into account the parameter.
        bool clutch = context.ReadValueAsButton(clutchPart);
        if (!clutch)
        {
            _previousEvaluatedType = GearInteractionType.None;
            return GearInteractionType.None;
        }

        float up = context.ReadValue<float>(gearUpPart);
        float down = context.ReadValue<float>(gearDownPart);
        float sum = up - down;

        if (Mathf.Approximately(sum, 0))
        {
            _previousEvaluatedType = GearInteractionType.Clutch;
            return GearInteractionType.Clutch;
        }

        if (_previousEvaluatedType != GearInteractionType.Clutch)
            return GearInteractionType.Clutch;

        if (sum > 0)
        {
            _previousEvaluatedType = GearInteractionType.Up;
            return GearInteractionType.Up;
        }

        _previousEvaluatedType = GearInteractionType.Down;
        return GearInteractionType.Down;
    }

I realize that this is trash, because if I have multiple such bindings, they will all refer to separate states of the previous input

If I am using Unity's old input system, how would I go about fully disabling any input from the mouse? I am trying to make the game only have keyboard inputs but if the mouse is clicked on screen, all of my buttons deselect

austere grotto
#

er wait not submit

#

🤔

#

replace your standalone input module with a custom one

#

it's a lot easier in the new input system as there's a simple checkbox to disable deselect on click

I am half wondering if it just makes more sense to just upgrade but I also have no idea how much I need to rebuild to implement that

Hey guys, was wondering if i could get some help with my implementation of the input system for a touch mobile device. I have a couple problems with my current implementation.

What i wish to achieve: Have 2 joysticks in left and right bottom half of screen that are floating and can create a new anchor point wherever the player taps. And to have the top half of the screen be a "swipe region" that can detect swipes.

Current problems: 1. The joysticks aren't floating. They're fixed in place. Im using the input system On-screen stick component script, which is uneditable so im not sure how to go about it. I actually tried just importing the script from the floating joystick in that free asset on the asset store (called joystick pack), and its very promising but the handle jitters back to the center of the background every couple seconds. I think this is because the on-screen stick and floating joystick scripts are in conflict, but i would need the on-screen stick component still in order to read the input as movement.

  1. secondly, my swipe region works but not if im currently using the joysticks because im currently touching the screen so it just exits the script basically. Not sure how to fix this while staying in the input system, because id like for users to easily switch to a bluetooth controller if they want.

Thanks, sorry i know thats a mouthful. Just really stuck on this core issue of the game and its hard to test my builds until this is all working smoothly

slate fiber
#

what is the recommended way to use new input system
unity events or c# generated class?

#

i watched a tutorial that says use unity events but i dont want my methods to be public

#

it doesnt feel right to make them public

indigo patrol
#

Depends, if you want to do it manually, you can do so

InputSystem.onEvent
        .ForDevice<Keyboard>()
        .Call(ctrl =>
        {  
            foreach (var button in ctrl.GetAllButtonPresses())
            Debug.Log($"{button} was pressed");
        });

Judging by how you worded your question, I don't think you want this method. So yeah just stick with what Unity told you or most tutorials you can find out there

#

if you for some reason want to go with the snippet above, just make sure to dispose it (onscenechange/disable etc) with IDisposable

spiral galleon
#

The events is more of a designer way of assigning controls to things

indigo patrol
#

the good thing with new inputSystem, if you chose to ditch out the generated class and prefer to handcraft it yourself, you can do so and make your own reusable template in form of c# classes, sorta like a compact library which you can use for other projects.

I personally don't like the generated-class thingy it's not that straight forward and too many steps just for an inputsystem

Hello there, newcome here, having a spot of trouble getting the settings working right.

I'm on the new InputSystem v1.3.0 - I'm getting the left stick (Gamepad) and Mouse delta to work fine for movement and camera change respectively, however for some reason the keyboard is not doing anything. A debug logger is showing that it's simply not activating the sendMessage OnMove() or OnLook() method through these systems.

Any ideas what I may have done wrong. I copied the composite vector layout of the InputSystem default structure but even the default fails to provide any inputs.

    private void OnMove(InputValue movementValue) {
        movementVector = movementValue.Get<Vector2>();
        Debug.Log("Movement Vector: " + movementVector);
    }

    void Update()
    {
        ...
        // Surface Movement
        Vector3 move = transform.right * movementVector.x + transform.forward * movementVector.y;
        controller.Move(move * moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
        ...
    }

So the above works with Gamepad left stick, but the keyboard is not recognized. Then the mouse works fine to look around, but the right stick does nothing!

I set the Input System component on both the Player and the Camera objects and I have mapped all the necessary controls using the same Actions (Move and Look) creating a Composite Vector2 for the keyboard.

edit: auto-switch is enabled for both player and cam, not that it matters given that the joystick has one stick working and the other not.
My working theories atm are that using the same Input System on two separate objects might be bad for whatever reason, or there's some quirk with the InputSystem that's escaping me.

Appreciate any help

And I setup the numpad on keyboard for view and both mouse delta and numpad gives me a valid vector2 to look around. Right stick still not doing anything tho. Left stick lets me move but neither WASD nor Arrow Keys do anything. The method is simply not triggering for them. I'm very confused.

cursive oxide
#

Does anybody know how to extend the OnScreenStick component from the input system to make my joystick a floating joystick?

austere grotto
#

define "floating joystick"?

cursive oxide
#

A floating joystick is where the center point spawns in where your finger touches and then locks in place until u lift up ur finger. Then it returns the transform back to starting vector

#

Should be fairly simple code but i don't know how to either edit the onscreenstick script, or make an extension of it in some way

From the above problem that I had, I ended up redoing everything step by step and successfully got both keyboard (WASD) and Mouse (Delta) as well as Joystick (LStick and RStick) to control movement and camera respectively.

Go on the action, up top above the binding

And change Type to Value

#

It will accept a 2D vector as is shown in that screenshot where I setup WASD to be mapped as a composite 2D Vector

Currently everything breaks for me when using Control Schemes, so maybe best avoid those too unless you know what you're doing. I'm not in that regards.

Greetings,
I hope this is the correct channel, as it could fit in some others too.
We are currently developing a webgl racing game.
Currently we are having troubles with the mobile controlls (When you play the game in an mobile browser)

Problem is, that we have multiple buttons for the controlls (see image)
and each of those is using the Event Triggers PointerUp Down and Exit.

The called Method(s) just toggle different bools depending on which button is pressed.

public void OnPressGas() { Debug.Log("OnPressGas"); isGasBtnDown = true; }

While this works so far, there are issues with pressing and releasing multiple buttons in different orders.
For example if you press the "gas" button you drive forward. Now while stil pressing the gas button and then pressing the left button for example
the car drives forward and left. But now if you release the gas button while stil pressing on the left button, the car stil drives forward left.
I added some console logs and the PointerUp and PointerExit buttons only trigger for the last pressed button.

I hope I explained it right. I searched for a few days now how to fix this and couldn't find an working answer.
I tried removing not needed Raycasts from hud elements and also the solutions discussed in this forum topic: https://forum.unity.com/threads/onpointerup-occasionally-doesnt-fire.435230/
I hope someone here can help. Thanks in advance 🙂

I'm also trying to impliment it so when I lay off the input it stops moving

doesn't really work

#

Still haven't found the answer: How do you read swipe detection with the new input system when you're already touching the screen? Users will be using a joystick with one hand and can use the other thumb to swipe. My implementation works right now but only if im not touching the joystick already because im only accepting swipes on the top half of the screen and accepting joystick movement on the bottom half. The swipe detection script returns because its reading my touch on the lower half already

gleaming oar
#

Kinda depends on what you want the swipe to do, but typically first you'd differentiate a swipe from a touch by checking for a drastic change in position of the finger while held down. Then just keep track of the change in distance between the original touch position and the position when the finger is lifted

cursive oxide
#

Well that is what im doing. My swipe detection works just like that

gleaming oar
#

So once your touch[0] is using the joystick swipes dont work

#

so you could listen for swipes on other finger touches

i don't see how this is generally useful though - it'd be completely different code than your actual gameplay movement code

As someone much more experienced in Unity - I think this is counterproductive. Stick to writing actual game code and entering play mode to test it

only write editor code if you're making tools for the editor

Yeah the documentation from unity doesn't dive very deep on it either. Just curious but were you able to use the interface that the generated script makes? It's how unity recommends using it but I haven't found any tutorials that actually use it. But I was able to get it working and using the interface seems to make the rest a lot more simple (as in getting access to all the actions and their callbacks)

cursive oxide
languid current
#

sounds about right lol

near raven
#

If you open the generated c# script then go all the way towards the bottom you should see an interface for each action map

#

It simplifies setting up callbacks

But I haven't found any tutorial or anything that uses it. It's crazy

I just had an idea and its probably dumb and might not work but im gonna try this in a last ditch effort

What if instead of reading swiping, I make a 3rd joystick that has no image but takes up the whole part of the screen i want to detect swiping. This should work but im not sure if having a 3rd joystick is doable, at least for me to do lol

You have
motor.ProcessMove(onGround.Movement.ReadValue<Vector2>())

Maybe try

Vector 2 moveDirection = onGround.Movement.ReadValue<Vector2>();
motor.ProcessMove(moveDirection);

#

Something like that

#

Sometimes caching the value before using helps me

alrighty

Why did no one tell me

that you can use your right click as a second touch point. This makes testing so much easier

Do you guys have an answer for my question? I've spent about 6 hours in the past 3 days and I can't figure it out.

I'm trying to stop the character (Polygon Collider 2D) from moving through a wall (Tilemap Collider 2D).

1 var hitResults = new RaycastHit2D[10];
2 var hitX = collider.Cast(new Vector2(desiredX, 0), bodyFilter, hitResults);
3 //var test = new Collider2D[10];
4 //hitX = collider.OverlapCollider(bodyFilter, test);
5 if (hitX == 0)
6 {
7     transform.Translate(desiredX, 0, 0);
8 }

Why does the character not stop moving horizontally when I run the code like this? I proved the character can collide with the wall because it does stop moving horizontally when I uncomment the two lines (3&4).

Anyone familiar with working with the generated c# script in the new input system?

#

And using invoke c# events notification behavior

austere grotto
#

Which would be a different approach from using the generated script

near raven
#

Oh hmmm I've been a bit confused with it. I actually was able to just get rid of the PlayerInput component and just write an input script that inherits from the generated c# script, so I have access to an interface that lets me easily access the callbacks for each of my actions. But I haven't found anything that goes about using it the way I have.

#

Anyone I've seen use the generated script manually registers the action maps and everything but not use the interface that it provides to do it.

#

I thought that using the generated script was considered invoking c# everts since it was all dealt with in code

austere grotto
near raven
#

A little bit yeah, what I'm focused on is using the interface from the generated c# script. That's all I really want to get figured. How come nobody uses the interface?

austere grotto
#

Some people use it

#

You have to use the SetCallbacks(myListener) method on an instance of the generated class

near raven
#

Oh yeah I've got it working for the most part. I'm just unsure of how to properly work with the callbacks I guess. Here is a chunk of my code to show how I've got it set up.

austere grotto
#

The interface will force you to implement some functions

#

Those are the functions that will be called

near raven
#

Yes, the functions are all the actions that were created in the actions asset. Like, my "Player" action map has an action called "Move" so it has a corresponding "OnMove" function from the interface.

#

My confusion is how to properly write code inside the functions using the callbacks

austere grotto
#

Wdym? What's confusing you?

near raven
#

I've just been figuring it all out through trial and error. I can't find any documentation or tutorials on the way im doing things with the generated script. Weird stuff happens when I refactor like I move a lot slower for no reason. Also, figuring out how all the callbacks get called when you trigger a function and how to correctly work with them

austere grotto
#

It works the same way as the others

#

You get a call to your function when the actuation of the input changes

#

(it's also dependent on which interactions if any you've used on the action)

near raven
#

Ok I guess I'll go through how the other ways work and figure out the callbacks. Do you have any recommendations for a tutorial that demonstrates working with the callbacks and possibly linking the input to other scripts. (i.e. input script working with a weapon script or something? ) or maybe getting like a charge up action to work? (Like charging a gun to shoot a stronger bullet)

because having overload functions look nasty

or should i go with overload functions either way? i cant decide

I'm using the old InputSystem and Unity 2019.4 . Currently trying to get multi-display input working. From what I have heard and read, the second display is expected to be in fullscreen all the time. I have hacked my way out of this using windows specific commands (user32 stuff). The problem is, this completely messes up the mouse coordinates (I seem to get them relative to the main display). I think I could fix this, but I would have to be able to manipulate the mouse coordinates before they are sent to the UI/Canvas. Or send my own mouse-events. Is there any way to achieve this?

I see you can run new and old input modules at the same time. Would a valid use case for this to be running a character controller in the old input (like rewired or built in) and then running the UI in the new input system?

austere grotto
#

Or when you have a third party asset/plugin that uses the old system that you cannot modify

#

that said you can do whatever you want

candid brook
#

I was using 100% new, but i was having some issues with the xbox triggers as buttons and etc etc, so as a temporary fix the old input works on it no problems, so i switched to that, but my UI uses a 3rd party library that only runs on new, so i needed both.. took a bit of fiddling to get them to work but they do now after a bit of trial and error. I can check back on the new input in the future when i have some time to get a workaround etc

#

one quick question, is there a github or a bug tracker / changelog / etc for new input that i can go see outstanding issues and things planned ?

Hey I am having an issue that Im not quite sure even how to debug....

When I restart my game, in game via script by loading a temporary scene, then unloading all scenes, then loading into my title screen.... my PlayerInput module, which is supposed to be sending out C# events, no longer does so. its functioning fine otherwise, nothing looks wrong in the Input Debug window... but scripts that have subscribed to the events its supposed to send out just aren't doing anything... I'm not sure if the PlayerInput component has stopped sending out the events, or if the problem is on the subscribers end... I've been trying solutions to this for hours and I'm stumped

#

I made a test that that just subscribes and debug logs, on the same GameObject as the PlayerInput component, and even that stops working after the reset

# 
public class PlayerInputEventTest : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] PlayerInput testInput;
    private void Awake()
    {
        testInput.onControlsChanged += TestInput_onControlsChanged;
    }
    private void TestInput_onControlsChanged(PlayerInput obj)
    {
        Debug.Log("Test Input event log");
    }
    private void OnDisable()
    {
        Debug.Log("test input Obj disabled");
        testInput.onControlsChanged -= TestInput_onControlsChanged;
    }

you always need an input action. either that being an asset or a self constructed one from json

There's no code in Unity's InputSystem namespace that I can use to directly refer to a keyboard key?

no. that's exactly the point of the new system

also that would be the worst thing to use the new input system for. if you want that behaviour, use the legacy input manager

#

check you Control Schemes in the Input Action Asset, add both mouse and keyboard into a single scheme if you want them to be treated as one

rare summit
#

should this all be considered one controller

#

so the way this runs is..

#

it detects a click: spawns a player
it detects a keyboard input: it spawns another player
it detects any button (not joystick) from a controller: it spawns another player

dusky wharf
#

that's your actions, top left you have a drop down for control schemes, check what you have there

2: Why is "Background Behavior" missing from my Input System Package settings?

You might need to be on 2022 to use the latest version of input system

If I change versions it also shows 1.3.0 as being supported by 2019.4+

You can add package by name manually, it would probably work, I did this for 2021 to get version 1.3

I have a question regarding the new input system in general and what's the "ideal approach" to using this. For example inputting a Jump action by varying height based on how long it's held.

  1. Should we be using the Invoke Unity Events option or is there nothing worse with the default Send Messages?
  2. Is there something internal to the Input System that allows to track a "held" action as opposed to constantly checking frame by frame that it's still pressed?
  3. Any examples that demonstrate a recent implementation of this behavior for the new system? The example I found doesn't appear to handle a logical hold.

You can hook into all of those Disabled The Action is disabled and can't receive input. Waiting The Action is enabled and is actively waiting for input. Started The Input System has received input that started an Interaction with the Action. Performed An Interaction with the Action has been completed. Canceled An Interaction with the Action has been canceled.

Hello there 👋
I'm trying to achive a pretty complex input system (with the New Input)
the player controller is a TP and with AWSD I can control the character as usual, what I would like to achive is to play "dodge" animation on double-tap on AWSD too
dodge/roll ... you know what I mean.

mortal ridge
#

add an interaction

somber dirge
#

I guess I could count how many ms pass from the first tap to the second, to know if the user wand to move or dodge

mortal ridge
somber dirge
#

umm ... ok but then what?

#

when I double press the S the character turn to the camera direction

#

and then roll

mortal ridge
#

check which interaction was activated

somber dirge
#

I need to avoid that

#

is the Input Order relevant in the editor?

#

I could place the double-tap for first

i think it's relevant

Hello. I written a code for simple character moving. My character is for some reason going backwards even i am not holding "s". I think it is something with input cause i tryed following tutorial from brackeys too and everything was good but chaacter was automaticly going backwards. Can someone help please?

Anyway, debug is always the best solution to figure out what is going on.

I advise you to get into unity learn platform and put some time in there to learn what is doing what. Will make you rlife easier 🙂

bro i tryed script trough tutorial and it is still moving backwards please help @chrome walrus

#

literally it is fifth script

#

like i even tryed to download free movement asset from asset store and it is not working

chrome walrus
#

My point stands, I can't handguide you through that tutorial or any other basic stuff. You should learn super simple stuff first before going into youtube and do a tutorial about a fullgame. Learn how to debug to see, what your code is doing.

D :

somber dirge
#

each one respond based on the input event.

#

xD

# 
        {
            return phase == UnityEngine.InputSystem.InputActionPhase.Started;
        }```
#

for example, here you the InputActionPhase is used when the user Start Pushing the button

#

but you have also .Performed which means during, and so if you use it, it will works like a toggle, so once you push a button it will trigger your event without canceling.

hot gale
#

where do i change this?

somber dirge
#

and then there is .Canceled which means you move out your finger from the button

hot gale
#

I should do it in the movement script?

somber dirge
#

did you write your own code? 🤔

hot gale
#

yea

somber dirge
#

You should know where it is xD

hot gale
#

i dont use it

somber dirge
#

keys.Player.Movement.performed += i => moveDirection = i.ReadValue<Vector2>();

this is a typical Input System subscripton

#

in that case it read a value, but it could be also like...

but i dont have this in my script

#

keys.Player.Lock.started += i => lockInput = true;

How would you go about detecting a "Smash", that is, moving a joystick very quickly in a direction very hard? Is there a processor or anything you could do to determine a stick smash, or some sort of code you could do? I need a way to detect a smash separately from normal joystick so I'd need something that wouldn't read when:

  • moving the joystick slowly to maximum over several frames
  • Moving the joystick quickly but only halfway
  • Starting from a halfway position, then moving quickly to the edges

How might I go about programming something like this?

# mortal ridge I think a custom interaction would be a good fit

I didn't know that was a thing that could be done. It seems like that's what I want, but there is not much in terms of actual documentation for that feature, just a single blurb at the bottom of the Interactions page of the input system documentation. It mentions something about how custom interactions can store state, which I think I'd need to do for this, but it doesn't really mention when it gets reset ("he system might invoke the Reset() method to ask Interactions to reset to the local state at certain points." doesn't really give much information on that...)

Still, what would be a good way to go about this? Maybe starting a timer once the Vector2 is outside some deadzone, and if it reaches a value greater than some threshold within a frame, do the action? I'm not sure how I'd access time during this interval, I don't think Input Actions occur during the update loop...

Im trying to do "Right click + Drag" to orbit my camera, but im getting a boatload of errors in the console

unknown.png
#

how should this be set up to enable rightclick+drag?

austere grotto
#

first off the modifier would be the right click here, and second mosue position is not a "button"

#

"Button with one modifier" is not appropriate

surreal moth
austere grotto
#

like shift or ctrl

#

the actual input information you're interested in is the mouse position

#

so that would be the "button"

#

but it's not even a button really

#

it's more like an axis

#

so overall "button with one modifier" is just not appropriate for this

surreal moth
#

I see

#

Right click as a button, mouse movement as a pass-through delta?

unknown.png
#

Since delta will be the difference from the previous frame, I can track how much it moved and rotate accordingly, if I understand delta correctly, rather than its screen position

surreal moth
#

which is why I had it as button+mod before

austere grotto
#

why are you making it pass through?

#

just make it value

surreal moth
#

When I googled how to do this, the net said to make it pass through.

austere grotto
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

surreal moth
#

Either way, neither value nor pass through show up as events

austere grotto
#

did you save the asset

surreal moth
#

Ah Autosave got unchecked, I didnt save it

watching this now to understand the difference between value and passthrough

#

ive logged all the values, nothing is wrong, yet it still moves too fast

why would the move vbelocity be so much higher ONLY on the first time the key is pressed?

According to the documentation for custom input interactions:
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.0/manual/Interactions.html#writing-custom-interactions

Now, you need to tell the Input System about your Interaction. Call this method in your initialization code:

InputSystem.RegisterInteraction<MyWiggleInteraction>();

...what Initialization Code? Does this mean when I'm subscribing to events? It's supposed to be available in the asset editor I believe, so where would I put this code?

#

I made an Editor script with [InitializeOnLoad] and now it seems to be working. I guess this is what it was supposed to be?

Okay, I have a custom interaction that mostly works for detecting a stick smash:
http://pastie.org/p/2Wv2l5tsWW9L9uyInbRoVi

I have two issues with it:

  1. Once a Smash starts, it keeps going until you let go of the stick and it gets canceled. I want this to behave like a button, where the performed action happens once and then not until you do the interaction again. How would I make an interaction like this? Do I just need to cancel it right after I perform it?
  2. I am using my own sort of timer system for detecting how fast you move the joystick because no matter what I try, the timeout functions don't seem to do what I expect. If anyone knows how I could convert that into the SetTimeout properly I'd like to know.

#

If you want to go this route, I suggest to ditch out the generated-class and implement it your own via InputSystem.onEvent

blissful comet
#

I will probably be having a frame-based input buffer separately from the interactions, to be used for both buffering and recording, I just want this event to fire when you smash the joystick very quickly to max, rather than slowly moving it forward

indigo patrol
#

I made a typing-game library for Unity so the detecting must be super fast for each button presses and noticed that there's too much overhead with the generated-class, but Inputystem.onEvent provides me with almost raw input performance

indigo patrol
#

just saying, must be a bit overkill for your use case

indigo patrol
#

Just an extra, if your game is an online multiplayer that implements a rollback mechanic, input-buffer is a must... which I rarely seen this used in indie games made with Unity

I'm trying to do mouse-look or gamepad look based on input device in a kinda twinstick shooter setting.
I have a solution that works, but i'm not really happy with the string comparison.

private void Look_performed(UnityEngine.InputSystem.InputAction.CallbackContext obj)
{
    var value = obj.ReadValue<Vector2>();

    if (obj.control.device.name == "Mouse")
    {
        var worldPoint = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(value);
        var dir = worldPoint - transform.position;
        dir.Normalize();
        lookInput = dir;
    }
    else
    {
        lookInput = value;
    }
}

The input binding is set up to either read the right stick or the mouse position.
Anyone know of a better solution to this that doesn't add unreasonable amounts of complexity?

Trying to think theoretically at how to reduce input lag to the minimum. The use case is a bit unique (fighting game, game tick locked to 60fps, no frame interpolation). The best I've been able to come up with is:

  • maxQueuedFrames should be 1
  • Snag the inputs right before you need them.
  • Make sure everything runs fast, prioritizing latency over graphics and removing post-processing.

Things I'm not sure how to do on Unity on Windows:

  • Delay the Update()+rendering to complete closer to the vsync so the frames being swapped to the front are fresher.

It doesn't inherit from component, so no, it's just a normal class. No idea why you can't find it though

Hi Im currently trying to write a script that will export my inputs to a JSON file and Import them from the same JSON file if one exists (I plan to write a small program that will let you edit the keybindings from outside the game)

This is the script I currently have

using System.IO;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.InputSystem;

public class InputToJSON : MonoBehaviour
{
    public InputActionAsset inputAction;
 
    void Awake()
    {
        if (!File.Exists(Application.dataPath + "/Test/Rebinds.txt"))
        {
            inputAction.RemoveAllBindingOverrides();

            var rebinds = inputAction.ToJson();
            File.WriteAllText(Application.dataPath + "/Test/Rebinds.txt", rebinds);

            Debug.Log("Binds Reset");

        } else
        {
            inputAction.Disable();
            string rebinds = File.ReadAllText(Application.dataPath + "/Test/Rebinds.txt");

            // inputAction.LoadFromJson(rebinds);

            inputAction.LoadBindingOverridesFromJson(rebinds);

            inputAction.Enable();

            Debug.Log("Binds Loaded");
        }
    }
}

The saving works as expected however when I try to load the bindings nothing changes, Unless I uncomment the LoadFromJson, However when that is uncommented no inputs work but after I recomment it and run again it works and updates the bindings

#

Im not sure what to do from there

I'm having trouble with a few scripts. Two different scripts have input system objects that need to be active at the same time. Does this cause issues? or can two different maps be active at the same time? If not, I might just have an external script handle all input and just send the data to the scripts I need them at.

#

The reason I have two separate ones is because I want to do different things to the aim input depending on the device, but I wouldn't be surprised if that had a simpler solution
