It's like this: if I press to move and the flag is false, the player won't move. If I keep it pressed and the flag is set to true (with the Move key pressed), the method isn't called, it'll only be called if I press it again... Would there be a way to subscribe ir so it's called WHILE the move key is pressed, not only WHEN I press it? Sorry about the confusion...

brave gyro
#

i'd make key down set on=true and key up set on=false. then if(on) move();

#

basically remember the key is down between frames.

#

really, it doesn't have a way to query the state of keys ?

paper tusk
#

Sounds like a good solution... I'll try it out, thanks!

molten nest
#

oddly enough their snippet doesn't work. InputAction has no definition for onPerformed

#

ill just use the unity default definition for now

brave gyro
#

it might be perform? they have something like start, cancel, and perform. i'm new, I haven't memorized each state.

ok!

I'm trying to understand from InputAction.CallbackContext context how i get the cursor position on the screen.

I have a few errors from these codes can yall tell me whats wrong

#

Is it normal for an input event be called twice when the input is triggered?

terse fjord
#

idk

paper tusk
#

This "context" log is getting called twice if I press the Jump key (all of them are doing that, so I'm not sure if I did something wrong...)

#

So I get 4 logs, two for 'Performed' and two for 'Canceled'

I cant understand this, probably because im new to Unity

Move lines 25 to 29 so they're after line 23 (and remove line 30)

or remove line 24. same thing.

 private void Awake() {
        playerActionControls = new PlayerActionControls();
   playerActionControls.Player.Move.performed += ctx => movementPressed = relativeMovement != 
        Vector3.zero;
}
    private void Update() {
        movementInput = playerActionControls.Player.Move.ReadValue<Vector2>();
}
#

i have a problem when i use a keyboard and press only one button of the movement keys the player doesn't move but when i press two of the movement keys at the same time he moves and then he keeps moving even with one key pressed

#

so its a problem only at the start before he starts moving

#

i don't have this issue with a controller

coral lynx
#

Why InputAction can only be used to press and release keys
I can't keep pressing the key and keep firing the event
This problem comes from the most basic and has been pressing the button to achieve movement

#

GetInput.Player.Move.performed += OnMove;

#

I kept pressing the key and it only responded once so my code like this

shut dew
#

i need to make an up slash in my game and i want the input to be left button (on mouse) and w (on keyboard) but how do i code it so you need to press both to perform that action?

#

using new input system btw

Continuous input like movement is best handled by polling. Events are better suited for things like button presses

Yo, I'm trying to make a multiplayer game with the input system, but when a new player is spawned, they are controlled with all devices (So for example, with one player already spawned via controller A, if i use controller B to spawn another player, both players are controlled by controller A AND controller B.) How can I fix this?

austere grotto
white quest
austere grotto
#

Someone last week asked the same question and it turned ou they were not actually using the PlayerInput component, they were using the generated C# class which they conveniently named "PlayerInput"

white quest
#

ain't got them mixed up

unknown.png
austere grotto
#

you're using thie PlayerControls object to handle your input

#

that is not using the PlayerInput component

#

if you want it to work properly you have to actually use the PlayerInput component to handle input

#

PlayerControls is your generated C# class

white quest
#

huh. I've been pulling my hair out at this. How can I use the PlayerInput instead then, may I ask?

austere grotto
wise igloo
#

Does anyone else get this issue with the input system. Basically the returned value of this input in this code never resets to 0.
It just keeps the last value it got from the input.

unknown.png
austere grotto
#

for look and move I recommend simply polling in Update instead

#

much simpler

# 
void Update() {
  input_Look = playerInputActions.Player.Look.ReadValue<Vector2>();
}```
#

alternatively you can keep your current setup and switch the action to a Pass Through

#

or subscribe to canceled

#

three options for ya

wise igloo
#

Ah ok, so I'll have to subscribe to each event manually to have each stage updated.
Started
Performed
Canceled

It's weird because I've seen similar code reset for others without the canceled event being called.

I've tried the update method as well but for some reason it doesn't update constantly it always hitches unless I move my mouse very slowly then it updates but still hitch.

austere grotto
wise igloo
# austere grotto I gave you three options. Two of them don't involve subscribing to canceled. Hit...

Yea, something might be wrong system wide for me then. I've tried this code in a few new projects and it's the same result.
It's just that one script attached to a game object in the scene and while watching the values in the inspector.
I can see it hitching both when I subscribed to the canceled event, go directly through update, or switch the action to Pass Through as you mentioned.

Thanks for replying and providing a few solutions.
I'm not necessarily sure what's wrong but that's why I wanted to know if anyone else was having this issue.

austere grotto
#

the editor is generally prone to performance hitches in general

#

it could just be that

#

a particluarly long frame will result in a frame with larger mouse input values, which is good and expected

sly frost
#

How Can I Convert Input.GetAxis to Input.GetKey ?

austere grotto
#

Maybe just explain what you're trying to do

#

it depends on what you actually want.

sly frost
austere grotto
#

You can already assign any keys you want in the input manager

#

unless you mean to assign them at runtime

sly frost
#

I am Using Old Input Manager so

austere grotto
#

Obviously

#

input manager is only a thing in the old system

sly frost
#

Like i want to Change it On RunTime

austere grotto
#

Ok that's what I asked

sly frost
austere grotto
#

Your options are:

  • Use the old input system as you are. You'll need to change your code to have separate handling for left and right and up and down instead of one thing for the axis. You'll also need to replicate the "gravity" part of Input.GetAxis.
  • Use the new input system which supports runtime rebinding. This will require a bit of a learning curve because the new system is not that beginner friendly.
  • Use ReWired which is a paid asset.
sly frost
#

How Can i go with the first option any examples

sly frost

wise igloo
#

I tried another new project and the input worked fine. Also tested it with a basic camera controller and everything's fine, no hitching.
I moved the code back to the old project and got the same issues.
No clue what's causing it but it seems I'll have to move to a new project.

Hi, I have a project that was working normally but for some reason it started lagging when I move my cursor around.
I've tried disabling all the things in my scene and it didn't solve the issue, has someone experienced this other than me?
Also here is the screenshot from profiler:

can i Mouse.leftButton.ReadValue() to get the pressed state?

#

Enenra do you have a git commit from just before the problem started?

I was working on another script but I disabled it as well as all the other scripts but that didn't solve the problem

#

ok, well... lesson for next time.

Anyone have any experience creating custom devices and using QueueDeltaStateEvent for partial state updates?

Guys, is it normal for an input event be called twice when the input is triggered? This "context" log is getting called twice if I press the Jump key (all of them are doing that, so I'm not sure if I did something wrong...)

spark pumice
#

and it will trigger a third time when the button is released with context.canceled = true

#

oh, wait, I just looked at your whole screenshot rather than just the line with the red box. It seems weird that Jump.performed would trigger twice... hmmm....

Hey, is there any neat trick to restore all input actions' state after disabling all of them? I want to have a cheat console and type there freely without performing any gameplay input actions and then re-enable all of the previous input after closing the cheat console. I know I can enable specific input maps but I wonder if Input System can somehow store its state and then read it to enable proper actions so I don't have to check what maps and actions were enabled at the time of disabling them. Thanks.

frail tendon
#

For the new Input Sytem, how do you differentiate between .performed and .canceled when you have it set to SendMessages?

It passes through an InputValue, but what can I do with that to get the .performed and .canceled from it?

austere grotto
#

You don't. It just sends a message for everything

#

You can't tell if it's performed or cancelled

#

If you want to differentiate that you would use one of the other modes

frail tendon
#

so there's no way to detect a buttonUp with sendmessages?

austere grotto
#

I guess look for a zero value? SendMessages is like the dinky prototyping mode

frail tendon
#

ah ok

#

ill just switch it to events then

this is a far shot, but any idea why my Quest 2 VR controller connected through Virtual Desktop will not show "primarybutton" and "secondarybutton" actions? the "primary/secondarytouched " actions work, as do other actions such as grip and trigger. this is unity 2021.3.3f1 but it was also broken in 2020. menu accessed from Window->Analysis->Input Debugger.

unknown.png
#

this just started happening after not touching the project for a month, before that it worked

#

by "not show X actions" I mean that I press the physical button but the value in unity doesn't change from a 0 to a 1 as it does for other actions

jagged wyvern
#

I have an action map for gameplay and UI
should both be active at the same time?

#

seems like a lot of trouble to enable and reenable maps whenever I implement a UI feature

toxic pawn
#

they CAN both be active, just depends on what behavior you want the game to have

#

doesn't ui often do input handling above the map level -- and it only trickles down to the gameplay which uses maps if it wasn't already consumed (like by a modal popup)

#

idk how much of that applies to unity

jagged wyvern
#

idk

working with the new input system is so consusing

I have implemented camera controller using new input system for touch input and I want to implement it for keyboard/mouse input as well. Keyboard/mouse input actions are different from touch system completely. I cannot define one input action with different binding for them.
What is your suggestion? Define separate input control for each or action maps to handle keyboard/mouse and touch inputs?

CameraInputControl
  Movement_Touch (ActionMap)
  Movement_Keyboard_Mouse (ActionMap)
  //...

CameraInputControl_Touch

I'm currently using rewired as my input system manager but for whatever reason all of a sudden it isn't detecting inputs for my pro controller over bluetooth. Any ideas what might be causing this? It was working fine like a week ago but I tried testing it on the same project a week later and the button presses aren't being detected. I can post a link to my repository if it's helpful.

Hi, I'm trying to disable an Action Map when the game is paused but some of the bindings are still being triggered while the game is paused and the Action Map is disabled. Don't know if I'm doing something wrong.

On PauseController.cs, I Disable() player movement and opening a map. The player can't move but I can still trigger opening the map.
_inputManager.InputActions.Player.Disable();

On MapController.cs I check if the map is available and if the player has pressed the binded key.
if (_isMapInteractable && _inputManager.InputActions.Player.ToggleMap.triggered)

I would expect the ToggleMap binding to get ignored if the Player's bindings are disabled but they aren't. There is a binding for player movement that is getting disabled and debugging it returns Player.Move.enabled: False, whereas ToggleMap is always "true". They are both part of the same action map I'm disabling so I'm so confused. I'd really appreciate any help.

zealous quail
#

I have no clue, but some thoughts, are you generating a c# class? Could that be not-updated maybe?

#

and are you disabling when receiving an input from ToggleMap I'm guessing, right? could it be that you're trying to disable while an input is ongoing or something? What happens if you delay the disabling a frame or till next update?

pearl fractal
#

I'll check if there's something wrong with the c# class.

I'm disabling the whole InputActions.Player action map when I press the InputActions.GameState.Pause on another MonoBehaviour but I don't see how they could conflict. At least I have a clue that InputActions.Player.Move is disabling correctly.

I'll check if working around the frame cycle works.

#

Thank you!

# pearl fractal I'll check if there's something wrong with the c# class. I'm disabling the whol...

I've been cleaning up some old files that I thought could be the issue but still not working as expected. What I have noticed is that only the MapController.cs MonoBehaviour is returning Player.ToggleMap.enabled: True while other scripts with the same reference to the InputManager.cs are returning Player.ToggleMap.enabled: False after disabling.

I'm doing a simple FindObjectOfType<InputManager>() (where I've got the InputActions) so I don't see why one script would show no change while another does show the values toggling.

Hey everyone, I have a problem, I am making a game with 2d movement and I am using the input system. When I run it on my computer it works, but when I build it for my iPhone, the ui buttons suddenly stop working. Is anyone else having this problem?

Hello. I'm using the new input system and am implementing control rebinding. I'm able to detect whether a binding "conflicts" with another binding. I've thought of two ways to handle this - one way is two immediately swap the two bindings OR show the other (conflicting) binding as "empty" to the user. Other than Enabling or Disabling actions, is there a way to assign "null" to a binding or set the override path to point to an empty binding? (do reply to this post so I get the notification from discord)

Hi Everyone, Im not sure if anyone can help but Im missing the active input handling option in project settings -> Player then under the configuration section. I upgraded unity to 2021.3.3f1 and its still missing. If I make a new project its there. it seems to have been removed from the projects settings menu configuration section entirely. The new input system is installed also and working, just have no way of changing to old, new input or both options anymore.

# elfin haven

Im guessing that you can take the new project (project files) and add it into the current project files and it will probably ask you to rewrite or write over the existing and you can just cancel.

Hey guys! I got a question as well. Unity tells me: 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.

I understand what it means, but is there a different new way to check if the mouse is on a UI element?

i mean youve switched to a different input handling style but taken a big step backwards in terms of your code actually doing anything

is it good or bad ?

#

Is it bad practice to put the Player Input component on multiple game objects within one scene?

#

For example, if I want to have the player be able to interact with an object check for input via the Player Input component rather than having an event sent from the player to the object.

Or how can I implement WasPressedThisFrame into the code?

In update method

So I've got a good amount of experience using the new input system on Windows, but I'm working on some new touch controls so I can port one of my desktop projects to mobile. But absolutely none of my touch controls are getting any response when i build to mobile, even stuff that I'm 100% sure works correctly on Windows. Anyone else had this problem? It's a fresh Unity project but with the input actions and scripts copied from another project. Editor version is 2020.3.21f1 and the input system is version 1.0.2

@solar sorrel

#

the player isnot jumping

solar sorrel
#

jumpHeight might be too small

#

You’re multiplying the jumpHeight by a really small decimal (time.deltaTime) so the product could be super duper tiny and unnoticeable

#

Also I began unity two weeks ago and I’m probably not the best person to ask 😅

#

Hope it helps though

austere grotto
#

also log jumpHeight of course

bitter topaz
#

how

austere grotto
#

you need to gather more information basically

#

Debug.Log

bitter topaz
#

where is it

austere grotto
#

where is what

bitter topaz
#

i didnt find it

bitter topaz
austere grotto
#

Not sure what you mean by "where is it?"

bitter topaz
#

I think that im stupid

#

ahaaaa

#

i got it

#

@austere grotto?

austere grotto
#

?

bitter topaz
austere grotto
#

What am I supposed to do with that

bitter topaz
#

idk

#

u asked for it

austere grotto
#

Maybe explain what you've done

bitter topaz
austere grotto
#

Where in that screenshot is it telling me if the ground check is working

bitter topaz
#

i dont understand

austere grotto
#

We are trying to figure out if your ground check is working

#

You need to log information that tells us if it is or not

bitter topaz
#

i logged it

austere grotto
#

Something like: $"Is touching ground: {isgrounded}"

bitter topaz
#

and that what i got

austere grotto
#

this is not useful information

bitter topaz
shut dew
#

i lose my references when i destroy and instantiate an object how do i fix that

austere grotto
# bitter topaz

ok now keep logging that and see if it matches what's happening in the game

#

it should say true whne you're touching the ground

#

if it doesn't, the grounded check is not working right.

#

also make sure "Collapse" is not turned on in your console window

bitter topaz
austere grotto
shut dew
#

is there any way you can keep references when you destroy and then instantiate an object

austere grotto
#

Is the ground check in the right position?
Is the layer mask correct?
Is the ground's layer correct?

austere grotto
#

they are not the same object anymore there's nothing to "keep"

bitter topaz
#

know what

#

my brain is hurting

#

i wont make it able to jump

shut dew
austere grotto
#

reassign your reference to the new object?

shut dew
#

but i cant really do that in the middle of the game

austere grotto
#

why not

#

myReference = theNewObject;

shut dew
#

because i have a lot of enemies who needs the reference

#

run that in update?

austere grotto
#

of course not

#

run that when you spawn the new object

#

or:

  • use a singleton
  • Use an event that the enemies listen to
shut dew
#

I instantiate multible times so can i make a prefab and make that the new object

austere grotto
#

how are you having your enemies get the reference in the first place?

shut dew
#

Public transform Player;

solar sorrel
austere grotto
shut dew
shut dew
austere grotto
#

via making the player a singleton, or a FindWithTag or something

shut dew
#

I have a player tag on him

austere grotto
#

then you can just do that same method of discovery when they find that hte player is null (when it was destroyed)

austere grotto
shut dew
#

Alright so make a transform variable and then do find with tag in the start Function?

solar sorrel
#

Is there an event for each time the Input is updated?

gleaming oar
#

that's how the new input system works

#

you subscribe to the .onperformed events and it will fire off every time that input changes

austere oar
#

My current game has the “player” re spawn when they die (their dead bodies stay around in the world (isDead bool activates and they done move anymore). In the editor this works fine, new one spawns and I can move around. But when I build to WebGL, the newly spawned characters won’t respond to controls. Using the new input system.
anything obvious as a reason for this to anyone?

austere grotto

#

I'm really not sure why it's not detecting my clicks. Any ideas?```cs
private void OnEnable()
{
shoot = inputActions.Powers.Fireball;
shoot.performed += fireball;
shoot.Enable();
}

private void fireball(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
{
    Debug.Log("Fireball!");
}```
austere grotto
clever kayak
austere grotto
#

also show the Fireball configuration

clever kayak
#

The interaction?

austere grotto
#

yes

#

you don't need it

clever kayak
#

This is the fireball

unknown.png
austere grotto
#

get rid of the interaction there too

#

(as per the note)

clever kayak
#

It's still not detecting my clicks

austere grotto
#

Is your OnEnable code running? Verify with a log statement.

#

Do you have any errors in console?

clever kayak
#

Omg... I forgot to attach the script to anything 🤦

#

Now it works just fine

clever kayak
#

Ok so with the new input system, can I do the same as with the old one if I want to find where on the screen the player clicked?

gleaming oar
#

yeah the mouse click usually reads as a vector2 for the x and y

clever kayak
#

Ok Thanks :D

solar sorrel
#

I'm trying to subscribe a certain function to the onActionTrigger() event for the PlayerInput class but I don't see it as a function of the PlayerInput class

austere grotto
# solar sorrel

You're mixing up your generated C# class or your own custom script with the PlayerInput component from input system

#

I think the latter

solar sorrel
#

there's a class called "PlayerInputController" but no PlayerInput..

#

Ahh it's a struct inside the PlayerInputController named PlayerInput

#

I never generated a class though, weird...

mellow plume
#

I'm currently working on split screen local multiplayer, and one issue I've come across is the "correct" way to filter out which device to receive input from for each player. I need to specifically use the generated C# file, not the PlayerInput component. Any ideas?

austere grotto
#

For all other purposes I recommend against PlayerInput but for local multiplayer it's the best.

blissful bridge
#

IPointerExitHandler, IPointerClickHandler and other similar interfaces stopped working after upgrading from 2020.3.25f1 to 2021.3.3f1. Are they discontinued or am I missing something?

austere grotto
#

double check that you still have an event system, you still have a graphic raycaster, and that nothing is blocking the object

blissful bridge
#

Event system updates its "selected item" field when I click on them.

#

Also corresponding unity events work fine, so I doubt it's related to the setup.

austere grotto
#

show the code?

humble sky
#

When someone gets the chance, I have in the player the option to choose which input system i want to use, i set it to both but my problem is that parts of my game that use the old system dont work eventhough it is set to use both

austere grotto
#

how do you know they're not working. What are you expecting the code to do and what is it doing instead?

#

Are there errors?

humble sky
#

when i press the pause button for example it does nothing but moving which uses the new system works just fine

#

and no there are no errors

#

it just dosent do anything

#

also every time i add an actoin to the input action it dosent work even if i have it generate a new script the only thing ive done to get around it is to delete both remake everything and generate the script which is tedious for adding anything to the input thats why ive kept both

tame oracle
#

I forgot the keyword when adding to an event. do we call it "add" or "register"?

#

Event += MyFunc;

humble sky
#

i did some testing and discovered that it is not getting the axis

for example (this is my pausing that isnt working)

if (Input.GetButtonDown("Pause"))
        {
            if (gM.isGameOver == false)
            {
                isGamePaused = !isGamePaused;
                Pause();
            }
        }

i put a debug in and found that it didnt log the message so i think it is not getting the axis

austere grotto
tame oracle
austere grotto
humble sky
austere grotto
#

And can you show your Pause axis in the input manager>?

humble sky
#

the log did nothing

#

and it was all working before i installed the new system

austere grotto
#

can you show the code?

#

ideally the whole script

humble sky
#

ok one sec

#

also the other Input.GetAxis are broke too

austere grotto
#

if you have no log outside the if statement then your Update is just not running

#

it's not an input problem

humble sky
#

mu update runs

#

if not then movement wouldent work which it does work

austere grotto
#

Either Update in this script isn't running
Or there's an error happening
Or you've done somethign with your console window to confuse yourself

#

like put a search term in it

humble sky
#

its in the if (Input.GetButtonDown("Pause"))

#

so i conclude its not getting the axis for some reason

#

also in player the input is set to both

austere grotto
austere grotto
humble sky
#

i thought u ment if (gM.isGameOver == false)

austere grotto
#

I just wanted to see if Update was running

humble sky
#

well ill just mess with it more

#

my laptop is wack

#

most of my problems are bc of it

#

and they require a wack solution

#

ill fix it eventually wuth enough time

tame oracle
#

how can I check if a key is just pressed, or is held down? Example: I only want an event when a key is just pressed .x secs ago, or I want the event to occur every update frame while the key is being held down.

#

how do I do Input.GetKey() and Input.GetKeyDown()

white shard
#

Is there a standard way to make an input do two things with Unity's input system? For instance, I want left click to be how the player both moves and gathers things. Do I just need to do a raycast on my gatherable items to see if the mouse is hovering the gatherables when the left click event is fired?

mortal ridge
#

of course

sand tide
#

Been using unity for ages but never jumped into input land. When it comes to canvas buttons, how do they 'know' I'm left clicking on them? Is this hard coded, or could I switch the 'left click' input to be the 'a' key?

austere grotto
#

That will define which input axes / input actions (depending on which input system you're using) trigger the UI actions

sand tide
#

Ah, I see that object now. Thanks!

Hey all I'm super new to unity and c# in general so I'm sorry if this is a dumb question.

I've seen several people use something like

defaultInput.Character.InteractPressed.performed += e => InteractisPressed();

But I've equally seen people using something like defaulatInput.Character.InteractPressed.performed += InteractisPressed;

They seem to behave slightly differently but I see both being used and not once have I seen someone explain why they used their method over the other

#

What are the pros/cons two these to methods (unless one is just flat out wrong, in which case please inform me)

austere grotto
#

Or because they think lambdas are cool or clean looking

#

Or they just saw that example somewhere and don't know any better

mortal ridge
#

no. people use the first one because they do not need access to the input context.
and the correct way to write it would be defaultInput.Character.InteractPressed.performed += _ => InteractIsPressed();

winter basin

I have created a custom clamp2d. It is OK but now, I cannot see it in the list
and in an example in unity doc

#if UNITY_EDITOR
        static Clamp2DInputProcessor()
        {
            Initialize();
        }
#endif

        [RuntimeInitializeOnLoadMethod]
        static void Initialize()
        {
            InputSystem.RegisterProcessor<Clamp2DInputProcessor>();
        }

What does it mean? It uses editor preprocessor to call static ctor only in editor but when I run it in the editor, Initialize method executes directly without calling static ctor

I have a PlayerInput component on a game object and I want to respond to a mouse button being clicked and when it's released. I have an action map set up, and I have an OnUserAction method being triggered via event broadcast from the PlayerInput component, but I don't know how to identify if it's triggering from a press or a release.

#

The event signature has no arguments.

#

Ahh never mind it's only executing on press at the moment.

#

So I suppose what I am trying to find out is how to detect the input from the button being pressed as well as the release.

#

Sorted this out, needed to look into interactions on input actions.

#

And have an InputValue argument so I could query the state in at the time of the action being triggered.

Is there a simple way to read a button press like you can with a Vector 2 input?
ReadValue<Vector2>()

hard pulsar
#

example: Mouse.current.leftButton.wasPressedThisFrame

is there something similar to this when the mouse button is held? Ping me if you know

bleak hound
#

Using the new imput system how can I detect mouse scroll up or down? I cannot bind it in any way

#

Also most of the online solutions seems already obsolete since Unity staff said 1 month ago they were changing it

hard pulsar
#

have you tried experimenting with making it a value type? i would see if scroll wheeling returns a value like 1, -1. if it doesnt, i wouldnt know

bleak hound
#

The only thing that work for now is | Value - Vector 2 - Scroll [Mouse] | but then I have to extract the direction via code, as far as I read they were implementing direction reading already in the actions so I can directly trigger an event only when wheel goes down.

hard pulsar
#

if thats works then thats better than nothing tbh

a short while after I press play my project stops accepting input for a few seconds, it's happened across multiple projects in different unity versions, Is it a bug with the input system?

tacit igloo
#

Idk if its a problem with the new input system or not but as you can see in the console, i pressed the options buttons 5 times and could open it 2 times.
I'm using the Player Input by using his behaviour set on "send messages" by code.
How is it even possible ? I tried with the Event Trigger but also the Button On Click () method and nothing worked correctly
BUT its working when i use the Pointer Click or my mouse

Hi! i got this code for my game :: if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.X))
which works but, i need the inputsystem version of it. Which is a reference to an input system button from another script,
how do i do that?

timid blaze
#

if (InputAction.(ButtonInteract.triggered))

#

this also doesnt work for example

#

i really dont understand how to call it

zinc stump
#

new input system in the Package Manager has examples you can import and see how it works. There are three different ways shown there

timid blaze
#

ill ask somewhere else, its not in there, gotta spend 8 hours again looking for something someone could tell me in 10 seconds.

zinc stump
#

Documentation is in the pins as well. It's not 10 seconds you need to understand how to set it up and use it

timid blaze
#

but its already set up, it already works. i just dont know how it works when referencing it in within another script

#

if (ButtonInteract.triggered); does it already, but it doesnt work like that in another script outside that class

#

probably dont even need a reference since i can use using UnityEngine.InputSystem;
but still it does not work

hey guys im trying to make this thing work but it doesnt work at all
i have just a 2d vector WASD in playerinput
and this is my code

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.InputSystem;

public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    private Controls control;
    public Rigidbody rb;
    private Vector2 movement;
    public float movementSpeed = 5f;

    private void Awake()
    {
        control = new Controls();
    }

    private void onEnable()
    {
        control.Enable();
    }

    private void onDisable()
    {
        control.Disable();
    }

    private void Update()
    {
        movement = control.Player.Movement.ReadValue<Vector2>();
    }

    private void FixedUpdate()
    {
        rb.velocity = new Vector2(movement.x * movementSpeed, movement.y * movementSpeed);
    }
}

the controls is the inputaction that i created and it has only WASD 2d vector
am i doing something wrong

glass yacht
#

onEnable and onDisable do not exist

shy reef
#

what should i do instead?

glass yacht
#

Use the real methods

shy reef
#

like?

#

what

glass yacht
#

have you tried googling onEnable and onDisable and looking at how you actually write them

shy reef
#

every goddam youtube videos has onEnable and onDisable thing which didnt work
that why im here asking

glass yacht
#

They do not, no youtube video will have onEnable and onDisable

Anyone have any idea why my input system code is working fine in the editor but returns zero response when built to Android? I've asked here before but got zero responses, so is there something else I need to include?
I'm using version 2020.3.21f1 and my input system package is 1.0.2

Is it intended behaviour that an InputAction that is referenced in multiple different scripts e.g. via InputActionReferences has to be enabled separately in each script?

[Quick Question]
When using WASD-keaboard input with the new input system and i press W and A or S and D together it delivers (-0.71 , 0.71) and (0.71 , -0.71) . Shouldnt that be normalized? I know that (-0.5 , 0.5) is the same direction just smaller vector scale, but since just W delivers (0,1) i think that the input should be normalized or am i not seing something? Why did they do that?

Im making this input manager ( not sure if its something good to do ) But looks good to make things more clean?

My question is, how do i make my character move without update function?

jagged wyvern
#

If u use rigidbody just feed move vector to it

fallow vine
#

if i use

while(ctx.performed){
Vector2 inputVector = ctx.ReadValue<Vector2>();
// Event to send this value to my PlayerMovement script 
// Then PlayerMovement has a coroutine that moves according to the value 
}

Would that work? or maybe program would crash..

fallow vine
#

no?

jagged wyvern
#

Depends if on input value type

#

Pass through will always perform

fallow vine
#

I dont understand sorry

#

Is it a rigid body method?

jagged wyvern

fallow vine
#

Ok i cant test it yet but hope it will work

#

thx

#

now it doesnt shows there

unknown.png unknown.png
#

ye i dont get what he did

#

hes move function is private

#

and he doesnt calls it anywhere

fallow vine
#

Every tutorial i see they use either c sharp events or message thing. Should i use c sharp events instead of unity events?

#

But the problem is that i still dont know a way to make player move without handling input stuff on the player script

fallow vine
#

ok i think i found the solution pretty simple actually, i just thought this wouldnt work

Hi everyone, I'm new here and would like some help with an issue that I've been having. I setup the right stick in the input system (old Unity input system) and I'm trying to get the right stick of my gamepad to move a camera on the X axis but all it wants to do is spin the camera. How could I fix this?

hey guys, so im trying to work with the new input system, and i started off with the default 1st person controller project that unity provides, and im trying to add new inputs, but all of the inputs i add for some reason dont work the same way that the existing inputs work, even tho i copied the code for my new inputs from the existing inputs.

public void OnSprint(InputValue value)
        {
            SprintInput(value.isPressed);
        }
public void SprintInput(bool newSprintState)
        {
            sprint = newSprintState;
        }

these are the existing methods for inputs that actually work,

public void OnInteract(InputValue value)
        {
            InteractInput(value.isPressed);
        }
public void InteractInput(bool newInteractState)
        {
            interact = newInteractState;
        }

and these are the methods i copied and repurposed to my own inputs. the problem is once i press my interact button once, it sets the interact variable to true, but it never sets it back to false once i let go of the button. any ideas on whats happening? (i have added new input actions in my input action asset and initialized the interact variable, just to get that out of the way)

Hello everybody,
I have a problem that I cannot solve.
I have loaded all the scenes in "build settings" but when I start the game the maps do not come out.
the "MainMenu" and the scene to select the "character" exit without any problem. When I select the PG, it spawns in the void, the map is not there. Can someone help me?

#

Thks In advance

elder remnant
#

are there any tutorials on detecting which input device the player is currently using?

remote grail
#

probably a simple question but how do I make it so that when the joystick hits 1 on the x axis it does the movement part 1 time until the stick is back to 0 and then put back to 1

#

like i want it to be like a button where it acts as pressed if it hits 1

#

right now it repeats the block of code I have

#

and comparing it to the previous frame doesnt work

austere grotto
austere grotto
remote grail
#

I figured out a way of doing it but its prob not efficent

#

basically now when theres a bool value called zeroed and when the stick is at 0 for x value it will be true but when the stick hits 1 it sets it to false until its brought back to 0

austere grotto
#

Seems fine

#

Any good resources for figuring out gamepad-specific values for the input system. I'm trying to get a value that correlates with how far a trigger is pressed.

Inputaction callback context provides it

Depends on how your project is set up

Alternatively use player input component

I have an input system setup with "move' and 'jump' - I've got keyboard controls working fine, but adding dpad and controller buttons fails to move the player… Any guidance to getting the controller working would be greatly appreciated

what action type is move?

2D Vector - Mode Digital Normalised

jagged wyvern

is it value, button or passthrough

split thorn

Move is Value Vector 2 - WASD = 2D Vector/Digital Normalised / 2D Vector (should be renamed dpad 🙂 ) = 2D Vector/Digital Normalised

Let me rename the control schemes

Removing the two control schemes - fixed it…

#

Weird

jagged wyvern
#

cool

maybe u forgot to save before

No, I had to remove the two control schemes… that made both sets of controls work

Odd, kind of defeats the point of having two control schemes and setting the default to my gamepad setup…

I'll try again later…

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.0/manual/Gamepad.html

Note: Buttons are also full floating-point axes. For example, the left and right triggers can function as buttons as well as full floating-point axes.

So you just change your trigger mapping from Button type to Axis type and read it like you'd read any other axis. It'll give you 0-1 values (maybe -1 to 1?) depending on how pressed it is.

so how would i get a collider for the feet?

a hit box, and so my mans feet dont go thorugh the floor

so just make the capsule bigger?

the problem is that there is no legs, just feet. that would mean you could hit a empty area and it would register a hit

doesent a collider work like a hitbox. like if it was shot

#

oh

my bad

#

so it doesnt madder the shape of the capsule really

just for colliding with objects

Hey guys how can i port a project of opensourcd github to mobile? Like only the controls. It uses the new input system. I am just confused on how I can port a binding of pc to mobile/touch

sturdy oak
#

so I'm trying to figure out which type of input I am getting

#

and the only way I could figure out was using this janky method-

# 
        {
            Debug.Log(playerInput.Locomotion.Move.activeControl.device.displayName);

            switch (playerInput.Locomotion.Move.activeControl.device.displayName)
            {
                // PC and Consoles
                case "Keyboard":
                    ChangeInputType(InputType.PCAndConsole);
                    break;
                case "Gamepad":
                    ChangeInputType(InputType.PCAndConsole);
                    break;
                case "PlayStation Controller":
                    ChangeInputType(InputType.PCAndConsole);
                    break;
                case "Switch Pro Controller":
                    ChangeInputType(InputType.PCAndConsole);
                    break;
                case "Xbox Controller":
                    ChangeInputType(InputType.PCAndConsole);
                    break;

                // VR
                case "LeftHand XR Controller":
                    ChangeInputType(InputType.VR);
                    break;
                case "RightHand XR Controller":
                    ChangeInputType(InputType.VR);
                    break;
            }
        }```
#

and the thing is

#

it works, but it doesn't return "LeftHand/RightHand XR Controller", and instead returns the name of the Oculus Controller that I have

#

so, how should I go about this?

vocal fjord

#

I am

#

I just need to know what type of controller I'm getting input from

# 
            {

            }```
#

hopefully it works

#

#

I literally just need to get this value

and I can make it work using that

or the control scheme

#

Yeah but

#

For VR controllers

Not, LeftHand XR Controller

Hi! i'm really new to this input system, and i implemented my battle actions rn. I found this interface worth trying implementing, by myself:

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

public class PlayerController : Entity, PlayerInputs.IBattleActions {
    public static PlayerController Instance;
    public List<Chip> actualChips;
    public Chip BasicAttackChip;
    public Chip BasicDefenseChip;
    public new const EDirection FacingDirection = EDirection.Up;

    private void Awake() {
        Instance = this;
    }

    public void UseActualChip() {
        actualChips[0].ExecuteChip(ActualCase, FacingDirection);
    }

    public void OnMoveRight(InputAction.CallbackContext context) {
        Debug.Log(context);
        MoveToCase(ActualCase.RightCase);
    }

    public void OnMoveLeft(InputAction.CallbackContext context) {
        MoveToCase(ActualCase.LeftCase);
    }
}

Is this not how it works? Bc it seems like it's not doing anything lol

#

mouse delta is way too fast and sensitive. Any solutions people have found?

austere grotto
#

It's also possible you're doing something wrong in your code. One common mistake with mouse input is multiplying it by Time.deltaTime. That is unnecessary and in fact will add unpredictable jitter to the controls.

Hey there. So I need to implement local multiplayer. I have two cars with specific scripts and both have a PlayerInput Component and a script which checks for the input logic like for example this:
if (playerInput.actions["Accelerate"].IsPressed())

Now I have two controllers attached. But when I execute that action (pressing the button) both cars move, but that's exactly not what I want. Anything I missed to setup?

austere grotto
thorn ridge
#

As said, the cars have the PlayerInput Component attached.

#

I tried the PlayerInputManager already, but it did nothing

austere grotto
#

Right but are you spawning them via the PlayerInputManager?

#

That's the key

thorn ridge
#

No I'm not spawning them directly, I set the behaviour to "Join manually" bc the game is setup in a specific way (I'm porting the project)

#

but the InputManager recognizes the PlayerInputs at startup of the scene

austere grotto
#

I'm not an expert exactly on PlayerInputManager but it is typically the piece that handles all the assignment of different players to different input devices

#

if you're not using that you need to do that part yourself - not totally sure how it works

thorn ridge
#

Yeah, so I was told, that#s why I included it.

#

As you see in the Debug Section, it recognizes the PlayerInputs, I dont know exactly why it's numbering that way with #0 and #3 since I think it should be #0 and #1...

#

Does this mean they are joined?

tranquil knoll
austere grotto
#

show the code

#

And what happens instead?

tranquil knoll
#

I do this by having a Vector2, VirtualMousePos which starts at Vector2.zero and then the mouse delta using Input system just does
virtualMousePos += MouseDelta

austere grotto
#

Ok but we need more context. Where is this code running?

#

Can you just share the whole script

#

And maybe a video of what's happening?

tranquil knoll
#

Third direc Func is just a func name btw

#

and this is the problem. When I move the mouse even slightly, the delta sensitivity goes wild

unknown.png
austere grotto
#

Did you use Delta or Position

tranquil knoll
#

Delta

#

ill get a pic

austere grotto
#

Also how are you subscribing this function to the input action?

tranquil knoll
#

and UpdateMousePos just runs ThirdDirecFunc and then returns

#

and under the Binding properties are no Interactions or Processors

austere grotto
#

Can you remove the gamepad and joystick bindings for a minute

#

and also show the Look action itself

tranquil knoll
austere grotto
#

show the part on the right

#

the configuration of it

#

Also That looks different from the one above

#

but it looks good

TestLooking vs Look?

tranquil knoll
#

this is the binding for TestLooking

unknown.png
tranquil knoll
#

@austere grotto I guess the multiple bindings were throwing it off

unknown.png
austere grotto
#

they get kinda funky

#

you could also have have a joystick that was leaning against a keyboard or something?

tranquil knoll
#

nope, literally just me and my laptop

tranquil knoll
#

idk, its just that when I move my mouse in any direction, my VirtualMousePos moves towards bottom left of the screen

austere grotto
#

what's a (-,-) value

tranquil knoll
# austere grotto what's a (-,-) value

its weird to describe. When I debug.log MouseDelta, it shows support for all four quadrants, but I think that when I do VirtualMousePos += MouseDelta, MouseDelta for some reason acts like its in the negative, negative quadrant

it needs to be an Action<InputAction.CallbackContext>

Hello everyone,

I'm encounter an issue with the new InputSystem and the Controls Changed Events :
I have a scirpt to manage the character movement and I would like to notice the event thaht specified thaht the player is switching between Keyboard+Mouse to a Gamepad mainly for the control of rotation of the player (Mouse or Right Stick)

public void OnDeviceChange (PlayerInput pi)
{
isGamepad = pi.controlSchemes.Equals("Gamepad") ? true : false;

}

But in the Controls Changed Events I don't see my function "OnDeviceChange"

I'm using Unity 2021.0.2f1 and the input System 1.3.0

Can someone please help me ?

Hey ppl I have been migrating to the new input system and some of my code is based on "OnMouseDown", OnMouseDrag" and OnMouseUp", I have been looking around for a bit to find good ways to replace this. Because its all related to an Specific object that needs to be clicked on. How would i go about checking this with the new input system ?

ayo, so i'm creating a key rebinding system and after a bit of digging, it turns out that if i try to rebind an individual binding of a composite action, unity is going to throw an InvalidOperationException saying that its not possible. Is there truly no way for me to reassign a binding thats part of a composite action?

Without doing it manually in code ( i.e. Mouse.current.position.ReadValue()) is there a way to get the position in a InputAction.CallbackContext that was fired from a button press?

#

Ah. Never mind. I just switched it around. I made the mouse position the binding and the button the modifier.

I am fairly new here and this is confusing me cuz I don't have a mental map of where things go yet.

There is a pane of project settings such as the mapping of buttons and axes for the game controller. When I restart the sample game I am using (GameKit) it resets these assignments. Where would I look to find the actual main settings? I am using Cinemachine in this sample. I am trying to fix a bug where the sample is assigning the wrong axis to the game controller

austere grotto
#

"how to detect a key press" is a separate question

tame oracle
#

yea sorry just couldnt really figure out where to put it

pearl fractal
#

@austere grotto I just got around to reading what you shared and it's really useful. However, reading my question again I now think I wasn't clear enough.

#

I have a Quit button on my pause window that prompts another window to confirm if game should quit with a Cancel and Confirm button that are both triggered when triggering the Submit action (Enter key). When I press the enter key to quit the game the confirm prompt is triggered as well because the next button is also waiting for the Enter key to be pressed.

I managed to solve this by resetting the action when opening the new window but I'm not sure that's the cleanest solution:

private void ResetPromptWindow()
{
    _isConfirm = null;
    _inputManager.InputActions.UI.Submit.Reset();
    _inputManager.InputActions.UI.Cancel.Reset();
}

private void Update()
{
    if (_isConfirm != null) return;
    if (_inputManager.InputActions.UI.Submit.triggered)
    {
        // Edit: Deleted this check to avoid confirming when
        // pressing Enter while on Cancel button.
        Confirm();
    }
    if (_inputManager.InputActions.UI.Cancel.triggered)
    {
        Cancel();
    }
}

I think my main issue is not managing correctly the target of the input actions to the currently focused window because I'm also finding out just now that when I trigger the Cancel action (ESC key) the game resumes instead of just Cancelling the quit game prompt. I'd appreciate any tips or resources on this.

Alright, is there someone that might be able to help with the new Input System here? I've found a bug in the new Input System and I honestly have no idea how to get around it.

#

The main gist is that if I have 2 keys (doesn't matter which 2 keys) if you hold down the first key and then the 2nd key, if you lift up on the first key Unity never registers it and still thinks that you're pressing the key.

#

I've tried it with multiple keys, multiple actions types, multiple data types, anything and everything has this same behavior and it's a fairly basic behavior that occurs a lot in games. My example is movement, if I want to have walking and then hold shift to run, if the player ever stops holding the movement key while still holding shift they'll run forever.

stuck sable
#

And I can say, the only thing that works is that if the 2nd key is in a different action map then it's fine. So can a single action map only handle a single action at a time (seems silly no?)?

austere grotto
stuck sable
#

There's nothing to the code, its quite literally just an interface implementing the input actions and firing events. I found even weirder, it's just shift that's the issue...

austere grotto
#

there's something to the code, it may be important

#

"Unity never registers it and still thinks that you're pressing the key." - trying to figure out precisely what you mean by this

stuck sable
# 
public void OnRun(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
{
    RunEvent?.Invoke(context.phase);
}
#

Quite literally nothing

austere grotto
#

so what is Run and what is bound to it

stuck sable
#

Input Action

#

The class inherits from the Input Actions interface that's generated by InputActions, when you implement it and call .SetCallbacks it will fire your interface as the callbacks for the events registered in the Action maps.

#

Interestingly enough though, it only seems to be when you hold down shift Unity doesn't register any other key presses in play mode.

#

Ah

#

That's silly.

bright meteor
#

Is the input system purposefully designed to fire a cancel event if you have to concurrent inputs that are opposite of each other?

#

For example, If I press the w key and the s key at the same time or the left and right movement buttons at the same time. When I press both a cancel event is called even if I still have the button pressed

#

hey, does anyone have a way of taking an XRInput of trigger press and making it do a single action? Currently I'm using the left trigger press to spawn blocks, but since the trigger value is a bool and its in update method it spawns way too many blocks.

#

im thinking something like this, but make it only run BuildBlock once instead of every frame.

I'm completely new and been looking at various tutorials and guides, when it comes to 2D movement, some seem to use GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().AddForce(new Vector2(x * speed, y)) and others use GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().velocity = new Vector2(x * speed, y) - what's the actual difference between .. what i can see being the only difference .. using AddForce in this case vs not. Sorry if this is in the wrong section, if it is please let me know where to move it!

What's the "appropriate" way to navigate a menu with the new input system, like with the unity UI assets (buttons, boxes, etc.) all linked up for tab order? I'm trying to google how to do it, but basically everything i can find ends up pointing me at code using the old input system

frigid ridge
#

At the end of the day it's unlikely fundamentally any different, just collect the equivalent input from the new system.

Like, i want to add controller support, and its easier with the new input system, but can i even add controller support with the new system and use keyboard with the old system?

#

🤔

tame oracle
#

however, if you can't/don't want to, you can go to project settings and use both old and new input system

#

might take a performance hit, I've no idea.

#

yup, the new input system is designed to replace the old one. try to replace all of they keyboard stuff w/ new input if you can

#

otherwise, start your next project with the new input system. It isn't too hard to learn, I learned it all during a day's time in the middle of a game jam

I recommend samyam's tutorial on youtube

Cus i already have all my scripts with the old system

and i want to change to the new one, but i have no clue how/where to change my code ;/

and no clue what to change it to

Is it a really really bad thing to use the old input system then?
Or is it still fully usable ?

Good evening, running into an issue where holding the joystick in any position scales the input up to the maximum magnitude in the given direction. I’m using a callback on my InputAction to store the resulting Vector2 from the left stick input

private Vector2 move;

public void OnMove(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
    move = context.ReadValue<Vector2>()

Debugging the value of move here always looks correct - the Vector2 returned by ReadValue has the expected values.

Inside of an Update I read the private variable move and send it’s magnitude to my Animator. If I debug the value of move at the start of the Update function it’s already displaying the unwanted behavior of maxing out the input. So if I’m slightly tilting the stick forward it believes the Vector2 is (0, 1) even though the debug log in the OnMove callback is still showing the correct values. Note that it only happens when I'm holding it at a given position in the 2D vector space - when moving the stick the values are briefly correct until I've held the stick for too long in one spot.

I have tried using FixedUpdate instead of Update and I have made sure that my controller is working otherwise using the input debugger. I made sure I am not assigning to move anywhere outside of the OnMove callback. It's almost like the input is stacking on itself really quickly because I've noticed that the value of move.magnitude grows exponentially in my Update function despite looking 'correct' in the OnMove callback.

Is there something fundamental I’m missing here? Thank you for your time.

so i'm seeing a really weird issue with jumping and I really don't understand why.

The jump code i'm using: rb.velocity = new Vector2(rb.velocity.x, jumpHeight); (rb being a reference to rigidbody). I've also added a debug statement above, just printing out 'space pressed'.

When I add the above to Update() (my understanding is that using vector2 should be added here rather than FixedUpdate()), it does work.. kind of. I can see the debug statement being printed in the console every time I press space, but the actual jump only happens about 1/5 times.

I tried the same jump code block in FixedUpdate() just to see what happens. When I did this, i get similar behaviour, except this time the debug is also only printed at the time when the jump is successful vs every time space is pressed(note that the debug statement is before the actual jump code).

What am I doing wrong?

olive elm
#

big facepalm moment, i was using rb.position.y in movement, I changed it to rb.velocity.y and everything works perfectly - I'm not sure why this happens.. so i guess i'll need to do a little reading haha.
