i saw what u said

the vector and value thing

and the jump works the same?

[austere grotto]

jump?

[cloud anvil]

like,jumping

[austere grotto]

I don't know anything about the tutorial you're following.

[cloud anvil]

no like,making the bean jump

[austere grotto]

Yeah I understand you're talking about making your character jump. I can't tell you if it "works the same" because I have no idea how it works in your tutorial

Most likely it's fine

[cloud anvil]

with something similar to what u told me

i mean,looks the same

[inland quail]

Hey! I am using the new input system and I'm adding sprint to the character. what would the code be? triggered is well... just toggling

[cloud anvil]

how do u open it cause im too new to this,i dont even know how to open the script editor

[inland quail]

@cloud anvil https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRI44aYLDQs&t=6s

[cloud anvil]

thx

[fierce parrot]

.

[jagged wyvern]

No

[fierce parrot]

k thx

[jagged wyvern]

Its better in some ways

[cloud anvil]

what should i use,visual studio editor or code editor

in package manager i only got visual studio code editor and visual studio editor

[vast portal]

How does writing custom composites work? I don't understand the docs. https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.3/manual/ActionBindings.html#writing-custom-composites
It says create a a class based on InputBindingComposite<TValue>. How do I do so? Do I just copy the code provided into a new script called InputBindingComposite, and then edit that code?

[cloud anvil]

both seem to be the same

now that i look,both are in my project but still doesnt seem to open the code editor

ok nevermind

[vast portal]

Okay so I was able to do what I just described. However I do not know how to get my Custom Composite to actually show up as a drop-down option from the list of Input Bindings inside the InputActions Asset Window Nevermind. It did it automatically. I think as long as include using UnityEditor it should be fine.

[cloud anvil]

I can't figure this out

got any ideas?

it's simple enough for me to understand whats going on,but i cant figure the issue

ive used like 4y ago C++ so i know a bit about whats going on,but not enough

i tried sth else and now i got 7 errors 😂

[cloud anvil]

I didnt?

in wich line?

dont thell me that i had to write playerInput instead of PlayerInput

so the p is not caps

so i have to switch it with with what u wrote here,basically

and i guess that P instead of p makes a difference

makes sense

thanks for your help,ill deal with the issues tomorrow

[barren stump]

I am having a similar issue that mentioned by agent5 awhile ago, but I don't see if it was ever addressed #🖱️┃input-system message

it's like it's dropping tons of scroll inputs

mouse scroll works fine in any other context

It's also happening on 2 different mice

if I scroll somewhat slowly, it doesn't pick up any input at all

Action:

binding:

[ember anvil]

@barren stump How about something like this

[cloud anvil]

can someone explain wtf is going on here 😂

[ember anvil]

@cloud anvil Depends on what you're after :)
If it's how to screenshot: https://www.take-a-screenshot.org/
If it's how to handle movement, you're going to want to complete this tutorial: https://learn.unity.com/project/using-the-input-system-in-unity

[cloud anvil]

both,thank you very much 😂

ngl,i never got around to learning how to screenshot

[tame oracle]

Hey! Is there a way in the new input system that i can disable all external devices (mouse, gamepad, keyboard etc) and then add my own? I want to preserve bindings. For example I disable gamepad, add one programmatically then queue event via code that trigger X button on my "mocked" gamepad

[barren stump]

is this using an older version of the input system or something? it's giving me an error that "PlayerControls" doesnt exist.

I do have the input directive for the input system

[ember anvil]

@barren stump

[barren stump]

oooh the PlayerControls is the inputactions asset

for it was generated to have the same name as the project

[cloud anvil]

why is it so hard to add movement

[barren stump]

thanks, I was able to fix. the problem was that I had my camera movement processing in fixed update

[cloud anvil]

um...can someone help me with the namespace stuff

[austere grotto]

This is not "namespace stuff" this is "You should learn the basics of the C# programming language" stuff

[cloud anvil]

yea....i will after im done with the finals

[tame oracle]

Hey Is there a way in the new input

[tame oracle]

Anyone?

[rugged ingot]

Does anyone know how to assign a user to a game object. I have a character select screne which creates the different users, then the scene loads the level. my spawn points spawn all the players that are going to be playing, but the player input component on my player prefab is creating an additional user

[surreal moth]

is there a way to simulate touch/tap events from editor with the new input system? Trying to google it only yields results relating to the default input system

[austere grotto]

clicking with the mouse works

[surreal moth]

I wont need anything more than this?

[austere grotto]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.1/manual/Touch.html#touch-simulation

[surreal moth]

Looking at that link, this doesnt exist. Is it a module I have to add? I am using the new input systems

[surreal moth]

its not a thing that exists

[surreal moth]

I dont see anything to add or enable it

[austere grotto]

Sould just be part of the input system package

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.3/api/UnityEngine.InputSystem.EnhancedTouch.TouchSimulation.html

Make sure those are real errors in Unity not just in your IDE

[surreal moth]

Whatever is current and latest, version 1.3.0

[surreal moth]

yup doesnt exist

[surreal moth]

Its not working and I cant diagnose why, Im googling but there are no answers, type or namespace doesnt exist

I literally just made a new project, installed new input system, tried to register touch, and it doesnt work, doesnt recognize

I havent done a single fancy special thing,I havent changed any settings

[surreal moth]

https://gamedev-resources.com/implementing-touch-with-input-systems-enhanced-touch-api/ this tutorial says I should use the old input systems

I found the input debug options to turn on 'mouse click as tap'

How do I get the touch position from the new input system?
For mouse you can do this (pictured) but that only works because it gets the mouse position every frame, I need the tap position before the tap itself executes

uh, I have no idea wtf is going on but the top one doesnt work and the bottom one does work

if I rem out the top one, it understands the bottom one

I dont see a difference

those are exactly identical in my eyes

can anyone explain this?

like, im not crazy, that's impossible and stupid, right?

[surreal moth]

gif above, any idea why this is the case?

[cloud anvil]

maybe copy paste the one under

in the place where the one above is

[surreal moth]

Im not trying to solve the bug, im trying to understand what the bug is in the first place so that it never happens again
I can just use the bottom one of I want the bug to go away

[cloud anvil]

doesnt it say in the place where errors show up?

[surreal moth]

but that shouldnt be neccessary because what is happening there is impossible

the top one just says 'type or namespace' doesnt exist, standard error

[cloud anvil]

i had that issue too

[surreal moth]

after saving, quitting, reopening it, now it has tons of ?s in it

[cloud anvil]

apparently writing "namespace UnityEngine.InputSystem" did it for me,but i ditched that code for another one,cause that one had like 5 errors i couldnt figure out

but dont take my word,im very very new to this

and very bad

but ill get better

[west oracle]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/763502300781477948/987417967052591184/why_tho.gif @austere grotto Name that IDE.

[rugged ingot]

how do I attach an inputuser to a gameobject? like, attach controller A to player object A. I have my character select screen and add the playerconfigurations to a list. now in the game, I need to attach those configurations to the players.

[west oracle]

@rugged ingot One of the best examples of this available is the Unity "Vikings" demo

[rugged ingot]

@west oracle I watched the youtube video that unity made. I didn't know the demo would help. I will download it. Thank you

[west oracle]

https://forum.unity.com/threads/best-practices-getting-started-tutorials.875818/

I also made a pile of these a while back; its a bit outdated now but the last one (local multiplayer) could be of use to you

[rugged ingot]

Awesome thanks!

[surreal moth]

How do I raycast a tapped position?

everything im trying is failing, and googling isnt yielding any results either

this is stupid, this should be simple, literally every single mobile app in the world has to do this basic step

so why is there no reasources

[west oracle]

Are you trying to raycast into the 3D scene, or onto the UI?

[surreal moth]

I dont know? Im trying to physics2D raycast but it doesnt hit anything

[surreal moth]

the DrawRay doesnt draw anything

I cannot find the debug anywhere in the scene at all

I dont even have a canvas yet

[west oracle]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.ugui@1.0/manual/Raycasters.html

[glad junco]

Is it possible to make a mod for a game with a different input system?

Like is it possible to make 2 mods for the same game but they both have different systems?

[west oracle]

If you have source code anything is possible 🙂

[surreal moth]

Right but how do I actually use it https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.ugui@1.0/manual/script-GraphicRaycaster.html
nothing on this page is a tutorial explaining step by step to make it actually do a function

[west oracle]

lol thats fair - this document is shit

What're you trying to accomplish in general? I'll get ya a headstart 🙂

[surreal moth]

I want to interact with literal any elements of the game

I cant even register a raycast right now

I feel fucking stupid because this is bellow baby tier, this is literally the most basic of basic literally every mobile app must have

why is everything so hard, why am I so fucking stupid

[west oracle]

There's a few approaches! If you want to use the Unity EventSystem, you go the Physics2DRaycaster approach. if you want to directly raycast, your method pasted above is pretty close

EventSystem is probably the most "Modern" with built-in events like multitouch, drag, drop, etc

What Unity version ya on?

[surreal moth]

What is the event system and how does it relate to the new input system? Ive heard of 'unity Events' but not some kind of system.
I am on not on latest 2020.3.32

[west oracle]

2021?

[surreal moth]

turns out I am on 2020.3.32

I just assumed a brand new project would have been latest by default but I guess thats just another way that im stupid, assuming a new thing would default to new

[west oracle]

lol, changing Unity versions is a big commitment 😛

Lemme whip up a quick example of 2D Physics Object interactions

[surreal moth]

I don't even want this to be a physics object, I am just trying to register the tap

there is no physics interaction going to be happening of any kind

[west oracle]

ah, this is why I ask 🙂

does the object have a Collider?

[surreal moth]

Yes

[west oracle]

or is it a Canvas Object?

all "Colliders" in unity are based on Physics. the Canvas stuff is entirely separate.

[surreal moth]

Collider2D, because thats the only way in past projects ive been able to get raycasting to work

[west oracle]

gotcha - yea thats "Physics2D"

[surreal moth]

If this is for mobile I should probably throw all this out and do Canvas shouldnt I? because it actually matters on mobile performance stuff like that?

[west oracle]

(Honestly 2D phys is probably more efficient than canvas; but Canvas has a lot of quality of life features for UI things like masking, scrollbars, etc)

[surreal moth]

Yeah I might have to add canvas later for UI stuff but right now I was focusing on the game interactions

[west oracle]

here ya go

[surreal moth]

Downloading

[surreal moth]

Unity wont let me drag that in, and it wont show up in the folder that its in when I go package manager -> import

why does everything have to so hard

[surreal moth]

why is there a difference between import package and import package

[west oracle]

different type of package 😛

(Unreal is even worse about this - it stems from being a technology platform thats been around for more than 10 years)

[surreal moth]

Yeah a ton of bad decisions stacked on worse decisions that cant change because of legacy code 😬

[west oracle]

shrug

I've been using Unity since November 2009

Seen some things.

[surreal moth]

I have been since 2018 yet somehow I still cannot do the most basic thing

[surreal moth]

I am looking at your package and I have no idea how any of it works. There doesnt appear to be any code at all? Yet it registered a tap

[west oracle]

ClickableObject.cs

[surreal moth]

Yes I looked at it thats what I mean, it has nothing but a debug.log

there's no code there at all to handle a click, raycast, etc

[west oracle]

Correct! It implements the IPointerClick handler

the EventSystem, and Physics2DRaycaster do the heavy lifting with this method

so your objects only need simple interfaces

[surreal moth]

when I try to goto implimentation it cant because I assume its a unity package thing

[surreal moth]

I really don't like using external packages like this because I have no idea at all how to use it, like its great that it does this ONE narrow use case, but the instant I have to do anything else other than click a thing, I can't do it because im rely on a black box that I have no comprension of

[west oracle]

its not external

[surreal moth]

external to my own code base*

[west oracle]

its been built into Unity since ~2012

If you wanna do your own barebones raycasts I can make an example of that too!

EventSystem is just a quick n' simple way to deal with it.

for mobile in particular, it greatly simplifies dealing with multitouch

[surreal moth]

the 'right' answer is that I should be using event system if it does everything better

[west oracle]

I do barebones sometimes too 🙂 depends on the situation

but for example, you can get the ray from inside that method too

[surreal moth]

Will this even work on mobile? Because it says 'pointerclick' and mobile devices have neither pointers nor clicks

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/30_search.html?q=IPointerClickHandler.html no results for doccumentation

[west oracle]

"Tap" and "Click" are pretty synonymous

[surreal moth]

In my experience I can never make any kind of assumption like that, as soon a I assume tap and click are synonmous, thats when something breaks because it ONLY recieves one thing

[west oracle]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.ugui@1.0/manual/SupportedEvents.html

[surreal moth]

and its worse because I cannot find the internals of this thing to gain comprehension of it

Thank you for your help by the way, I would be stuck, lost, and probably in mental health crisis right now without it

[west oracle]

thats what the discord is for! 🙂

[surreal moth]

im supposed to be a professional developer but I can't do a single thing right and I get into agonizing pain the instant anything doesnt work right :/

iunno how everyone else handles this stress pain

[west oracle]

persevere! its worth it.

[surreal moth]

https://forum.unity.com/threads/eventsystem-vs-new-input-system.850840/
so should I even be using the new input system?

because I am not seeing the linkages between that and the event system, and your example takes a tap without even considering the new input system at all

[west oracle]

"Yes" 😦

it does actually!

If you add a Standalone Input Module, but have the New Input System enabled, it'll prompt you to update yours tuff

which it does pretty seamlessly 🙂

[surreal moth]

Oh its there its just using a default set up

I see

[west oracle]

ya - there you go.

wrangling the new input system itself can be a whole couple days of learning though lol

#🖱️┃input-system message

I defer to my own tutorials 😛

Anyway, this is why I say the "EventSystem" approach is probably the easiest to get started with.

Once those few modules are setup, you're pretty good to go with interactions using tap, gamepad, mouse, keyboard, etc.

[surreal moth]

thank you for the help, I will look at those tutorials

im afraid im in mental health freefall now and deeply in crisis because im a worthless failure so ill read them later after im done self abusing

[west oracle]

Take care of yourself ❤️ Learning new things can help in a lot of ways on that front.

[sly frost]

How Can i fix that my keyboard wasd and GamePad Left JoyStick uses same axis so how can i use it differently

So its like i am using split screen so 2nd player uses joystick to control and 1st player uses wasd(Keyboard) but as i am Using Horizontal and Vertical as my KeyBoard WASD when i try using left joystick it also control the player 1

[coral terrace]

Please tell me this is just a bug. Even with an array of Input Actions, they all just match each other. I'm SO close to getting this working.

[austere grotto]

Input manager

[austere grotto]

How'd you get here? What are we looking at? Give us some context

[sly frost]

Yes I am using input manager...

[austere grotto]

That's where you set that stuff up

[sly frost]

Ya bcz i am a beginner and the new input system is kinda hard for me

[coral terrace]

Tried making an array of Input Actions, but whenever I add a binding or change anything, it affects all entries of the array

[austere grotto]

But how did you create them

Sounds like you have a bunch of references to the same action in your list

[coral terrace]

public InputAction[] input;

Something like this

I don’t have an Actions file set up iirc. I thought I found a way to get away with not using it because of how it’s all structured

[austere grotto]

I mean how did you add actions to it

[cloud anvil]

there anyone here who knows what the input key for left mouse button is,cause i aint finding it

nevermind

fixed it

[coral terrace]

Array of actions issues

[sick dock]

hey im watching this tutorial and i have several questions
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmXU4dZbaMw

1. he adds a PlayerInput component every single time, but then proceeds to delete it shortly afterwards? Whats the purpose of this component then?

2. whats the purpose of the C# script that you can generate? He doesnt explain it enough for me

[ember anvil]

@sick dock I'd say putting "EASILY" in the title of that video is misleading. He's throwing around this and that, jumping all over the place, without explaining most of it. The actual tutorial is a much cleaner approach: https://learn.unity.com/project/using-the-input-system-in-unity

[sick dock]

thanks

im looking at the unity tutorial now for the input system

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.InputSystem;
 
public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour
{
   private Rigidbody rb;
   private float movementX;
   private float movementY;
   public float speed = 1;
 
   void Start()
   {
       rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
   }
 
   private void OnMove(InputValue movementValue)
   {
       Vector2 movementVector = movementValue.Get<Vector2>();
       movementX = movementVector.x;
       movementY = movementVector.y;
   }
  
   void FixedUpdate()
   {
       Vector3 movement = new Vector3(movementX, 0.0f, movementY);
       rb.AddForce(movement * speed);
   }
}```

they provide this script for the roll-a-ball movement

how does it get movement? does OnMove get called implicitly whenever you move?

[ember anvil]

Keep going :p They didn't piece it out into 11 parts just for shit and giggles

[sick dock]

so im not supposed to be able to move after step 2?

just checking 😅

[sick dock]

hey quick question

if i want to use several buttons to activate an ability

eg hold down shift and then hit w twice to activate dash

how would i do that?

[west oracle]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.0/api/UnityEngine.InputSystem.Composites.ButtonWithOneModifier.html

^ or the manual way

[surreal moth]

Can someone link me to a tutorial that ACTUALLY answers "TAP (NOT click, NOT a mouse) on an object, and get that object"

Ive tried like 4-5 times now and it fails every single time, every single attempt to physics2d raycast fails, every single time

it never detects the thing ever

and visual studio wont debug it right, and I cant find any tutorials that answer tihs, and all the turorials I do find are completely bogus bullshit unrelated that dont work

I feel like im taking crazy pills, I feel like EVERY SINGLE TIME I try to do ANYTHING, I am always the FIRST person who has EVER attempted to do it, because the entire fucking internet is utterly completely barren devoid of answers

or more likely its SO simple that NO ONE has ever failed to this before, and im just that fucking worthlessly stupid that icant get something so fucking simple a literal baby could do it

line for line copied from the net, never hits a collider

show me how I misunderstood literally copied line for line code, zero original code of my own

You just gave me a bunch of mouse answers that are completely utterly useless to me because this is not about a mouse

I'm not using the old system, sorry that wasnt clear

What do you mean by that?

[forest fog]

Hello, I've been trying to make a simple character controller using the new input system and I can't find a way to jump :/ please help

[surreal moth]

I have a 2d collider box, thats it, and im clicking tapping on it

there is no game, there is no other systems, there is nothing to debug, there is just a collider2d, and me tapping it, and no hits

Ive tried every single type of physics2d hit test, no hits, Physics2D.OverlapPoint, no hits

i must be just too fucking stupid to see what other successful competent people can see when they look at it, the answer is obvious to them but its not obvious to me and I hate it

i get more and more bitter and frustrated every single day i try to program anything despite doing C# 9-5 for about 4 years now

nothing fucking works, im too fucking stupid to succeed at a single thing, i cannot find a single person who will just help me, and there are no useful resources online becaue im too fucking stupid to comprehend them

[forest fog]

I would like to help you but I don't know how I could do it. I don't even remember how to code a stupid jump...

[surreal moth]

im pretty much in mental health crisis 24/7 every single time I try to do anything

[surreal moth]

id love to try to help you but im too stupid

I reached out for help in like a dozen rooms in a dozen gamedev discords, no answer or help in any of them

those who can, do, those who cannot, dont hang out helping idiots like me in gamedev discords

[forest fog]

my last braincell died when I installed cinemachine for the first time

[surreal moth]

Thanks for the link but that didnt help. That is related to canvas, I am trying to us the new input system to touch game objects in the 2d game scene

[grave crane]

How can I make my TitleScreen, PauseScreen work with a controller?

I basically want the controller to choose the different options with a joystick

[frigid ridge]

UI navigation is the keyword you are looking for. There are some tooling for this in EventSystem/InputModule.

[grave crane]

and how do i get it to work?

[plush delta]

HI, I'm using cinemachine, and i want to use it with mobile, so I want to:
With the onSwipe on Mobile the camera should rotate around the object
With Pinch (two finger zoom-in or zoom-out) I want to zoom in/out to the object in the scene
Is this possible?

[blissful comet]

So, I seem to be unable to use the keyboard all of a sudden. I did some breakpoints and found the function that is subscribed to the "Move" action just is not being called ever. I checked the version history in git and the player input asset hasn't changed in months. Is there something I could have broken in the project settings or anything that would make the keyboard just not register inputs? The maps are enabled, the mouse controls on it work just fine, and I can plug in a gamepad and it'll do everything, including the functions I can't get to work on the keyboard.

Actually, nevermind. I figured it out. Apparently, since I started Unity while remoted in to the computer, it is still trying to read input from that keyboard. A simple restart solved the problem

[gloomy vortex]

I'm trying to get input actions to work so that my enemy can react when it's clicked on. Unfortunately I don't see the callback function available here even though it has the right signature. What could it be?

[jagged wyvern]

Dont drag in script

Use game obj

Alternatively use c# events

[gloomy vortex]

alright, thanks!

[bleak pelican]

I am using the new input system and my scene has 4 players in it. its a local multiplayer game and currently I can assign the current keyboard to one players and the current gamepad to another but can separate gamepads and keyboards. everything is just using gamepad current. I have been searching for 2 days and everything is saying to use input managers and player input stuff but I cant because my scene already starts with 4 players and I would have to insatiate the players. I need a way to get individual input devices and assign them to scripts.
https://gdl.space/nipuwetuga.coffeescript
This is the main bit of code I want to change. instead of trying to make them each equal to Gamepad.current I need to make the each a different gamepad. but you cant get specific gamepads. or at least I dont know how

[sharp geode]

is there a way to get a PointerEventData associated with an input system event?

for example, a UI/Click

is the expectation i just raycast myself?

alternatively, is there an EventSystem subclass maintained online that is better featured?

[austere grotto]

It comes in as a parameter when you use IPointerClickHandler etc.

[sharp geode]

well i'm really looking for retrieving the pointer event data / PointerModel associated with a given InputSystem Pointer / callback context

which the input module from input system has, but is not exposed publicly

the purpose being i'm trying to harmonize things that use input action references with things that use event system, like a camera control versus the UI

i'm not really sure why they declare it internal instead of protected

would have been a lot less painful...

[austere grotto]

A lot of people make custom input modules extending from the Unity ones, maybe explore that.

[keen edge]

Is it possible to create a function there when i click "Shift" i will accelerate and stop clicking i slow down.

[fading breach]

Why wouldn't it be possible?

[keen edge]

I tried to create it but it fail.
i have a moveSpeed variable for the normal walking speed and have a "OnShift" Function to represent the moment where i click the shift key.
I try to put when i click the key, my speed increase like put moveSpeed + 10 but when i don't know how to make it go back to the normal speed

This is what i did but don't know what to do to return back to normal speed

I was thinking of a code where it can tell if i click shift the movespeed variable change and when i let go of it, it will return to normal.

[ember anvil]

You're in luck today, my friend! It's covered in this tutorial https://learn.unity.com/project/using-the-input-system-in-unity

(4th chapter)

[burnt bison]

how can i access the UI Input System? I was trying too but wasn't successfull instead i created another one in default section to do the same thing as i intended to do

i tried to use OnFire() but couldn't is there anything i was missing?

[fathom thunder]

Hi, I have an issue unsubscribing from one particular action:

If I subscribe like this:
InputManager.inputActions.Gameplay.ZoomToggle.performed += obj => shooting.Zoom();
InputManager.inputActions.Gameplay.ZoomToggle.Enable();

And unsubscribe like this:
InputManager.inputActions.Gameplay.ZoomToggle.performed -= obj => shooting.Zoom();
InputManager.inputActions.Gameplay.ZoomToggle.Disable();

I'm getting MissingReferenceExceptions for this action when reloading the scene.

But If I subscribe like this:
InputManager.inputActions.Gameplay.ZoomToggle.performed += ZoomToggle;
InputManager.inputActions.Gameplay.ZoomToggle.Enable();

private void ZoomToggle(InputAction.CallbackContext obj)
{
shooting.Zoom();
}

And unsubscribe like this:
InputManager.inputActions.Gameplay.ZoomToggle.performed -= ZoomToggle;
(Seems I don't even need a Disable() )

There are no issues.

• From all other actions that seem to be sub- and unsubscribing the same way, why is this particular action causing issues?
• Why does the second method of subscribing resolve the issue?

Any help would be appreciated.

[austere grotto]

You can't unsubscribe with a lambda like that. It's not the same lambda instance

[fathom thunder]

That's weird, unfortunately I don't remember where I got this from. But, I'm sub- and unsubscribing (apparently not?) this way with three other actions and there's no issue whatsoever. That's why I was wondering why the last action didn't work.

[austere grotto]

All I can tell you is that when you subscribe with an anonymous lambda like that, it is impossible to properly unsubscribe since you don't store a reference to the delegate anywhere

I am using the new input system and my scene has 4 players in it. its a local multiplayer game and currently I can assign the current keyboard to one players and the current gamepad to another but can separate gamepads and keyboards. everything is just using gamepad current. I have been searching for 3 days and everything is saying to use input managers and player input stuff but I cant because my scene already starts with 4 players and I would have to insatiate the players. I need a way to get individual input devices and assign them to scripts.
https://gdl.space/nipuwetuga.coffeescript
This is the main bit of code I want to change. instead of trying to make them each equal to Gamepad.current I need to make the each a different gamepad. but you cant get specific gamepads. or at least I dont know how

[gloomy vortex]

I'm using the new input system but as soon as I add a Canvas these errors start popping up. Any idea what is causing this?

Answering my own question: apparently the Event System has an Input component. Switching that out with the new input system fixes the errors. Yay!

Hey guys, I've been using the new input system to create an OnScreenJoystick for my mobile game

the only issue I have tho is that the joystick is fixed

is their anyway to make a floating joystick that appears when the screen is tapped

[fathom thunder]

Good to know, thanks! 👍

[wintry vigil]

how make a joystick that follow pointer down position? with input system.

[west oracle]

There are some on-screen touch joystick examples in the docs

check the optional items in the Input System package download

Hey guys, is there a way to make the Input System UI Input module play nice with action maps? I want to be able to enable my gameplay action map and all the UI action map be disable, but it doesn't work

[midnight fulcrum]

Should I use Quarternion and Vector 3 for movement and rotations? Or is something like this good enough: https://www.toptal.com/developers/hastebin/ahuxiduxok.csharp

Hello I seem to be having a problem with making my Movement code link to my Action inputs and also how I make the flip function work only when the A and D key pressed, at the moment it just flips the sprite on every keypress and my movement code is not working.

[ivory eagle]

hey guys

I'm using a joystick from brackeys tutorial

everything seems to work fine

but when I move my player to left

and release joystick

he keeps moving left

same is the case with all other sides

any idea how I can resolve this issue

[ivory eagle]

this is the code

like i want to set my dirx and diry to 0 when i release joystick

[heady river]

hi im using unitys new input system and i cant go up stairs is there any videos that can help me with this

[verbal star]

how do i capture a mouse hold on touch screen devices

it seems like its triggering both press and release at the same time

[radiant shard]

yes use SwitchActionMap

[verbal star]

Anyone ?

[heady river]

Hi i tried to make the player capable of jumping once and then not being able to do it again by putting an is grounded check it worked and i could only jump once then when i landed i wouldnt be able to move at all so i put another is grounded check that would say if Isgrounded = true then you could walk however now i am back to the start with infinite jumps being a thing

[knotty musk]

How do I find out if the mouse is over a UI element (Unity UI)? IsPointerOverGameObject gives a warning saying not to use it within an InputAction callback. And it seems to return true when it is over ANY game object, even non-UI objects.

What I was trying to do:

public void OnClick(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
{
    if (context.performed && !EventSystem.current.IsPointerOverGameObject())
    {
        Debug.LogFormat(this, "OnClick: {0}", context);
    }
}

How am I supposed to do this?

[austere grotto]

what are you trying to accomplish?

[knotty musk]

Move the player to where they clicked, but only if they did not click on the UI.

[austere grotto]

Why not embrace the event system? Use IPointerClickHandler to detect when the player clicked on the game world

then you won't have to worry about it going through UI

[knotty musk]

IPointerClickHandler only works if you have a collider on the game object though, right?

[austere grotto]

yes

[knotty musk]

So I'd have to have the background tell the player controller that it was clicked, and the click position?

Because I don't know what else to attach the collider to...

[austere grotto]

sure

basically make a big (invisible?) object that handles game world clicking

[knotty musk]

And if I also want to select an object if the player double-clicks it, then have a script that implements IPointerClickHandler on each selectable object, and have them notify a SelectionManager or something to say "hey, I was clicked"?

[austere grotto]

something like that.

[austere grotto]

Layers, layer masks, and layer based collision

[restive hedge]

Hey fellas

I have a character controller system where the mouse is really jerky and janky, and I'm on a dynamic update system rather than fixed

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/845404445109911572/989693658666262548/2022-06-23_20-44-46.mp4

by the way the fps remained around 120

its only in the mouse

Be sure to @ me if you know something

my assumption is that it's a Time.deltaTime problem?

[restive hedge]

Building the scene fixed it, how can I make it work in editor?

[fading breach]

I've heard something about Time.deltaTime making the mouse jerky, can it maybe be that?

[trim hollow]

This is the reason

Mouse input is already frame independent as it's expressed in raw movement units, rather than a state (like keyboard keys) that affects movement over time.

[earnest vector]

how can I remove all events for all inputs in the new input system? I have an issue where when my player gets recreated its still trying to invoke events on destroyed scripts and gameobjects as well as the new player

also do I have to make them all use an InputAction? because currently I'm just doing something like playerInput.actions["Interact"].performed += interact => Interacted(); which from what I have heard makes a new lambda meaning I cant just remove them

[jagged wyvern]

apparently you cant remove if you use lambda

also you're subscribing in a non-traditional way

why not use a method that accepts callback context

[coral terrace]

So, you can define an Input System action in the inspector, right?

[earnest vector]

action = GetComponent<PlayerInput>().actions["Place Object"];
action.performed += AttemptPlaceClient;

ok so I have tried this

now is their an easier way to get all the actions assigned to a GetComponent<PlayerInput>().actions and unsubscribe them from all events

[jagged wyvern]

Not as far as im aware

If you use the player input component you wont have to worry about that tho

[earnest vector]

but it is tho

I destroy the player input component yet the events stay

[jagged wyvern]

The way I'd do it is to keep player input in its own empty object thats never destroyed, and actual player locomotion script has a reference to it

I believe thays the way unity does it with their sample projects

[bitter steppe]

Fire button not working

[void mist]

Hi all
My goal is to provide for my mobile game experience, similar to this video: https://youtu.be/P5JxTfCAOXo?t=492
I am talking about feature that allows you rotate in real world while holding your phone, and rotate your camera in game world same way

The problem is, my phone (and most phones) don't have gyroscope

I tried to use UnityEngine.InputSystem.AttitudeSensor instead of gyroscope - i believe its similar thing but it uses accelerometer to detect player's phone attitude
It would work fine, but it has strange behavior: while you rotate along any axis, rotation degree goes from 1 to 180 (for example) and then goes reverse, and this completely breaks rotation in game world. Maybe someone know how to handle this?

[grizzled pasture]

Hello, I'm trying to use the new input system by subscribing and unsubscribing to events at runtime so I can have inputs that do different things for items. However, I get a couple null reference exceptions when I perform the inputs. Any help?

Sometimes I also get this error when Im subscribing to inputs

ArgumentException: Value does not fall within the expected range.
Game.ItemSystem.Items.Firearms.Firearm.SubscribeToInputEvents () 

[earnest vector]

k ill look into it

[spark pumice]

this looks like you're not unsubscribing properly to me

or you missed an unsub somewhere

[mental birch]

Instead of subscribing and unsubscribing you could create a class that manage the events of the input system and create a layer of abstraction. For example if you want that the player moves only sometimes add to the InputClass a Vector3 property, that represent the direction of the movement, it will be always updated even if the player can't move and let manage the player's movement by the player's script.

[grizzled pasture]

Do you mean like not subscribing directly to the unity input events but having my own events that unity input subscribed to?

[mental birch]

Yes this is also an alternative that you could choose

[grizzled pasture]

I'm confused what your saying here tho. What exactly do you mean by "manage the events of the input system"?

Like what I'm trying to do is subscribe to events at runtime since I have a inventory system and I want to subscribe and unsubcribe to different input events as I change the item im using

[mental birch]

It depends on what you have to do

[austere grotto]

Could also just fix your sub/unsub code

[mental birch]

Just create an object for each item and then change the reference of that object

[mental birch]

I can remember that I had in the past the same problem

For me had been much easier change the design of my code

[austere grotto]

Lots of people try things that don't work like sub/unsub with lambdas

There are correct ways to do it and incorrect ways

[grizzled pasture]

is their a way to just clear all the methods that an action subscribes too?

[austere grotto]

You could just show your code and we can help you fix it

[grizzled pasture]

ok hang on

[austere grotto]

Instead of jumping to alternative solutions

[mental birch]

Why you don't create a class with a list of items each items is rappresented by a basic class or interface that hold a method like UseItem() and each time that the player change the item you have just to change the current item and the input system will always call the UseItem() method of the current item

[grizzled pasture]

Thats what I was originally doing at first but for things like a gun object, I want to handle multiple bindings like reloading, shooting.

[jagged wyvern]

so what you're doing is having the input system care about the gun
instead of the gun caring about the input system

[grizzled pasture]

It's helpful if I want an Item to handle multiple controls with different inputs

[jagged wyvern]

I dont think so

[grizzled pasture]

for the second image

Then I have this code which is called when the server stops/when I exit playmode which is supposed to handle the unsubscribing

But then when I subscribe and unsubscribe, I get this error

ArgumentException: Value does not fall within the expected range.
Game.ItemSystem.Items.Firearms.Firearm.SubscribeToInputEvents () (at Assets/Scripts/Game/ItemSystem/Items/Firearms/Firearm.cs:60)

Game.ItemSystem.Inventory.Inventory.Start () (at Assets/Scripts/Game/ItemSystem/Inventory/Inventory.cs:33)

[jagged wyvern]

you might have to pass in a reference to the input object

[grizzled pasture]

a reference to the method?

[jagged wyvern]

no

where's your input in the scene

[grizzled pasture]

this is how im managing the inputs

and the InputActions is the file unity generates when u create the action maps

[jagged wyvern]

I think you need to access the instance

you need an actual object

right now your subscribing to class fields

I think that's where the problem lies

[grizzled pasture]

you mean like this?

[jagged wyvern]

that's still the class

[austere grotto]

It's a static field

Which is not inherently a problem

[jagged wyvern]

doesn't he need to get the instance tho?

[austere grotto]

He's accessing the instance of InputActions

[jagged wyvern]

well idk why it wouln't let him subscribe otherwise

[austere grotto]

Depends where and when he's trying to subscribe/unsub. We see the method that does it but not when and on which object it is called

[grizzled pasture]

@austere grotto

here is the error

it happens when I unsubscribe as well

[twilit fjord]

I wish Unity would make the new input systems the default ones.

But to be honest I never use the input systems.

Just saying, I know some people who get irked about the input systems

[tall pecan]

I agree with this

[toxic mountain]

did i do something wrong ?

[surreal shard]

Hey guys I'm not sure I'm in the right place to ask, lmk if it belongs somewhere else. I'm using the unity inputsystem for a project and on my side it works but my friend I'm working with gets updates through github and the input system throws an error (he has the package installed I checked in window=>package manager). So far I haven't been able to fix it
The type or namespace name 'InputSystem' does not exist in the namespace 'UnityEngine'

[zinc stump]

Did you try this? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63636944/unity-type-or-namespace-name-inputsystem-does-not-exist-in-the-namespace-unit

[surreal shard]

You mean regenerate project files? Yes but unfortunately it doesn't help :/

[zinc stump]

Did you read the entire solution?

[surreal shard]

Ah sorry I skipped over the 2nd answer with assemblies. On his side the assembly definition (that reference the inputsystem) can't be loaded for some reason. He gets it over the github. I tried sending him the file directly and it didn't help neither

[zinc stump]

make sure package manager settings are included and regenerate with packages project files on

Other settings could be missing as well, which set to use it in player settings

[surreal shard]

I didn't get your second answer, which other settings? The ones that are ticked in preferences => external tools to regenerate the project files?

[patent tartan]

Anyone know the difference between value/pass through action types?

[austere grotto]

The different action types are documented here https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.4/manual/Actions.html#action-types

[chilly verge]

Whats the best way to check which type of input device the player is currently using with the new input system?

[jagged wyvern]

Player input component handles that

[chilly verge]

Is there another way? My game is setup to use a custom script I made and it would be hard to switch to the player input component. Another way I could get my issue fixed is if there’s some kind of event that gets called whenever any key is pressed, and includes context of what kind of device, tho as far as I know that only exists for the player input component

[jagged wyvern]

See the event action triggered; https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.4/api/UnityEngine.InputSystem.InputActionMap.html

From there u can get the device

[trail sun]

I think i can help u with that

[quasi dove]

Anyone know why Scroll/Mouse Wheel isnt there? And if so, how do I get it/add it?

[sharp snow]

I know this may seem very simple but does anyone have any idea on how to make the joystick change the "turn" value to control how much the car steers? I'm modifying the karting microgame and would like to add mobile support.

[kindred crater]

Randomly started getting this error when trying to assign functions for inputs with the new input system, any ideas?

[austere grotto]

just looks like an internal unity error with the UI

[kindred crater]

any work around? How else would I assign the functions for my inputs?

[austere grotto]

restart Unity?

[kindred crater]

yeah, tried that and also tried updating the package

[austere grotto]

when exactly do you get the error

[kindred crater]

when trying to click the function list dropdown

nothing happens and the error appears

which is why i assume the error is for drawerpopup list

[austere grotto]

What happens if you assign a different object in the slot

[kindred crater]

hmm it works when changing the object

[austere grotto]

something weird on that object then

one of the scripts has a weird function the UI doesn't know how to handle or something

[fierce parrot]

so pretty weird problem

in my Update

i initially had this

if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0)) { [function and whatnot] }

in the game, when i clicked, this would fire twice even if i added a flag

however, when i use this

if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1")) { [same stuff] }
```it works?

what's happening under the hood for the second function?

[austere grotto]

most likely issue was just that you had multiple copies of that script in the scene

[fierce parrot]

?

i only had one copy of that?

[normal snow]

it doesn't work with the new input system after I set it up for the new input system I have a jump command and it says that it can't find the jump action and then when I start it says NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an n object Player.UpdateMovment () (at assets/Player.cs:68)

[marble lotus]

Anyone have any idea why Unity's input system doesn't work when built to exe? It works in the inspector/play mode perfectly fine, but as soon as it's independent it just stops working.

Mouse button stuff works, right now it appears to be exclusively a keydown/axis thing. code I'm using is

        if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.M))
        {
            print("Toggling all cubes to \"Active\". ");
            ToggleAllIn(inactiveCubes);
        }

        //the rest of the inputs use getAxisRaw. Cube Movement time!
        float HorizontalAxisPos = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
        float VerticalAxisPos = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical"); //this should probably work with controllers, too, now that I think about it.

        Vector3 MoveVect = new Vector3(HorizontalAxisPos, 0, VerticalAxisPos);
        MoveVect = MoveVect.normalized * movementSpeed * Time.deltaTime; //basic Vector stuff, move it in the dir of the axis based on the speed var. Deltatime prevents it from pissing off at mach speeds.

        foreach (GameObject cube in activeCubes) //only move the active ones.
        {
            Rigidbody toMove = cube.GetComponent<Rigidbody>(); //not a fan of doing getComponent in a loop like this potentially every frame, I could probably cache these but there's an extent where the extra complexity isn't worth.
            toMove.MovePosition(cube.transform.position + MoveVect);
        }

which is in update. excluded is the typical raycast select stuff

Issue applies to controllers as well

I'm thinking this HAS to be a build setting issue, but I have zero idea what it COULD be

[charred crypt]

using UnityEngine.InputSystem cannot be found(I regenerated project files). In VS2022 I can see Unity.InputSystem but its says it is ignored Can somebody tell what to do with this problem? Thanks

[austere grotto]

what part isn't working?

[marble lotus]

Keyboard inputs in general. When built to an exe they simply don't work.

works as expected in the play mode window

[austere grotto]

That's not the experience I've seen anyone else have

[marble lotus]

Correct, which is why I'm confused.

[austere grotto]

btw I see an error in your code: toMove.MovePosition(cube.transform.position + MoveVect); MovePosition should not be used in Update

it will not result in smooth or predictable motion

like most things involving Rigidbodies, it should be done in FixedUpdate

[marble lotus]

I'll keep it in mind, but It doesn't fix the issue.

[austere grotto]

I think your assumption that Input.GetAxisRaw is the issue is wrong

something else is going wrong

do some debugging

could also be a window focus issue

[marble lotus]

Everything else works as expected. window is in focus, tabbing out and back in makes no difference.

Clicking/the actual update stuff works, just not keyboard/controller inputs, hence why I thought it was a build settings issue.

[arctic cobalt]

This is wrong right? I shouldnt have a 1D Axis, if im tryin to make a first-person controller

https://forum.unity.com/threads/no-option-of-2d-vector-composite-in-input-system-1-0-0.888607/
Found answer

[austere grotto]

if you're using joysticks you don't want a composite at all

You have named your actions things like "Movement/LeftStick" which is... you shouldn't include the name of the control in the action name

just call it "Movement"

[arctic cobalt]

Oh well I already wrote the scripts

[austere grotto]

and it can be Value/Vector2 and a simple binding for the joystick you want

[arctic cobalt]

I figured

Why is the naming important? Using the FindAction It takes a string

[austere grotto]

Because what if you want to change the binding

or allow the user to change the binding

now the name makes no sense

[arctic cobalt]

Ahh I see

[ruby hedge]

Is there a good way to using hold vs toggle input based on device? Like I have a radial menu that when using a keyboard should have a button held to keep it open, but when using a controller I want it to be a toggle open.

[glass lark]

Anyone have any idea why this might be generating this error...when the right mouse button isn't even getting pressed?

[ruby hedge]

Well what is at line 299 of PlayerInputController?

[glass lark]

Well that's not the issue I'm having. The problem is .performed shouldn't even be getting called, because the right mouse button isn't being pressed when that error occurs. And the right mouse button is a modifier for that action.

[ruby hedge]

Ah, ah I see I misread originally by bad. The reason is because it is passthrough

[glass lark]

Nope. I still get the same issue when I changed it from Passthrough to Value.

[charred crypt]

using UnityEngine.InputSystem cannot be found(I regenerated project files). In VS2022 I can see Unity.InputSystem but its says it is ignored Can somebody tell what to do with this problem? Thanks

[jagged wyvern]

idk try to reinstall input system package

[charred crypt]

Doesn't work

[jagged wyvern]

🤷‍♂️

Idk then

Is your project using assemblies?

[spiral galleon]

Turn off Unity and delete Library/ScriptAssemblies folder, start unity, regenerate project file and see if it fixes it

[void mist]

Is someone knows smth about such problem:
touch controls does not work in my project.
Input.simulateMouseWithTouches is true
When i click with mouse, input debug correctly shows info about simulated touches
But Input.touchCount shows 0
Actions through PlayerInput component does not work too.
Touches in android build does not work too

additional info: game correctly registering clicks on UI buttons both on PC and android build, so touchscreen and mouse definitely work

[charred crypt]

Nope, it doesn't work

[austere grotto]

Are you using Unity Remote

Also - simulateMosueWithTouches creates mouse input from touch input, not the other way around.

[void mist]

no, i create apk and install it to my phone

[void mist]

i meant this debug option, sorry for mistake

[austere grotto]

If you have an apk on your phone how are you using a mouse?

have you attached a mouse to your phone?

[void mist]

i am talking about two different situations. touch doesnt work BOTH when i simulate it using mouse in editor, AND when i am trying to test in on my phone

[bitter timber]

how can i reproduce input.getaxis("horizontal"); on new input system
value was starting from 0 and increasing
than becoming 1

[timber robin]

Unity has a primer video on their YouTube channel covering the new input system. It goes over how to implement movement.

[bitter timber]

yeah i looked at that

but it works like input.getAxisRaw()

becoming 0 to 1 suddenly

for smoother movement i want it to slowly increase

[timber robin]

Right, you have to implement your own acceleration/deceleration.

[bitter timber]

Okay, thanks. I was kinda lazy for doing that so wanted to know if there is a built-in method to do that for new input system

[coarse jolt]

I have a player, with a playerlook script that seemed to be working fine, I added a model and animations but now the camera is being erroneous and feels like its following certain meshes and/or skewing off a straight line

[austere grotto]

what does this have to do with #🖱️┃input-system , and what is your actual question?

[stoic raven]

mouse delta

???

[austere grotto]

What about it?

[stoic raven]

does that not have to do with the input system?

[austere grotto]

Sure it does, but do you have a question about it?

[stoic raven]

its not me, but from the looks of his comment it seems something is up with his mouse delta

no?

[austere grotto]

Oh you were attempting to answer their question. Who knows. The description was really vague.

[flat blaze]

idk if i am doing this right, but i get this error

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object Button.Awake () (at Assets/Scripts/Objects/Button.cs:16)

[glass yacht]

is there a PlayerInput attached to the same object

[flat blaze]

ofc i forget that

[fierce parrot]

why does Input.GetAxis work outside of Update, but Input.GetButtonDown doesn't?

[austere grotto]

Oversimplification but get button down only gives you meaningful data for a single frame

FixedUpdate doesn't run every frame so it can miss that single frame

[fierce parrot]

actually another question
Input.GetAxis does work outside of Update right

hey hey, anyone here working with a steam deck? I'm trying to get access to the handhelds tilt value with the gyro, but unfortunately I don't get anything back with Input.Gyro. Also tried Rewired as an input system, but nothing here either. Is there something I'm missing?

[sour drum]

Does anyone know how to bind a composite input into multiple axis? For example, if I wanted forward to be on the left stick vertical axis and backward to be on the right stick vertical axis, how would I do so? is it possible? or would I have to make a different input action for each, rather than doing a composite input

[austere grotto]

You'd do an up left right down composite probably?

Not sure how well it'd work

[drowsy gale]

Hi! I have a basic question. How do people usually utilize the new Input System? There seems to be different ways to use it (c# events, unity events, and i'm s ure there's another one I don't remember). How is it usually used on games? Also, can someone please link me a GOOD tutorial on it? I really want to learn it

[sour drum]

u were right, i just had to change it to value - axis, and it worked nicely

thanks brother

[gaunt drift]

How do I do this? When I press [x] on Xbox controller it should behave like I'm pressing [F] on Keybord

I press x on Xbox controller. It do nothing

move look jump sprint is working

[sour drum]

You have to add another bind, but for "Xbox Contoller" instead with the path of the X button

[rugged remnant]

you can start with many of the tutorials from youtube. they cover the same topics. some may provide more info so it's always good to watch more than one. i've seen both unity events and c# events, it really depends what you're more comfortable with . . .

[lucid hemlock]

hello guys because of some reasons my input manager is running completely differently, I mean the vertical and horizontal ones

[rugged remnant]

haven't seen that before, how so?

[lucid hemlock]

I don't know can I share my screen somewhere like in your dm?

[rugged remnant]

nah, easier to post/explain the issue here so anyone can help. it's almost 5am for me, so i can fall asleep at anytime . . . 😅

[lucid hemlock]

ok I dont know why but my input manager works fine when the player is rotated 180 degrees but wont work when it is not like it will go back when press w and right when press a but why?

[lucid hemlock]

bro did you got the problem?

[rugged remnant]

how are you moving the object? you're probably not moving based on the object's forward direction . . .

[lucid hemlock]

this is my script https://paste.ofcode.org/hrArdYSrm8NFywqTA976K6 and after it wasn't working I also tried this script from a tutorial https://paste.ofcode.org/cfkTM5J5xNt3bxGcTjWCSm and it was still not working and I also sen't my input manager screenshot

[lucid hemlock]

bro u slept?

[turbid crane]

is there a quick way to test single touch with new input without having to create new inputs and actions?

[austere grotto]

TouchScreen.current.primaryTouch

[grizzled pasture]

I keep getting ArgumentException: Value does not fall within the expected range. when trying to subscribe/unsubscribe from input events at runtime. Anyone know what this error means?

[austere grotto]

show your code? I think it means your function doesn't have the right signature or something like that

[grizzled pasture]

@austere grotto ?

what exactly do you mean by "signature"?

[austere grotto]

the signature of a method is its return type and argument list

[spice tusk]

so unityevents dont seem to work at all for me

idk why it wont work

i have a space bar setup as shoot

correctly

i got all this

and the controller.cs as this

and yet, nothing works

im not missing anything

apologies if wrong place to ask

[lament ocean]

i just switched over to the new inputsystem and it doesnt register at all. i changed the settings in player and in eventsystem but it doesnt register any inputs

[austere grotto]

Show screenshot of your input module

[lament ocean]

you mean this?

[austere grotto]

No

I mean the Input module component on your event system

[lament ocean]

do i have to set my controller to the input module?

[austere grotto]

???

Your input module just needs to be set up properly

[austere grotto]

Ok that looks fine

You need to also have a graphic raycaster on your canvas

Or wait are you asking about UI stuff

Or what

[lament ocean]

no its for controls

the inputs just dont register

[austere grotto]

Oh, how are you trying to listen to them

[lament ocean]

its in my player object

script has reference to the controller and a getcomponent

oh nvm i had to enable it on start i didnt know that was a requirement

oh well but gamepad doesnt work at all

[austere grotto]

What are you doing in the script? When you use SendMessages mode you don't actually even need a reference to the PLayerInput component

[lament ocean]

switching between gamepad and mouse&keyboard since the controls are different for each ingame for example

[austere grotto]

no

I mean

how is your script listening to the inputs

show the code

[lament ocean]

things like this but now the mouse and keyboard part works but the gamepad just doesnt so it might be the fact that i have a bootleg controller

[austere grotto]

you also have actions that are bound to both mouse position and gamepad joysticks

that's generally... not feasible

try unbinding the mouse

[lament ocean]

i did and well the two situations are handled differently depending on wether youre using the mouse at the moment or the gamepad

its all good my gamepad literally doesnt work anymore apparently

[sour drum]

Is there a reason a single action would not be rebinding? I have action 'A' that is working perfectly and rebinds, but action 'B', which is the exact same type and inputs the exact same thing but on a different key, doesnt rebind at all

it simply just doesnt register the new key press

theres nothing on the internet about it, so idek what to do at this point

[left ore]

Unity.21.Android touch input -
seem to get controls for player/ main menu to work, but when adding a vehicle and using touch can’t make it happen, vehicle works with keyboard and controller tho.

Not sure what I’m getting confused on, I’m new, as u can tell..

There would only be one vehicle, and the vehicle would be treated as player aswell

Changed to use player controls, still nothing, can’t get vehicle to move, everything else is fine, what am I missing?

[left ore]

/Touchscreen/press,/Simulated Touchscreen/press]'
UnityEngine.InputSystem.LowLevel.NativeInputRuntime/<>c__DisplayClass7_0:<set_onUpdate>b__0 (UnityEngineInternal.Input.NativeInputUpdateType,UnityEngineInternal.Input.NativeInputEventBuffer*)
UnityEngineInternal.Input.NativeInputSystem:NotifyUpdate (UnityEngineInternal.Input.NativeInputUpdateType,intptr)

Swapped to default standard asset vehicle, still vehicle doesn’t move with touch. Player, menu, vehicle with keyboard and controller work

[mighty ivy]

can you subscribe to InputActions per controller?

[mighty ivy]

that is to say i dont want to use playerinput or player input manager

[mighty ivy]

i have a pad id, and i want to receive actions from that pad

sounds pretty simple 😐

[left ore]

Buler?…Buler?…

[spice tusk]

heya, i asked at a very inactive time of the night yesterday so thats my bad, but has anyone got an answer to this:

im using unityevents with player input component, however it wont register my inputs, even with everything setup

ill provide screenshots of anything u want, i just wanna know if im missing anything

[cinder basin]

That's strange, can you show your input action asset?

[spice tusk]

sure thing

the simplest one is just this

the move one doesnt matter, cuz this doesnt work either

and it should as its only meant to detect spacebar

@cinder basin

its just really confusing as ive done everything right to my understanding

ok i think i have an idea on a fix

nvm didnt fix

lol still wont work

[left ore]

Me and you same boat, but I can’t get my vehicle to work, menu and player is ok

[spice tusk]

the documentation is pretty bare

[zinc stump]

There are examples on the package manager page of input manager you can import and compare how it should be setup.

[left ore]

After importing the sample how to view?

[zinc stump]

Examples would be in you Assets folder.

You can reimport again and see the paths

[left ore]

Why would it not just be added to your inputactions

Hm ok

[zinc stump]

Last time I looked at them they described 3 different ways to use input system

There's also large forum thread with explanations and examples

It's pinned in this channel as well

[left ore]

It’s the pointing in the right direction really is what I’m asking not to solve it for me just fyi and Ty much appreciated

[zinc stump]

Good, because I haven't touched it for a while.

[spice tusk]

decided to switch from playerinput component to c# script, works but i woulda preferred to use the unity type system

[left ore]

Still lost, do I need to remove the car controller and make a new one? The car would use the same controls as the player so shouldn’t it work if I set the player input on the vehicle aswell to the same control sceme as player, I just don’t understand why I’m so confused, looking at videos 10 times, nothing explains switching from player to vehicle with touch atleast that I know of if there is some more info somewhere that I’m missing

https://1drv.ms/f/s!AslgmHVrNMsMy0gxbk_VnHI_iA-O

[left ore]

how do i make the X on a controller register as E on keyboard?

https://1drv.ms/u/s!AslgmHVrNMsMy14XbaAwV8Qe8B3k?e=kaAHsA

[cinder basin]

Oops, sorry you couldn't get it working in your preferred way, but you may try reinstalling the package or creating a new input action asset and see if it solves the issue. I've looked at the screenshots you sent didn't find any stuff that'd prevent it from working..

[cinder basin]

Isn't 'E' mapped already as I'm seeing 'E[keyboard]' from the screenshot?

[left ore]

ok, so from there, i go to the vehicles player input in the inspector, select invoke Unity Event, drop down Events>player> enterexit and there is no option to add control im stuck here

[left ore]

i drag the player/vehicle to the enter exit callbackContext, select PlayerInput i dont see the control

i dont actually need E key just E key triggers the event, now i need controller X button to act as E button

you can check the other scripts in the onedrive

[cinder basin]

Did you get that setup as in the image?

[left ore]

gettinginout.cs controls the E key and disabling vehicle/player

[left ore]

https://1drv.ms/u/s!AslgmHVrNMsMy1_oXILOsv-vQ8L1?e=eZUWAe

[cinder basin]

Rename to 'EnterExit' in the N'o Function' drop down you should probably see sth like, yourscript.OnEnterExit

[left ore]

ok, new screenshots in link above

[cinder basin]

Also make sure you have this setup in your script:
public void OnEnterExit(InputAction.CallbackContext context) {//Logic}

In your input Action asset, rename enterexit to EnterExit

[cinder basin]

Sorry for the bad code formatting as I'm currently on mobile...

[cinder basin]

Where's the link?

[left ore]

its the same folder as link above

https://1drv.ms/u/s!AslgmHVrNMsMy0gxbk_VnHI_iA-O?e=RXo3M9

[cinder basin]

Why the 'enterExitKey' field ?
Isn't that meant to be handled by the input action you setup?

[left ore]

not sure how to sort that dont think i put it in the right place, still not showing, no errors tho

[left ore]

this is to get in and out of the car, it was with E key, now i need to change to controller

maybe i am mixing old and new?

[cinder basin]

Oh I see

[left ore]

ive watched the videos 50 times today lol all they explain is movement

player.transform blah

not what im after

[cinder basin]

Haha

[left ore]

anyways so i guess i need to rethink this not sure

get rid of the gettinginout

🤷

ive tried not using it, that removes errors about input system when on android platform, but taking a step back, on PC version and making sure to get controls working on controller as backup

everything else is fine, i can get menu to work aswell

but secondary "player" a vehicle is giving me a hard time

think my brain is just mush trying to solve something so simple i cant think anymore

btw havent made a game in like 10-15yrs, now im just trying to get back into it while making a friend into a game lol, not looking for selling production just it works lol

[cinder basin]

Sorry it's giving you a hard time, def there'd be a fix for this

[left ore]

for sure

[left ore]

Ibebs your great, you deserve the world, thx for your time

[spice tusk]

no worries, i tried all that, i dont think im gonna figure it out easily so for now ill stick to c# scripts

the script solution isnt too bad, its just a matter of figuring out the implementation

[ancient axle]

Anyone dealt with reversed mouse buttons in the new Input System? It doesn't seem to recognize them.

[austere grotto]

Reversed mouse buttons?

Like in your os settings?

[barren locust]

I'm having some trouble with the new Input System where my mouse movement is almost "snappy"

It's like the mouse delta gets locked at zero for a split second then continues normally

it's super distracting for gameplay and I couldn't find anyone online who had the same problem

this is all I have

[wraith bloom]

I'm making a platformer controller using the new Input System and trying to control Smooth movement for jumping and moving... I'm pretty sure I can lerp, slerp or SmoothDamp over the values. The problem now is I'm using a Player Input Component and Unity Events to control the Move and Jump.... And I cannot figure out where to add the Vector2.SmoothDamp.

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

public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] private Rigidbody2D rb;

    [SerializeField] private Transform groundCheck;
    
    [SerializeField] private LayerMask groundLayer;
    private float _horizontal;
    
    private const float Speed = 8f;
    
    private float jumpingPower = 16f;
    private bool _isFacingRight = true;

    private const float GroundedRadius = 0.2f;

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        rb.velocity = new Vector2(_horizontal * Speed, rb.velocity.y);
        
        if (!_isFacingRight && _horizontal > 0f || _isFacingRight && _horizontal < 0f)
        {
            Flip();
        }
    }

    public void Move(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
    {
        _horizontal = context.ReadValue<Vector2>().x;
    }
    
    public void Jump(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
    {
        if (context.performed && IsGrounded())
        {
            rb.velocity = new Vector2(rb.velocity.x, jumpingPower);
        }

        if (context.canceled && rb.velocity.y > 0f)
        {
            var velocity = rb.velocity;
            var gravity = rb.gravityScale;
            velocity = new Vector2(velocity.x, -(velocity.y * gravity * 2f));
            
            rb.velocity += velocity;
        }
    }
    private bool IsGrounded()
    {
        return Physics2D.OverlapCircle(groundCheck.position, GroundedRadius, groundLayer);
    }

    private void Flip()
    {
        _isFacingRight = !_isFacingRight;
        var transform1 = transform;
        Vector3 localScale = transform1.localScale;
        localScale.x *= -1f;
        transform1.localScale = localScale;
    }


}

Any advice?

[left ore]

I want to take a stab and say somewhere you have conflicting controls, as this would happen with my character and the movement would cut out unless I move the stick again. Just a guess for u

[toxic junco]

Hey everyone, just wondering if anyone has also had a problem with WebGL & Gamepad support. Strangely, only in WebGL, my gamepad sticks (which are bound to a Vector2 composite) wont register Up and Down. Left and Right work though as well as all other buttons.
I've tried searching around without much success. It only happens in WebGL, in Chrome & Firefox, Editor / Win / Linux builds all work fine. My controller works fine on https://gamepad-tester.com/. I tried making a new Project in a 2022 Version of Unity and I'm having the same problem.

[foggy ginkgo]

is unitys new input system sending each frame like the old one the events , or does it only respond to the event when it actually happens

like in the old one its checking if that event has happened

is it under the hood also checking each frame if it has haeppened in the new input system ?

[quasi dove]

When trying navigate my main menu, things seem to work fine if I go from Start -> Controller.

However, if I click anywhere on the screen with the mouse, then attempt to use the controller, the controller will no longer select anything, at all.

Better yet, why is it as well that Controller input sends "Is Selected" but Mouse is "Is Highlighted"

Thats highly annoying...

[toxic junco]

I'm not entirely sure if this is what you're after but in the Input System UI Input Module, there is the Deselect On Background Click option, turning that off may be what you need?

[quasi dove]

That fixed the mouse issue.

However, now when I swap from Controller -> Mouse. One of the UI buttons now remains always "Selected" because Hightlighted (Which the mouse provides) != Selected (Which the keyboard/Controller provides)

I'm assuming Im going to have to code something to sort this out vs it just being built into unity

[toxic junco]

Ah I see. So ideally once you move the mouse the selection should disappear?

[quasi dove]

Correct.

And then when swapping from Mouse -> Keyboard, Ideally:

Hightlighted = Nothing
Selected = EventSystems first selected.

[barren locust]

I actually figured it out and this is something I didn't see coming. I found a post on Reddit saying that you shouldn't multiply your mouse movement by Time.deltaTime, and lo and behold, I was doing exactly that

So I removed that multiplication, lowered my sens and it was solved

Thank you for reaching out though

[barren locust]

Oh also I think that's a problem with your Dead Zone settings for the controller

[left ore]

It was multiple controls, never touched dead zones, but cool

[lusty perch]

How can I control the cinemachine orbital transposer with scroll wheel? I'm porting from using input manager and having trouble here. I have the input provider on the camera. I think I need to use the XY Axis slot, and it wants a vector2.

[tame oracle]

I got a question so basically I’m trying to add a 2d vector component and it won’t show up anyone know why

[austere grotto]

1. Make sure your input action is set up as:
   Action Type: Value
   Control Type: Vector2

2. It was renamed to "up left right down composite" instead of "2D vector composite".

[wraith bloom]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/72878115/how-to-control-the-curve-of-a-jump-mechanic-in-unity-while-using-the-rigidbody2d Any thoughts?

[plain kelp]

Hello ! I am using the new input system to make my player look into the direction of my mouse.
The issue is that after some research, the Mouse.current.position.ReadValue() or playerInput.actions["LookDirection"].ReadValue<Vector2>(); are not detecting my mouse position nor movement.
Does someone know how to fix this please 🙂 ?

[narrow coral]

Hi! I'm trying to get my 3d character to move a set distance on a keypress but I'm struggling to figure out how to get it to move that distance in the direction that you are facing.

[idle grotto]

You can move you character in the direction transform.forward, that is the vector pointing in the direction of the given transform.

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Transform-forward.html

[plain kelp]

I think that a part of my issue is link to the editor mode and more precisely the "window mode" (I mean when you don't maximize the window) because I just found out that when the window is maximized, the mouse position work but in normal small game window, it doesn't

[dense verge]

I just spent hours on a massive, massive brick wall and it's very discouraging. I had a Unity project with all my HP Reverb G2 buttons implemented, I had the player movement done, everything. Now, no matter what I do, I don't get any input at all from the motion controllers. Even clicking Listen on the Input Action I already set up - nothing. I even made a brand new project, imported the MRTK again, added OpenXR, and created an input action, then when I go to Listen, I get nothing. SteamVR is running but I guess it doesn't make any difference since it looks like it just plays through the Mixed Reality Portal.

[grim swan]

woah the input system has its own channel?

[jagged wyvern]

thats how complicated it is

[viral radish]

how do check check if pressing shift button

[sullen imp]

if you're getting started with the new input system i would recommend following a course on how to use it

[bold aurora]

I changed an action map name and now im getting this error, how can i "remake" my c# script?

[austere grotto]

in the inspector for the input actions asset there's a button to generate it or something like that

[bold aurora]

i deleted and remaded it keeps giving me errors

[austere grotto]

deleted and remade what

[bold aurora]

the c# script

[austere grotto]

the C# script is actually kind of irrelevant to the PLayerInput component

so I'm not sure why it matters

[bold aurora]

https://imgur.com/89aZyIu
is something wrong with this?

[austere grotto]

the error you are getting is from a PlayerInput component

yes that's the PlayerInput component

[bold aurora]

now is not giving any errors what lol..

[austere grotto]

I'd say you probably had a function mapped to an action in the "Player" action map and now you deleted that action map or osmething

[bold aurora]

I think that the default map was saying player before ye

somehow it didnt update or something

ok it works thankfully

[sinful ferry]

ok really stupid question i have openXr setup but i just want to put into a script if i press the say A button on my touch controller then do something. like

  //do something
}

how do i do this?

[flat ocean]

I have a newbie to Unity question. I’ve tried googling it and can’t find the answer. I’ve managed to implement movement to a sphere with keyboard inputs and an now trying to implement movement to a person. Ive made a model in a external software and have managed to implement animations. However I can’t implement movement with keyboard inputs. Idk what I’m doing wrong. How do I get past this dead end? - http://pastie.org/p/0gBN7OQ8M6o8VRycUk5H4C

[warped folio]

hi, new to coding/unity in general
after reading a bit about Update() and how it is recommended to check for inputs in the old input system within Update() to avoid input loss, I was wondering how that applies to the new input system

[austere grotto]

if you poll for input, your polling should match the setting you have for the input system (it can be set to poll each frame (Update) or each physics frame (FixedUpdate)
If you use events, you don't poll anyway so it doesn't matter

[gleaming oar]

that's the advantage of the new input system that people still don't seem to understand

you don't end up with juggling the update and fixedupdate loop anymore, it's event driven and will reliably detect input with fewer physics glitches

[tame oracle]

guys, How do I make a long press repeat the function I know it must be from the input action asset but i dont know how to set it up.
I have solved the problem temporarily by using the update function but I want to know is there a way to not use update?

[austere grotto]

You must either use Update or a coroutine. The input system won't repeatedly call something for you

[tame oracle]

I see, thanks

[cyan rivet]

Hello, a very quick question if anyone can help please. I am starting to get to grips with the new input system, however on setting up a very basic scene for testing I obviously don't understand how the X and Y inputs work, as left stick movement on the gamepad is moving by character side to side (fine) but also up and down, rather than forwards and backwards. Obviously this is due to Unity using Y axis for 'up', would anyone know the very simple thing I have missed here please? Many thanks in advance.

[mighty ivy]

so can you add a playerinput script and tell it which device/user it should manage?

it seems playerinput is the only way offered to handle mutliple local players, but it suggests the gameobject is instantiated by playerinput which isnt really what i want to do

[solar kite]

Do I subscribe to all events on awake for an input even if that action map isn't enabled to start?

Like I have UI and player and vehicle action maps. Do I subscribe to all even though UI is the only one to initially be enabled

[austere grotto]

You can subscribe before it's enabled, no problem

[lethal pond]

How can we use the c# events to get input from player input component??

[spare elk]

Hey guys, I'm getting this really weird issue with the input system. I'm using the OnXXX() function to receive analog stick movements from a gamepad, but the vector2 seems to flicker between the real value and 0. This only happens when I'm clicked into the game window, but not when I click on any of the editor panels. I've checked everything and can't seem to fix it. Any ideas?

[novel wren]

hey quick question, we shifted our project to the new Unity input system and consequently our event system changed to use the "Input system UI input module" instead of the "Stand alone input module" as well. For some reason this called callback functions like OnPointerClick() to not work anymore. Anyone got any idea on how this can be fixed or are the callbacks just not supported by the new input system?[resolved]

[sullen lintel]

can u show the script u have for movement or input perhaps

[spare elk]

https://pastecode.io/s/xy3rsbsh

[warped folio]

is there a difference between using this

vs

private void OnEnable()
{
Player.Move.performed += movement;
}

[jagged wyvern]

You'd need to unsubscribe manually with script

May or may not be a problem depending on how ur project is set up

[ripe bobcat]

Hey, im switching to the new input system, i have a script for 2d movement,
And i get this error when pressing a move key

does this help ?https://forum.unity.com/threads/solved-invalidoperationexception-while-executing-performed-callbacks.883633/

[ripe bobcat]

Yeah i fixed it already, i made a mistake with creating the profiles

But thank you anyway! 🙂

I switched to this powerfull new input system today, and i need to get used to it, cus its more complex then i thought it was, but the possibilities are amazing! 🙂

But i had to figure out the 1D axis for the error that i had, and i found it, so its working perfectly fine now. I can't say that i miss the old input system 😂 But i think learning this new system is a challenge

[old matrix]

what do these errors mean? I went from 2020 to 2021 and these started popping up. Is it a UI Toolkit thing?

also got these when stopping execution

[spare elk]

Is there a way to print the name of the input device currently sending inputs? [Resolved]

I have a feeling this issue is because I'm using a JoyCon with software to map it to xinput, but unity is capturing both the raw and the mapped inputs, causing it to constantly switch input devices, and therefore cause stuttering when focused on the game window. [Confirmed]

[cinder basin]

Input debugger window?

Yep, the input system seems to be switch between gamepad and joystick... follow up question, how do I make it completely ignore / disable all inputs except for the gamepad? [Resolved]

If I go into input debugger and manually disable the device it fixes the issue, but this resets when closing

[cinder basin]

Inside your playerInput component, I think there's an option for that, that's if you have their actions setup separately already

[cinder basin]

Sadly Yeah

[spare elk]

This is what I see inside the playerInput

I could manually remove the devices from the playerInput c# script

[cinder basin]

Are all those actions set to use only gamepad?

[cinder basin]

Are you asking?

[spare elk]

They're restricted to gamepad, but unity still captures inputs from the other controller and stutters when it switches, even though there's no actionmap for them

[cinder basin]

Oops, sad stuff

[cinder basin]

Use listen, to reference a specific controller here 👆

[spare elk]

That's already how it's set up unfortunately

[cinder basin]

Mine is setup this way, it maps to the actual controller:

[spare elk]

Got it working, I think the issue was before playerInput, where Unity was switching HID device constantly because of the JoyCon motion sensor being mapped as a joystick. I found a way to block the raw HID device though. Thanks for your help 🙂

Hey, last time I checked there was no easy way to check if a button is currently pressed…
Is there now a smooth option?

With the new input system

[jagged wyvern]

Depends

[ripe bobcat]

You can use .triggered to check if a button is pressed.
So:

var wasPressed = action.triggered && action.ReadValue<float>() > 0;

var wasReleased = action.triggered && action.ReadValue<float>() == default;

Or you can set smt up like this:

        if (InputManager.GetInstance(). GetSubmitPressed())

Is that what u ment?

[royal pagoda]

Is the output the hole time true while I press the button?

Or just at the frame where I press it down

Hi im following a tutorial for the input system but for some reason for them theres an option to drag the Controls script into Controls in unity but for me its not there. how would i fix it?

[austere grotto]

What tutorial are you following?
Why are you writing @Controls? I'm led to believe that's the name of the auto-generated C# class from the input system but those are not and never have been serializable

if it's the auto generated class you normally just create it with new e.g. controls = new Controls();

[sacred void]

does anyone know any good tutorial to know how the new input system works?

[ripe bobcat]

I personally watched the tutorial of Brackeys, also, reading over the wiki & unity guides is probably even a better way to learn, also, just start coding with the new input system and just look up the things u are struggling with, that is IMO the best way to learn.

        controls.Enable(); &         controls.Disable();

Does someone know if you HAVE to place those 2 in void onEnable and onDisable ?
Or can i use void start as well

[austere grotto]

You can do whatever you want.

[ripe bobcat]

But you do need to enable and disable them right?
Ive heard that you can get massive issues when not doing so

[austere grotto]

If you don't enable it, it won't be enabled

If you don't disable it, it will remain enabled

The rest is up to you

If you want it to process input and perform your callbacks etc, you will have to enable it

[ripe bobcat]

Ive just figured out that if i want to use a key function (button) 1 time press, and i enable it in a void awake, it wont work and bug out, wit h a OnEnable it does work, so for some reason its forcing me to use onEnable.

Its not a big deal to use onEnable, but just wondering why its forcing me to use onEnable, since awake is also starting up at the very start of the script.

But it could be just me, it just seems a bit wierd ;p

[austere grotto]

it will definitely work in either place. The only difference would be if you enable it, then disable, then re-enable, OnEnable gets called again, Awake does not

[ripe bobcat]

Yeah but its not working for me if its in awake

Maybe i need to place awake above onEnable & update 🙃
I think i need sleep

😂

[austere grotto]

no, none of that matters

you'd have to show your code

[plain kelp]

Hello, is there any bug report room for the input system ? I am using the 2021.3.5f1 and my inputs doesn't work if I don't play the editor "game view" in full screen. Plus the mouse position is broken, I have to use the old system for the mouse position

[austere grotto]

[warped folio]

what would be the best way to check if a button is still being pressed?

right now my only solution would be to make a new function just to set a bool on .started and .canceled

[austere grotto]

you can poll the value, or use started/canceled

[warped folio]

I'm sorry, but I'm having a hard time trying to find out how to do just that from inside a different function (I'm new 🥺 )

[austere grotto]

wdym by "from inside a different function"?

either:

• poll the value of the InputAction each frame
  or:
• subscribe to started/canceled events to set a bool, which you read each frame

[warped folio]

I have a jumpsquat that is activated on jump press which is animated and then on a certain frame of that animation I have an animation event that I want to check to see if I'm still holding down that jump press to do a short jump vs normal jump

the animation event calls a separate function that does the check

am I going about this the wrong way?

[austere grotto]

what's the issue then?

[warped folio]

I don't know how to do that check

[austere grotto]

Have that animation event function either:

• read from the input action
• check your bool if you're doing the started/canceled

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.1/api/UnityEngine.InputSystem.InputAction.html#UnityEngine_InputSystem_InputAction_IsPressed

[warped folio]

oh I am just unintelligent then
this whole time I thought IsPressed() was from the old input system and couldn't be used

[austere grotto]

InputAction is the new input system

everything in UnityEngine.InputSystem is the new system

[warped folio]

I see now, thanks!

[austere grotto]

the old system is the UnityEngine.Input class

[torpid skiff]

Is it possible to use both the old and new input systems in the same project, on separate scenes, without the old one breaking?

[austere grotto]

sure

[torpid skiff]

Alright, how do I make both of them work, in the same project?

[austere grotto]

set active input handling to Both

[torpid skiff]

oh...

Its that simple?

Damn... I was just going there.

I set it and it works. Thank you @austere grotto for helping me so quickly with this.

[orchid night]

Hey y'all, I'm having a bit of a problem with the new input system and was wondering if anyone had any tips. I have a system setup where you walk up to something and press the a button, which then opens a UI list of buttons to choose between. Since the a button is also the button setup to select UI elements in my EventSystem, it auto fires when the window opens and auto selects the first in the list. Any way I can make it not fire on open?

also strangely it only happens the first time, every subsequent time it actually works as expected

relevant code: https://paste.ee/p/egZzH

[orchid night]

I came up with a workaround, but I'd still be interested in a proper fix if anyone can think of one. My workaround is to move the selection of the GameObject to Update so that it selects it the next update cycle

  private void Update()
  {
    if (!IsVisible || !Choices.Any() || EventSystem.current.currentSelectedGameObject != null) return;
    EventSystem.current.SetSelectedGameObject(transform.GetChild(0).gameObject);
  }

[austere grotto]

you could disable the ui action map until the UI is showing

[wraith rapids]

Hello everyone.
I'm facing a weird issue :

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.InputSystem;
public class Playermovement : MonoBehaviour
{

PlayerInput _playerInput;
 bool leftPressed;
void Awake()
{
    _playerInput = new PlayerInput();

    _playerInput.Controls.Left.started += OnLeft;
    _playerInput.Controls.Left.canceled += OnLeft;

}
void OnLeft(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
{
Debug.Log("Left button pressed");
leftPressed = context.ReadValueAsButton();

}

}

But when I press the Left button ("Q" in this case) I 've got the folowing message :

So "OnLeft" not found but the debug log message is displayed

[austere grotto]

#854851968446365696 for how to post code here

[austere grotto]

Looks like you're mixing up two different approaches here

You have a PlayerInput component with the SendMessages/BroadcastMessages mode enabled

that is what is giving you that error

you're then separately manually subscribing to input actions in your code

So your manually subscribed thing is working, but the broadcast messages thing is giving the error, because it expects you to have a method with an InputValue parameter, not a CallbackContext

The solution is to pick one approach or the other, not both.

[wraith rapids]

ok ok I understand now

thanks a lot

[orchid night]

Good suggestion, I thought simply switching the current active action map would be enough, but disabling it fully works. Thanks!

[proven nexus]

I have the mouseX and mouseY in my games project settings set to 1.5 but when I play the built version of the game it is a whole lot higher. Any idea why?

[austere grotto]

I have the mouseX and mouseY in my games project settings set to 1.5
What does this mean?

[proven nexus]

sorry i meant to say I have their sensitivity set to 1.5

[austere grotto]

If you're seeing differences in the built game especially related to the "speed" of something, 95% of the time you have code that is framerate dependent

for mouse sensitivity - I would guess you're probably doing something inappropriate with your mouse input like multiplying it by deltaTime

[proven nexus]

ok I found the issue

thanks

[warped folio]

I just noticed there's a PlayerInputs and a PlayerInput

now I'm not sure if I am using the right one

[delicate wind]

does anyone could help me? im trying to put if (view.IsMine) in this code but its just saying error

[glass yacht]

1. Does this have something to do with the input system?
2. Post code using our guidelines mentioned in #854851968446365696

[austere grotto]

PlayerInput is the only one that is part of the input system. if you have something called "PlayerInputs" it's something you created. Possible the auto-generated class file from your input actions asset?

[warped folio]

oh it is

yeah the auto generated one

[manic dirge]

How can I handle input from two gamepads. I've looked up some videos online, but the solutions are unsatisfactory because I don't want to spawn in a player prefab, I just want to separate the input from two gamepads.

[left quarry]

Hi, I've been trying to use the new input system, but when I try to change the value of a binding in the inspector via double click it doesn't respond

Anyone know why?

(talking about this menu btw)

[robust bear]

So like, you can't add a new binding then?

[left quarry]

I can add more bindings, but they just have the default value of <no binding>

[robust bear]

Ok, so the thing you highlighted is the button you are double clicking? If not please sent an image of what you are double clicking

[left quarry]

The part I am double clicking is where is says <No Binding>

[austere grotto]

you have to press the + to add a binding

[left quarry]

I have done that, which makes the <No Binding> part, but I can't change the value of these bindings

[robust bear]

Hmmm, maybe you have to do something in the settings panel, and add something from there, it could also be a drag and drop panel. I'm sorry for not being able to help much just haven't really worked with it in awhile/:

[austere grotto]

seems like a UI bug

do me a favor what happens if you put an InputAction field directly in the Weapons script?

Does the UI work correctly then?

[left quarry]

No

Another weird thing that I have noticed is that the - sign to remove the bindings I work is always greyed out, and only sometimes actually works

[austere grotto]

Hmm seems like a bug I guess

I don't use direct InputActions usually

Typcially I use an input actions asset

[left quarry]

Should I try a reinstall to fix?

[austere grotto]

what version of unity / input system are you on

see if you can update either/both of those

[austere grotto]

ehhh maybe because you're on an alpha version of Unity

You might have better luck with an LTS or at least a Tech Stream release

[left quarry]

will Unity let me downgrade my project?

Also, for future reference, are Alphas or Betas usually more stable?

[austere grotto]

not in a happy way

[austere grotto]

betas are more stable than alpha

but neither is stable

they are experimental

[left quarry]

well then I guess I'll just go to 2022.2.0b1, last time I had an editor bug it got fixed by a very small upgrade about the same size as this one

[barren dust]

Can anyone tell me offhand what the equivalent of Input.GetKeyDown is in the new input system? With the code below, pressing any of the buttons set up in the input actions simply rotates the camera once by whatever the value of rotationSpeed is, whereas what I want is continuous movement while the key is held down.

public void RotationControls(InputAction.CallbackContext inputValue) { { float value = inputValue.ReadValue<Vector2>().x; transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0f, value * rotationSpeed + transform.rotation.eulerAngles.y, 0f); } }

[austere grotto]

The transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0f, value * rotationSpeed + transform.rotation.eulerAngles.y, 0f); part needs to go in Update

and value needs to be a member variable

and you don't need those extra brackets { }

[barren dust]

oh those brackets are leftover from an old if and I forgot to remove them

[austere grotto]

also eulerAngles is a funky way of doing this. Would be cleaner and less susceptible to gimbal lock to do this:

transform.Rotate(0, value * rotationSpeed * Time.deltaTime, 0, Space.World);```

[barren dust]

Thanks, I will try those changes

[left quarry]

So after update it still does not work 🤔

Any ideas?

because im really lost here

[austere grotto]

well you went to another beta version of Unity right?

Maybe try a released version

And/or file a bug report

[left quarry]

how?

do i just download latest LTS?

[austere grotto]

sure

anythign that's not alpha or beta

[left quarry]

and how do I file a bug report

[austere grotto]

https://unity3d.com/unity/qa/bug-reporting

[shut aspen]

With the new input system, how can you detect whether they're using WASD or gamepad? I want to use L-Shift for run if they're on keyboard, but just the L-stick magnitude if they're on controller.

[barren dust]

You can either set up control schemes that require specific controller types, or you can just define different inputs in your existing action map. AFAIK they are equally valid methods.
