I presume youre using the new input system, yes?

#

yeah

#

i did notice that the current keyboard has properties for each key's keycontrol

#

but there doesnt seem to be one for tilde

#

Okay so to get the ~ key, you need to hold down shift and then press the key

#

So you need to have a modifier

#

true, i mean, i guess that by the "tilde" key i meant more like, give me a sec

#

the key to the left of the number 1 on a qwerty layout

#

the one that's usually used for opening a commandline in some games

#

(IE: counter strike)

#

Right. So here you go.

#

Theres your input actions setup

grim void Jul 22, 2023, 9:26 PM

#

aight... i think i'll have to probably generate a C# class for my actions then

#

unless, hm. i do have the player using the playerinput class, so i could load the InputActionAssets and find the control guid and check if its being pressed or not

And then when you're scripting it in whatever code you need, you're going to use a line thats something along the lines of

  private boolean isPressed;

  private void Awake()  
  {
    nebbyControls = new NebbyControls();
  }

  private void Update()  
  {
    isPressed = nebbyControls.Tilde.Example.triggered();
  }

#

Does that make sense?

#

Tilde is your Action map

#

Example is your Action

#

Your action type is a button

#

So it will return a float either 1 or 0

#

And then for your action example, youve got one binding with one modifier

#

The binding being the ` key and the modifier being the left shift

#

Does that help at all?

#

yeah

#

it does

#

thanks
