    {
        Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Mouse.current.position.ReadValue());
        RaycastHit hit;
        if(Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit, maxDistance: 3000))
        {

            lookPos = hit.point;
        }
        Vector3 lookDir = lookPos - transform.position;
        lookDir.y = 0;

        Quaternion targetRotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(lookDir);
        Quaternion playerRotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.transform.rotation, targetRotation, playerControlData.rotationSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
        transform.rotation = playerRotation;

    }

the above code works. How ever i would like to set up the new input system actions to move my player. This is the new input system yes but i would like to use a action instead of calling Mouse.current.position.ReadValue();
I have tried using
playerControls.PlayerMovement.Look.performed += i => mousePos = i.ReadValue<Vector2>(); how ever this "works" but doesnt return correctly when plugged into the raycast.

i.ReadValue in that context returns the mouse delta, not screen position

#

There's really no benefit in using events for this. You could do playerControls.PlayerMovement.Look.performed += i => mousePos = Mouse.current.position.ReadValue() but that would just add complexity for no reason

main violet

Ya, thats why im not using it. Im looking for how to use the Look in the InputMenu and not direct reading of Mouse.current.poition.ReadValue(); Ya i.ReadValue doesnt get screen poistion and thats where i want to know if i can somehow get screen poistion using i.something

What would be the point? It would give the exact same value as Mouse.current.position.ReadValue()

main violet
#

Allowing integration of controller support without needing to virtualize mouse

Controllers don't have a screen position

main violet
#

im aware. im mainly testing a theory i had

#

If i can find a way to get the values of the Look input that is set to non screen position and make it work as it was screen position values in theory i could do the same for controller

The only thing that's tracked for controller sticks is the movement delta. You can do i => mousePos += i.ReadValue<Vector2>() to keep track of the screen position yourself

#

(and clamp it to screen resolution if you want to restrict it to the view the same way as a mouse cursor)

main violet
#

maybe i could do something with Mouse.current.WarpCursorPosition(inputManager.mousePos);

#

Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(inputManager.mousePos); welp this worked

#

I guess unity was bugging out. As i tried this many time. Closed unity reoppened and boom working as it should have all along

main violet
#

Just like that controller is working perfect lol
