This can also be used for UI controls - so that when a menu is opened the player object stops responding and the controls for a gamepad now navigate through a menu. This can be useful for different control schemes for example if your player can hop in a car or maybe on a horse and the controls will be different. Each Input Action asset can have multiple action maps. On the left, you’ll see a column for “Action Maps.” These are essentially a set of inputs that can be grouped together. But! The basics aren’t too complex and I’m going to try and look at some of the more common use cases. This is where all the setup happens and there’s a lot going on! There are way more options in this window than could possibly be covered in this video or even several more videos.
UNITY 5 PALETTE SWAP SINGLE OBJECT WINDOWS
Personally, I found this a bit confusing when first getting started as it feels different than other Unity windows and functionality. So if you have more than one input action asset, you will need to open additional windows - there is no way to toggle this window to another asset. With the asset created you can select it and then in the inspector press “edit asset.” This will open a window specific to THIS input action asset. Make sure to give the asset a good name as you’ll be using this name quite often. This is done like any other asset, by right-clicking in a project folder or using the asset menu. Next, we need to create a new “Input Actions” asset. If you can’t get the new system to function, this setting would be worth checking. The new input system does take some time and patience to learn - doubly so if you are used to the old system, but hopefully, you’ll agree the effort is worth it. So yeah! Those are pretty fantastic reasons.
UNITY 5 PALETTE SWAP SINGLE OBJECT UPDATE
AND! In the case that you do need to do some polling of an input value (think similar to the old system in an update function), it’s much easier to see what buttons are being pressed and what those input values look like. This makes it so much easier to see if a device is recognized and functioning properly. Input debug system! Unity provides an input debugger so you can see the exact values, in real-time, of your system’s input. While you will still need to “poll” values every frame for things like player or camera motion, button presses for other bits such as jumping or shooting no longer need to clog an update function! While this adds some perceived complexity - especially if you don’t feel comfortable with events - but it is an awesome feature. It’s Event-Based! When an action is started, completed (performed), or canceled an event can be called.
Frankly, I was shocked how easily I could add a gamepad and easily switch back and forth between it and a keyboard. If you want players to be able to use multiple devices OR you are developing for multiple platforms the new system makes it very very easy to do so. Three reasons I’ve stolen, but they are good reasons to use the new Input System.
