Switching Action Maps in Unity's Input System

[@DanDectis]

Seems like every time I go searching for how to solve my next game development problem, I land on your videos! Thank you for your work. It has been an enormous help!

I love that you were the first result when I googled this problem. Its nice to know someone is on top of making these tutorials.

Straight to the point and super accurate. (Still works great as of 2022.3.12f1). Thanks, Sam!

Thank you so much!! i've been searching for an hour how to do this, this helped so much, you are so underrated!)

When I use the method SwitchCurrentActionMap on playerInput i get an error of that the function doesn't exist

[@David-gu8hv]

Excellent! Thanks @samyam!

[@kurbol]

Very clear video. Thank you!

[@seanlaughlin4143]

Can you explain when you create your OWN UI action map in your custom just as you did why the UI elements then break? Just switching the Actions Assets to your Own doesn't seem to do the trick from my own understanding. The only way I can get the UI elements to work is to use the Default Input Actions for UI elements??

[@SuperDutchrutter]

Very helpful thanks for the tutorial! Likely saved me a bunch of time.

[@NostalgiaNote]

That's GodSent Good Info for us little game developers ~~

[@alejandrogomez4158]

Just discovered your videos and I'm amazed at the amount of quality. Really good job. I've been having trouble with Unity's new input system recently. Do you by chance know how execute different code depending on the input device? For example, aiming with the mouse (top down perspective) uses different calculations than aiming with a controller's left stick. Again, great job on the videos!

[@samyam]

Thank you so much! Make sure you have 2 control schemes declared in your input action asset, one for your mouse/keyboard and one for your controller (kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2a6pKCierR5n6M). You can check the current control scheme by doing playerInput.currentControlScheme. You can also subscribe to a playerinput event controlsChangedEvent and get notified when the player switches to another control scheme docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.0/api/UnityEngine.InputSystem.PlayerInput.html And execute code depending on what control scheme the player is currently using. forum.unity.com/threads/detect-most-recent-input-device-type.753206/

@@samyam thank you! This helps a lot I’ll check these out!

[@MayurChauhan1995]

Can you make a video on getting values from sensors using unity's new input system or provide some stuff that can help to get through it, because there is not any video or proper documentation more code available on the internet to get value from sensors using new input system.

[@samyam]

That's on my list! Although my list is very long so I'm not sure when I will release it. The documentation isn't great but here are some links: docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.0/manual/Sensors.html forum.unity.com/threads/tutorial-for-input-system-and-accelerometer-gyro.887758/

[@wulumgames]

This was really enlightening.

[@remus-alexandrusimion3439]

Quick question: I am using the UI Toolkit and i have a UIDocument disabled. However, whenever i press Space it triggers a button from that UIDocument instead of doing my binding. Is this also solvable by disabling/changing the binding in the Event System? Or will it cause other unwanted behavior?

[@samyam]

I don’t have experience with the UI Toolkit yet unfortunately 😞

[@cameronpheiffer5233]

Samyam would you be able to make a video on Local multiplayer Third person cameras ? Maybe a camera that can rotate around the player with the right gamepad stick And movement on the left gamepad controller ?

[@cameronpheiffer5233]

I’m trying to create a Third person character for my local multiplayer players but can’t find any tutorials on how to make a third person camera for local multiplayer players. Would cinemachine be a way to approach this type of camera ?

[@samyam]

I have two third person videos with Cinemachine: Cinemachine Third Person Controller w/ Input System - Unity Tutorial kzbin.info/www/bejne/f57YdKuVjbuUe7M 3rd Person Shooter Controller with Cinemachine & Input System - Unity Tutorial kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZaldqmDZ9-Aprs I have a video on Local Multiplayer here kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZDWYaxrrqurj8k Local Multiplayer with the New Input System doesn't directly support Cinemachine, but there are ways around it forum.unity.com/threads/new-input-manager-split-screen-and-cinemachine.811134/

[@MaskedImposter]

I can't seem to get it working with the UI Event System... Is there a special way you have to enable it or something?

[@SMT-ks8yp]

Why can disable function not work both on maps and individual actions? I'm trying to make uninterruptable actions through disabling all or most actions and then enabling them after certain amount of time, but they still are active when they should not be despite creating and calling a method which contains nothing but Enable and Disable for what I want.

[@samyam]

You can definitely disable/enable individual actions. // Enable a single action. lookAction.Enable(); // Enable an en entire action map. gameplayActions.Enable();

[@SMT-ks8yp]

@@samyam I said I did this, but they are still working despite being disabled. Could it be because I'm trying to use generated code and PlayerInput component at the same time?

[@diliupg]

@@SMT-ks8yp this is what happens when you make videos watching other people's videos.

[@samyam]

Possibly yes you might have it enabled it on and disabled on the other. I recommend sticking to one solution instead of using both to minimize confusion.

[@SMT-ks8yp]

@@samyam fixed this, using generated code with interface feature. Now the question is how to refresh value actions once they are re-enabled. Like movement direction vector, so the character would not move where he was told to the moment move action was disabled. Is this already explained somewhere on the channel?

[@7WR777]

if i open my action map there is nothing there but all of the assigned keys work

[@mr.soulless904]

Hey samyam... i’ve been trying to create a Topdown Shooter game with a ps4 controller, but sadly I can’t aim with the right analog stick, please any help?

[@samyam]

What kind of error or problem are you having exactly? If you add the gamepad/ps4 right stick delta as an action, you can then read the vector2 value in code, and move the aim with the delta value you are reading

[@mr.soulless904]

@@samyam i’m not having any issues, i’m just kinda new to input system and I don’t know how to do it😓

[@wanchester6626]

hey, how can i use hold button in input system i have a button but i want it to work with holding not with 1 press

[@samyam]

You can add a Hold Interaction, in this video I go over interactions kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2i5ooKeaMStrrc

[@wanchester6626]

@@samyam thnx

[@AJMarraffa]

For me, playerInput.SwitchCurrentActionMap("MapToSwitchTo"); isn't working. However, using an instance of my Input Actions Asset and calling Enable() or Disable() on the maps manually *does* work. Hopefully I can manage to work out why this is. Great video, thanks!

[@vikneshtk]

Your videos on the new input system are really great. Keep the good work !. Just curious to know, how do we use two action maps without having a key binding to switch between them? Use case scenario is having a world space UI on the scene above a gameobject, where I have both object interactions and UI interactions. Hope you understand my question.

[@CyberAngel67]

UI deals with this automatically through the eventmanager

[@diliupg]

@@CyberAngel67 it does NOT happen with the new input system

[@CyberAngel67]

@@diliupg Yes it does, I have been studying and teaching the new input system for around 12 months now, and the new input system does deal with it out of the box. However, for something more peronsalised to your game, you need to set it up. Maybe you can share exactly what your issue is, so we can advise more precise steps on how to achieve it!

Hey Sam, just noticed when you mentioned patrons, there was a name АРТЕМ, i think it is russian name and pronounced "Artyom", just like protagonist from Metro games.

thanks!!! as always very usefull!!!

[@de0o0]

I still wonder which approach is better, use script or playerinput component. If it's just personal preference then I would use playerinput, it seems much more cleaner. Also I have one big blowmind about using newinput system in for example rts game. Inputs them selves are not that clean like in this example, there is no like character or something like that, there are functionalities like selecting or do action for some specific units buildings etc. Giving that example the question I want to ask is, What is the convention of creating action map? btw sooo good work! Very solid and to the point tutorial!! :)
