Summary - Advanced input

Combine the advanced input project with a single summary task.

Recap of the advanced input project

In this project you built the input stack from the package up: install Input System from the Package Manager, then define actions and bindings with a .inputactions asset. The PlayerInput component listens to the actions, and Generate C# Class gives a compile-time checked wrapper.

InputAction jump = new InputAction(name: "Jump", type: InputActionType.Button);
jump.AddBinding("<Keyboard>/space");
jump.Enable();
Debug.Log("Hazir");

With gamepad bindings and control schemes the same game runs on keyboard and gamepad.

Exercise Print the input summary

Write a MonoBehaviour named GirdiOzeti. In Start declare a string array named eylemler holding Move and Jump. Fill a second array named baglamalar with <Gamepad>/leftStick and <Keyboard>/space in order. Walk both arrays with a for loop and print each pair with Debug.Log(eylemler[i] + " -> " + baglamalar[i]). After the loop call Debug.Log("Toplam: " + eylemler.Length).

Show example solution

using UnityEngine;

public class GirdiOzeti : MonoBehaviour
{
    void Start()
    {
        string[] eylemler = { "Move", "Jump" };
        string[] baglamalar = { "<Gamepad>/leftStick", "<Keyboard>/space" };

        for (int i = 0; i < eylemler.Length; i++)
        {
            Debug.Log(eylemler[i] + " -> " + baglamalar[i]);
        }

        Debug.Log("Toplam: " + eylemler.Length);
    }
}

Test yourself

Which event fires when an action actually happens?
- performed
- started
- canceled
- enabled
Show answer

performed — started is the beginning of the input, performed is the action happening, and canceled is the input being released; enabled is not an event but the name of the Enable method.

Write the action type

InputAction jump = new InputAction(name: "Jump", type: InputActionType.____);

Show answer

InputAction jump = new InputAction(name: "Jump", type: InputActionType.Button);
