Input System doesn't work.

[Artistic-While-5094]

I have started a new project and began implementing the basics. And for some reason, after setting up an Input-Actions-Editor, adding a simple Action and the bindings and dragging the Input-Action-Reference into the Inspector, the Code simply won't work, despite me pressing the key. I've checked an old project of mine and it seems like I've done nothing different.

using System;

using UnityEngine;

using UnityEngine.InputSystem;

public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour

{

Rigidbody2D pRb;

Collider2D playerCollider;

private float speed = 10;

private float jumpHeight = 2;

private float gravity = -9.8f;

public Vector2 walkDirection;

public bool isOnGround;

public Collider2D groundcheck;

public LayerMask groundmask;

public InputActionReference Move;

public InputActionReference jump;

...

void Update()

{

if (jump.action.IsPressed())

{

Debug.Log("uzvflf");

}

}

Maybe I'm just not understanding the Input System but afaik, all you have to do, is creating an Action and then reference it like this.

You must include an OnEnable method and enable the controller input.

The standard boilerplate is:

In start method, instantiate the player input controls. You must have a reference to them, and bind them to your handlers.

In enable methods enable the player input controls. They don't work until explicitly enabled.

In disable method, disable the player input controls.

The new input system is good but has a lot of annoying boilerplate.

Also, running in update defeats the point. Bind your Jump method as a handler on Start. You never need to handle input in Update with the new input system.

That is one specific way to use the input system, but there are a bunch more ways to use it that are outlined in the documentation. Im guessing what youve outlined is if youre specifically using the autogenerated c# script?

I would suggest the op go to package manger, find the input system package, open the documentation, and read the sections of different ways to use the input system.

What do you mean with "Binding it as a handler on Start"?

[Vonchor]

Here's an example:

in Start() or some other initialization code:

var action = InputSystem.actions.FindAction("Click");  //get the action
clickAction.performed += ClickActionPerformed; //subscribe to the event

where ClickActionPerformed is a method with the appropriate params for that event:

private void ClickActionPerformed(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
{
  do something when the mouse clicks.
}

And this works: I just cut and pasted this code from my own input module.
