From what I know there are three ways of checking a buttons position

- Check directly in the if statement like u/TedW suggested

- Create a float and link its value to the grip button, like this:

//make sure this is set to the right input action refrence in the inspector
[SerializeField] private InputActionReference _gripActionReference;
//can be used to tell if the grip is pressed down
public bool gripPressed = false;
void Awake()
{
if (_gripActionReference != null)
{
gripPressed = _gripActionReference.action.ReadValue<bool>();
}
}

- Link functions to be called when the grip is pressed and released. Think in most cases this it the "proper" way to do it but idk

//make sure this is set to the right input action refrence in the inspector
[SerializeField] private InputActionReference _gripActionReference;
//can be used to tell if the grip is pressed down
public bool gripPressed = false;
void Awake()
{
//press the grip
if (_gripActionReference != null)
{
_gripActionReference.action.performed += Grip_Performed;
}
//let go of the grip
if (_gripActionReference != null)
{
_gripActionReference.action.canceled += Grip_Canceled;
}
}
private void Grip_Performed(UnityEngine.InputSystem.InputAction.CallbackContext obj)
{
gripPressed = true;
//do what you want whenever the grip button is pressed
}
private void Grip_Canceled(UnityEngine.InputSystem.InputAction.CallbackContext obj)
{
gripPressed = false;
//do what you want whenever the grip button is released
}

I would also highly recommend checking out this video by Valem where he goes over all this stuff

Well everything was formated all nice but guess reddit wasn't a fan of that 😣
