Access Input Action Properties via script...

Hello,

Can someone help me figure out the following syntax for accessing Input Action properties via script? I just want to be able to access a certain binding and display its name in a text field in the scene.

For example,
I have an input that has 3 bindings: "Keyboard/Space", "Gamepad/ButtonNorth" and "JoyStick/Trigger"

I want to be able to display one of the three bindings in a text field:
inputTxt1.text = [Whatever the syntax is to display Space]
inputTxt2.text = [Whatever the syntax is to display Button North]
inputTxt3.text = [Whatever the syntax is to display Trigger]

The thing is, I'm a bit lost on any syntax relating to accessing the Input Action properties, as I'm quite new with using the new input system. All tutorials I've found on the subject seem to skip this and use methods that are very different from my set-up (usually to display the input through a function, only when it's pressed), so I was hoping there would be someone here who can help me figure out how to access these properties manually.

Thanks in advance.

 

Ah ok, got it. Thanks (I had to tweak it a lot though, as my code doesn't like me using "var", nor did it like me assigning the InputAction field separately from the long text string to access the bindings. I ended up having to do this:

Code (CSharp):

1. shoot1Txt.text = playerControls.GetComponent<PlayerInput>().actions["Shoot"].GetBindingDisplayString(0);       //Display the current Shoot 1 button name

Incidentally, how do you use these properties within conditions? For example, you set the "GetBindingDisplayString(X)" to a number that's out of range from the number of bindings, but to stop an error, you put it in a condition like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. if (playerControls.GetComponent<PlayerInput>().actions["Shoot"].GetBinding(4) != null)
2.     shoot3Txt.text = playerControls.GetComponent<PlayerInput>().actions["Shoot"].GetBindingDisplayString(4);
3. else
4.     shoot3Txt.text = "None";

(If that makes any sense--the above statement does bring up errors, you see, as I'm not sure how to correctly write the condition)

On another note, when it came to the gamepad bindings, it always displays the X-Box button name (i.e. button south is A, button north is Y, etc). Is it possible to make it display just "Button North" or "Button South" (or is this more easily achieved with a condition as above)?

Thanks once again though, you certainly helped me get past that initial step.

 

There is no field with the action name in the generated c# class for me.

 

"actionName" was just an example he used. You change that to whatever name you gave the input command in your specific code (i.e. "Jump", "MoveRight", etc). The example I used in my one was "Shoot".
