Cannot switch to actions 'UI'; input is not enabled

Hi All

I have an issue with switching actions in the new inout system. Currently I want to switch between "Player" and "UI" when the game is paused/unpaused and it seems to be doing that fine, the issue is this error being logged out "Cannot switch to actions 'UI'; input is not enabled"
I'm certain I have to have just missed something supremely obvious, I just can't see it for the life of me. Thanks in advance!

Using Unity 2019.4.18f1 and Input System 1.0.2

 

This is the first result on google so I'm going to go ahead and bump this.

 

Yeah, I'm working through this right now while trying to have my object keep its event references (using Unity Events) upon instantiation.

 

Quick update: In my case I had set:

Code (CSharp):

1. [SerializeField] private PlayerInput playerInput;

In a different class that then called:

Code (CSharp):

1. playerInput.SwitchCurrentActionMap("ShopControls");

When I destroyed the object (the player) upon instantiating him again, that slot playerInput field was null. So I just threw a quick check into the method:

Code (CSharp):

1.             if (playerInput == null)
2.             {
3.                 GameObject player = GameObject.FindWithTag("Player");
4.                 playerInput = player.GetComponent<PlayerInput>();
5.             }

 

That's what I've currently got too. I basically just hacked together a really awful global keeper of the Inputs for the 4 players to keep it going for now. I hope there is a better way than this.
