Having Multiple Player Inputs on Scene?

Hey everyone,

On my scene I had multiple player input components (screenshot below). One on the player, one on the game object responsible for pausing the game (since I pause with the ESC key), and more.. I am not sure if that is bad design or okay, but I realized the "Auto-Switch" function is automatically disabled if there are multiple components in the scene. I need that functionality to potentially have gamepad controls in my game.

So I decided to remove all but 1 Player Input components from the scene, and I thought I could have every other object use the same component by reference. This worked with every single button except the Mouse Position.



I read the Mouse Position as a Vector2 to help my player aim and shoot at the direction. With the old system it worked normally, I even did a Debug.Log(mousePosition), and I would see the Vector2 move around correctly as I move my mouse around.

The problem is when I switch into the new system (with only one Player Input component), every button works but the mousePosition reading is always at Vector2(0, 0). Does anybody have any idea why?

What I even tried was I loaded up my old scene (with multiple Player Input components). Then I switch the Input Action Asset to a single one, and the same thing happens: every button works but mouse position is stuck at 0, 0 now.

Has anyone dealt with this before? Any help is appreciated.

Best,
Ziberian

 

I have found the issue...

If you go and open your Input Debugger (Window -> Analysis -> Input Debugger)

I saw that the user only had Keyboard under paired devices:



and in order to add a mouse there what I had to do was go to Input Actions editing window. On the top left choose Keyboard scheme (the name might be different for you, but choose the scheme that is to be used with a keyboard and mouse). Click Edit Scheme.



In there make sure you have Keyboard AND Mouse added (I only had Keyboard before).

 

Hi! I'm curious, it's actually possible? I remember that you can bind one set of device per component. Did you make it works?

I'm driving crazy to have multiple input source per scene/contexts
