    Hello everyone,
    I'm trying the new input system in Unity, it's really amazing. I'd developing a little local multiplayer game and I was wondering, how can I assign a specific input (gamepad, keyboad etc.) to the player?
    I want to thank everyone in advance and sorry for my English.

    Antonio

    Depends on what your setup is.

    With PlayerInput, either spawn the players with the given devices or switch devices on the existing PlayerInput instances.

    Code (CSharp):
    1. // Spawn players with specific devices.
    2. var p1 = PlayerInput.Instantiate(playerPrefab, controlScheme: "Gamepad", pairWithDevice: Gamepad.all[0]);
    3. var p2 = PlayerInput.Instantiate(playerPrefab, controlScheme: "KeyboardMouse", Keyboard.current, Mouse.current);
    4.  
    5. // Switch devices later.
    6. p1.SwitchCurrentControlScheme("KeyboardMouse", Keyboard.current, Mouse.current);
    With the generated C# wrappers, assign the devices for the player to "devices" property.

    Code (CSharp):
    1. m_Actions = new MyPlayerActions();
    2. m_Actions.devices = new[] { Keyboard.current , Mouse.current };

    Rene please could you help me?
    I am triying to assing two different controllers without spawning the players with this part of your code : "p1.SwitchCurrentControlScheme("KeyboardMouse", Keyboard.current, Mouse.current);". The problem came when both controllers are ps4 controllers and both players dont distinguish each controller. If I spawn the players there are not any problem, but I do not want to do this.
    Thank you :).
