Resolved How to disable input from other controllers (using PlayerInput)

Hey all,
I am making a single player game using InputSystem with PlayerInput module.
How do I have it so additional controllers do not send events?

(Note; this is for Xbox GameCore but the same behaviour can be replicated on Windows).

The situation is controller one is working as expected, but if a second controller is turned on - it will send input events as well.
Ideally I'd like to be able to lock input to just one device.

 

bump..

 

Hi Twin-Stick,

I was able to find this in the Input System guide, that answers a few of questions similar to this:
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/c...anual/HowDoI.html#find-all-connected-gamepads

I'm not sure if there is a cleaner way to do this, but you could do something like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. Gamepad[]
2. gamepads = Gamepad.all;
3.  
4. for (int i = 0; i < gamepads.Length; i++)
5. {
6.     if (!gamepads[i].current)
7.         InputSystem.DisableDevice(gamepads[i]);
8. }
9.  

This should iterate through all of the connected Gamepads and disable those that aren't the main one.
There is also a RemoveDevice() method, which removes the extra gamepads from the devices list, which you might be able to swap in for DisableDevice().

I hope this helps!

 

I appreciate your reply.

I suppose if I pair this with an ondevicechange event it may help with what I'm after.

I'll dig into it a bit more.

 

I need a solution for this. This is an XR issue so it's gonna prevent me for passing compliance.

 

I have created a project which solves this problem -> https://github.com/Twin-Stick/InputSystem-SingleDevice
