Resolved How to set a binding to 'none' when rebinding?

Hello,

I would like to allow setting some keybindings to absolutely nothing, but so far, I can't find how to do that.

I've tried to do a 'EraseBinding()' during the OnCancel() on the rebindOperation, but this does not fully work, as the next time I launch the game the value is back to what it was...

Yes, I have a fully working save/load system for my keybindings. I know it's not persistent. Problem is, I can't set it to 'nothing'

Documentation only tells us that:

Code (CSharp):

1. // Erase first binding on "fire" action.
2. playerInput.actions["fire"].ChangeBinding(0).Erase();

Which is nice, but doesn't save/get written to the override of the keybind...

So, how does one simply 'override' a native keybind to be 'nothing', and actually be saved with the rest of the overrides?

Thanks

 

Override with an empty string.

 

I think (I'm not sure because it was a long time ago when I played around with this and right now I can't test it), but as I remember the JSON serialization will skip it since you remove it.
Try this instead:

Code (CSharp):

1. // Erase first binding on "fire" action.
2. playerInput.actions["fire"].ChangeBinding(0).ChangeBindingWithPath("");

 

How do I do that? I'm using the rebinding operation, it doesn't let me choose an empty string, it only listens for keys being pressed, that's my code by the way:

Code (CSharp):

1.     void PerformRebindOperation(KeybindingButtonGO p_keybindingButtonGO, InputAction p_inputAction)
2.     {
3.         if (_rebindingOperation != null) _rebindingOperation.Cancel();
4.  
5.         int index = -1;
6.  
7.         // Composite binding, rebinding only one axis at a time
8.         if (p_inputAction.bindings[0].isComposite) index = p_keybindingButtonGO.GetBindingIndex(_gamePadMode);
9.         else
10.         {
11.             if (_gamePadMode) index = 1;
12.             else index = 0;
13.         }
14.  
15.         p_inputAction.Disable(); // Critical, you cannot rebind an action that is Enabled, error thrown in console
16.  
17.         _rebindingOperation = p_inputAction.PerformInteractiveRebinding()
18.         .WithTargetBinding(index)
19.         .WithCancelingThrough("<Keyboard>/escape")
20.         .WithControlsExcluding("<Mouse>/position")
21.         .WithControlsExcluding("<Mouse>/scroll")
22.         .WithControlsExcluding("<Mouse>/delta")
23.         .OnCancel(cancelOperation =>
24.         {
25.             p_inputAction.Enable();
26.  
27.             CleanupRebindingOperation();
28.  
29.             RefreshVisualsOfAllKeyBindings();
30.  
31.         }).OnComplete(completeOperation =>
32.         {
33.             p_inputAction.Enable();
34.  
35.             CleanupRebindingOperation();
36.  
37.             RefreshVisualsOfAllKeyBindings();
38.  
39.             StaticClass.SelectObject(null);
40.  
41.         });
42.  
43.         _rebindingOperation.Start();
44.     }

 

Thanks but there is no such possibility, you cannot call 'ChangeBindingWithPath()' on top of / on the result of 'ChangeBinding()'

 

You're right, sorry, again, it was a long tme ago. The proper line is

Code (CSharp):

1. playerInput.actions["fire"].ChangeBinding(0).WithPath("");

The problem is, with this, you're overwriting the original binding and this also doesn't show up in the JSON.
So here is what I figured (I got back in the front of my unity computer):

Code (CSharp):

1. playerInput.actions["fire"].ApplyBindingOverride(0, "");

This will properly show up in the saved JSON AND the opportunity to reset to the original binding remains.

 

Well this worked!

This is the solution, thanks a lot man!

Code (CSharp):

1. playerInput.actions["fire"].ApplyBindingOverride(0, "");
