How to update input system manually?

I am making an online game with its own custom fixed update (different from the one Physics uses by default) for the ticking of the networked "gameplay simulation", and I need player input events to only be processed at a specific point in that custom fixed update I made.

for instance, if a player pressed Jump, I don't want that JumpPressed event to potentially be consumed by the regular Update, because I need it in my custom fixed update instead

So far I have tried:

• Setting "Update Mode" to "Process Events Manually" in the ProjectSettings window
• in my fixed update loop, call
  
  Code (CSharp):

  1. UnityEngine.Experimental.Input.InputSystem.Update(InputUpdateType.Manual);

But this does not seem to work. I don't get any input events, and I made sure the ".Update" really does get called by my code. Any ideas?

 

Also tried to use the InputActionTrace exactly like it is shown here: https://github.com/Unity-Technologi...emo/SimpleController_UsingActionEventQueue.cs

...but still no success

Tested in 2018.3.5 and 2019.1b4

Spoiler: Code

Code (CSharp):

1. using System;
2. using System.Collections;
3. using System.Collections.Generic;
4. using UnityEngine;
5. using UnityEngine.Experimental.Input;
6. using UnityEngine.Experimental.Input.Interactions;
7.  
8. public class InputTest : MonoBehaviour
9. {
10.     public MyControls MyControls;
11.  
12.     private InputActionTrace m_ActionTrace;
13.  
14.     private void OnEnable()
15.     {
16.         MyControls.Newactionmap.Enable();
17.  
18.         m_ActionTrace = new InputActionTrace(MyControls.Newactionmap);
19.  
20.         //MyControls.Newactionmap.Get().actionTriggered -= m_ActionTrace.RecordAction;
21.         //MyControls.Newactionmap.Get().actionTriggered += m_ActionTrace.RecordAction;
22.     }
23.  
24.     private void OnDisable()
25.     {
26.         MyControls.Newactionmap.Disable();
27.     }
28.  
29.     // Update is called once per frame
30.     void Update()
31.     {
32.         InputSystem.Update();
33.  
34.         Debug.Log(m_ActionTrace.count);
35.         foreach (InputActionTrace.ActionEventPtr eventPtr in m_ActionTrace)
36.         {
37.             InputActionPhase phase = eventPtr.phase;
38.             InputAction action = eventPtr.action;
39.  
40.             if(action == MyControls.Newactionmap.Test)
41.             {
42.                 IInputInteraction interaction = eventPtr.interaction;
43.                 switch (phase)
44.                 {
45.                     case InputActionPhase.Performed:
46.                         Debug.Log("TEST");
47.                         break;
48.  
49.                     case InputActionPhase.Started:
50.                         break;
51.  
52.                     case InputActionPhase.Cancelled:
53.                         break;
54.                 }
55.             }
56.         }
57.  
58.         m_ActionTrace.Clear();
59.     }
60. }
61.  

 

Sorry for the lag here...

That one is meant for the setup you describe and the steps and code you go through are expected to work. But the path has not seen much testing yet and looks like we still have some work to do there. I've filed a ticket here and QA will give it a go.
