Implementing a "virtual" input device - Where to fill in the data?

I'm trying to implement a virtual input device with only two controls:

position

(type

Vector3

) and

orientation

(type

Quaternion

). These should simply be copied from a

Transform

's position and orientation.

So I created this class (following something I found in the documentation):

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using UnityEngine.InputSystem;
3. using UnityEngine.InputSystem.Controls;
4. using UnityEngine.InputSystem.Layouts;
5.  
6. #if UNITY_EDITOR
7. [UnityEditor.InitializeOnLoad]
8. #endif
9. [InputControlLayout(updateBeforeRender = true)]
10. public class TransformInputDevice : InputDevice
11. {
12.     [InputControl]
13.     public Vector3Control position { get; private set; }
14.  
15.     [InputControl]
16.     public QuaternionControl orientation { get; private set; }
17.  
18.     static TransformInputDevice()
19.     {
20.         InputSystem.RegisterLayout<TransformInputDevice>();
21.     }
22.  
23.     [RuntimeInitializeOnLoadMethod]
24.     private static void InitializeInPlayer()
25.     {
26.     }
27.  
28.     protected override void FinishSetup()
29.     {
30.         base.FinishSetup();
31.  
32.         position = GetChildControl<Vector3Control>(nameof(position));
33.         orientation = GetChildControl<QuaternionControl>(nameof(orientation));
34.     }
35. }

Now what I don't know is how to actually make this device return some data.

InputDevice

doesn't have any methods like

Update

etc. that I could override, so where do the devices actually get its real input? I don't find anything about this anywhere in the documentation ...

 

Great, thanks for pointing it out! Exactly what I was looking for.
