Bug Input.GetKeyDown isnt working

I am trying to make it so that when I press the key "R", it logs r. This is my code:

Code (CSharp):

1. if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.R))
2.             {
3.                 Debug.Log("r");
4.             }

My problem is, that when i press "R", most of the time, it doesn't debug. Can anyone help? Thanks!

 

Are you polling this input in

Update()

or

FixedUpdate()

? Input should only be polled in the former, not the latter.

 

When you say "most" it makes me wonder if you're clicking in the game window (after clicking Play) to give it keyboard focus, which it needs. If the last thing you clicked on was a field in the Inspector (or something else), there's your keyboard focus, and the game won't hear any presses, at least that's my recollection when running into this.

 

I am in the game view, and spamming the r button. 1 out of 4 or 5 times it debugs it. Also, it is called in Fixed update, meaning that it cant be the problem.

 

If you read my post again you'll find it's 100% the problem.

Input should only be polled in

Update()

, never in

FixedUpdate()

.

 

Oh sorry. Yeah you are right.
