Input System - checking if specific key is down or pressed, using Key enum value

Hey all,

I see there is a Key enum in the new system:

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.0/api/UnityEngine.InputSystem.Key.html

I understand how to get a keyboard object via "Keyboard.current".

However, I can't seem to find a simple way to check if a particular key is pressed by using a value from the Key enum.

I know there is a set of hardcoded properties, one per key. But I have a case where I would like to check the key down state (or pressed this frame) using a Key enum value.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

 

You mean this?

 

LOL yes I do. I must have missed it in the sea of per-key properties! You won't believe how much time I've spent looking for this.

 

I was just looking for that too. Didn't even know if it existed or not. Thanks for pointing it out!

EDIT: for anyone who might need it, here is the gamepad one. Though I am admittedly having trouble figuring out how to even use it to return the value of each button as a test (which was easy to do with the keyboard one). Sadly there seems to be no enum for the 4 cardinal directions on the analog sticks: https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/c...ngine.InputSystem.LowLevel.GamepadButton.html

 

The magic of reading the documentation. You acquire knowledge about stuff.
