Is there a way to allow some time to release two keys?

Hi,

Hopefully this isn't an idiotic question. It might be outside of the scope of the input system, but since it seems to be geared towards using input to trigger actions:

Say I have a directional input like WASD and my game uses 8 direction movement. And I want to allow a player to continue facing one of the combination directions (NE, SE, NW, SW)

I can't very easily ensure that has enough time to occur as typically it's not easy to always release both keys at the exact same update.

It would be great if I could specify some sort of release buffer for 2D Vector Composites so I could recognize when the player released the two buttons very close to one another and not change the characters direction.

Is this possible? Or would i manually need to do this?

 

For multiple keys, duration of holding etc., you simply can use timers.

 

Do you mean just manually on my own? I know I can just write a simple counter in update or xo routine but it seems there is so much extra functionality to the new input system I just wanted to make sure i wasn't missing anything.

 

Yes. Bur since I don't use Unity new input system, to be honest, you ma be right.
