Bug Local Multiplayer - Players after Player 1 Cannot Control UI Navigation

Hi all,

I'm running into an issue where navigation for the new input system and local multiplayer. After some testing - I realized that UI inputs that were not from Player 1 - the first player spawned in the scene - would not be registered.

Whether the players are on Mouse/Keyboard or Controller does not seem to affect this.



This is the current PlayerInput I have on my player prefab.


I copied the default UI Action Map onto my custom Input Action Asset - as I didn't want to redo all of the custom controls I have setup.


UI Module on the Event System

The only code I currently have setup that involves switching action maps is for the Pause Menu

Code (CSharp):

1.     public void Pause(int playerID, bool isPausing)
2.     {
3.      
4.      
5.         if(isPausing)
6.         {
7.             isPaused = true;
8.             pausedPlayerId = playerID;
9.             Time.timeScale = 0;
10.  
11.             Debug.Log(" ^^ Player " + playerID + " Paused");
12.  
13.             foreach(Player p in players)
14.             {
15.                 if(p.id != playerID)
16.                 {
17.                     //p.playerInput.DeactivateInput();
18.                     Debug.Log(" ^^ Player " + p.id + " Deactivated");
19.                 } else
20.                 {
21.                     p.playerInput.SwitchCurrentActionMap("Menuplay");
22.                        Debug.Log(" ^^ Player " + p.id + " Controlling Input");
23.                     Debug.Log("Player is using " + p.playerInput.currentControlScheme);
24.                  
25.                 }
26.             }
27.         } else
28.         {
29.             isPaused = false;
30.             pausedPlayerId = -1;
31.             Time.timeScale = 1;
32.  
33.             foreach (Player p in players)
34.             {
35.                 if (p.id != playerID)
36.                 {
37.                     //p.playerInput.ActivateInput();
38.                     Debug.Log(" ^^ Player " + p.id + " Reactivated");
39.                 }
40.                 else
41.                 {
42.                     p.playerInput.SwitchCurrentActionMap("Gameplay");
43.                     Debug.Log(" ^^ Player " + p.id + " Switched back to Gameplay");
44.                 }
45.             }
46.         }
47.         pauseMenu.SetActive(isPaused);
48.     }

When implementing code for the Menus- my original idea was to deactivate input from all other players except for who paused, but even with code commented out I am running into the same issue.

I'm still fairly new to using the Player Input Manager in regards to the rest of the new input system - so if there's any other info needed I will happily provide.

Thanks all

 

Got it. Had to set the UI Input Actions in code.

Code (CSharp):

1. //In OnStart
2. inputSystemUIInputModule = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("EventSystem").GetComponent<InputSystemUIInputModule>();
3.  
4. //In Pause Function
5. inputSystemUIInputModule.actionsAsset = p.playerInput.actions;
