Local Multiplayer

Hi,

I'm trying to do a simple scene where I can control 4 players.

I need help setting up this because every bit of explanation is out of date today.

This script below is attached to a simple cube prefab.

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class Player : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.     private InputMaster controls;
8.  
9.     [SerializeField] private float speed = 10;
10.  
11.     private void Awake()
12.     {
13.         controls = new InputMaster();
14.  
15.         controls.Player.Shoot.performed += _ => Shoot();
16.         controls.Player.Move.performed += ctx => Move(ctx.ReadValue<Vector2>());
17.     }
18.     private void OnEnable()
19.     {
20.         controls.Enable();
21.      
22.     }
23.     private void OnDisable()
24.     {
25.         controls.Disable();
26.     }
27.     private void Shoot()
28.     {
29.         Debug.Log("Shoot");
30.     }
31.     private void Move(Vector2 direction)
32.     {
33.         transform.position += new Vector3(
34.                                 direction.x * speed * Time.deltaTime,
35.                                 0,
36.                                 direction.y * speed * Time.deltaTime);
37.     }
38. }
39.  

I have a Player Input Manager in my scene with the Player prefab (the cube) attached to it.
I have set up my Input Actions to take inputs from the keyboard and from game pads.

Okay, so now I have one keyboard and two controllers. When I touch the keyboard, one player (cube) appears and respond to the controls. Now if I touch a controller, another player appears, but every player is controlled by every controller & keyboard.

Can someone try and help me please ? I'm completely lost in this new Input System, but I want it to work so bad

 

I am on the same boat with you my friend

 

Yes, thank you so much for your reply, but now I have this error :

error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'InputValue' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Code (CSharp):

1. public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour
2. {
3.     private Vector2 m_MovementInputValue;
4.  
5.     private void OnMove(InputValue value)
6.     {
7.         m_MovementInputValue = value.Get<Vector2>();
8.         Debug.Log(m_MovementInputValue);
9.     }
10. }
11.  

Is that a problem with Visual or something ? Where does the InputValue type come from ?

 

Okay, sorry about this one...
Thank you again your your quick answers, that's cool

Now I have no build errors and my players are in fact appearing when button is pressed on keyboard or gamepad.

How can I call my OnMove method ? In an Update ? And what parameter does it take ? I have created an Input Actions manager.

You said you have a small sample project ? That is gold at this point in time ! May I have it ?

Oh, and thank you again

 

The same you did with your Move() function in your first post. You add it as a listener to an event.
Example project would also be pretty helpful

 

@dougpunity3d so you're not supposed to use the file with the generated code if you want to do local multiplayer? I tried that all weekend but could not get it to work Any plans when that will be possible?

 

I know this is kind of late, but I created a quick YouTube tutorial here after looking at this thread:

I hope someone finds this helpful!

 

How do you get 2 Gamepads to share the same GUI? Think Super Smash Bros character selection.

 

How would I change the color of the other player?

 

I've got the movement between the players split up but the jump is still connected.

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4. using UnityEngine.InputSystem;
5.  
6. public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour
7. {
8.     private float moveInput;
9.     public float speed;
10.     public float jumpForce;
11.  
12.     private bool isGrounded;
13.     public float checkRadius;
14.     public LayerMask groundCheck;
15.     public Transform playerPos;
16.  
17.     private Rigidbody2D rb;
18.  
19.     private bool facingRight = true;
20.  
21.     void Start()
22.     {
23.         rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
24.     }
25.  
26.     void FixedUpdate()
27.     {
28.         Move();
29.     }
30.  
31.     void Flip()
32.     {
33.         facingRight = !facingRight;
34.         Vector3 Scaler = transform.localScale;
35.         Scaler.x *= -1;
36.         transform.localScale = Scaler;
37.     }
38.  
39.     private void Move()
40.     {
41.         //moveInput = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
42.  
43.         rb.velocity = new Vector2(moveInput * speed, rb.velocity.y);
44.  
45.         isGrounded = Physics2D.OverlapCircle(playerPos.position, checkRadius, groundCheck);
46.  
47.         if (isGrounded && Input.GetButtonDown("X") || isGrounded && Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.UpArrow))
48.         {
49.             rb.velocity = new Vector2(rb.velocity.x, jumpForce);
50.         }
51.  
52.         if (!facingRight && moveInput > 0)
53.         {
54.             Flip();
55.         }
56.         if (facingRight && moveInput < 0)
57.         {
58.             Flip();
59.         }
60.     }
61.  
62.     private void OnMove(InputValue value)
63.     {
64.         moveInput = value.Get<Vector2>().x;
65.     }
66. }
