Mouse movement working as gamepad

Hi!
How am i able to get mouse movement working as an analog stick on a gamepad ?
I need a value between -1 and 1.. I have tried with scale and clamp to get proper results, but i don't get the right "feeling" when using the mouse.
In my code, i would like to treat it the same way, no matter what kind of input device i use (keys, mouse or gamepad)

Code (CSharp):

1.        
2. public void Roll(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
3.         {
4.  
5.             m_Roll = context.ReadValue<float>();
6.             Debug.Log("Roll!:" + m_Roll);
7.  
8.             m_Roll = Mathf.Clamp(m_Roll, -1f, 1f);
9.         }
10.  

I have looked at some code etc. but i didn't find exactly what i was looking for.

 

The X and Y position of the mouse from -1 to 1, with 0 being the middle of the screen?

Code (CSharp):

1. Vector2 mousePosition = new Vector2(
2.   ((Input.mousePosition.x / Screen.width) * 2) - 1,
3.   ((Input.mousePosition.y / Screen.height) * 2) - 1
4. );

I just wrote here - haven't tested but should work.

 

Hi,
I Guess something like that could work, but then i need different methods to select between mouse and keyboard.
I thought maybe some "Delta Mouse Movement" could work. But i guess i need to add different methods, depending on the inputs.
actually it might be the best, then i also could have different Roll / Pitch values from the keys, depending on how long they are pressed....

 

Code (CSharp):

1.     [System.Serializable]
2.     public class PointerDataProcessor
3.     {
4.         public Vector2 CurrentMousePosition => currentMousePosition;
5.  
6.         private InputMap _inputMap;
7.         private Vector2 currentMousePosition;
8.  
9.         public void Initialize()
10.         {
11.             _inputMap = InputSystem_Manager.Map;
12.  
13.             _inputMap.Player.Pointer.Enable();
14.             _inputMap.Player.Pointer.performed += ctx => currentMousePosition = ctx.ReadValue<Vector2>();
15.         }
16.     }

It sounds like you need to normalize your vector.
Normalizing will clamp its values to -1 and 1 like you're describing.

You can also add this to the specific input or action via the input system by adding a normalize processor to it.

Hi!
Wouldn't that just clamp the value of the screen position? Everything will be (1,1)?

 

Perhaps I misunderstood your usage.
I have the code above in my project and it is giving accurate input for my rotate function using pointer Delta from the input settings.
I made a static poco class for mine so I can just say "InputSystem_Manager.PointerData.CurrentMousePosition" from anywhere in the project.
