New Input System: arrows with and without modifier

Hi all,

I probably have a simple problem. I am trying to set up the new Input System so that i can press the arrow keys to move around and press control + arrow keys to attack in a certain direction. My Input Actions look like in the attached screenshot.

My Controller script looks like that:

Code (CSharp):

1. public void OnMoveLeft(InputAction.CallbackContext context) {
2.   if(context.performed) {
3.     Move(Direction.West);
4.   }
5. }
6. public void OnForceAttackWest(InputAction.CallbackContext context) {
7.   if(context.performed) {
8.     Debug.Log(string.Format("OnForceAttack{0}", "West"));
9.   }
10. }

Pretty straight-forward. However, when I press leftCtrl+arrow key, the movement AND the force attack execute. How can I prevent that?

Thanks
Nico

 

There's a few ways to workaround this until they release an official fix for it after 1.0.
Here's the solution I went with:

You should be able to find some other workarounds in the forum if you don't like this one.

 

Thanks!
I did actually end up with a much easier solution. I added a ToggleAttackMode Action and changed my code like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. public void OnToggleAttackMode(InputAction.CallbackContext context) {
2.   if(context.started) {
3.     // button pressed
4.     Mode = PlayerMode.Attack;
5.   }
6.   if(context.canceled) {
7.     // button released
8.     Mode = PlayerMode.Default;
9.   }
10. }
11.  
12. public void OnActionLeft(InputAction.CallbackContext context) {
13.   if(context.performed) {
14.     if(Mode == PlayerMode.Default) Move(Direction.West);
15.     else if(Mode == PlayerMode.Attack) {
16.       if(EquipmentSlots.AttackType == AttackType.Melee) MeleeAttack(Direction.West);
17.       else if(EquipmentSlots.AttackType == AttackType.Ranged) RangedAttack(Direction.West);
18.     }
19.   }
20. }
