New input system : Get new Player object at spawn

Hello,

I'm using the new Input System to make a 2D Local Multiplayer game and I basically need to retrieve the player spawned when he click the button.

What i'm doing is : Having an Input Manager using Unity Events, and retrieving this in a function.

Code (CSharp):

1. public void PlayerJoined()
2.     {
3.         Debug.Log("Calling Gamemanager New Player joined");
4.         FindObjectOfType<GameManager>().PlayerJoined();
5.     }

Is it possible to add a parameter in the "PlayerJoined(Callback)" to retrieve the spawned GameObject ? and if so, what type ?

Subquestion : I'm going to change the position and color of the player for each spawn. I'll have a list for the color and one for the spawn location. Each spawned player will be added to a list with specific color/spawn.
Is it a good way to go, or is there good classic way to do this ?

Kind regards

 

You can set Notification Behavior to Send Message

When a player joins, an event will be sent to the Game Object that the Player Input Manager is on.

Add the method OnPlayerJoined(PlayerInput playerInput) to a script that's on that same Game Object - You can then use the PlayerInput to get the player.

Example:

Code (CSharp):

1.     private void OnPlayerJoined(PlayerInput playerInput)
2.     {
3.         SetPlayerPositionAndColor(playerInput.transform);
4.     }
5.  
6.     void SetPlayerPositionAndColor(Transform player){}
