New input system joystick values all the same?

Hi, I might be missing something on how the values work for the joystick but I was trying to hook up a blendtree animation to the joystick values for left and right and I figured the result would be something like, left return negative1 and right is positive 1 or something like that, but I noticed that all of the values are the same for every direction at their maximum values.

Is there a way to interpret that 1 left and 1 right are different directions in the new input system so that I can correlate that to my animations blendtree?

 

Maybe you can do something like that:



And then:



Maybe this works too? I would try along these lines:



All I know is that I'm using that way for gamepad and it works fine.

 

what are you getting back from Vector3(.ReadValue<float>(), 0, 0);

 

i get it now. I see where I did not understand the logic. Its from 0 TO 1 on the left and from 0 to 1 on the right, and top and bottom. You specify the left control you set up in the action inputs as left or right and read from 0 to 1 the value. Thats why there is no negative number...

 

Well, you can have negative and positive values with Vector2:

Code (CSharp):

1.         private void ChangeDirection(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
2.         {
3.             var value = context.ReadValue<Vector2>();
4.  
5.             if (Math.Abs(value.x) > Math.Abs(value.y))
6.             {
7.                 // horizontal
8.                 if (value.x < 0)
9.                 {
10.                     // left
11.                 }
12.                 else
13.                 {
14.                     // right
15.                 }
16.             }
17.             else
18.             {
19.                 // vertical
20.                 if (value.y < 0)
21.                 {
22.                     // down
23.                 }
24.                 else
25.                 {
26.                     // up
27.                 }
28.             }
29.  
30.         }

You can also check for both directions at the same time if you want.
