New Input System not working on WebGL

Hello there,

I am using the Input System (the new one, not the "old" "Input Manager") to handle inputs in my game.

I am using it both for the UI (essentially UI Toolkit and a little bit of Unity UI) as well as in game to control the character. To handle in-game inputs (controlling the character), I have created an Input Actions file, which is then referenced by the Player Input component on my character's GameObject:



Everything is working well on all platforms, including Editor, Standalone (Mac) and Standalone (Windows).

However, on WebGL, only the UI inputs work. I can click on buttons in the UI (both UI Toolkit and Unity UI), the "hover" effect (when I move my cursor over buttons) is properly detected, etc.

However, controlling the character doesn't work at all (using keys on my keyboard has no effect), although it works perfectly on Standalone builds.

Do you have any idea why this doesn't work on WebGL? Is there anything specific that has to be done on this platform to make it work?

Thanks in advance!

 

Reading this is probably worth it : https://forum.unity.com/threads/new-input-system-not-working-in-webgl-builds.870421/

It's over a year old, but with new Input Manager progressing so slowly I don't think anything of meaning has changed since.

 

@jtiret create a bug report, otherwise it won't be fixed...

 

Thanks for your insights, I will create a test project reproducing the issue and will submit a bug report. Will let you know how it goes.

 

i have the same problem, pretty sure switching back somehow to the old input system fixes it. not sure how easy that is tho :/

 

My new input works with webgl, do you have say anything other than mouse and keyboard?

 

In my case, I discovered that setting the Stripping Level in the Player > Other Settings to High or Medium disabled the operation of the keyboard in WebGL. When you set the Stripping Level to Low, the keyboard respond to movement.
