New Input System with multiple Prefab

Hello there,

I'm using recently the New Input System and I have a problem.

I don't know how i can add multiple Prefab to the PlayerInputManager.

For the moment i can use 2 different controller to controll 2 different player but they have the same prefab.







I have looked for a solution but i didn't find any explicit example.

If someone could help me I would be very grateful.

Thank you for your time.

 

I'm having this issue as well. Did you figure this out?

 

I hope i can help you.

This is my Solution for this Problem.

Make a Reference to the PlayerInputManager and the Prefab for Player B and when you initialize Player A you can change the Prefab in the PlayerInputManager.

Sorry for my bad english.

Here ist an example code

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2.  
3. public PlayerInputManager inputManager;
4. public GameObject playerA;
5. public GameObject playerB;
6. public GameObject playerPrefabB;
7.  
8. void OnPlayerJoined(PlayerInput input)
9.     {  
10.         if (playerA == null)
11.         {
12.             playerA = input.gameObject;
13.             inputManager.playerPrefab = playerPrefabB;          
14.         } else
15.         {
16.             playerB = input.gameObject;          
17.         }      
18.     }

Heres my system.
I checked if a gameobject (the previous player prefab) with a tag (in this case my original prefab was tagged with Player 2), had spwaned in, then it would access the input manager's prefab and change it.


using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.InputSystem;

//PLACE ON PLAYER MANAGER OBJECT
public class InputManagerController : MonoBehaviour
{
[SerializeField] private GameObject newPlayerPrefab; // The new Player Prefab to use.

public PlayerInputManager inputManager;

private void Update()
{
if (GameObject.FindWithTag("Player2")) //Checking for a game object with the tag
{
PlayerInputManager.instance.playerPrefab = newPlayerPrefab; //If yes, changes the player prefab field to your selected prefab
}
}
}
