OnScreenControl SendValueToControl does nothing

Edit: Fix in the post below.

I have been quite frustrated with this. Everything works fine in the test project, but it does not in my own. I have ran into a wall where basically I am looking at my own input, which is correct, but SendValueToControl just does not.

I am trying to send events from virtual joystick to Gamepad/leftStick. For the control path I use attribute
[InputControl(layout = "Vector2")] which should ensure the mapping is correct in the inspector. Also if I disable my script the gamepad device disappears (from the debugger) so there it looks ok. I check the value I send to SendValueToControl and it is definitely not 0, 0, but in inspector I see absolutely no events triggered and left stick value at 0. I have no idea what to try next, cause I tried everything I could think of.

At one point I subscribed to the global event listener and it seemed that there were no events at all generated by the SendValueToControl. Also if I send integer to it, it correctly recognizes that its not the right value.

There are no errors in the console.

Also I have tested everything with actual gamepad and it works just fine.

Any idea would be greatly appreaciated.

 

So I figured out how to workaround the problem. I use the new UI Toolkit and when calling SendValueToControl from the UI events (RegisterCallback) the events do nothing, no error, nothing. But if I just save the value and instead call SendValueToControl in an update it registers events just fine and everyting works.

It should generate error if it needs to be called at a specific time and specific thread.

I have seen somewhere that it is not yet compatible with UI Toolkit to perhaps this will get fixed with the compatibility update.
