Question Possible issue related to Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") and Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal")!?

Hi.

I'm just wondering about the following simple code and if Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal") should default to 0. I keep getting -1 by default. Is there an issue with the code or Input.GetAxisRaw()? I get the same results with Input.GetAxis()

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2.  
3. public class Proto2PlayerController : MonoBehaviour
4. {
5.     public float horizontalInput;
6.    
7.     // Update is called once per frame
8.     void Update()
9.     {
10.         horizontalInput = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal"); // Defaults to -1   BUG?
11.     }
12. }

I'm currently using Unity 2021.3.16.f

Thanks for any feedback :0)

 

Often this comes from you having left an input device plugged into your computer and forgetting about it. For example a gamepad lying upside down leaning on its joystick.

 

Thanks.
I tried to disconnect all devices connected to the computer, but the issue was still there.

Ended up with this workaround.

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. public class Proto2PlayerController : MonoBehaviour
3. {
4.     public float horizontalInput;
5.  
6.     // Update is called once per frame
7.     void Update()
8.     {
9.         horizontalInput = 0f;
10.         if (Input.GetButton("Horizontal"))
11.         {
12.             horizontalInput = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal"); // Defaults to -1   BUG?
13.         }
14.     }
15. }
16.
