    This error only occurs in the editor and started a day or two ago. To make sure it's not an issue with the concerning script I cut & paste the same script from a backed up version of my project from a few months ago and the malfunction persisted. It's simply that when the game's paused, the "Quit Game" button doesn't respond to the "Jump" button when highlighted unless pressed by the spacebar instead of the x360 pad.

    Not sure what it could be. I'd say just keep experimenting and hopefully something will be revealed.

    Hi,

    Just to confirm: you used to get "true" returned from Input.GetButtonDown("Jump") when pressing A on the Xbox 360 pad, but then something changed and now you don't.

    I would think that the Input settings (Edit menu->Project Settings->Input) got messed up. Jump is configured by default to accept joystick input, but a few accidental clicks on drop-downs could deactivate that. Do any Xbox 360 pad inputs work? It might be worth testing this in a new test project, to isolate the problem from any other effects. At least you can use a new project to look at the default settings for the Jump input.

    Let me know if that helps.

    It's true but the context is that it's when the game's paused. I found that GetButton works instead so is there something about the timeScale being at 0 that makes GetButtonDown or GetButtonUp(I tried it as well) not be registered? There's a tiny chance I just never noticed but my development process for the particular game was very extensive and I probably literally played it over a 1000 times so I doubt that I just never came across it.

    @boothj1985 - What version of unity are you using exactly?

    I will try to recreate this in a new project.

    If it is just too mysterious I won't worry about it so long as it doesn't interfere with any other aspects of the development process. The really odd thing about it is, I tested older backed up versions of the project and this seemingly new malfunction occurs with them, even one I'd placed on my mother's laptop long ago. Not only that but I tried it with an old just-for-pc, gamepad I had long before I even before I started development and it occurs with it too.
