Question Proper way to clear InputSystem binding?

The only method I see to clear an InputBinding is `inputAction.ChangeBinding(x).Erase()`.
I'm calling Erase on the IsComposite, and IsPartOfComposite parts. Then I am re-adding empty ones with

Code (CSharp):

1.             void AddCompositeBinding()
2.             {
3.                 InputBinding ib = new InputBinding() { isComposite = true, isPartOfComposite = false };
4.                 ia.AddBinding(ib);
5.             }
6.             void AddPartOfCompositeBinding()
7.             {
8.                 InputBinding ib = new InputBinding() { isComposite = false, isPartOfComposite = true };
9.                 ia.AddBinding(ib);
10.             }
11.  

This however throws

Code (CSharp):

1. ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.
2. Parameter name: text
3. UnityEngine.InputSystem.Utilities.NameAndParameters.Parse (System.String text) (at Library/PackageCache/com.unity.inputsystem@1.4.1/InputSystem/Utilities/NameAndParameters.cs:71)

when attempting to call `inputAction.PerformInteractiveRebinding(x)`.

If the default modifier + binding is 'no binding' in the inputMap it works fine. But the moment you clear a binding you cannot rebind it.

 

Are you sure this isn't just a nullref?

How to fix a NullReferenceException error

https://forum.unity.com/threads/how-to-fix-a-nullreferenceexception-error.1230297/

Three steps to success:
- Identify what is null
- Identify why it is null
- Fix that

If it's not, then I would start with the docs for binding... if there is unbinding I imagine that would be linked pretty nearby in the docs.

 

This is the wrong answer. Please no one take this advice.

 

I'm sure that YOU are now going to post the correct answer, right?

We've all been waiting for you to actually add value to the forum.

 

It is quite simple. Here is an example:

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using UnityEngine.InputSystem;
3.  
4. public sealed class InputRebindingExample : MonoBehaviour
5. {
6.     [SerializeField]
7.     private InputAction inputAction;
8.  
9.     private void Start()
10.     {
11.         inputAction.Enable();
12.  
13.         inputAction.performed += callbackContext =>
14.         {
15.             Debug.Log("Hello, World!");
16.         };
17.     }
18.  
19.     private void Update()
20.     {
21.         if (Keyboard.current.eKey.wasPressedThisFrame)
22.         {
23.             Debug.Log("Erasing...");
24.  
25.             inputAction.ApplyBindingOverride(1, "");
26.             inputAction.ApplyBindingOverride(2, "");
27.         }
28.  
29.         if (Keyboard.current.bKey.wasPressedThisFrame)
30.         {
31.             Debug.Log("Binding...");
32.  
33.             inputAction.ApplyBindingOverride(1, Keyboard.current.ctrlKey.path);
34.             inputAction.ApplyBindingOverride(2, Keyboard.current.spaceKey.path);
35.         }
36.  
37.         if (Keyboard.current.rKey.wasPressedThisFrame)
38.         {
39.             Debug.Log("Rebinding...");
40.  
41.             inputAction.Disable();
42.  
43.             InputActionRebindingExtensions.RebindingOperation rebindingOperation = inputAction.PerformInteractiveRebinding(2);
44.  
45.             rebindingOperation.OnComplete(rebindingOperation =>
46.             {
47.                 inputAction.Enable();
48.  
49.                 rebindingOperation.Dispose();
50.             });
51.  
52.             rebindingOperation.Start();
53.         }
54.     }
55. }

 

Yes! This is the correct answer, worked perfectly thank you!
While I could not find the manual my first go around, it popped up eventually. Here's more details for others https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/c...manual/ActionBindings.html#composite-bindings

 

This whole InputSystem is sincerely so bad at the most basic things I'm starting to consider just going back to the old one and programming my own binding system. Something as trivial as clearing a key binding should NOT force me through dozens of google search entries leading to hazy articles like this one.

To top it with more nonsense, I just found out that using ".WithControlsExcluding("<keyboard>/escape")" also affects the "e" key, and we are yet to receive an update for that.

Horrendously abysmal. This ...THING of system should've never come out of alpha in this state.

 

Hi, your method is very effective, but I have another problem, can you help me to look at it?

What if I want to reset all rebinds at once?

 

Then you use the proper method depending on you want to reset an action's bindings or the action map's bindings. Either way, the RemoveAllBindingOverrides method is in the documentation. As always. Also please next time open your own threads and post your questions separately.
