Suggestion: Add the Sector Interactor from XR Interaction into vanilla Input System

The Sector Interactor that's part of the XR Interaction Tool Kit (currently in preview?) is really useful for turning analog stick input into compass directions (North, South, West East). It should be part of the default input system so that non-XR and sprite-based games can easily take advantage of it.

Until then: You can copy SectorInteraction.cs and CardinalUtility.cs out of the "com.unity.xr.interaction.toolkit" package into your own project.

 

I started a new project and had no idea where this went. Why is this not part of the default input system?

 

@Schubkraft what do you think? It's something basic.

My use case: I want a binding of type Vector2 to be triggered only if Y is greater than 0 and the press point > 0.8. This cannot be achieved with the presspoint interaction + clamp processor because the processor is not executed before the interaction.

The solution in my case has been to use the interaciton sector of XR Interaction Toolkit.

 

@Schubkraft I just made it but I don't hold out much hope that it will get anywhere but the bottom of a drawer.
