WASD two buttons pressed simultaneously

I didn't find anything relevant in previous posts aside from a possible bug from 2 years ago. But I suspect this is a configuration issue.


Here's my scenario
If I press one button and while it's held down, press another WASD key, the second doesn't fire an event. Both events fire if I press a key that's mapped separately. For instance, W & E -> both fire. It seems to be particularly an issue with sub actions.

I'm using the new input system.
I'm using broadcast messages for the behavior.
For my

Move 

action, I have Action Type set to Pass Through and Control Type set to Vector 2
For sub action

WASD

, I have Composite Type set to 2D Vector and Mode set to Digital Normalized

Any ideas?

 

The Vector2 Composite doesn't account for this situation. You will just have to handle it yourself. It's easy to create custom composites though.

 

So essentially, I'll need to map each key separately? Will that cause problems for DPad setups?

 

No, I think that Vector2Composite will read the 'A' key, find that it is pressed, and simply return with x = -1, regardless of the 'D' key.

What you can do instead, is let the most recent key win. @Baste has written a composite that does this here.

 

Thanks! I'll check out that thread. It actually looked like the event wasn't firing when I pressed the second key. Maybe I have two issues going on here.
