Question Why Input.GetKeyDown not working as expected with (IInputComponentData)?

Hello everyone,

I made a GatherAutoCommandsSystem (Client Side) that gathers all player inputs and stores them in IInputComponentData, the movement works fine when using Input.GetKey, but when using Input.GetKeyDown to fire a bullet when player press space bar (only one bullet per press) the command did not send to ProcessAutoCommand (Server side) until I press more than one time.

Code (CSharp):

1.  public void OnUpdate(ref SystemState state)
2. {
3.      bool left = UnityEngine.Input.GetKey("left") || UnityEngine.Input.GetKey("a");
4.      bool right = UnityEngine.Input.GetKey("right") || UnityEngine.Input.GetKey("d");
5.      bool down = UnityEngine.Input.GetKey("down") || UnityEngine.Input.GetKey("s");
6.      bool up = UnityEngine.Input.GetKey("up") || UnityEngine.Input.GetKey("w");
7.      bool attack = UnityEngine.Input.GetKeyDown("Space");

I have two questions:

1- How to make the server receive a single press from clients to server (without using PredictedSimulationSystemGroup)? I have the same issue with ICommandData.

2- Should I use PredictedSimulationSystemGroup with Damage Logic (I separated damage logic from client side)? PredictedSimulationSystemGroup will force me to make damage logic exist in both client and server.

Thanks in advance.

 

I'm using InputEvent to be able to use triggers and events.

Code (CSharp):

1. inputData.ValueRW = default;
2.  
3. if (left)
4.     inputData.ValueRW.Horizontal -= 1;
5.  
6. if (right)
7.     inputData.ValueRW.Horizontal += 1;
8.  
9. if (down)
10.     inputData.ValueRW.Vertical -= 1;
11.  
12. if (up)
13.     inputData.ValueRW.Vertical += 1;
14.  
15. if (attack)
16.     inputData.ValueRW.SkillAttack.Set();

 

+1 Same Issue Here.

I separated some logic from client and trying to send input event from client (IInputComponentData) to server (WorldSystemFilterFlags.ServerSimulation), but event does not send from first press.

 

Hi. Does InputEvent also use it to solve the problem that sometimes server failed to detect input like button press? If yes can official support setup custom input data into InputEvent like uint? Is that still not enough to make it always able to detect button input with just IInputComponentData?

 

@CMarastoni I would like to know that why even I already use IInputComponentData, sometimes it still failed to detect input from IInputComponentData and just miss the input?
