Actions are not assigned to implicit User when using Player Input Manager for local multi joining

Unity Engine

I’m new to this. Just a heads up in case this is a non-issue.

I’ve followed along with the dead simple example given in the video Introducing the new Input System - Unite Copenhagen, and can’t get the Player Input Manager to work properly. It looks to me like the problem is that keyboard/mouse actions are not automatically assigned to an “implicit User” as Rene Damm called it in the video. Here’s what it looks like after I’ve pressed a few buttons on both keyboard/mouse and an xbox controller:

Every time I press a keyboard button, a new Action appears, but it’s not assigned a User. Only when I press A on my xbox controller, a User appears. Also, as you can see, a Player GameObject joins the scene on every key press.

If I don’t use the Player Input Manager and instead have two copies of the Player prefab in the scene, they get assigned a User each, and I can trigger Move with my xbox controller and keyboard/mouse seperately, just as expected.

I haven’t done anything with the Player Input Manager other than just drag the prefab into it. Anyone have any advice for how to get it to work?

I have the same issue, I’m not sure what it could be. Keeping an eye on this thread though. If I find something I’ll lyk.

Set the default control scheme to your keyboard and mouse. It worked for me, it seems that when you set the default to “Any” it can’t recognize the keyboard by itself. :slight_smile: Hope this helps.

This is with 1.0.0-preview.4, right? I bonkered this and introduced a regression with control schemes that require multiple devices. It’s fixed for 1.0.0-preview.5 which is slated for release this week. Sorry about the bump.
