Activating/deactivating action maps at runtime?

Unity Engine
1

Is this in?

I currently have a ‘global action map’ that contains keys to switch between different control types:

  • rotate camera
  • rotate what you’re looking at
  • move what you’re looking at

but when i change the ActionMapSlot that’s on the PlayerInput instance to active it doesn’t seem to actually work (i’ve tested this by setting it at startup and it works fine)

What am I missing?

Okay, nevermind - this does work but here’s how it works:

on the PlayerInput instance you have a list of ActionMapSlots for your actual action maps, but when that PlayerInput instance boots up it has a PlayerHandle instance which containst the actual ActionMapInput(s) that need to be active. So if you need to change things at run time - don’t worry about the ActionMapSlots, do it on the ActionMapInputs :smile:
