How can I set a specific control scheme at runtime?

Unity Engine

Hi,

I plan to use two different Gamepad control schemes based on the platform the game is running on. Control scheme “A” is the default scheme using “Gamepad” bindings, scheme “B” is a special scheme defined for the Nintendo Switch platform and has some action buttons flipped. For example, I defined an input action which is bound to “button south” (scheme “A”) and “Button A (Switch)” (scheme “B”). The A-button also mapa to “button east”.

Now I need to disable the generic scheme “A” on the Switch platform in order to prevent the north/south/east/west buttons interfering with A/B/X/Y. I’m sure there is an easy way to do this, but I couldn’t figure out how. Any ideas?

Try something like

myActionAsset.bindingMask = new InputBinding {groups = "MyControlSchemeName"};

Works like a charm, thank you!

The api changed.

PlayerInput.defaultControlScheme = "MyControlSchemeName";

If anyone has problem with other solutions, this worked for me
gameObject.GetComponent().SwitchCurrentControlScheme(controlSchemes[number], Keyboard.current);
