New Input System: Configure rumble on a specific gamepad?

Unity Engine
1

Hi there,

I have just been reading through the documentation on the new Input System 1.0 and have started implementing it into my local multiplayer project. I noticed that there is a way to set the motor speeds using :

Gamepad.current.SetMotorSpeeds(low freq, high freq);

As I am using multiple gamepads I am wanting to single out a specific gamepad related to that player and only produce rumble for that gamepad. When I use the above, it produces rumble on all connected gamepads.

Apologies if ive overlooked something, but if anyone could point me in the right direction that would be great.

Thanks!

It depends. But something like this:

// Mark gamepad #2 as being for player 1.
InputSystem.SetDeviceUsage(Gamepad.all[1], "Player1");
// And later look it up.
var player1Gamepad = InputSystem.GetDevice<Gamepad>(new InternedString("Player1"));

And then you can use the player1Gamepad instead of the Gamepad.current.

More info and more possibilities here: Class InputSystem | Input System | 1.0.2

gamepad = playerInput.GetDevice();

this works for local multiplayer
