New input System GetAxis alternative

Questions & Answers

Hi, I’m making a game where my player needs to accelerate so I need the vector2 to go smooth from 0 to 1, now it just goes from 0 to 1 instantaneous like the old “GetAxisRaw”, setting the mode too analog does not work. Is there a way I can make it go smooth like “GetAxis”? Thx for your answer!

You can use transform.Translate and time.deltaTime to soften the effect of GetAxis, look at an example:

    if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.D) || Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.RightArrow))
    {
        transform.Translate(10*Time.deltaTime,0,0);
    }
    if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.D) || Input.GetKey(KeyCode.RightArrow))
    {
        transform.Translate(10*Time.deltaTime,0,0);
    }
    if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.A) || Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.LeftArrow))
    {
        transform.Translate(-10*Time.deltaTime,0,0);
    }
    if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.A) || Input.GetKey(KeyCode.LeftArrow))
    {
        transform.Translate(-10*Time.deltaTime,0,0);
    }

the Time.deltaTime, leaves the movement smooth, replicating the effect of GetAxis, now if you want to get the effect of GetAxisRaw, just remove Time.deltaTime.

    if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.D) || Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.RightArrow))
    {
        transform.Translate(10,0,0);
    }
    if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.D) || Input.GetKey(KeyCode.RightArrow))
    {
        transform.Translate(10,0,0);
    }
    if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.A) || Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.LeftArrow))
    {
        transform.Translate(-10,0,0);
    }
    if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.A) || Input.GetKey(KeyCode.LeftArrow))
    {
        transform.Translate(-10,0,0);
    }
