I started switching my inputs to use the Input System. Everything seemed to be working well until I started switching the moving code. I’m using the “Move/WASD” action from the default player action map. My issue is that it doesn’t seem to read diagonal movement. Left/Right doesn’t mix with Up/Down on either WASD or the arrow keys. The Vector2 value I can read from the button press event never mixes them. If left and right are pressed at the same time, it triggers the cancel event. The same with up and down. But it never mixes Left/Right with Up/Down. If I press down, it will never trigger and event for left/right and if I hold down then hold left and then let go of down, it never triggers any other event until I let go of left to trigger the cancel event for the original down press event.
All I do at the event is grab the vector direction and hold it to update the position during Update().
public void Move(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
{
Debug.Log($"Started: {context.started} | Performed: {context.performed} | Canceled: {context.canceled} | MoveVec: {context.ReadValue<Vector2>()}");
_moveVector = context.ReadValue<Vector2>();
}
Is there something I’m not seeing. I’ve tried going through all of the Action Type and Control Types for Move action and all the Composite Types, Modes for the WASD composite. I can’t seem to get it to read two different axis. Would I have to make different actions for Left/Right and Up/Down?
UPDATE
I went ahead and separated the Up/Down and the Left/Right keys into their own actions and it seems to be working this way. Not sure this is the intended interaction though.
public void Move_UpDown(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
{
Debug.Log($"UpDown | Started: {context.started} | Performed: {context.performed} | Canceled: {context.canceled} | MoveVec: {context.ReadValue<Vector2>()}");
_moveVector.y = context.ReadValue<Vector2>().y;
}
public void Move_LefRight(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
{
Debug.Log($"LeftRight | Started: {context.started} | Performed: {context.performed} | Canceled: {context.canceled} | MoveVec: {context.ReadValue<Vector2>()}");
_moveVector.x = context.ReadValue<Vector2>().x;
}
