No option of 2D Vector Composite in Input System 1.0.0?

Unity Engine
1

I’m adding the new input system to an existing game, but when adding the input actions through the editor I’m not getting an option of 2D Vector Composite? I am getting 1D Axis Composite, and if I select this I can set positive and negative bindings and so forth, but I simply want to add a WASD action, and it’s not letting me.
I’m running 2019.3.13f1 with input system 1.0.0 (no preview).
I installed via package manager, set new input in project settings and rebooted.
I created a settings asset (with all left as default). I also added Gamepad, Keyboard and Mouse to supported Devices (though I have tried deleting these and it made no difference).
I then added an input actions asset and created an action map with a single action - Movement.
Expanding the drop down shows , but trying to set the Path under Bindings shows nothing, just Usages.
Attempting to add a new binding (under Movement) gives me four options, New Binding, 1D Axis, and Button with one or two Modifiers - no 2D Vector.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled, rebooting between steps, and am now at a loss as to what to try next

Any Ideas greatly appreciated

Hi, I had the same problem earlier today and, in case you still need a fix for this (even though it’s been a month), I found the solution: I’m leaving this answer here for anyone who needs it.
The changeling for preview 0.9.3 says “When adding a composite, only ones compatible with the value type of the current action are shown. This will, for example, no longer display a 2D Vector composite as an option on a floating-point button action”.
To show the 2D vector composite just change the action type to “value” and the control type to “Vector2”. Now the 2D vector composite option will appear :slight_smile:

For those who use Input System 1.3.0
Add 2D Vector composite has been replaced with Add Up/Down/Left/Right Composite option
That’s the same thing

You need to set Action Properties (green) to Value and Vector 2
After that, the Add Up/Down/Left/Right Composite option should appear

If you need 3D Vector Composite, same thing
Just change Vector 2 to Vector 3 in Action Properties and the option should appear
