See video for issue: On-Screen Joystick Stutter/Lag [Unity Input System Bug] - YouTube
I’m using the On-Screen Joystick and Unity’s new Input System (starting from the defaut InputActions).
Basically any lag causes the movement to stutter, I don’t know if this is because the input gets set to 0 whenever the Joystick isn’t being dragged.
I’ve tested this issue on the computer (using the on-screen Joystick) where I suppose the input lag SHOULD be non-existent. Unless on-screen UI controls have some inherent lag.
Please note this is not occuring when I use WASD for movement. If I try to use Joystick on mobile, the problem is even worse
Before you ask: Yes I made sure the input system was set to Dynamic. And yes I made sure the InputAction does not have competing inputs. I have also tried switching between Update and FixedUpdate
Here’s all my code:
//My Player Controler
public void OnMovement(InputAction.CallbackContext value)
{
Vector2 inputMovement = value.ReadValue<Vector2>();
rawInputMovement = new Vector3(inputMovement.x, 0, inputMovement.y);
}
void CalculateMovementInputSmoothing()
{
smoothInputMovement = Vector3.Lerp(smoothInputMovement, rawInputMovement, Time.deltaTime * movementSmoothingSpeed);
}
void UpdatePlayerMovement()
{
mPlayerMovement.UpdateMovementData(smoothInputMovement);
}
void Update()
{
CalculateMovementInputSmoothing();
UpdatePlayerMovement();
}
//MyMovement Script
void FixedUpdate()
{
MoveThePlayer();
}
void MoveThePlayer()
{
Vector3 movement = movementDirection * movementSpeed * Time.deltaTime;
playerRigidbody.MovePosition(transform.position + movement);
}
public void UpdateMovementData(Vector3 newMovementDirection)
{
movementDirection = newMovementDirection;
}
