Hi, I’ve seen this issue in all releases of the Linux editor. Using the input manager, I have the scroll wheel mapped (screenshot attached) When running the game in editor, the input manager always returns a value of 0. I’m reading it with:
Input.GetAxis("Zoom")
If I do a build, and run that, it returns non zero values and works as expected. Is anyone else seeing this?
I’m running Ubuntu, 15.10, I also saw the issue on 15.04.
There seems to be a problem with the scrollwheel sensitivity in the editor, for me it’s half as much as it should be. I have the sensitivity at 0.1 in the input settings, but I’m seeing 0.05 when debugging. In build, it works as it should. Are you sure it’s returning 0 and not just less than you’d expect?
You can use platform dependent compilation and multiply it by two in the editor (won’t be included in build):
#if UNITY_EDITOR
Input.GetAxis("Zoom") * 2;
#endif
I use Ubuntu 15.10 as well.
Thanks for the reply LukeKotar, it lead me to some more interesting details. Apparently its not 0, if I times the value by 100 I see some values now. I’ve attached a screen shot of the values when multiplied by 100 for the dev team. I’ll use the conditional compilation trick as a work around for now, thanks!
EDIT: Actually, it is 0. If the game window has focus, it always reports 0 for me. If I click outside the Game window, eg: on some Unity3D UI, giving the editor focus, the game window then receives the scroll values. As soon as the window has focus again, scroll values return to 0.
Are you using an old editor build? “Allow mouse capture in game view” is listed in the build #2015090301’s release notes. You can download the latest build from the bottom of this thread: Unity on Linux: Release Notes and Known Issues
