Using old input system (GetAxis) gamepad and keyboard to set mouse position

Unity Engine

Hello,

I am upgrading an old game to publish it on steam.

It is using the old input system and I do not want to upgrade it to the new one because that would be much work. But can I use the old one still and also have features from the new one?

I want to check two things (with the old version)

  • is the gamepad still connected if I use it (via GetAxis) - I can even see a warning if I disconnect it but do not know how to check that
  • how do I use the GetAxis like a mouse? With new input I would have Mouse.current.WarpCursorPosition, how do I do it without or can I use it somehow?

I have set input system to “Both” in the build options but still cannot access “Mouse.current” (does not find “Mouse”).

Thanks a lot :slight_smile: If I search I find the new input always…

I needed to import the new input system package after setting it to “both”.
Now it seems to work with Mouse.current.WarpCursorPosition, I am now trying to find a simple way to access buttons by “Fire1” or something similar…
