I’ve read the input manager and input entries. I know about the enumerated types for th various GetKey functions. But can’t find where to see the following:
In the input manager (see attached) there are words used to to indicate what button applies to each of the axes. “mouse 2” for example. Where can I find these words? They are not the same as what the enumerated types show. I’m guessing which is how I found “up”. If it sticks, it’s used.
Hopefully there’s a quick link that has just eluded my searches.
Thanks!
Eric,
Thanks. I’ve read that (and lord knows I’ve landed on it a bunch of times!) but what I want to know is what values can you put into the “Negative Button” and “Positive Button” fields. In the example it uses the word “left” and I’ve discovered that I can use “up” and “down” but can’t find any documentation to list what acceptable values are.
Thanks for your time,
Jeff G.
Please read the entire page I linked to.

Sometimes…
Yup, that’s what I was looking for and I’ll bet I’d been to that page a half dozen times. Go figure.
Thanks.
