InputSystem Changelog

0.2.6-preview #

NOTE: The UI code for editing actions has largely been rewritten. There may be regressions. NOTE: The minimum version requirement for the new input system has been bumped to 2019.1

Added

• Support gamepad vibration on Switch.
• Added support for Joysticks on Linux.

Actions

• Added ability to change which part of a composite a binding that is part of the composite is assigned to.
  • Part bindings can now be freely duplicated or copy-pasted. This allows having multiple bindings for "up", for example. Changing part assignments retroactively allows to freely edit the composite makeup.
• Can now drag&drop multiple items as well as drop items onto others (equivalent to cut&paste). Holding ALT copies data instead of moving it.
• Edits to control schemes are now undoable.
• Control schemes are now sorted alphabetically.
• Can now search by binding group (control scheme) or devices directly from search box.
  • g:Gamepad filters bindings to those in the "Gamepad" group.
  • d:Gamepad filters bindings to those from Gamepad-compatible devices.

Changed

• The input debugger will no longer automatically show remote devices when the profiler is connected. Instead, use the new menu in debugger toolbar to connect to players or to enable/disable remote input debugging.
• "Press and Release" interactions will now invoke the performed callback on both press and release (instead of invoking performed and cancel, which was inconsistent with other behaviors).

Actions

• Bindings have GUIDs now like actions and maps already did. This allows to persistently and uniquely identify individual bindings.
• Replaced UI overlay while rebinding interactively with cancellable progress bar. Interactive rebinding now cancels automatically after 4 seconds without suitable input.
• Bindings that are not assigned to any control scheme are now visible when a particular control scheme is selected.
  • Bindings not assigned to any control scheme are active in ALL control schemes.
  • The change makes this visible in the UI now.
  • When a specific control scheme is selected, these bindings are affixed with {GLOBAL} for added visibility.
• When filtering by devices from a control scheme, the filtering now takes layout inheritance into account. So, a binding to a control on Pointer will now be shown when the filter is Mouse.
• The public control picker API has been revised.
  • The simplest way to add control picker UI to a control path is to add an InputControlAttribute to the field.

    // In the inspector, shows full UI to select a control interactively
    // (including interactive picking through device input).
    [InputControl(layout = "Button")]
    private string buttonControlPath;
    

• Processors of incompatible types will now be ignored instead of throwing an exception.

Fixed

• Remote connections in input debugger now remain connected across domain reloads.
• Don't incorrectly create non-functioning devices if a physical device implements multiple incompatible logical HID devices (such as the MacBook keyboard/touch pad and touch bar).
• Removed non-functioning sort triangles in event list in Input Debugger device windows.
• Sort events in input debugger window by id rather then by timestamp.
• Make parsing of float parameters support floats represented in "e"-notation and "Infinity".
• Input device icons in input debugger window now render in appropriate resolution on retina displays.
• Fixed Xbox Controller on macOS reporting negative values for the sticks when represented as dpad buttons.
• InputSettings.UpdateMode.ProcessEventsManually now correctly triggers updates when calling InputSystem.Update(InputUpdateType.Manual).

Actions

• Pasting or duplicating an action in an action map asset will now assign a new and unique ID to the action.
• "Add Action" button being active and triggering exceptions when no action map had been added yet.
• Fixed assert when generating C# class and make sure it gets imported correctly.
• Generate directories as needed when generating C# class, and allow path names without "Assets/" path prefix.
• Allow binding dpad controls to actions of type "Vector2".
• Fixed old name of action appearing underneath rename overlay.
• Fixed inspector UIs for on-screen controls throwing exceptions and being non-functional.
• Fixed deleting multiple items at same time in action editor leading to wrong items being deleted.
• Fixed copy-pasting actions not preserving action properties other than name.
• Fixed memory corruptions coming from binding resolution of actions.
• InputActionAssetReferences in ScriptableObjects will continue to work after domain reloads in the editor.
• Fixed startTime and duration properties of action callbacks.
