This post is shamelessly a copy/paste from my post on the Unity Forums : https://forum.unity.com/threads/input-system-doesnt-trigger-anything-anymore.717386/, but Stack Overflow seems more active
TL;DR : InputSystem worked some days ago, don't trigger anything anymore, halp.
I tried the new Input System some days ago, and that's really neat ! I did a lot of stuff, trying to understand the best way to use it, and, in the end, I had a character jumping and moving everywhere, that was cool ! Then, I merged my code in our develop branch and went to bed.
Today, I want to continue my code, but my character doesn't move anymore, Actions are not triggered (even if inputs are detected in debugger) and I really don't know why. Either the code merge overwrote some important settings (I know what you're thinking and yes, the "Active Input Handling" is set on "Both" and I tried only running the preview) or I did something important during my little tests and I didn't realize.
So I decided to try to reproduce my steps on a fresh new project, maybe you guys can help me figure what do I do wrong ?
1/ Create a new 2D project (via the Hub)
2/ Install the latest Package (version 0.9.0)
3/ Click Yes on that message prompt to activate the new Input management in the settings
4/ Restart Unity Editor since it didn't restart even if the message said it would and check the project settings (yes, it's on "Both", and yes, my Scripting Runtime Version is 4.0)
5/ Create a new GameObject and add a PlayerInput on it
6/ Click on "Open Input Settings" and create an "InputSettings" asset
7/ Click on "Create Actions..." to create my ActionMap asset
8/ Create a "TestAction" on my "Player" ActionMap and set it to the key "t"
9/ Create a new Script "TestScript" that contains a OnTestAction() method (that only logs "test") and enables the test map/action (just to be sure) :
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.InputSystem;
using UnityEngine.InputSystem.PlayerInput;
public class TestScript : MonoBehaviour
{
void Start()
{
InputActionMap playerActionMap = GetComponent<PlayerInput>().actions.GetActionMap("Player");
playerActionMap.Enable();
playerActionMap.GetAction("TestAction").Enable(); //Just to be sure
}
public void OnTestAction()
{
Debug.Log("test");
}
}
10/ Pressing "Play" and spamming "T" like a madman to try to display a debug (note that, in the debugger, a User is created, my "t" presses are detected, my TestAction exists and is mapped on the "t" key but no debug is displayed
It's probably a silly problem, but it's driving me crazy, what do I do wrong ? It's even more infuriating that it worked some days ago !
Additional information :
- Switching the Input Management from "Both" to "New Input System (preview) does nothing
- Checking in Update() is my action is enabled returns "True" every frame
- Checking in Update() is my action is triggered returns "False" every frame
- Using action.started/triggered/performed does nothing (I tried also switching to UnityEvent or C# events for this) :
public class TestScript : MonoBehaviour
{
InputAction a;
void Start()
{
InputActionMap playerActionMap = GetComponent<PlayerInput>().actions.GetActionMap("Player");
playerActionMap.Enable();
a = playerActionMap.GetAction("TestAction");
a.Enable(); //Just to be sure
a.started += OnTriggeredTestAction;
a.performed += OnTriggeredTestAction;
a.canceled += OnTriggeredTestAction;
}
public void OnTestAction()
{
Debug.Log("test");
}
public void OnTriggeredTestAction(InputAction.CallbackContext ctx)
{
Debug.Log("test triggered");
}
}
Injecting directly the InputActionReference of my TestAction and using it does nothing
Forcing "Default Control Scheme" and "Default Action Map" does nothing
Using BroadcastMessage or UnityEvents doesn't work
You probably tried to import a new input system package for multiple input devices compatibility. These types of errors are due to conflict between old and new input system packages and are probably resolved in the latest updates.
To resolve this issue, Go to Edit -> Project Settings->Player->Under Other Settings under Configuration is the option Active Input Handling. Select Both. Unity will restart. Now your problem should be solved. You will be able to use old input system packages and the new ones also simultaneously.
Check for rogue users in the input debugger
I was having very similar symptoms (Input System would randomly just stop sending callbacks). When I opened up the input debugger, it was registering the key presses, but the callbacks were never being called in my script.
Restarting Unity didn't help.
Rebooting didn't help.
I also discovered in the input debugger that there were 2 "users" in the input system and (by process of disabling Game Objects in the scene one at a time) discovered that I had accidentally attached another copy of my Input Action Asset to a different Game Object in the scene and that Unity was registering this other object as a 2nd player or "user", which was assigned all the input action bindings I was trying to capture.
The rogue Action Asset was essentially intercepting the actions, preventing the callbacks from being called on the intended script. I don't know if that's your particular issue, but maybe it will help someone else who (like me) has spent hours pouring through forums, looking for a solution to this elusive problem.
An easy way to tell if you have the same problem is to open the input debugger and see if the desired actions are actually mapped to the user of interest.
Screen clip of input debugger:
For me, there was an unexpected User #1 and only one of the users (not the intended one) actually had keys bound to the desired actions
Posting just incase others run into this issue, as this solved my problem. Make sure to call Enable() for it to start routing events.
//Create a and set the reference
private InputControls _inputMapping;
private void Awake() => _inputMapping = new InputControls();
//Route and Un-route events
private void OnEnable() => _inputMapping.Enable();
private void OnDisable() => _inputMapping.Disable();
I don't know if this will work for you but it worked for me and I was having the same issue.
I had created 2 control schemes. Mobile and Pc. Mobile required touch screen and PC required keyboard and Mouse. Doing this made my Mobile input event stop firing. So adding the Gamepad to my Mobile Control scheme allowed the events to fire again.
TLDR. Check your control scheme make sure it allows for the inputs your binding to.
I had a similar problem, reproduced with exactly the steps described in the question.
In my case, I forgot to set control schemes.
The problem was fixed after adding them.
To do so:
Open your Input Action Asset.
Select a control scheme, in the upper left corner. (say, Keyboard) (if you haven't added a control scheme to begin with, your problem may be different than mine)
Go Right Click > Edit Control Scheme.
EditControlScehme Screen Img
Click on the plus sign to add a control scheme to the list.
Add control scheme to the list Screen Img
Select the control scheme you want to add. (in this case, Keyboard)
Select control scheme Screen Img
Should look like this:
Added control scheme Screen Img
You're all set. Save everything and the problem should be fixed.
Play your game and it should work.
As of at least Unity 2020.1.2 and Input System 1.0.0 the input system will randomly stop working correctly. The only fix I'm aware of is restarting Unity.
In my app I need to measure a camera data if the glasses are moving or not. I get the data with:
quaternions["x"] = Camera.main.transform.rotation.x;
quaternions["y"] = Camera.main.transform.rotation.y;
quaternions["z"] = Camera.main.transform.rotation.z;
quaternions["w"] = Camera.main.transform.rotation.w;
quaternions["tx"] = Camera.main.transform.position.x;
quaternions["ty"] = Camera.main.transform.position.y;
quaternions["tz"] = Camera.main.transform.position.z;
If I move the glasses, the app works fine. But if I leave the glasses on the table, then after 4 minutes the glasses disable display and the code returns last stored data. Even if the charge cable is plugged in. If I press enable button on the glasses, the display is on again and the data is also right.
Is there some possibility to prevent the glasses falling asleep?
According to comment of #Kay, the solution is adding the line:
Screen.sleepTimeout = SleepTimeout.NeverSleep;
NOTE: this solution works if you use MixedRealityToolkit-Unity because it needs:
using UnityEngine;
You can adjust the sleep settings using the Device Portal under System->Preference.
When on battery, go to sleep after
When plugged in, go to sleep after
I am attatching an HTC Vive tracker to a real life object to use that object in game. The tracker is found in the game itself and the movement and rotation are updated perfectly fine. But getting the input to work is the problem here. The Tracker its pins are connected correctly and the input can be seen working in the Input Debugger in the SteamVR Input Binding Tool.
I have tried to find any help on the internet but everything seems to be outdated. The controller themselves do work with the custom input function I have added but the tracker refuses to work. There are no errors at all. The code simply calls a shoot function to shoot a bullet out of a gun. The input is recieved by the controller, both of them, but the tracker which has the exact same settings as the controllers doesn't seem to work.
[SerializeField] private GunScript gunScript;
[SerializeField] private SteamVR_Action_Boolean input;
void Update()
{
if (input.stateDown)
{
gunScript.Shoot(gunScript.ShotTransform.rotation);
}
}
The current output does shoot the gun when using the trigger which is set in the Input Binding Tool when using a normal controller, but when pressing the trigger attatched to the tracker nothing happens, no errors either.
// on start
var allDevices = new List<InputDevice>();
InputDevices.GetDevices(allDevices);
InputDevice tracker = allDevices.FirstOrDefault(d => d.role == InputDeviceRole.HardwareTracker);
// on update
tracker.TryGetFeatureValue(CommonUsages.devicePosition, out var pos);
tracker.TryGetFeatureValue(CommonUsages.deviceRotation, out var rot);
// NOTE!!! pos and rot are in world position so you have to translate it to floor
SteamVR_Action_Boolean.stateDown is a shortcut to SteamVR_Input_Sources.Any
but as you can see in SteamVR_Input_Sources there is no entry for trackers at all so also Any will not get a tracker input.
There are a ton of tutorials for how to get controller input but I also couldn't find anything about getting button input for Vive Trackers. Apparently this is not intended ...
It makes sense though since the button is also the Trackers connection/power button ... it would probably not be a good idea to make the User press that button in order to trigger some actions.
In their HTC_Vive_Tracker Guidelines they point to
If you encounter problems in enabling VIVETracker(2018)on Unityor Unreal, refer to the following links:
For Unity 3D developers:
Downloadlink for the ViveInputUtility package: AssetStore or GitHub
Vive Input Utility source code repository:https://github.com/ViveSoftware/ViveInputUtility-Unity
Maybe there is something helpfull there though it seems this is also more for controllers etc. not for getting the Tracker's button input.
I am developing an app in unity in which the user can take photos using their device camera. This is working great using Unity's webcamtexture. However, there is no flash support for webcamtexture, so I have written my own code to access the device Torch. The code WORKS - However it doesn't work while streaming the webcamtexture (the camera is in use so the java service call returns an error). Does anyone have any suggestions for how to get around this issue? Is there any way to use Unity's WebCamTexture to activate the camera torch? Here is my code for activating the camera torch:
AndroidJavaClass cameraClass = new AndroidJavaClass("android.hardware.Camera");
// This is an ugly hack to make Unity
// generate Camera permisions
WebCamDevice[] devices = WebCamTexture.devices;
int camID = 0;
camera = cameraClass.CallStatic<AndroidJavaObject>("open", camID);
// I'm pretty sure camera will never be null at this point
// It will either be a valid object or Camera.open would throw an exception
if (camera != null)
{
AndroidJavaObject cameraParameters = camera.Call<AndroidJavaObject>("getParameters");
cameraParameters.Call("setFlashMode","torch");
camera.Call("setParameters",cameraParameters);
Active = true;
}
Try checking out camera capture kit for unity. It gives that functionality you want for Android as well as the source code for it.

I have having alot of issues loading in textures into my simple game. First off, I am able to load in a texture when im inside of "Game1.cs". However, I am currently trying to create a level. So I want to load in all the pictures in the Level class.
public Level(IServiceProvider _serviceProvider)
{
content = new ContentManager(_serviceProvider, "Content");
mNrOfTextures = 3;
mTextures[] = new Texture2D[mNrTextures];
mTextures[0] = Content.Load<Texture2D>("sky");
//And then more textures and other stuff..
}
But the program can never find the file sky. I dont really get any useful error messages and im moving away from any tutorials currently. Can anyone point me into the right direction?
Full path to file: C:\c++\ProjIV\ProjIV\ProjIVContent\
I personally just pass my ContentManager to my level class, instead of passing the service provider as others do.
In this case, you need to use your local content instance, not the static Content
mTextures[0] = content.Load<Texture2D>("sky");
EDIT: I see this did not work, can you attach a picture of your solution layout with the content?
