Getting input

namespace: qASIC.InputManagement

Getting actions​

To get the value of an action, call one of the GetInput methods.

public void Example()
{
    //True on the first frame the action was activated
    InputManager.GetInputDown("jump");
    //True while the user is holding down the action
    InputManager.GetInput("jump");
    //True on the last frame the user was holding down the action
    InputManager.GetInputUp("jump");

    //You are also able to specify groups
    InputManager.GetInputDown("UI", "console");
}

Getting axes​

To get the value of an axis, call one of the GetMapAxis methods.

public void Example()
{
    //Returns the axis ranging between -1 and 1
    InputManager.GetMapAxis("horizontal");
    //Returns the raw axis that can be equal -1 0 or 1
    InputManager.GetMapAxisRaw("vertical");

    //You are also able to specify groups
    InputManager.GetMapAxis("car", "horizontal");
    InputManager.GetMapAxisRaw("car", "vertical");
}

Creating axes​

Axes can be created during runtime by calling one of the CreateAxis methods.

public void Example()
{
    //Creating an axis from actions
    InputManager.CreateAxis("forward (positive)", "backward (negative)");

    //Creating an axis from key codes
    InputManager.CreateAxis(KeyCode.W, KeyCode.S);

    //Creating an axis from booleans
    InputManager.CreateAxis(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W), Input.GetKey(KeyCode.S));
}
