================

One script to ease input setup in Unity projects.

Quick start

C#

void Start() {
	OInput.GetDefaultProfile()
		.SetButton("Jump", "space")
		.SetButton("Fireball", "left ctrl");
}

void Update() {
	if (OInput.GetDefaultProfile().GetButton("Jump")) {
		Debug.Log("The plumber jumps.");
	}
	
	if (OInput.GetDefaultProfile().GetButton("Fireball")) {
		Debug.Log("The plumber throws a fireball.");
	}
}

Unity Script

function Start () {
	OInput.GetDefaultProfile()
		.SetButton("Jump", "space")
        .SetButton("Fireball", "left ctrl");
}

function Update () {
	if (OInput.GetDefaultProfile().GetButton("Jump")) {
        Debug.Log("The plumber jumps.");
    }
	
    if (OInput.GetDefaultProfile().GetButton("Fireball")) {
        Debug.Log("The plumber throws a fireball.");
    }
}

Features

Runtime actions

OInput class lets you set actions in your own code; no longer tied-up to axes setup in the project settings.

public Transform neck;

void Start() {
	OInput.GetDefaultProfile()
		.SetAxis("StretchingNeck", "joystick 1 axis 1");
}

void Update() {
	neck.Rotate(0, OInput.GetDefaultProfile().GetAxis("StretchingNeck") * 90 /* degrees */, 0);
}

Accepts both string parameters and built-in ones

// These lines ...
OInput.GetDefaultProfile().SetButton("Jump", "space");
OInput.GetDefaultProfile().SetAxis("Horizontal", "joystick 1 axis 1");
// work as well as ...
OInput.GetDefaultProfile().SetButton("Jump", KeyCode.Space);
OInput.GetDefaultProfile().SetAxis("Horizontal", OInput.Axis.Joystick1Axis1);

Profiles

Multiple profiles

Setting up multiple ways to control a character is easy with the OInput's profiles.

void Start () {
	// Sets the "Goofy" profile.
	OInput.GetProfile("Goofy")
		.SetButton("UltraMegaFlip", KeyCode.Space);
	
	// Sets the "Regular" profile.
	OInput.GetProfile("Regular")
		.SetButton("UltraMegaFlip", KeyCode.LeftControl);
	
	// Let's say the user chooses the "Goofy" profile.
	OInput.GetProfile("Goofy").SetAsDefault();
}

void Update () {
	// The boarder will shout when the player releases the space key.
	if (OInput.GetDefaultProfile().GetButtonUp("UltraMegaFlip")) {
		Debug.Log("Yeeeaaaaahhhhhhhh!");
	}
}

Profile persistence

void Start() {
	// Checks if the profile has saved data in the preferences (PlayerPrefs)
	if (OInput.GetDefaultProfile().hasSavedData) {
		OInput.GetDefaultProfile()
			.SetAxis("Horizontal", "joystick 1 axis 1")
			.Save(); // Saves through PlayerPrefs settings
		
		OInput.GetDefaultProfile()
			.Clear() // Clear() method clears all actions from a profile
			.SetAxis("NonImportantAxis", "joystick 3 axis 10");
	}
	
	// Loads the saved profile from memory
	OInput.GetDefaultProfile()
		.Load();
}

void Update() {
	// As the default profile is loaded to it's previous state, 
	// joystick 1 will be able to control the translation
	float translation = OInput.GetDefaultProfile().GetAxis("Horizontal") * 10.0f;
}

Controllers

Controller support

Adding controller buttons and axis to actions has never been simpler.

void Start() {
	// Setting up Player 1
	OInput.GetProfile("SpeedyHedgehog")
		.SetButton("Jump", KeyCode.Joystick1Button0)
		.SetAxis("Run", OInput.Axis.Joystick1Axis1);
		
	// Setting up Player 2
	OInput.GetProfile("FoxWith2Tails")
		.SetButton("Jump", KeyCode.Joystick2Button0)
		.SetAxis("Run", OInput.Axis.Joystick2Axis1);
}

Controller wrappers

The wrappers can help setting up profiles for controller input without worring about axis and button numbers. Why? Because it preprocesses the input to be uniform whatever the platform the game runs.

As there is no consistency across controllers (not even for the same controller across different platforms), wrappers can be used to setup a project fast.

Controllers wrappers	Code	Platforms
Xbox 360 controller	OInput.Xbox	Windows, Mac
Ouya controller	OInput.Ouya	Android

void Start() {
	OInput.Xbox.GetWrapper(OInput.GetDefaultProfile())
		.SetJoystick(OInput.Joystick.Joystick1)
		.SetAxis("Horizontal", OInput.Xbox.ControllerAxis.LeftStickX)
		.SetAxis("Vertical", OInput.Xbox.ControllerAxis.LeftStickY)
		.SetAxis("AimHorizontal", OInput.Xbox.ControllerAxis.RightStickX)
		.SetAxis("AimVertical", OInput.Xbox.ControllerAxis.RightStickY)
		.SetButton("Jump", OInput.Xbox.ControllerButton.A)
		.SetButton("Duck", OInput.Xbox.ControllerButton.B);
	
	// Wrappers doesn't change the ability to call a profile which has been wrapped
	OInput.GetDefaultProfile()
		.SetButton("Jump", "space")
		.SetAxis("Duck", "left ctrl");
}

void Update() {
	// When the A button on the controller or the spacebar is pressed...
	if (OInput.GetDefaultProfile().GetButton("Jump")) {
		// The character jumps.
		Debug.Log("Jumpin'!");
	}
}

Buttons and axes

Button and axis detection

Implementing a prompt asking a user to press a key is quite easy with OInput.

void Update() {
	if (OInput.DetectAxis() != OInput.Axis.None) {
		Debug.Log(OInput.DetectAxis() + " has been activated.");
	}
	
	if (OInput.DetectKeyDown() != KeyCode.None) {
		Debug.Log(OInput.DetectKeyDown() + " has been just pressed.");
	}
	
	if (OInput.DetectKey() != KeyCode.None) {
		Debug.Log(OInput.DetectKey() + " has been pressed.");
	}
	
	if (OInput.DetectKeyUp() != KeyCode.None) {
		Debug.Log(OInput.DetectKeyUp() + " has been released.");
	}
}

Multiple ways to set axes

Needing a axis output of 0 to 1 instead of the classic -1 to 1? You want to implement a virtual axis by keypresses? Need to mix 2 joystick axes into one?

void Start() {
	OInput.GetDefaultProfile()
		.SetAxis("SimpleAxis", OInput.Axis.Joystick1Axis1) // the 3rd parameter of SetAxis is false by default
		.SetAxis("RemappedAxis", OInput.Axis.Joystick1Axis2, true) // the 3rd parameter is for remapping or not
		.SetAxisKeys("VirtualAxis", KeyCode.A, KeyCode.D)
		.SetAxisMix("AxisMix", OInput.Axis.Joystick1Axis3, OInput.Axis.Joystick1Axis4);
}

void Update() {
	Debug.Log("SimpleAxis: " + OInput.GetDefaultProfile().GetAxis("SimpleAxis"));
	// Will log from -1 to 1
	
	Debug.Log("RemappedAxis: " + OInput.GetDefaultProfile().GetAxis("RemappedAxis"));
	// Will log from 0 to 1, -1 becomes 0, 0 becomes 0.5 and 1 stays 1.
	
	Debug.Log("VirtualAxis: " + OInput.GetDefaultProfile().GetAxis("VirtualAxis"));
	// Will log -1 when A key is pressed, 1 when D key is pressed, 0 when both or none of those is pressed.
	
	Debug.Log("AxisMix: " + OInput.GetDefaultProfile().GetAxis("AxisMix"));
	// Will log the sum of Joystick1Axis3 (mapped to 0 to -1) and Joystick1Axis4 (mapped to 0 to 1)
}

How to install?

• Download or clone the project.
• Put the OInput folder in the Assets/Standard Assets/Scripts folder of your project. If the folder doesn't exists, create it.
• Replace the InputManager.asset file in the ProjectSettings folder by the one you downloaded.

Issues

Don't forget you can seek and fill issues in the project's issue tracker.

Notable issues

• OInput is not compatible with the Input Manager window.
• OInput.Profile.GetAxis() and OInput.Profile.GetRawAxis() return the same values, as keyboard smoothing has not been implemented yet.
• OInput.Ouya wrapper is not functionnal yet.
• OInput.Xbox wrapper works only on Mac and Windows.

Planned features

• Complete Ouya controller support.
• Keyboard axis smoothing.
• Detect input overlap between profiles.
• Set a joystick axis input as a button.

What does OInput stands for?

Originally intended to be called OpenInput, the project/file has been quickly renamed OInput for the sake of usability.
