Input handling

Input handling for the camera controller is implemented via the new Unity input system.

Note: To enable the new input system: Project settings -> Player -> Section "Configuration" and chose either "Input System Package (new)" or "Both" The demo scene requires "Both" because the character controller implements the old input scheme.

You can find the default input scheme in DOTS-TPC\Runtime\Settings\Input. Anything in there can be conviniently copy & pasted to your own input action maps. The default action map supports keyboard/mouse and gamepad out of the box.

This is how the default input action map looks: input

Several actions are predefined and this page will go over every one of them:

  • CameraAxis

    The action that is used for orbiting with mouse input. The action has a "Scale processor" of 0.05 to rougly match the old input system.

  • ControllerCameraAxis

    The same thing as CameraAxis, just for the gamepad. Also has a "Scale processor".

  • EnableFreeLook

    Left or Right mouse button will enable orbiting around. (A gamepad will ignore this action.)

    When the button is held, and the option is enabled in TPC, the target will always look in the same direction as the camera. Default is set to the Right mouse button.
