Title: Clean way to turn get axis into a bool? [SOLVED]
Post by: everycolorfades on July 24, 2018, 02:38:38 PM

I'm making a 3d sidescroller so I'd like to have get axis register more as get button down, where it's either on or off, however I like that get axis seems more universal without having to mess around with key codes from multiple controllers.

The issue I'm having is the multiplier, it takes a second or two for the axis to reach it's full amount so when the right key (or whatever direction) is no longer pressed it will take a second before my character stops running.

So even if I turn the value into a bool, say if >.1=on, the multiplier will still go all the way up to 1, which is fine until the key is no longer pressed and the 'cool down' period starts.
Any ideas?

Hi,

 you need to tweak the Input setting for them axis, it;'s inside the Input manager of Unity that you can remove any latency and your axis is going to have no easing.

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-InputManager.html

else, compare the axis value against 0 with a very small threshold, and that will do too, as soon as the axis is not zero, you raise a bool to true.


Bye,

Hi.
Inside the input manager you need to set the 'Gravity' and the 'Sensitivity' to a high number.

Also you can use the action 'Axis Event' if you use them as a on/off state or 'Axis Event Extended' (on the Ecosystem (https://hutonggames.fogbugz.com/default.asp?W1181))
