Title: Simulate keypresses/input as if using a real physical keyboard/mouse
Post by: AndroYD on September 28, 2018, 05:52:22 AM

Hello,
I've read this article here: https://answers.unity.com/questions/588786/is-it-possible-to-simulate-a-keypressinput-in-code.html
And apparently it's totally possible to do it in Windows with Unity, any hero willing to port this code into Playmaker, please?
That would be very incredibly useful, no more struggling with converting a project from using physical keys to virtual buttons, not to mention for automating repetitive tasks.
Thanks in advance.

Hi.
I actually use something recently from github :
https://github.com/kmpm/MoJ/tree/master/references/InputSimulator.0.1.0.0-bin

I also made actions for this that will be included in one of my upcoming assets.
(hoping to release in 2 weeks)

Seems this forums Jean is an expert on (https://answers.unity.com/questions/28473/simulating-key-presses.html) this 😊

Hi,

 well, this applies to those who can code.

 today, I would simply recommand using a proper Input Manager like Rewired ( https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/utilities/rewired-21676) which has PlayMaker support.

 then you have extrem power in handling complex input scenarios.

 Bye,

 Jean

Hi jean.

I don't think that rewired works in the window environment.
(outside the game)

I made an app for my midi controller so i could set some strings on a midi key
this way i only need to press the midi key to set a url link like the link to the Ecosystem (https://hutonggames.fogbugz.com/default.asp?W1181)

Code: [Select]

Exactly what Djaydino said, imagine even doing some crazy Psycho Mantis stuff ( https://youtu.be/t0oHnGM_iQw?t=1m22s (https://youtu.be/t0oHnGM_iQw?t=1m22s)) in a horror game.
