Description

A BaseInputModule designed for mouse / keyboard / controller input.

Input module for working with, mouse, keyboard, or controller.

cancelButtonInput manager name for the 'cancel' button.
forceModuleActiveForce this module to be active.
horizontalAxisInput manager name for the horizontal axis button.
inputActionsPerSecondNumber of keyboard / controller inputs allowed per second.
repeatDelayDelay in seconds before the input actions per second repeat rate takes effect.
submitButtonMaximum number of input events handled per second.
verticalAxisInput manager name for the vertical axis.

Protected Methods

ProcessMouseEventIterate through all the different mouse events.
ProcessMousePressCalculate and process any mouse button state changes.
ProcessTouchPressThis method is called by Unity whenever a touch event is processed. Override this method with a custom implementation to process touch events yourself.
