Class OnScreenControl
Base class for on-screen controls.
Inherited Members
Namespace: UnityEngine.InputSystem.OnScreen
Syntax
public abstract class OnScreenControl : MonoBehaviour
Remarks
The set of on-screen controls together forms a device. A control layout is automatically generated from the set and a device using the layout is added to the system when the on-screen controls are enabled.
The layout that the generated layout is based on is determined by the control paths chosen for each on-screen control. If, for example, an on-screen control chooses the 'a' key from the "Keyboard" layout as its path, a device layout is generated that is based on the "Keyboard" layout and the on-screen control becomes the 'a' key in that layout.
If a GameObject has multiple on-screen controls that reference different types of device layouts (e.g. one control references 'buttonWest' on a gamepad and another references 'leftButton' on a mouse), then a device is created for each type referenced by the setup.
Properties
control
The actual control that is fed input from the on-screen control.
Declaration
public InputControl control { get; }
Property Value
Type | Description |
---|---|
InputControl |
Remarks
This is only valid while the on-screen control is enabled. Otherwise, it is null. Also, if no controlPath has been set, this will remain null even if the component is enabled.
controlPath
Declaration
public string controlPath { get; set; }
Property Value
Type | Description |
---|---|
String |
controlPathInternal
Declaration
protected abstract string controlPathInternal { get; set; }
Property Value
Type | Description |
---|---|
String |
Remarks
Moving the definition of how the control path is stored into subclasses allows them to apply their own InputControlAttribute attributes to them and thus set their own layout filters.
