Implements

IInputEventTypeInfo.typeStatic

Methods

From(InputDevice, out InputEventPtr, Allocator)

Read the current state of device and create a state event from it.

Declaration

public static NativeArray<byte> From(InputDevice device, out InputEventPtr eventPtr, Allocator allocator = null)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
InputDevice	device	Device to grab the state from. Must be a device that has been added to the system.
InputEventPtr	eventPtr	Receives a pointer to the newly created state event.
Allocator	allocator	Which native allocator to allocate memory for the event from. By default, the buffer is allocated as temporary memory (. Note that this means the buffer will not be valid past the current frame. Use if the buffer for the state event is meant to persist for longer.

Returns

Type	Description
NativeArray<Byte>	Buffer of unmanaged memory allocated for the event.

From(InputEventPtr)

Return the given InputEventPtr as a StateEvent pointer.

Declaration

public static StateEvent*From(InputEventPtr ptr)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
InputEventPtr	ptr	A pointer to an input event. The pointer is checked for null and for whether the type of event it refers to is indeed a StateEvent.

Returns

Type	Description
StateEvent*	Pointer ptr converted to a StateEvent pointer.

FromDefaultStateFor(InputDevice, out InputEventPtr, Allocator)

Create a state event for the given device and copy the default state of the device into the event.

Declaration

public static NativeArray<byte> FromDefaultStateFor(InputDevice device, out InputEventPtr eventPtr, Allocator allocator = null)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
InputDevice	device	Device to create a state event for. Must be a device that has been added to the system.
InputEventPtr	eventPtr	Receives a pointer to the newly created state event.
Allocator	allocator	Which native allocator to allocate memory for the event from. By default, the buffer is allocated as temporary memory (. Note that this means the buffer will not be valid past the current frame. Use if the buffer for the state event is meant to persist for longer.

Returns

Type	Description
NativeArray<Byte>	Buffer of unmanaged memory allocated for the event.

GetEventSizeWithPayload<TState>()

Declaration

public static int GetEventSizeWithPayload<TState>()
    where TState : struct

Returns

Type	Description
Int32

Type Parameters

Name	Description
TState

GetState<TState>()

Retrieve the state stored in the event.

Declaration

public TState GetState<TState>()
    where TState : struct, IInputStateTypeInfo

Returns

Type	Description
TState	Copy of the state stored in the event.

Type Parameters

Name	Description
TState	Type of state expected to be stored in the event. format must match stateFormat.

Remarks

The event may contain less or more data than what is found in the struct. Only the data found in the event is copied. The remainder of the struct is left at default values.

GetState<TState>(InputEventPtr)

GetState<TState>(InputEventPtr)

Retrieve the state stored in the event.

Declaration

public static TState GetState<TState>(InputEventPtr ptr)
    where TState : struct, IInputStateTypeInfo

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
InputEventPtr	ptr	A pointer to an input event. The pointer is checked for null and for whether the type of event it refers to is indeed a StateEvent.

Returns

Type	Description
TState	Copy of the state stored in the event.

Type Parameters

Name	Description
TState	Type of state expected to be stored in the event. format must match stateFormat.

Remarks

The event may contain less or more data than what is found in the struct. Only the data found in the event is copied. The remainder of the struct is left at default values.
