Binding types

You can configure how bindings map to actions with binding types. The following binding types are available:

• Simple: A single control maps directly to an action. For example, a gamepad stick to a Move action, or a gamepad button to a Jump action.
• Composite: Construct a binding from multiple simple bindings.

When you add a binding you must select the appropriate binding type for your action.

Some examples of composite bindings are:

• A four-way composite binding, where four keyboard keys map to an action whose control type is a 2D vector, so that each of the keys maps to up, down, left, and right respectively. In this scenario, the four key bindings are simple bindings grouped together into into the composite four-way binding.

• A modifier composite binding, where one control represents the main binding, and a second control represents a modifier key which changes the effect of the main binding - such as holding down the control key on a keyboard before also pressing a letter key. In this scenario, the two separate key bindings are simple bindings grouped together into the composite modifier binding.
