Struct InputStateBlock

Information about a memory region storing input state.

Inherited Members
Namespace: UnityEngine.InputSystem.LowLevel
Assembly: Unity.InputSystem.dll
Syntax
public struct InputStateBlock
Remarks

Input state is kept in raw memory blocks. All state is centrally managed by the input system; controls cannot keep their own independent state.

Each state block is tagged with a format code indicating the storage format used for the memory block. This can either be one out of a set of primitive formats (such as "INT") or a custom format code indicating a more complex format.

Memory using primitive formats can be converted to and from primitive values directly by this struct.

State memory is bit-addressable, meaning that it can be offset from a byte address in bits (bitOffset) and is sized in bits instead of bytes (sizeInBits). However, in practice, bit-addressing memory reads and writes are only supported on the bitfield primitive format.

Input state memory is restricted to a maximum of 4GB in size. Offsets are recorded in 32 bits.
