Action Handler C# Help

Action Handler C# Help

#1 by Yiannis128

I've tried to set up an action handler in C# to take input from an xml file... However it does not work for some reason...

Code for the entity component that I have attached to an entity:

Code: Select all

	//Variables
        private const string actionMapUrl = @"Libs/config/defaultprofile.xml";
        private const string actionMapName = "player";
        private ActionHandler actionHandler;

        protected override void OnGameplayStart()
        {
            base.OnGameplayStart();

            InitializeInput();
        }

        //INPUT
        private void InitializeInput()
        {
            actionHandler?.Dispose();
            actionHandler = new ActionHandler(actionMapPath: actionMapUrl, actionMapName: actionMapName);

            actionHandler.AddHandler("moveforward", OnMoveForward);
        }
        
        private void OnMoveForward(string name, InputState state, float value)
        {
            if (state == InputState.Changed) Entity.Physics.Velocity += new Vector3(0, 0, 100);
        }

Code in the xml file (same as the xml in the fps template:

Code: Select all

<profile version="0">
	<platforms>
		<PC keyboard="1" xboxpad="1" ps4pad="1"/>
		<XboxOne keyboard="1" xboxpad="1" ps4pad="0"/>
		<PS4 keyboard="1" xboxpad="0" ps4pad="1"/>
	</platforms>
	
	<!--DO NOT REMOVE DEFAULT ACTIONMAP! NEEDED BY CRYACTION.-->
	<actionmap name="default" version="1"/>
	<!---->
	
	<actionmap name="player" version="1">
		<action name="moveleft" onPress="1" onRelease="1" retriggerable="1" keyboard="a"/>
		<action name="moveright" onPress="1" onRelease="1" retriggerable="1" keyboard="d"/>
		<action name="moveforward" onPress="1" onRelease="1" retriggerable="1" keyboard="w"/>
		<action name="moveback" onPress="1" onRelease="1" retriggerable="1" keyboard="s"/>
	</actionmap>  
</profile>

Normal buttons and keys send Pressed, Down and Released events. But Changed is only sent by analog-events, such as the mouse or analog-sticks on a controller.
So in your case you probably want to listen to the Pressed and Released events instead.
Example from the Third Person Template:

Code: Select all


if(state == InputState.Pressed)

{

	_movement.Y = 1.0f;

}

else if(state == InputState.Released)

{

	//The movement only needs to be stopped when the player is still moving forward.

	if(_movement.Y > 0.0f)

	{

	     _movement.Y = 0.0f;

	}

}
