Hello @Krashy, yes you can use input system on your DOTS Projects. Check this sample code that Unity Posted on the GitHub.
Another sample of Mouse event like pointing and clicking code, you can try this ECS code.
public class PointAndClick : MonoBehaviour
{
public static readonly RAYCAST_DISTANCE = 1000;
public Camera Cam;
PhysicsWorld physicsWorld => World.DefaultGameObjectInjectionWorld.GetExistingSystem<BuildPhysicsWorld>().PhysicsWorld;
EntityManager entityManager => World.DefaultGameObjectInjectionWorld.EntityManager;
void LateUpdate()
{
if (!Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0) || Cam == null) return;
var screenPointToRay = Cam.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
var rayInput = new RaycastInput
{
Start = screenPointToRay.origin,
End = screenPointToRay.GetPoint(RAYCAST_DISTANCE),
Filter = CollisionFilter.Default
};
if (!physicsWorld.CastRay(rayInput, out RaycastHit hit)) return;
var selectedEntity = physicsWorld.Bodies[hit.RigidBodyIndex].Entity;
var renderMesh = entityManager.GetSharedComponentData<RenderMesh>(selectedEntity);
var mat = new UnityEngine.Material(renderMesh.material);
mat.SetColor("_Color", UnityEngine.Random.ColorHSV());
renderMesh.material = mat;
entityManager.SetSharedComponentData(selectedEntity, renderMesh);
}
}
