Multiple mice in Unity
I know multiple mice interfaces can be implemented in Flash through a C# workaround with the Microsoft WPF. Can the same be done with Unity?
I'm confused why there is a SD$$anonymous$$. $$anonymous$$ulti-input devices are supported at the Win32 level. Why is there an sdk needed?
I think the SD$$anonymous$$ is only for the Cursor and "Focus" events (which are actually different from the input device itself). I.e. which window gets keyboard events if you have multiple mice and each clicked on a different window or form field and stuff like that.
No. Unity only has support for a single pointing device. It also only supports one keyboard, and I believe up to 4 joysticks/gamepads, though I could be mistaken.
The best you could try is writing a C++ plugin to handle it, which requires Unity Pro, and a fairly extensive understanding of the Unity subsystem, though even then I'm not sure it would work.
Being a .NET developer for 6 years personally i reckon it would be possible. But like you said, it wouldn't be easy.
Of course it is possible, you have to implement custom C DLL for DLLImport, or a custom C# DLL. And somebody did this already: https://alastaira.wordpress.com/2015/08/04/multiple-mice-input-in-unity/
i don't know anything about the workaround that you are talking about but you can write a service/app to handle it and then communicate with unity using sockets.
Microsoft has an SDK for multiple mouse support, available here ... http://www.microsoft.com/multipoint/mouse-sdk/default.aspx
I'm not sure if dllimport would be sufficient to call this from Unity (but I'd love to hear from you if you try it :-)
