Input System 1.1.0 Resolving ambiguous gyroscope error
Solution: @sacredgeometry pointed out that I needed to write out my reference to the full extent to differentiate the two gyroscopes. While I had tried InputSystem.Gyroscope vs Gyroscope thinking the UnityEngine portion was automatically included, I in fact needed to write it out as UnityEngine.InputSystem.Gyroscope .
Building on a previous script to see what sensors my phone has, I decided to test for all sensors in the new input management system. Full code at bottom. Everything is set up fine except that I get the error message: Error CS0104 'Gyroscope' is an ambiguous reference between 'UnityEngine.InputSystem.Gyroscope' and 'UnityEngine.Gyroscope'
To use the new Input Management System I need to include a using UnityEngine.InputSystem statement. However, I also need the using UnityEngine statement; otherwise, Monobehavior is not recognized. So as far as I know, I need both statements.
I tried to specify in code that the gyroscope I wanted to use was the InputSystem gyroscope by declaring it this way: InputSystem.Gyroscope gyroscope; However, that leads to Error CS0426The type name 'Gyroscope' does not exist in the type 'InputSystem' . Does anyone know how to clear up the ambiguity between gyroscopes when using Input Management System 1.1.0? The user guide does not make any statements about confusion between the two. https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.1/manual/Sensors.html https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.1/manual/QuickStartGuide.html

When you have an ambiguous reference it means that two types exist with the same name the way to get around this is to just specify the type with the full namespace
i.e.
UnityEngine.InputSystem.Gyroscope
You could also use an alias to shorten it: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/keywords/using-directive
Thanks. That worked. I didn't realize I had to write it ALL the way out. I thought InputSystem.Gyroscope would do it. I had seen that alias article on $$anonymous$$icrosoft's site but since I didn't know how to write it out, I didn't know how I would do the alias. Now it makes sense.
Wonderful. I don't suppose you $$anonymous$$d accepting my answer please?
I apologize. I upvoted and thought that did it.
