Why does the keyboard control what button is selected?

--FINAL EDIT-- Again IDK why I cant make a new answer so I'm editing this one. Ignore everything else in this answer, except what is in this section... All I needed to do was import UnityEngine.EventSystems and insert the line EventSystem.current.SetSelectedGameObject(null);(where it makes sense to place it). That's it, seriously.

So I thought of a solution...when none of the panels attached to those buttons are displayed, I have to manually deselect the toolbar. I don't know how to do that yet or if it's even possible, but when I get around to fixing that I will come back here and post the answer and mark it correct. I will fix this issue one way or another, mark my words and date it July 19th, 2020.

--Edit-- IDK why I cant make a new answer so I'm editing this one.

I edited StandaloneInputModule.cs by copying that script to a new script since that one is uneditable. Anyways, I just commented out shouldactivate |= input.getbuttondown(m_submitbutton); shouldactivate |= input.getbuttondown(m_cancelbutton); shouldactivate |= !mathf.approximately(input.getaxisraw(m_horizontalaxis), 0.0f); shouldactivate |= !mathf.approximately(input.getaxisraw(m_verticalaxis), 0.0f); inside of public override bool ShouldActivateModule() then I commented out if (eventSystem.sendNavigationEvents) { if (!usedEvent) usedEvent |= SendMoveEventToSelectedObject(); if (!usedEvent) SendSubmitEventToSelectedObject(); } inside of public override void Process() THEN I commented out private Vector2 GetRawMoveVector() { Vector2 move = Vector2.zero; move.x = input.GetAxisRaw(m_HorizontalAxis); move.y = input.GetAxisRaw(m_VerticalAxis); if (input.GetButtonDown(m_HorizontalAxis)) { if (move.x < 0) move.x = -1f; if (move.x > 0) move.x = 1f; } if (input.GetButtonDown(m_VerticalAxis)) { if (move.y < 0) move.y = -1f; if (move.y > 0) move.y = 1f; } return move; } and LASTLY I commented out protected bool SendMoveEventToSelectedObject() { float time = Time.unscaledTime; Vector2 movement = GetRawMoveVector(); if (Mathf.Approximately(movement.x, 0f) && Mathf.Approximately(movement.y, 0f)) { m_ConsecutiveMoveCount = 0; return false; } bool similarDir = (Vector2.Dot(movement, m_LastMoveVector) > 0); // If direction didn't change at least 90 degrees, wait for delay before allowing consequtive event. if (similarDir && m_ConsecutiveMoveCount == 1) { if (time <= m_PrevActionTime + m_RepeatDelay) return false; } // If direction changed at least 90 degree, or we already had the delay, repeat at repeat rate. else { if (time <= m_PrevActionTime + 1f / m_InputActionsPerSecond) return false; } var axisEventData = GetAxisEventData(movement.x, movement.y, 0.6f); if (axisEventData.moveDir != MoveDirection.None) { ExecuteEvents.Execute(eventSystem.currentSelectedGameObject, axisEventData, ExecuteEvents.moveHandler); if (!similarDir) m_ConsecutiveMoveCount = 0; m_ConsecutiveMoveCount++; m_PrevActionTime = time; m_LastMoveVector = movement; } else { m_ConsecutiveMoveCount = 0; } return axisEventData.used; }

I put that script on the "Event System" gameobject and disable the original version of the script that was uneditable.

All after all that I got no error messages and my problem was gone :)
