Good Player Input/Controller Design
Hi everyone,
Just wondering if someone can point me in the right direction or educate me on what exactly would be a good player input controller.
My question is something like, if I were making an RTS with a lot of potential keyboard commands, how do I set up the input controller? Do I have my Update function track each potential command and fire an event if so? For example :
private void Update()
{
if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
{
if (Left_MouseButton_Press != null)
Left_MouseButton_Press();
}
if (Input.GetMouseButton(0))
{
if (Left_MouseButton_Pressed != null)
Left_MouseButton_Pressed();
}
// etc.
It just seems after some point, that's a lot to track during a single frame. Would I have to separate such a design by command behavior? As in, have multiple scripts with that above design but only tracking a few events each.
Thanks for any and all help and time, stay safe everyone.
Yes, you have to check everything, but it should be done in its own method and then called from update. Also I like to use a series of bools on the character for if a button is pressed, then the input function just triggers that bool, that way you can switch from keyboard to anything else without much hassle.
