Question by FairGamesProductions · Sep 21, 2014 at 09:13 PM · javascriptinputbuttonkey

How to get the key from the button name

Hello.

I can't seem to find any answer for this one. In many games once the player configures the input buttons the changes are reflected in the text prompts on the screen. For example if the player sets "Fire" as Mouse Button 1 or F (for example), on the screen the player will see : 'Use Mouse Button 1 to fire' or 'Use F to fire'.

I would like to this too (JS) :

 var prompt = "Use " + keySetAsFire + " to fire";
 GUIText.text = prompt;

My problem is finding the "keySetAsFire" variable. Is this possible in Unity?

Unfortunately there is no API for that. You'd need to create your own input manager or get one from the asset store.

I thought as much. Such a shame.
