Description

InputManager provides an abstraction layer between physical input devices and abstract actions. Also supplies an API for configuring action key bindings.

It offers interfaces for various devices:

• KeyboardDeviceHandler
• MouseDeviceHandler
• GamepadDeviceHandler
• JoystickDeviceHandler
• GyroDeviceHandler
• TrackIRDeviceHandler

Force feedback

• For force feedback on joysticks use JoystickDeviceHandler
• For rumble and trigger effects on gamepads use GamepadDeviceHandler

Example:

void OnUpdate()
{
    JoystickDeviceHandler handler = g_Game.GetInputManager().GetJoystickDeviceHandler();
        
    if (DbgUI.Button("FFB Force"))
    {
        handler.StartFFEffectConstantForce(0, 0, JoystickFFEffectType.CONSTANT_FORCE, 0.2, 1000);
    }
    
    if (DbgUI.Button("FFB Spring"))
    {
        handler.StartFFEffectCondition(0, 0, JoystickFFEffectType.SPRING, 1.0, 0.1);
    }
    
    if (DbgUI.Button("FFB Damper"))
    {
        handler.StartFFEffectCondition(0, 0, JoystickFFEffectType.DAMPER, 1.0, 0.1);
    }
    
    if (DbgUI.Button("FFB Inertia"))
    {
        handler.StartFFEffectCondition(0, 0, JoystickFFEffectType.INERTIA, 1.0, 0.1);
    }
    
    if (DbgUI.Button("FFB Friction"))
    {
        handler.StartFFEffectCondition(0, 0, JoystickFFEffectType.FRICTION, 1.0, 0.1);
    }
    
    if (DbgUI.Button("FFB Ramp"))
    {
        handler.StartFFEffectRamp(0, 0, JoystickFFEffectType.RAMP_FORCE, 1.0, 0.1);
    }
    
    if (DbgUI.Button("FFB Square"))
    {
        handler.StartFFEffectPeriodic(0, 0, JoystickFFEffectType.SQUARE, 0.3, 100);
    }
    
    if (DbgUI.Button("FFB Sine"))
    {
        handler.StartFFEffectPeriodic(0, 0, JoystickFFEffectType.SINE, 0.3, 100);
    }
 
    if (DbgUI.Button("FFB Combined"))
    {
        handler.StartFFEffectPeriodic(0, 0, JoystickFFEffectType.SQUARE, 0.2, 10);
        handler.StartFFEffectCondition(0, 1, JoystickFFEffectType.SPRING, 0.3, 0.3);
        handler.StartFFEffectCondition(0, 2, JoystickFFEffectType.SPRING, 0.5, 0.5, fDeadBand: 0.15);
    }
    
    if (DbgUI.Button("FFB Stop"))
    {
        handler.StopForceFeedbackEffect(0, -1);
    }
}
