HELLO everyone!!!
I am now one step away from finally understanding the Enhanced Input System 
What is the actual problem/question:
I don’t really understand how to separate the trigger logic.
Namely: I need if the player pressed the button(‘E’), he just interacted with the object. BUT!!! if he hold this button called a radial menu with certain actions on this object (those who played in ARK: Survival Evolved will understand what I mean).
Help please!
Hi @blAddddDe,
You can call two different events from the same key depending on how you setup your triggers. Here I have the player kicking the box with tapping the E key and changing the size of the box when they hold the E key.
I created two new input actions: IA_Kick and IA_ChangeSize
In my
InputMappingContext, I added those two input actions to the mapping array. Then I set the values as above.
Since you want to use the same key for both, it’s important to set the “just interact” action to Tap and not Press.
- The Press event triggers when the key goes down, so that will always fire, even if the player is trying to do a hold action.
- The Tap event fires if the key is pressed and released quickly - here within 0.2 seconds.
That allows us to set the other action to be hold, and set a pretty low time threshold - here 0.25 seconds - so it still feels fairly quick to the player.
Then in my character class, I can just right click for a new node, type in “kick” or “changesize”, and hook up whatever logic I want.
Hope this helps!
