Hi, is there a way to detect which Input Action is being Fired? Without doing this?
(see image below)
so what I did is, for every input action, I have to store the ‘input actions name’ to a variable
then used a “Switch on String” and convert that variable to text.
thanks!
I mean there probably is a few ways but why do you need to know which fired?
i have a fuction which is being used by 3 Input action, so inside that function i need to detect which input action is firing then do the things i need for that triggering input action?
idk if that made sense, im still a newbie… 
Just to ensure I understand this you want to have a setup like
Input Action 1 → Generic Function → Stuff happens based on what action was hit
Input Action 2 → Generic Function → Stuff happens based on what action was hit
Correct?
I still don’t know what I’m seeing but shouldn’t an action input be created for each different action?
There is no reason to know which button was pressed, because you want all to trigger the same action.
Correct that was going to be my next point lol it should be
Input Action 1 → Specific Function
Input Action 2 → Specific Function
So for example
Run Input Action → Run function
Jump Input Action → Jump function
No as you shouldn’t be doing it like that each input Action does their own function they shouldn’t share a function like that.
i see, but i dont want to make a copy of the same fuction for each input action, i actually have 10 Input action for the same function xD
Why? Is the function doing the exact same thing?
its a line tracing function, and which ever IA has a different angle/ direction, so if press 1, then for example, the line trace a certain angle ,…
Exposing the angle as a Function Input should solve this?
yes its just a sameple theres more than angle, but i want it inside a function so i wont clutter the main BP
Yep ok that makes sense to be generic so just have the function have an input for angle
So to make this easier instead of switching on a input action pass in an angle and use that instead kinda like this
whoah, Cool Lines, how did u do a straight line for Node Connection?
yes, its really same as this, alot of operators and computation, i have to de clutter my main bp, and the way i do it is always hide it inside of a function…
It is ok to use the same function but I would pass the input to an enums, or a values or expose all variables that is easier to use within the function
im still learning about UE, and i haven’t played with enums yet, but ill try enums after this Flow Control, xD nice it looks promising!
You don’t need flow control just add an input to your function (in this case the ange of the line trace) and pass that angle into your equation this way you only need the one function and the one line trace and then you call that function from each input action and you set the angle there so it works for each input action how you expect
