Mobile - Creative Input Actions (37.20)

General Issues and Bug Reporting

Summary

With the deprecation of a few of the Creative Input Actions this causes MAJOR issues with mobile.

When using the Creative Input Action, a new UI button could appear on the Mobile Screen. This does not happen with the Standard Input Actions.

One example of this regression is when trying to bind to the “Target” action.

There is no UI button on Mobile for the “Target” action, unless a weapon with a scope is equipped.

This means plays on mobile CANNOT use the “Target” action.

Without a weapon being held, there is no ability for a mobile user to press “fire” or “target”

Another unfortunate side effect of removing these inputs and the extra buttons on mobile is not being able to have custom icons for them. That was a big benefit of using the creative input actions - I always thought if you wanted it to have parity with the original buttons, you’d just use the standard action, which should avoid the reason they’re being deprecated all together.
