### Summary Both `UnrealEngine.ControlInput` & `Verse.Input` modules are not sending any input events when the InputMappingContext is added and the InputAction triggered by the player. ### Please select what you are reporting on: Unreal Editor for Fortnite ### What Type of Bug are you experiencing? Verse ### Steps to Reproduce - Create an entity and add a `basic_interactable_component` and the `GameInputQAComponent`: ```verse GameInputQAComponent := class(component) { @editable bUseDeprecatedAPI:logic = false; @editable InputAction:input_action(logic); @editable InputMappingContext:input_mapping; OnSimulate():void = { Interactable := Self.Entity.GetComponent[(/Verse.org:)SceneGraph.basic_interactable_component] or Err("SceneGraph.basic_interactable_component"); Agent:agent = Interactable.SucceededEvent.Await(); Player := player[Agent] or Err("[GameInputQAComponent]: Player required"); if (Self.bUseDeprecatedAPI?) { PlayerInput := (/UnrealEngine.com:)ControlInput.GetPlayerInput[Player] or Err("Input.GetPlayerInput"); PlayerInput.AddInputMapping(Self.InputMappingContext); InputEvents := PlayerInput.GetInputEvents(Self.InputAction); loop { Event:string = race { (InputEvents.ActivationTriggeredEvent.Await(); "ActivationTriggered"); (InputEvents.ActivationCanceledEvent.Await(); "ActivationCanceled"); (InputEvents.DetectionBeginEvent.Await(); "DetectionBegin"); (InputEvents.DetectionOngoingEvent.Await(); "DetectionOngoing"); (InputEvents.DetectionEndEvent.Await(); "DetectionEnd"); }; Print("[GameInputQAComponent(UnrealEngine.ControlInput)]: {Event}"); }; } else { PlayerInput := (/Verse.org:)Input.GetPlayerInput[Player] or Err("Input.GetPlayerInput"); PlayerInput.AddInputMapping(Self.InputMappingContext); InputEvents := PlayerInput.GetInputEvents(Self.InputAction); loop { Event:string = race { # Uses Sleep() to suprress LSP Error: `Expected async expression and only found immediate expression.` (InputEvents.TriggerActivationEvent.Await(); Sleep(-1.0); "TriggerActivation"); (InputEvents.CancelActivationEvent.Await(); Sleep(-1.0); "CancelActivation"); (InputEvents.BeginDetectEvent.Await(); Sleep(-1.0); "BeginDetect"); (InputEvents.DetectionOngoingEvent.Await(); Sleep(-1.0); "DetectionOngoing"); (InputEvents.EndDetectEvent.Await(); Sleep(-1.0); "EndDetect"); }; Print("[GameInputQAComponent(Verse.Input)]: {Event}"); }; } }; }; ``` - Start the game - Interact with the entity and trigger the input you selected ### Expected Result We should see a output logs after the player presses the input. ### Observed Result Nothing happens. ### Platform(s) Windows 11 - `40.10-CL-52157884` ---

The status of FORT-1087273 changed to ‘Needs Triage’. We’ve confirmed the issue and it’s waiting to be assigned to someone to fix it. ---

Hey! I’m curious why you are using a loop and awaiting rather than subscribing to the actions? ```auto PlayerInput := (/Verse.org:)Input.GetPlayerInput[Player] or Err("Input.GetPlayerInput"); PlayerInput.AddInputMapping(Self.InputMappingContext); InputEvents := PlayerInput.GetInputEvents(Self.InputAction); InputCancelable := InputEvents.TriggerActivationEvent.Subscribe(LogicInputTriggered) InputCancelableDetectBegin := InputEvents.BeginDetectEvent.Subscribe(LogicInputBegin) InputCancelableDetectEnd := InputEvents.EndDetectEvent.Subscribe(LogicInputEnd) LogicInputTriggered(Arg:tuple(player, logic)):void= NameMessage:= MessageMaker() PlayerName:=MakeAgentName(Arg(0)) Print("{InputName} {Localize(PlayerName)} fired at {GetSimulationElapsedTime()}.") LogicInputBegin(Arg:tuple(player, logic)):void= Print("Input Trigger BEGIN (verse) Fired at {GetSimulationElapsedTime()}.") LogicInputEnd(Arg:tuple(player, float)):void= Print("Input Trigger END (verse) Fired at {GetSimulationElapsedTime()}.") ``` Doing something like that should work. Did this workflow work for you in 40.10? ---

Hey! Just tested on `40.20-CL-524632` and that snippet worked **but so did my awaits** , lot of us use await over subscribe for easy cancelling and such. So it looks like the events only gets sent once you use dummy Subscribe(), which is very much not ideal. * * * ```verse <# ...Same code... #> InputEvents := PlayerInput.GetInputEvents(Self.InputAction); # ✅ Now TriggerActivationEvent below works! InputCancelable := InputEvents.TriggerActivationEvent.Subscribe(LogicInputTriggered); # ❌ Not Subscribing: BeginDetectEvent below will not fire # InputCancelableDetectBegin := InputEvents.BeginDetectEvent.Subscribe(LogicInputBegin); # ❌ Not Subscribing: EndDetectEvent below will not fire # InputCancelableDetectEnd := InputEvents.EndDetectEvent.Subscribe(LogicInputEnd); loop { Event:string = race { # Uses Sleep() to suprress LSP Error: `Expected async expression and only found immediate expression.` (InputEvents.TriggerActivationEvent.Await(); Sleep(-1.0); "TriggerActivation"); (InputEvents.CancelActivationEvent.Await(); Sleep(-1.0); "CancelActivation"); (InputEvents.BeginDetectEvent.Await(); Sleep(-1.0); "BeginDetect"); (InputEvents.DetectionOngoingEvent.Await(); Sleep(-1.0); "DetectionOngoing"); (InputEvents.EndDetectEvent.Await(); Sleep(-1.0); "EndDetect"); }; Print("[GameInputQAComponent(Verse.Input)]: {Event}"); }; <# They dont need to do anything #> LogicInputTriggered(Arg:tuple(player, logic)):void = {}; LogicInputBegin(Arg:tuple(player, logic)):void = {}; LogicInputEnd(Arg:tuple(player, float)):void = {}; ``` * * * > As soon as `Subscribe()` is used, everything works properly. ---

The only 2 subs i ever use is join/leave everything else is awaits() with race: best thing since sliced bread imo 😊 ---
