Assign player's key in Inspector

Discussion in ' Scripting ' started by lockingkz , Mar 18, 2019 .

Hello guys, Just today I have started learning how to code in C#, there's still a lot of things I am not very sure about, but I will do my best ! I am currently coding my player's movement. As you can see I wanted to make my inspector able to assign what my control keys are, but I do not know how do I make getInput function to check from the variables ( UpButton and etc) Code (CSharp): using System.Collections ; using System.Collections.Generic ; using UnityEngine ;   public class Movement : MonoBehaviour {     [ SerializeField ]     private float speed ;     /*     private float UpButton;     private float DownButton;     private float LeftButton;     private float RightButton;     */       private Vector2 direction ;       // When its excuted     void Start ( )     {       }     // Loop     void Update ( )     {         getInput ( ) ;         Move ( ) ;     }       public void Move ( )     {         transform . Translate ( direction * speed * Time . deltaTime ) ;     }         // Keyboard input by player     private void getInput ( )     {           direction = Vector2 . zero ;         if ( Input . GetKey ( KeyCode . W ) )         {             if ( Input . GetKey ( KeyCode . W ) && ( Input . GetKey ( KeyCode . S ) ) )             {                 direction = Vector2 . zero ;             }             else             {                 direction = Vector2 . up ;             }         }             if ( Input . GetKey ( KeyCode . A ) )             {                 if ( Input . GetKey ( KeyCode . A ) && ( Input . GetKey ( KeyCode . D ) ) )                 {                     direction = Vector2 . zero ;                 }                 else                 {                     direction = Vector2 . left ;                 }             }             if ( Input . GetKey ( KeyCode . S ) )             {                 if ( Input . GetKey ( KeyCode . S ) && ( Input . GetKey ( KeyCode . W ) ) )                 {                     direction = Vector2 . zero ;                 }                 else                 {                     direction = Vector2 . down ;                 }             }             if ( Input . GetKey ( KeyCode . D ) )             {                 if ( Input . GetKey ( KeyCode . D ) && ( Input . GetKey ( KeyCode . A ) ) )                 {                     direction = Vector2 . zero ;                 }                 else                 {                     direction = Vector2 . right ;                 }             }         }     }

It is as simple as declaring a public keycode which you can then edit in the inspector and then using that variable instead of your hardcoded keycodes. Code (CSharp):     public KeyCode Forwards     = KeyCode . W ;     public KeyCode Backwards     = KeyCode . S ;       private void Update ( )     {         if ( Input . GetKey ( Forwards ) )         {             //Move Forwards         }         if ( Input . GetKey ( Backwards ) )         {             //Move Backwards         }     } Also, you can save yourself some if statements by adding to your direction vector each time; Code (CSharp):         direction = Vector2 . zero ;           if ( Input . GetKey ( Forwards ) )         {             direction += new Vector2 ( 0 , 1 ) ;                   }           if ( Input . GetKey ( Backwards ) )         {             direction += new Vector2 ( 0 , - 1 ) ;         }  

Thanks for the answer! I get it now!

32 must-know unity hotkeys and shortcuts: 2023 cheat sheet.

Unity, by design, helps developers create cross-platform content fast. However, many growing developers are not maximizing their potential for speed and efficiency. 

In this post, we’ll help you get familiar with hotkeys and shortcuts that can help improve your productivity while using Unity.

What are Hotkeys?

“Hotkeys” are keys or combinations of keys on a keyboard that are linked to certain commands within a program or platform. 

In this guide, we’re going to use hotkeys to mean single-key commands that you can use to switch effortlessly between different tools or actions within Unity. 

13 Hotkeys to Know in Unity

This is a non-exhaustive list of some of the handiest keyboard shortcuts in Davinci Resolve that will speed up your editing sessions and get you to a stunning final product faster than ever before. 

• Hand Tool: [Q]
• Move Tool: [W]

What are Shortcuts?

Shortcuts are key combinations that are linked to certain tools or actions in whatever software you may be using. Unity has many shortcuts that are “baked-in” to the software, but you can create and customize your own shortcuts to work seamlessly with your workflow. 

First, we’ll outline some of the default shortcuts within Unity, then show you how you can create your own.

19 handy shortcuts to know in unity.

This is a non-exhaustive list of some of the handiest keyboard shortcuts in Unity that will help you design and develop faster and more efficiently. 

Scene Files:

• New Scene: [Ctrl/Cmd + N]
• Open Scene: [Ctrl /Cmd + O]
• Save Scene: [Ctrl/Cmd + S]
• Save As: [Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + S]
• Create Empty Game Object: [Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + N]
• Duplicate: [Ctrl/Cmd + D]
• Undo: [Ctrl/Cmd +Z]
• Redo: [Ctrl + Y] (PC) [Shift +Cmd + Z] (Mac)
• Cut: [Ctrl/Cmd + X]
• Copy: [Ctrl /Cmd + C]
• Paste: [Ctrl/Cmd + V]
• Select All: [Ctrl/Cmd + A]
• Invert Selection: [Ctrl/Cmd + I]
• Deselect All: [Shift + D]
• Find Object: [Ctrl/Cmd + F]
• Move Object to View: [Ctrl/Cmd + Alt + F]
• Play: [Ctrl/Cmd + P]
• Pause: [Ctrl /Cmd + Shift + P]
• Step: [Ctrl/Cmd + Alt + P]

How to Add or Change Shortcuts in Unity

While these pre-built shortcuts may work for most developers, you may want to alter your workspace to make them more adaptive to their work style. Thankfully, Resolve makes it easy to do that by allowing you to reassign new shortcuts and hotkeys to tools or actions. 

Follow these steps to add or change your shortcuts and hotkeys in Unity:

Step 1: Locate the Shortcuts Manager in Unity’s main menu.

• For Windows, go to "Edit," then select "Shortcuts."
• For Mac, go to "Unity," then select "Shortcuts."

Step 2: You will now get a pop-up window that shows a keyboard layout and commands that are organized by category. Now, you want to choose whether you want to make a command “global” or “contextual.” 

• Global commands are commands that are always available. This means that, for example, whenever you press certain keys linked to the global command for “Undo,” it will always undo the previous action regardless of what windows or tools are currently active.
• Contextual commands are linked to a certain view or toolset; for example, they only work when you are in the Animation window. 

Something to keep in mind when editing global and contextual commands is that they can create shortcut conflicts. So you want to be careful to keep track of which commands are global and which are contextual when changing and customizing shortcuts. 

Step 3: If you would like to assign an action to a single key, select that command from the command menu and drag and drop it to the key you would like to assign it to. If you would like to add a modifier key to the command, such as Shift or Option, hold that key or keys down while dragging and dropping the command to the keyboard. 

To unassign or reset shortcuts: 

Step 1: Right-click the key you want to unassign or reset.  

Step 2: From the menu that appears, select “reset to default” or “remove shortcut” to either reset the key to its default shortcut assignment or remove the shortcut entirely.  

Now, you can create the perfectly personalized keyboard shortcuts that will help you fly through development and be able to remain focused on unleashing your creativity.

Unity Hotkeys

This page gives an overview of the default Unity Hotkeys. You can also download a PDF of the table for Windows and MacOSX . Where a command has CTRL/CMD as part of the keystroke, this indicates that the Control key should be used on Windows and the Command key on MacOSX.

The Mac trackpad also has a number of shortcuts for navigating the Scene view. See Scene view navigation to learn more about these.

FEIG ELECTRONIC: Moscow-City Skyscrapers Streamline Parking Access and Control with Secure RFID

Feig electronic partners with isbc group to deploy ucode dna rfid security and parking access control solution in moscow business district.

Weilburg, Germany  — December 3,  2019  —  FEIG ELECTRONIC , a leading global supplier of radio frequency identification (RFID) readers and antennas with fifty years of industry experience, announces deployment of the UCODE DNA RFID security and parking contactless identification solution in the Moscow International Business Center, known as Moscow-City, one of the world’s largest business district projects.

The management of Moscow-City not only selected long-range, passive UHF RFID to implement in its controlled parking areas, it also chose to implement UCODE DNA , the highest form of secure RAIN RFID technology, developed by NXP Semiconductors.

“Underscoring NXP’s innovation and leadership in developing advanced RAIN RFID technologies, our UCODE DNA was chosen to be incorporated with the FEIG and ISBC implementation of the contactless identification system in the prestigious Moscow-City,” said Mahdi Mekic, marketing director for RAIN RFID with NXP Semiconductors. “This exciting project represents yet another successful deployment of NXP’s contactless portfolio, and showcases our continued ability to meet the high-security requirements of highly demanding applications without compromising user convenience.”

“UCODE DNA is considered the only identification technology to match the physical protection of a barrier with the cybersecurity necessary to truly protect entrances from unauthorized access,” said Manuel Haertlé, senior product manager for FEIG Electronic. “As a respected contactless payment technology company, FEIG applies security know-how from its payment terminals, which are fully certified according to the latest high-class security standards, into our RFID systems. FEIG vehicle access control RFID readers incorporate advanced secure key storage elements, supporting various methods for secure key injection.”

FEIG’s partner ISBC Group provided the knowledge and support for this successful implementation using  FEIG’s long-range UHF RFID . The resulting system enables authorized vehicle entry into areas reserved for private residential use or corporate tenants, while also allowing availability of temporary, fee-based visitor parking. Thanks to the cryptographic authentication of UCODE DNA, both the tag and reader must go through an authentication procedure before the reader will validate the data from the tag, which is transmitted wirelessly. This level of authentication is typically used in the most secure data communication networks.

“The system’s two-step authentication means that only authorized equipment can handle the secure protocol and the data exchange with the UCODE DNA based tag. Without the required cryptographic secrets, other readers would query the tag in vain, because the tag’s response cannot be interpreted or understood,” said Andrey Krasovskiy, director of the RFID department at ISBC Group. “On top of this, each data exchange in the authentication process is unique, so even if a malicious actor were to intercept the communication, the transmission is only good for a single exchange and the tag’s unique identity is protected from cloning.”

Established in 1992 and still growing, Moscow-City is the revitalization and transformation of an industrial riverfront into a new, modern, vibrant and upscale business and residential district. A mix of residential, hotel, office, retail and entertainment facilities, it is located about four kilometers west of Red Square along the Moscow River. Twelve of the twenty-three planned facilities have already been completed, with seven currently under construction. Six skyscrapers in Moscow-City reach a height of at least 300 meters, including Europe’s tallest building, Federation Tower, which rises more than 100 stories.

Partnering with ISBC and deploying FEIG Electronic RFID solutions, the Moscow International Business Center is delivering security and access control to its city center today, as it grows into the city of tomorrow.
