Syntax
public class InputManagerVehicleInputProvider : VehicleInputProviderBase
Remarks

InputManagerVehicleInputProvider integrates with Unity's Input Manager (Edit > Project Settings > Input Manager) to provide vehicle control through keyboard keys, mouse input, and gamepad axes. This is the traditional Unity input system that uses string-based input names and axis configurations.

Supported input methods include: - Keyboard controls for all vehicle functions (WASD, arrow keys, number keys for gears) - Mouse steering option for enhanced precision control - Gamepad support through configured axes and buttons - Direct gear selection through numbered keys (1-8 for gears, R for reverse) - Function keys for lights, horn, and other auxiliary controls

This provider is ideal for PC/desktop games and provides backward compatibility with existing Unity projects that use the Input Manager. Configure input axes in the Input Manager to customize key bindings and sensitivity settings for different control schemes.

Fields

mouseInput

Should mouse be used for input?

Declaration
[Tooltip("Should mouse be used for input?")]
public bool mouseInput
Field Value
Type Description
bool

shiftInputNames

Input Manager binding names for direct gear selection in H-pattern shifters. Array indices map to gear numbers: index 0 = reverse (-1), index 1 = neutral (0), index 2 = 1st gear, etc. To add more gears, extend this array and update the ShiftInto() method accordingly.

Declaration
[NonSerialized]
[Tooltip("Names of input bindings for each individual gears. If you need to add more gears modify this and the corresponding\r\niterator in the\r\nShiftInto() function.")]
public string[] shiftInputNames
Field Value
Type Description
string[]

Methods

Boost()

Returns true while the boost button is held down. Only functional when NOSModule or similar boost module is present and enabled. Provides temporary power increase when active.

Declaration
public override bool Boost()
Returns
Type Description
bool

True while button is pressed.
Overrides

Brakes()

Returns the current brake input value normalized to [0, 1] range. 0 means no braking, 1 means full braking force.

Declaration
public override float Brakes()
Returns
Type Description
float

Brake input value between 0 and 1.
Overrides

Clutch()

Returns the current clutch input value normalized to [0, 1] range. 0 means clutch fully engaged (pedal released), 1 means clutch fully disengaged (pedal pressed). Used with manual transmissions for gear changes and preventing engine stalls.

Declaration
public override float Clutch()
Returns
Type Description
float

Clutch input value between 0 and 1.
Overrides

CruiseControl()

Returns true when the cruise control toggle button is pressed this frame. Only functional when CruiseControlModule is present and enabled. Maintains constant vehicle speed without throttle input.

Declaration
public override bool CruiseControl()
Returns
Type Description
bool

True if button was pressed this frame.
Overrides

EngineStartStop()

Returns true when the engine start/stop button is pressed this frame. Toggles the engine on/off state.

Declaration
public override bool EngineStartStop()
Returns
Type Description
bool

True if button was pressed this frame.
Overrides

ExtraLights()

Returns true when the extra lights toggle button is pressed this frame. Controls auxiliary lights such as fog lights, work lights, or off-road lights.

Declaration
public override bool ExtraLights()
Returns
Type Description
bool

True if button was pressed this frame.
Overrides

FlipOver()

Returns true when the flip-over button is pressed this frame. Only functional when FlipOverModule is present and enabled, used to right overturned vehicles.

Declaration
public override bool FlipOver()
Returns
Type Description
bool

True if button was pressed this frame.
Overrides

Handbrake()

Returns the current handbrake input value normalized to [0, 1] range. 0 means released, 1 means fully engaged. Typically used for drifting or parking.

Declaration
public override float Handbrake()

Declaration
public override bool HighBeamLights()
Returns
Type Description
bool

True if button was pressed this frame.
Overrides

Horn()

Returns true while the horn button is held down. Unlike toggle buttons, this is typically held for continuous horn sound.

Declaration

Declaration
public override bool ShiftDown()
Returns
Type Description
bool

True if button was pressed this frame.
Overrides

ShiftInto()

Returns the directly selected gear index for H-pattern shifters. Checks all configured gear input bindings and returns the gear number if any key is pressed. Used for direct gear selection in non-sequential transmissions.

Declaration
public override int ShiftInto()
Returns
Type Description
int

Gear index (-1 for reverse, 0 for neutral, 1-9 for forward gears), or -999 if no gear key is pressed.
