Overview

Provides process-wide action input state.

Syntax

public static class Electron2D.Input

Godot 4.7 C# profile compatibility

Profile: Electron2D 0.1.0 2D
Status: Partial / Not verified
Out of profile: yes
Godot reference: Input

Process-wide action state queries for pressed, just-pressed, strength and four-action vectors.

Remarks

The input state is fed by Electron2D.SceneTree.DispatchInput(Electron2D.InputEvent) through the action bindings registered in Electron2D.InputMap. It stores frame-local transition state such as Electron2D.Input.IsActionJustPressed(System.String,System.Boolean).

0.1.0 Preview supports keyboard bindings, mouse button bindings, gamepad bindings and direct Electron2D.InputEventAction events. Touch input is delivered as screen touch and drag events and is not an action binding in this baseline.

Thread Safety

All methods synchronize access to the process-wide input state.

Since

This class is available since Electron2D 0.1.0 Preview.

Returns

The requested vibration duration in seconds, or 0.0 when no vibration is active or the device is unknown.

Remarks

Unknown or unsupported devices return Electron2D.Vector2.Zero.

Parameters
