Input

Overview

The input subsystem is a slightly dependent creature. It will only process input on whatever windowing context is active. If there is more than one window within your project, you must make sure to call SetAsActive on the corresponding ZDomain instance. Take a look at the windowing wiki and the ZDomain class for more on Zenith windowing.

Querying the current cursor position is easy

    glm::vec2 cursorPos = ZServices::Input()->GetCursorPosition();

You can also set the cursor position programmatically

    ZServices::Input()->SetCursorPosition(glm::vec2(100.f, 100.f));

You can also query and set button and key values

    if (ZServices::Input()->Key(ZKey::SPACE)) { ... }
    if (ZServices::Input()->Mouse(ZMouse::RIGHT_MB)) { ... }
    
    ZServices::Input()->SetKey(ZKey::SPACE, true);
    ZServices::Input()->SetMouse(ZMouse::MB4, true);

Input abstractions for different controllers are planned for future builds.

Take a look at the ZInput interface for more.
