Struct ButtonInput

pub struct ButtonInput<T: Copy + Eq + Hash + Send + Sync + 'static> { /* private fields */ }

A “press-able” input of type T.

Usage

This type can be used as a resource to keep the current state of an input, by reacting to events from the input. For a given input value:

• ButtonInput::pressed will return true between a press and a release event.
• ButtonInput::just_pressed will return true for one frame after a press event.
• ButtonInput::just_released will return true for one frame after a release event.

Multiple systems

In case multiple systems are checking for ButtonInput::just_pressed or ButtonInput::just_released but only one should react, for example when modifying a Resource, you should consider clearing the input state, either by:

• Using ButtonInput::clear_just_pressed or ButtonInput::clear_just_released instead.
• Calling ButtonInput::clear or ButtonInput::reset immediately after the state change.

Performance

For all operations, the following conventions are used:

• n is the number of stored inputs.
• m is the number of input arguments passed to the method.
• *-suffix denotes an amortized cost.
• ~-suffix denotes an expected cost.

See Rust’s std::collections doc on performance for more details on the conventions used here.

Window focus

ButtonInput<KeyCode> is tied to window focus. For example, if the user holds a button while the window loses focus, ButtonInput::just_released will be triggered. Similarly if the window regains focus, ButtonInput::just_pressed will be triggered.

ButtonInput<GamepadButton> is independent of window focus.

Examples

Reading and checking against the current set of pressed buttons:

fn main() {
    App::new()
        .add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)
        .add_systems(
            Update,
            print_mouse.run_if(resource_changed::<ButtonInput<MouseButton>>),
        )
        .add_systems(
            Update,
            print_keyboard.run_if(resource_changed::<ButtonInput<KeyCode>>),
        )
        .run();
}

fn print_mouse(mouse: Res<ButtonInput<MouseButton>>) {
    println!("Mouse: {:?}", mouse.get_pressed().collect::<Vec<_>>());
}

fn print_keyboard(keyboard: Res<ButtonInput<KeyCode>>) {
    if keyboard.any_pressed([KeyCode::ControlLeft, KeyCode::ControlRight])
        && keyboard.any_pressed([KeyCode::AltLeft, KeyCode::AltRight])
        && keyboard.any_pressed([KeyCode::ShiftLeft, KeyCode::ShiftRight])
        && keyboard.any_pressed([KeyCode::SuperLeft, KeyCode::SuperRight])
        && keyboard.pressed(KeyCode::KeyL)
    {
        println!("On Windows this opens LinkedIn.");
    } else {
        println!("keyboard: {:?}", keyboard.get_pressed().collect::<Vec<_>>());
    }
}

Note

When adding this resource for a new input type, you should:

• Call the ButtonInput::press method for each press event.
• Call the ButtonInput::release method for each release event.
• Call the ButtonInput::clear method at each frame start, before processing events.

Note: Calling clear from a ResMut will trigger change detection. It may be preferable to use DetectChangesMut::bypass_change_detection to avoid causing the resource to always be marked as changed.
