wInput v1.1.1

wInput is a simple but also powerful input management library for GameMaker that allows you to create actions and assign them different inputs with ease. It also includes a bunch of other helpful extra features, like detecting double and long presses, and input recording/playback.

API Reference

This library is only tested on the Windows, HTML5, and GXC targets, but it should work on other platforms as well. It also comes with an example project that will show you the basics.

Since I made this library primarily for my own personal projects, I will keep updating it on a regular basis.

This library is made by Mors (Website | Patreon).

Features

• Support for keyboard, controller, and mouse input.
• Support for multiple players.
• Easy input remapping.
• Detecting double and long presses.
• Detecting the hold time and the last pressed action.
• Mapping analog sticks as digital inputs.
• Getting the input name as a string.
• Input recording and playback.

...and more!

Basic Usage

enum key {
    left,
    right,
    up,
    down,
    jump,
}
input_system_init(1);
input_action_add(0, key.left, vk_left, gp_stickll);
input_action_add(0, key.right, vk_right, gp_sticklr);
input_action_add(0, key.up, vk_up, gp_sticklu);
input_action_add(0, key.down, vk_down, gp_stickld);
input_action_add(0, key.jump, ord("Z"), gp_face1);

if (input_check(key.left)) {
    x -= 2;
}
if (input_check(key.right)) {
    x += 2;
}
if (input_check(key.up)) {
    y -= 2;
}
if (input_check(key.down)) {
    y += 2;
}
