Running DialogueSystem with New InputSystem on PS4

[fkkcloud]

Hello,

I am using Unity's Input Systemhttps://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.u ... ation.html (the new one).
I am trying to run PS4 build on a devkit and it seems like the DialogueSystem is trying to read the input from the old UnityEngine.Input in InputDeviceManager class.

The new Input System and the DialogueSystem worked fine so far on PC builds but it seems to have issue on PS4.
I attached the log below. Any idea?

Hi,

Make sure the scripting define symbol USE_NEW_INPUT is set for the PS4 build platform.

When you tick the Welcome Window's USE_NEW_INPUT checkbox, it will add the scripting define symbol for all currently-installed platform modules.

If you add a new platform module (e.g., PS4) after, it will not have the scripting define symbol.

Where do I register that symbol (USE_NEW_INPUT) ? Is it specifically somewhere within PixelCrusher's plugin?

[Tony Li]

Try the Welcome Window (menu item Tools > Pixel Crushers > Dialogue System > Welcome Window).

Or use menu item Edit > Project Settings. In Player > Other Settings, add it to Scripting Define Symbols.

It seems like I already have it on both.

Hi,

Can you try backing up your project and updating to DS version 2.2.20? That way we'll both be looking at the same thing.

Make sure you're looking at Edit > Project Settings > Player > Other Settings > Scripting Define Symbols after the Build Settings have been switched to PS4.

The porting to PS4 is progressing via Third-party called Knights of Unity.
They've developed Disco Elysium which used Dialogue System heavily I assume.
You may know them as well?

Anyways, I may just convert all my InputSystem stuff to Rewired. It seems like they are used to it more.
Do you personally prefer Rewired over Input System for DialogueSystem generally as well?

[Tony Li]

Hi,

Yes, personally I prefer Rewired over the new Input System package.

The Knights of Unity are very reliable. Good choice of porting company.
