This includes key presses, mouse buttons and movement, joypads, and input actions. Actions and their events can be set in the [b]Input Map[/b] tab in the [b]Project > Project Settings[/b], or with the [InputMap] class. </description> <tutorials> <link title="Inputs documentation index">$DOCS_URL/tutorials/inputs/index.html</link> <link title="2D Dodge The Creeps Demo">https://godotengine.org/asset-library/asset/515</link> <link title="3D Voxel Demo">https://godotengine.org/asset-library/asset/676</link> </tutorials> <methods> <method name="action_press"> <return type="void" /> <argument index="0" name="action" type="StringName" /> <argument index="1" name="strength" type="float" default="1.0" /> <description> This will simulate pressing the specified action. The strength can be used for non-boolean actions, it's ranged between 0 and 1 representing the intensity of the given action. [b]Note:[/b] This method will not cause any [method Node._input] calls. It is intended to be used with [method is_action_pressed] and [method is_action_just_pressed]. If you want to simulate [code]_input[/code], use [method parse_input_event] instead. </description> </method> <method name="action_release"> <return type="void" /> <argument index="0" name="action" type="StringName" /> <description> If the specified action is already pressed, this will release it. </description> </method> <method name="add_joy_mapping"> <return type="void" /> <argument index="0" name="mapping" type="String" /> <argument index="1" name="update_existing" type="bool" default="false" /> <description> Adds a new mapping entry (in SDL2 format) to the mapping database. Optionally update already connected devices. </description> </method> <method name="flush_buffered_events"> <return type="void" /> <description> Sends all input events which are in the current buffer to the game loop. These events may have been buffered as a result of accumulated input ([member use_accumulated_input]) or agile input flushing ([member ProjectSettings.input_devices/buffering/agile_event_flushing]). The engine will already do this itself at key execution points (at least once per frame). However, this can be useful in advanced cases where you want precise control over the timing of event handling. </description> </method> <method name="get_accelerometer" qualifiers="const"> <return type="Vector3" /> <description> Returns the acceleration in m/s² of the device's accelerometer sensor, if the device has one. Otherwise, the method returns [constant Vector3.ZERO]. Note this method returns an empty [Vector3] when running from the editor even when your device has an accelerometer. You must export your project to a supported device to read values from the accelerometer. [b]Note:[/b] This method only works on iOS, Android, and UWP. On other platforms, it always returns [constant Vector3.ZERO]. </description> </method> <method name="get_action_raw_strength" qualifiers="const"> <return type="float" /> <argument index="0" name="action" type="StringName" /> <argument index="1" name="exact_match" type="bool" default="false" /> <description> Returns a value between 0 and 1 representing the raw intensity of the given action, ignoring the action's deadzone. In most cases, you should use [method get_action_strength] instead. If [code]exact_match[/code] is [code]false[/code], it ignores additional input modifiers for [InputEventKey] and [InputEventMouseButton] events, and the direction for [InputEventJoypadMotion] events. </description> </method> <method name="get_action_strength" qualifiers="const"> <return type="float" /> <argument index="0" name="action" type="StringName" /> <argument index="1" name="exact_match" type="bool" default="false" /> <description> Returns a value between 0 and 1 representing the intensity of the given action. In a joypad, for example, the further away the axis (analog sticks or L2, R2 triggers) is from the dead zone, the closer the value will be to 1. If the action is mapped to a control that has no axis as the keyboard, the value returned will be 0 or 1. If [code]exact_match[/code] is [code]false[/code], it ignores additional input modifiers for [InputEventKey] and [InputEventMouseButton] events, and the direction for [InputEventJoypadMotion] events. </description> </method> <method name="get_axis" qualifiers="const"> <return type="float" /> <argument index="0" name="negative_action" type="StringName" /> <argument index="1" name="positive_action" type="StringName" /> <description> Get axis input by specifying two actions, one negative and one positive. This is a shorthand for writing [code]Input.get_action_strength("positive_action") - Input.get_action_strength("negative_action")[/code]. </description> </method> <method name="get_connected_joypads"> <return type="int[]" /> <description> Returns an [Array] containing the device IDs of all currently connected joypads. </description> </method> <method name="get_current_cursor_shape" qualifiers="const"> <return type="int" enum="Input.CursorShape" /> <description> Returns the currently assigned cursor shape (see [enum CursorShape]). </description> </method> <method name="get_gravity" qualifiers="const"> <return type="Vector3" /> <description> Returns the gravity in m/s² of the device's accelerometer sensor, if the device has one. Otherwise, the method returns [constant Vector3.ZERO]. [b]Note:[/b] This method only works on Android and iOS. On other platforms, it always returns [constant Vector3.ZERO]. </description> </method> <method name="get_gyroscope" qualifiers="const"> <return type="Vector3" /> <description> Returns the rotation rate in rad/s around a device's X, Y, and Z axes of the gyroscope sensor, if the device has one. Otherwise, the method returns [constant Vector3.ZERO]. [b]Note:[/b] This method only works on Android and iOS. On other platforms, it always returns [constant Vector3.ZERO]. </description> </method> <method name="get_joy_axis" qualifiers="const"> <return type="float" /> <argument index="0" name="device" type="int" /> <argument index="1" name="axis" type="int" enum="JoyAxis" /> <description> Returns the current value of the joypad axis at given index (see [enum JoyAxis]). </description> </method> <method name="get_joy_guid" qualifiers="const"> <return type="String" /> <argument index="0" name="device" type="int" /> <description> Returns a SDL2-compatible device GUID on platforms that use gamepad remapping. Returns [code]"Default Gamepad"[/code] otherwise. </description> </method> <method name="get_joy_name"> <return type="String" /> <argument index="0" name="device" type="int" /> <description> Returns the name of the joypad at the specified device index. </description> </method> <method name="get_joy_vibration_duration"> <return type="float" /> <argument index="0" name="device" type="int" /> <description> Returns the duration of the current vibration effect in seconds. </description> </method> <method name="get_joy_vibration_strength"> <return type="Vector2" /> <argument index="0" name="device" type="int" /> <description> Returns the strength of the joypad vibration: x is the strength of the weak motor, and y is the strength of the strong motor. </description> </method> <method name="get_last_mouse_velocity"> <return type="Vector2" /> <description> Returns the last mouse velocity. To provide a precise and jitter-free velocity, mouse velocity is only calculated every 0.1s. Therefore, mouse velocity will lag mouse movements. </description> </method> <method name="get_magnetometer" qualifiers="const"> <return type="Vector3" /> <description> Returns the magnetic field strength in micro-Tesla for all axes of the device's magnetometer sensor, if the device has one. Otherwise, the method returns [constant Vector3.ZERO]. [b]Note:[/b] This method only works on Android, iOS and UWP. On other platforms, it always returns [constant Vector3.ZERO]. </description> </method> <method name="get_mouse_button_mask" qualifiers="const"> <return type="int" enum="MouseButton" /> <description> Returns mouse buttons as a bitmask. If multiple mouse buttons are pressed at the same time, the bits are added together. </description> </method> <method name="get_vector" qualifiers="const"> <return type="Vector2" /> <argument index="0" name="negative_x" type="StringName" /> <argument index="1" name="positive_x" type="StringName" /> <argument index="2" name="negative_y" type="StringName" /> <argument index="3" name="positive_y" type="StringName" /> <argument index="4" name="deadzone" type="float" default="-1.0" /> <description> Gets an input vector by specifying four actions for the positive and negative X and Y axes. This method is useful when getting vector input, such as from a joystick, directional pad, arrows, or WASD. The vector has its length limited to 1 and has a circular deadzone, which is useful for using vector input as movement. By default, the deadzone is automatically calculated from the average of the action deadzones. However, you can override the deadzone to be whatever you want (on the range of 0 to 1). </description> </method> <method name="is_action_just_pressed" qualifiers="const"> <return type="bool" /> <argument index="0" name="action" type="StringName" /> <argument index="1" name="exact_match" type="bool" default="false" /> <description> Returns [code]true[/code] when the user starts pressing the action event, meaning it's [code]true[/code] only on the frame that the user pressed down the button. This is useful for code that needs to run only once when an action is pressed, instead of every frame while it's pressed. If [code]exact_match[/code] is [code]false[/code], it ignores additional input modifiers for [InputEventKey] and [InputEventMouseButton] events, and the direction for [InputEventJoypadMotion] events. [b]Note:[/b] Due to keyboard ghosting, [method is_action_just_pressed] may return [code]false[/code] even if one of the action's keys is pressed. See [url=$DOCS_URL/tutorials/inputs/input_examples.html#keyboard-events]Input examples[/url] in the documentation for more information. </description> </method> <method name="is_action_just_released" qualifiers="const"> <return type="bool" /> <argument index="0" name="action" type="StringName" /> <argument index="1" name="exact_match" type="bool" default="false" /> <description> Returns [code]true[/code] when the user stops pressing the action event, meaning it's [code]true[/code] only on the frame that the user released the button. If [code]exact_match[/code] is [code]false[/code], it ignores additional input modifiers for [InputEventKey] and [InputEventMouseButton] events, and the direction for [InputEventJoypadMotion] events. </description> </method> <method name="is_action_pressed" qualifiers="const"> <return type="bool" /> <argument index="0" name="action" type="StringName" /> <argument index="1" name="exact_match" type="bool" default="false" /> <description> Returns [code]true[/code] if you are pressing the action event. Note that if an action has multiple buttons assigned and more than one of them is pressed, releasing one button will release the action, even if some other button assigned to this action is still pressed. If [code]exact_match[/code] is [code]false[/code], it ignores additional input modifiers for [InputEventKey] and [InputEventMouseButton] events, and the direction for [InputEventJoypadMotion] events. [b]Note:[/b] Due to keyboard ghosting, [method is_action_pressed] may return [code]false[/code] even if one of the action's keys is pressed. See [url=$DOCS_URL/tutorials/inputs/input_examples.html#keyboard-events]Input examples[/url] in the documentation for more information. </description> </method> <method name="is_anything_pressed" qualifiers="const"> <return type="bool" /> <description> Returns [code]true[/code] if any action, key, joypad button, or mouse button is being pressed. This will also return [code]true[/code] if any action is simulated via code by calling [method action_press]. </description> </method> <method name="is_joy_button_pressed" qualifiers="const"> <return type="bool" /> <argument index="0" name="device" type="int" /> <argument index="1" name="button" type="int" enum="JoyButton" /> <description> Returns [code]true[/code] if you are pressing the joypad button (see [enum JoyButton]). </description> </method> <method name="is_joy_known"> <return type="bool" /> <argument index="0" name="device" type="int" /> <description> Returns [code]true[/code] if the system knows the specified device. This means that it sets all button and axis indices. Unknown joypads are not expected to match these constants, but you can still retrieve events from them. </description> </method> <method name="is_key_pressed" qualifiers="const"> <return type="bool" /> <argument index="0" name="keycode" type="int" enum="Key" /> <description> Returns [code]true[/code] if you are pressing the key in the current keyboard layout. You can pass a [enum Key] constant. [method is_key_pressed] is only recommended over [method is_physical_key_pressed] in non-game applications. This ensures that shortcut keys behave as expected depending on the user's keyboard layout, as keyboard shortcuts are generally dependent on the keyboard layout in non-game applications. If in doubt, use [method is_physical_key_pressed]. [b]Note:[/b] Due to keyboard ghosting, [method is_key_pressed] may return [code]false[/code] even if one of the action's keys is pressed. See [url=$DOCS_URL/tutorials/inputs/input_examples.html#keyboard-events]Input examples[/url] in the documentation for more information. </description> </method> <method name="is_mouse_button_pressed" qualifiers="const"> <return type="bool" /> <argument index="0" name="button" type="int" enum="MouseButton" /> <description> Returns [code]true[/code] if you are pressing the mouse button specified with [enum MouseButton]. </description> </method> <method name="is_physical_key_pressed" qualifiers="const"> <return type="bool" /> <argument index="0" name="keycode" type="int" enum="Key" /> <description> Returns [code]true[/code] if you are pressing the key in the physical location on the 101/102-key US QWERTY keyboard. You can pass a [enum Key] constant. [method is_physical_key_pressed] is recommended over [method is_key_pressed] for in-game actions, as it will make [kbd]W[/kbd]/[kbd]A[/kbd]/[kbd]S[/kbd]/[kbd]D[/kbd] layouts work regardless of the user's keyboard layout. [method is_physical_key_pressed] will also ensure that the top row number keys work on any keyboard layout. If in doubt, use [method is_physical_key_pressed]. [b]Note:[/b] Due to keyboard ghosting, [method is_physical_key_pressed] may return [code]false[/code] even if one of the action's keys is pressed. See [url=$DOCS_URL/tutorials/inputs/input_examples.html#keyboard-events]Input examples[/url] in the documentation for more information. </description> </method> <method name="parse_input_event"> <return type="void" /> <argument index="0" name="event" type="InputEvent" /> <description> Feeds an [InputEvent] to the game. Can be used to artificially trigger input events from code. Also generates [method Node._input] calls. Example: [codeblocks] [gdscript] var cancel_event = InputEventAction.new() cancel_event.action = "ui_cancel" cancel_event.pressed = true Input.parse_input_event(cancel_event) [/gdscript] [csharp] var cancelEvent = new InputEventAction(); cancelEvent.Action = "ui_cancel"; cancelEvent.Pressed = true; Input.ParseInputEvent(cancelEvent); [/csharp] [/codeblocks] </description> </method> <method name="remove_joy_mapping"> <return type="void" /> <argument index="0" name="guid" type="String" /> <description> Removes all mappings from the internal database that match the given GUID. </description> </method> <method name="set_accelerometer"> <return type="void" /> <argument index="0" name="value" type="Vector3" /> <description> Sets the acceleration value of the accelerometer sensor. Can be used for debugging on devices without a hardware sensor, for example in an editor on a PC. [b]Note:[/b] This value can be immediately overwritten by the hardware sensor value on Android and iOS. </description> </method> <method name="set_custom_mouse_cursor"> <return type="void" /> <argument index="0" name="image" type="Resource" /> <argument index="1" name="shape" type="int" enum="Input.CursorShape" default="0" /> <argument index="2" name="hotspot" type="Vector2" default="Vector2(0, 0)" /> <description> Sets a custom mouse cursor image, which is only visible inside the game window. The hotspot can also be specified. Passing [code]null[/code] to the image parameter resets to the system cursor. See [enum CursorShape] for the list of shapes. [code]image[/code]'s size must be lower than 256×256. [code]hotspot[/code] must be within [code]image[/code]'s size. [b]Note:[/b] [AnimatedTexture]s aren't supported as custom mouse cursors. If using an [AnimatedTexture], only the first frame will be displayed. [b]Note:[/b] Only images imported with the [b]Lossless[/b], [b]Lossy[/b] or [b]Uncompressed[/b] compression modes are supported. The [b]Video RAM[/b] compression mode can't be used for custom cursors. </description> </method> <method name="set_default_cursor_shape"> <return type="void" /> <argument index="0" name="shape" type="int" enum="Input.CursorShape" default="0" /> <description> Sets the default cursor shape to be used in the viewport instead of [constant CURSOR_ARROW]. [b]Note:[/b] If you want to change the default cursor shape for [Control]'s nodes, use [member Control.mouse_default_cursor_shape] instead. [b]Note:[/b] This method generates an [InputEventMouseMotion] to update cursor immediately. </description> </method> <method name="set_gravity"> <return type="void" /> <argument index="0" name="value" type="Vector3" /> <description> Sets the gravity value of the accelerometer sensor. Can be used for debugging on devices without a hardware sensor, for example in an editor on a PC. [b]Note:[/b] This value can be immediately overwritten by the hardware sensor value on Android and iOS. </description> </method> <method name="set_gyroscope"> <return type="void" /> <argument index="0" name="value" type="Vector3" /> <description> Sets the value of the rotation rate of the gyroscope sensor.

Joypads usually come with two rumble motors, a strong and a weak one. [code]weak_magnitude[/code] is the strength of the weak motor (between 0 and 1) and [code]strong_magnitude[/code] is the strength of the strong motor (between 0 and 1). [code]duration[/code] is the duration of the effect in seconds (a duration of 0 will try to play the vibration indefinitely). [b]Note:[/b] Not every hardware is compatible with long effect durations; it is recommended to restart an effect if it has to be played for more than a few seconds. </description> </method> <method name="stop_joy_vibration"> <return type="void" /> <argument index="0" name="device" type="int" /> <description> Stops the vibration of the joypad. </description> </method> <method name="vibrate_handheld"> <return type="void" /> <argument index="0" name="duration_ms" type="int" default="500" /> <description> Vibrate Android and iOS devices. [b]Note:[/b] For Android, it requires enabling the [code]VIBRATE[/code] permission in the export preset. [b]Note:[/b] For iOS, specifying the duration is supported in iOS 13 and later. </description> </method> <method name="warp_mouse"> <return type="void" /> <argument index="0" name="position" type="Vector2" /> <description> Sets the mouse position to the specified vector, provided in pixels and relative to an origin at the upper left corner of the currently focused Window Manager game window. Mouse position is clipped to the limits of the screen resolution, or to the limits of the game window if [enum MouseMode] is set to [code]MOUSE_MODE_CONFINED[/code] or [code]MOUSE_MODE_CONFINED_HIDDEN[/code]. </description> </method> </methods> <members> <member name="mouse_mode" type="int" setter="set_mouse_mode" getter="get_mouse_mode" enum="Input.MouseMode"> Controls the mouse mode.

When input accumulation is enabled, all input events generated during a frame will be merged and emitted when the frame is done rendering. Therefore, this limits the number of input method calls per second to the rendering FPS. Input accumulation can be disabled to get slightly more precise/reactive input at the cost of increased CPU usage. In applications where drawing freehand lines is required, input accumulation should generally be disabled while the user is drawing the line to get results that closely follow the actual input. </member> </members> <signals> <signal name="joy_connection_changed"> <argument index="0" name="device" type="int" /> <argument index="1" name="connected" type="bool" /> <description> Emitted when a joypad device has been connected or disconnected. </description> </signal> </signals> <constants> <constant name="MOUSE_MODE_VISIBLE" value="0" enum="MouseMode"> Makes the mouse cursor visible if it is hidden. </constant> <constant name="MOUSE_MODE_HIDDEN" value="1" enum="MouseMode"> Makes the mouse cursor hidden if it is visible. </constant> <constant name="MOUSE_MODE_CAPTURED" value="2" enum="MouseMode"> Captures the mouse.
