buttonName | The name of the button such as Jump. |
bool True when an axis has been pressed and not released.
Returns true while the virtual button identified by buttonName
is held down.
Note: This API is part of the legacy Input
class, and not recommended for new projects. The documentation is provided here to support legacy projects that use the old Input Manager and Input class. For new projects you should use the newer and Input System Package. (read more).
Think auto fire - this will return true as long as the button is held down.
Use this only when implementing events that trigger an action, eg, shooting a weapon.
The buttonName
argument will normally be one of the names in InputManager such as Jump or
Fire1. GetButton will return to false
when it is released.
Note: Use GetAxis for input that controls continuous movement.
// Instantiates a projectile every 0.5 seconds, // if the Fire1 button (default is Ctrl) is pressed.
