InputMap
========

**Inherits:** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

Singleton that manages :ref:`InputEventAction<class_InputEventAction>`.

Description
-----------

Manages all :ref:`InputEventAction<class_InputEventAction>` which can be created/modified from the project settings menu **Project > Project Settings > Input Map** or in code with :ref:`add_action<class_InputMap_method_add_action>` and :ref:`action_add_event<class_InputMap_method_action_add_event>`. See :ref:`Node._input<class_Node_method__input>`.

Method Descriptions
-------------------

.. _class_InputMap_method_action_add_event:

- void **action_add_event** **(** :ref:`String<class_String>` action, :ref:`InputEvent<class_InputEvent>` event **)**

Adds an :ref:`InputEvent<class_InputEvent>` to an action. This :ref:`InputEvent<class_InputEvent>` will trigger the action.

----

.. _class_InputMap_method_action_erase_event:

- void **action_erase_event** **(** :ref:`String<class_String>` action, :ref:`InputEvent<class_InputEvent>` event **)**

Removes an :ref:`InputEvent<class_InputEvent>` from an action.

----

.. _class_InputMap_method_action_erase_events:

- void **action_erase_events** **(** :ref:`String<class_String>` action **)**

Removes all events from an action.

----

.. _class_InputMap_method_action_get_deadzone:

- :ref:`float<class_float>` **action_get_deadzone** **(** :ref:`String<class_String>` action **)**

Returns a deadzone value for the action.

----

.. _class_InputMap_method_action_has_event:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **action_has_event** **(** :ref:`String<class_String>` action, :ref:`InputEvent<class_InputEvent>` event **)**

Returns ``true`` if the action has the given :ref:`InputEvent<class_InputEvent>` associated with it.

----

.. _class_InputMap_method_action_set_deadzone:

- void **action_set_deadzone** **(** :ref:`String<class_String>` action, :ref:`float<class_float>` deadzone **)**

Sets a deadzone value for the action.

----

.. _class_InputMap_method_add_action:

- void **add_action** **(** :ref:`String<class_String>` action, :ref:`float<class_float>` deadzone=0.5 **)**

Adds an empty action to the ``InputMap`` with a configurable ``deadzone``.

An :ref:`InputEvent<class_InputEvent>` can then be added to this action with :ref:`action_add_event<class_InputMap_method_action_add_event>`.

----

.. _class_InputMap_method_erase_action:

- void **erase_action** **(** :ref:`String<class_String>` action **)**

Removes an action from the ``InputMap``.

----

.. _class_InputMap_method_event_is_action:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **event_is_action** **(** :ref:`InputEvent<class_InputEvent>` event, :ref:`String<class_String>` action **)** |const|

Returns ``true`` if the given event is part of an existing action. This method ignores keyboard modifiers if the given :ref:`InputEvent<class_InputEvent>` is not pressed (for proper release detection). See :ref:`action_has_event<class_InputMap_method_action_has_event>` if you don't want this behavior.

----

.. _class_InputMap_method_get_action_list:

- :ref:`Array<class_Array>` **get_action_list** **(** :ref:`String<class_String>` action **)**

Returns an array of :ref:`InputEvent<class_InputEvent>`\ s associated with a given action.

----

.. _class_InputMap_method_get_actions:

- :ref:`Array<class_Array>` **get_actions** **(** **)**

Returns an array of all actions in the ``InputMap``.

----

.. _class_InputMap_method_has_action:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **has_action** **(** :ref:`String<class_String>` action **)** |const|

Returns ``true`` if the ``InputMap`` has a registered action with the given name.

----

.. _class_InputMap_method_load_from_globals:

- void **load_from_globals** **(** **)**

Clears all :ref:`InputEventAction<class_InputEventAction>` in the ``InputMap`` and load it anew from :ref:`ProjectSettings<class_ProjectSettings>`.
