Input
=====

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

A singleton for handling inputs.

.. rst-class:: classref-introduction-group

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

The **Input** singleton handles key presses, mouse buttons and movement, gamepads, and input actions. Actions and their events can be set in the **Input Map** tab in **Project > Project Settings**, or with the :ref:`InputMap<class_InputMap>` class.

\ **Note:** **Input**'s methods reflect the global input state and are not affected by :ref:`Control.accept_event()<class_Control_method_accept_event>` or :ref:`Viewport.set_input_as_handled()<class_Viewport_method_set_input_as_handled>`, as those methods only deal with the way input is propagated in the :ref:`SceneTree<class_SceneTree>`.

- |void| **set_use_accumulated_input**\ (\ value\: :ref:`bool<class_bool>`\ )
- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **is_using_accumulated_input**\ (\ )

If ``true``, similar input events sent by the operating system are accumulated. 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.

\ **Note:** Input accumulation is *enabled* by default.

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.

\ **Note:** This method will not cause any :ref:`Node._input()<class_Node_private_method__input>` calls. It is intended to be used with :ref:`is_action_pressed()<class_Input_method_is_action_pressed>` and :ref:`is_action_just_pressed()<class_Input_method_is_action_just_pressed>`.

----

.. _class_Input_method_flush_buffered_events:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

|void| **flush_buffered_events**\ (\ ) :ref:`🔗<class_Input_method_flush_buffered_events>`

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 (:ref:`use_accumulated_input<class_Input_property_use_accumulated_input>`) or agile input flushing (:ref:`ProjectSettings.input_devices/buffering/agile_event_flushing<class_ProjectSettings_property_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.

.. _class_Input_method_get_accelerometer:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`Vector3<class_Vector3>` **get_accelerometer**\ (\ ) |const| :ref:`🔗<class_Input_method_get_accelerometer>`

Returns the acceleration in m/s² of the device's accelerometer sensor, if the device has one. Otherwise, the method returns :ref:`Vector3.ZERO<class_Vector3_constant_ZERO>`.

Note this method returns an empty :ref:`Vector3<class_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.

\ **Note:** This method only works on Android and iOS. On other platforms, it always returns :ref:`Vector3.ZERO<class_Vector3_constant_ZERO>`.

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 :ref:`get_action_strength()<class_Input_method_get_action_strength>` instead.

If ``exact_match`` is ``false``, it ignores additional input modifiers for :ref:`InputEventKey<class_InputEventKey>` and :ref:`InputEventMouseButton<class_InputEventMouseButton>` events, and the direction for :ref:`InputEventJoypadMotion<class_InputEventJoypadMotion>` events.

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 such as the keyboard, the value returned will be 0 or 1.

If ``exact_match`` is ``false``, it ignores additional input modifiers for :ref:`InputEventKey<class_InputEventKey>` and :ref:`InputEventMouseButton<class_InputEventMouseButton>` events, and the direction for :ref:`InputEventJoypadMotion<class_InputEventJoypadMotion>` events.

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`String<class_String>` **get_joy_guid**\ (\ device\: :ref:`int<class_int>`\ ) |const| :ref:`🔗<class_Input_method_get_joy_guid>`

Returns an SDL2-compatible device GUID on platforms that use gamepad remapping, e.g. ``030000004c050000c405000000010000``. Returns an empty string if it cannot be found. Godot uses the `SDL2 game controller database <https://github.com/gabomdq/SDL_GameControllerDB>`__ to determine gamepad names and mappings based on this GUID.

On Windows, all XInput joypad GUIDs will be overridden by Godot to ``__XINPUT_DEVICE__``, because their mappings are the same.

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).

Sets a custom mouse cursor image, which is only visible inside the game window, for the given mouse ``shape``. The hotspot can also be specified. Passing ``null`` to the image parameter resets to the system cursor.

\ ``image`` can be either :ref:`Texture2D<class_Texture2D>` or :ref:`Image<class_Image>` and its size must be lower than or equal to 256×256. To avoid rendering issues, sizes lower than or equal to 128×128 are recommended.
