Add or rebind inputs¶

GASPALS uses Enhanced Input. The pawns add one mapping context, IMC_Sandbox, when a player possesses them. The systems listen to input actions (IA_*), not keys, so rebinding is a matter of editing mappings.

Rebind a key¶

Open /GASPALS/Input/Mappings/IMC_Sandbox, find the action, and change its key. For example, move the cover button from Q to F. Save; the change applies at the next Play.

Add gamepad bindings¶

A few actions have no gamepad key in IMC_Sandbox: IA_Cover, IA_Equipment, IA_Overlay_Pose, IA_Overlay_Body, IA_Camera_Perspective, IA_Camera_Style, IA_Takedown, IA_TriggerRagdoll. Add a mapping for each with the buttons you want, for example the right stick click for cover (then move Switch Shoulder elsewhere).

Note

The Z key is hard-wired to the Mover pawns' debug flying toggle (keyboard only; it does not use a gamepad button). Remove that node from the Mover pawn's Event Graph (an Input Key node for Z) before shipping.

Use your own mapping context¶

Create your context and map the GASPALS input actions (copy IMC_Sandbox to start).
In each pawn's SetupInput function, replace IMC_Sandbox in Add Mapping Context with yours.

Add more contexts the same way, with a higher priority for contexts that should win.

Who handles which action¶

Handled by	Actions
The pawn	Move, look, sprint, walk, strafe, aim, crouch, jump, cover
`PC_Sandbox`	Next pawn, next character, teleport
`AC_CameraSystem`	Perspective, style, shoulder
`AC_EquipmentSystem`	Equipment menu, menu next / previous
`AC_OverlaySystem`	Overlay pose and body menus, menu next / previous
`AC_RagdollSystem`	Ragdoll (CMC pawn)
`AC_SmartObjectAnimation`	Interact (benches)
`SandboxCharacter_Mover_Ragdoll`	Trigger ragdoll, takedown, interact (shove), jump (get up)

Components bind their own input actions, so they receive input only when their pawn is player controlled and a context maps the action. The full list is in Input actions.

Add an input to a system¶

Example: a button that leaves cover at once.

Create an input action IA_LeaveCover (Digital, bool) in /GASPALS/Input.
Map it in IMC_Sandbox.
In the pawn's Event Graph, add the IA_LeaveCover event and, on Started, call AC_CoverSystem > ExitCover.
On the Mover pawn, remember that movement goes through the input command: changes that affect movement should be read in ProduceInput rather than applied directly.

Unused input assets¶

IMC_Sandbox is the only mapping context in /GASPALS/Input/Mappings. Traversal runs from IA_Jump; there is no separate traverse action. IA_TwinStick_AimDirection is read by the Mover pawn's twin-stick mode but not mapped.
