The GetButtonOrigin method in the Sandbox.Input class is used to retrieve the origin of a button input as a string. This can be useful for displaying the source of an input action, such as a keyboard key or a game controller button, in a user interface or for debugging purposes.
To use the GetButtonOrigin method, call it with the name of the button and a boolean indicating whether to ignore the controller input. The method will return a string representing the origin of the button input.
Parameters:
name (System.String): The name of the button whose origin you want to retrieve.ignoreController (System.Boolean): A boolean value indicating whether to ignore controller input. If set to true, the method will not consider controller inputs when determining the button origin.Returns: A System.String representing the origin of the specified button input.
// Example usage of GetButtonOrigin string buttonName = "Jump"; bool ignoreController = false; string buttonOrigin = Input.GetButtonOrigin(buttonName, ignoreController); // Output the button origin // This could be used to display the input source in a UI debugger.Log(buttonOrigin);
