Nexus Component

This component is the host of all InputLink's and manages them. It's also responsible for link bundles, mapping contexts and buffering inputs.

Buffering inputs

To open and close an input buffer channel, simply call OpenInputBufferChannel and CloseInputBufferChannel. Go here to read more about how input buffers work.

• You can check if a channel is open through the IsBufferChannelOpen function.

Managing inputs

• To completely disable or enable a NexusComponent, call ToggleInputEvents. You can also call the native Activate or Deactivate functions, which will toggle the input events appropriately.

• To disable or enable an input action, call ToggleInputEventsForInputAction.

• Multiple NexusComponent's are supported on an actor, but it's up to you to retrieve the one you want. You might want to create a list of what type of input logic the pawn will use and what kind of input logic the controller will use. For example:

  • Controller: Handles UI logic, such as the escape button summoning the escape screen.

  • Pawn: Handles movement and interaction. In the case that the player possesses a vehicle pawn, this will automatically disable the other pawns movement and interaction events.
