Inputter

Inputter is a fully-typed, cross-platform ROBLOX input manager for clean and efficient input handling across PC, mobile, and console devices.

Features​

• Cross-platform support (PC, Console, Mobile)
• Typed input configuration
• Easy integration with existing systems
• Supports multiple simultaneous inputs

Installation​

Using Wally​

Add the following line to your wally.toml dependencies:

Inputter = "adammillsy/inputter@0.1.1"

Then run:

wally install

Manual Installation​

Download a ZIP file of the module from the GitHub repository, and copy the code into your project.

Getting Started​

Require the module in your project:

local Inputter = require(Path.To.Inputter)

The following example creates a new inputter that responds to both mouse and gamepad input:

local exampleInput = Inputter.new("ExampleInput", {
    Inputter.Trigger.PRESS({
        Input = Enum.KeyCode.ButtonR2,
    }),
    Inputter.Trigger.MULTIPLE_PRESS({
        Input = Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1,
    }, 2, 0.3),
})

exampleInput.OnActivated:Connect(function()
    print("Activated")
end)

exampleInput.OnDeactivated:Connect(function()
    print("Deactivated")
end)

Inputter automatically handles platform-specific input logic under the hood.

Why Inputter?​

UserInputService is excellent, however most games focus on one platform before expanding to others. Inputter makes it easy to add and remove input methods, removing the complexity that the default methods provide.
