InputLayers is designed to simplify and extend the usability of the built-in Input Actions system through the use of a rich layer-based filtering system.

Render pipeline compatibility

The Built-in Render Pipeline is Unity’s default render pipeline. It is a general-purpose render pipeline that has limited options for customization. The Universal Render Pipeline (URP) is a Scriptable Render Pipeline that is quick and easy to customize, and lets you create optimized graphics across a wide range of platforms. The High Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP) is a Scriptable Render Pipeline that lets you create cutting-edge, high-fidelity graphics on high-end platforms.

Technical details

📖 Find the full documentation on GitHub!

At its core, InputLayers is about letting you easily have multiple systems/UIs/controllers/… react to the same InputAction without:

Having to manually enable/disable input handling for one system if another has taken over.
Having to create and configure dozens of ActionMaps with the same InputActions assigned to them just to manage inputs for all your systems/UIs/controllers/…
Risking the integrity of your input system anytime a new system or UI is added to the game.

To achieve this, InputLayers lets you configure Layers sorted into Priorities using a dedicated editor window. You can then use LayeredActions which belong to a specific Layer in place of the default InputActions.
