Using the new Input in UEFN 41.30

UEFN added Input (Verse::Input.available_input_devices) in this release. Let's wire up a tiny working example.

How it works

Input is part of the freshly-updated Verse API. The snippet below is a complete, compilable Verse device you can drop into a project to start experimenting.

The code

using { /Fortnite.com/Devices }
using { /Verse.org/Simulation }
using { /UnrealEngine.com/Temporary/Diagnostics }
using { /UnrealEngine.com/Temporary/SpatialMath }

# Demonstrates the new Input type added this release.
input_example := class(creative_device):
    OnBegin<override>()<suspends>:void =
        Print("Exploring the new Input API")

Try it yourself

1. Create a new Verse file in the Verse Explorer.
2. Paste the code above and build Verse code.
3. Place the device in your level and press play.
