Question about proxy input?(SOLVED)

Questions
1

I am working on a lib for scene managment.
Now i am implementing popups. But i have problem with input.
I move from Scene1 to Scene2 then move back.
Input when i unload scene1 work. But input when scene2 is popup and scene1 not unloaded, not work.
The main difference i don’t disable and unload scene1 when move to scene2.

As i understand. I have input for go with collection proxy(input1). Then i have input for script in that collection proxy(input2). Input2 is child of input1. When i release input1 it removed frow input stack. When i return to scene1 i acquire new input(input3). Input3 know nothing about input2 right?

So if i release input for collection proxy, i lose all input inside that collection. When i need input again, i need acquire input for all child again? Right?

You shouldn’t have to acquire input focus for the game objects inside the proxy again. That’s a separate input stack that if I’m not mistaken is kept intact even though the proxy loses input.

In my experience if i release input for proxy, input for go inside that proxy also released. When i acquire that input again i need to acquare all inputs for go inside proxy again.

I can share project. It work as i said. I check again. You need to acquire inputs again. https://yadi.sk/d/0u-y0L5n3TCLzH

I just tried with the following setup:

  • Two game objects: A and B
  • A has a collection proxy referencing a collection with a game object C
  • All three game objects A, B and C has script components attached
  • All three game objects A, B and C acquires input focus in their init() functions
  • A loads the collection
  • When input is received it either goes to A or B first. If it goes to A first the input goes in to the proxy and processes it’s internal input stack which in that case means that the order is A, C and finally B. If B is the first to get input the order is B, A and C.
  • If input focus is released from A the only input received is in B
  • If input focus is reacquired for A the input is received in A, then C and finally B. C does NOT have to acquire input focus again.

Good that you found the problem! Do you plan to share your scene manager when it’s done?
