Struct VirtualAxis 

pub struct VirtualAxis {
    pub negative: Box<dyn Buttonlike>,
    pub positive: Box<dyn Buttonlike>,
    pub processors: Vec<AxisProcessor>,
}

A virtual single-axis control constructed from two Buttonlikes. One button represents the negative direction (left for the X-axis, down for the Y-axis), while the other represents the positive direction (right for the X-axis, up for the Y-axis).

Value Processing

You can customize how the values are processed using a pipeline of processors. See WithAxisProcessingPipelineExt for details.

The raw value is determined based on the state of the associated buttons:

• -1.0 if only the negative button is currently pressed.
• 1.0 if only the positive button is currently pressed.
• 0.0 if neither button is pressed, or both are pressed simultaneously.

use bevy::input::InputPlugin;
use leafwing_input_manager::prelude::*;
use leafwing_input_manager::user_input::testing_utils::FetchUserInput;
use leafwing_input_manager::plugin::CentralInputStorePlugin;

let mut app = App::new();
app.add_plugins((InputPlugin, CentralInputStorePlugin));

// Define a virtual Y-axis using arrow "up" and "down" keys
let axis = VirtualAxis::vertical_arrow_keys();

// Pressing either key activates the input
KeyCode::ArrowUp.press(app.world_mut());
app.update();
assert_eq!(app.read_axis_value(axis), 1.0);

// You can configure a processing pipeline (e.g., doubling the value)
let doubled = VirtualAxis::vertical_arrow_keys().sensitivity(2.0);
assert_eq!(app.read_axis_value(doubled), 2.0);

Fields

negative: Box<dyn Buttonlike>

The button that represents the negative direction.

positive: Box<dyn Buttonlike>

The button that represents the positive direction.

processors: Vec<AxisProcessor>

A processing pipeline that handles input values.
