Understanding Input

Getting Input

Input Class

Celeste uses the static Input class to retrieve user input when needed. The Input class contains a number of members, each referencing a different input.

Luckily, getting input from within your own code mod is as simple as getting the value held within the field you need. Ex: Input.Jump.Pressed

Most values are pretty self-evident, such as the state of a button or key, represented as a boolean, but some require a little more explanation.

Buttons

Each button has a few relevant values: Pressed, Released, and Check. These return the following:

• Check - Is the button currently pressed?
• Pressed - Was the button just pressed?
• Released - Was the button just released?

Axis Movement

Axis movement is split into the MoveX and MoveY fields, as well as GliderMoveY for Jellies

Each Axis returns a floating point value between -1 and 1.

Joystick

Joystick position, under the Aim member, is used primarily for movement while in a Feather. There is also MountainAim, which is used for moving the camera while on the overworld.

The Aim value is an Xna.Framework Vector2 with both values clamped between -1 and 1.
