InputManager - Advanced Input System for Godot 4.5+
Description
InputManager is a plugin for Godot 4.5x used to receive and handle gamepad events, as well as to configure inputs in an easier and more practical way. Each gamepad action can be named and assigned a key to be handled according to the player's actions. Action buttons can have their states changed to PRESSED (when held down), RELEASED (when the button is released), ONESHOT (for a single shot), and TOGGLE (to toggle the value).
Features include:
- Select the device connected to the pc
- Configurable Deadzone for analog sticks and triggers buttons
- Toggle, Oneshot, and Release Events
- Dynamic Action and Button Mapping
- Support for Multiple Gamepads
- Built-in Signals for easy integration
- Controller Vibration (Rumble)
- Script or Inspector Configuration
Perfect for 3D or 2D games of any genre — platformer, shooter, racing, RPG, and more.

Basic Usage
Analog Control
@onready var input_manager: InputManager = $InputManager
func _physics_process(delta: float) -> void:
if input_manager.get_left_stick().length() > 0.0:
var direction: Vector2 = input_manager.get_left_stick()
#var direction: Vector2 = input_manager.get_action_stick("move")
#var direction: Vector2 = input_manager.get_action("move") as Vector2
$Player.move(direction)
Toggle
@onready var input_manager: InputManager = $InputManager
func _physics_process(delta: float) -> void:
$Player.crouch = input_manager.get_left_shoulder_toggle()
Check if an action is pressed
@onready var input_manager: InputManager = $InputManager
func _physics_process(delta: float) -> void:
# Check if button A has been pressed and fire several shots while the button is held down.
if input_manager.get_button_a_pressed():
$Player.shoot()
One-shot action
@onready var input_manager: InputManager = $InputManager
func _physics_process(delta: float) -> void:
if input_manager.get_button_a_oneshot():
$Player.shoot()
Released action
@onready var input_manager: InputManager = $InputManager
func _physics_process(delta: float) -> void:
if input_manager.get_button_y_realesed():
$Player.stop_dash()
Controller Vibration
