GetMouseButton cleared between scene changes

jaimi

In my game, I use a fairly standard 3rd person mouse control setup -- Holding the right mouse button down lets you free look the camera, and the character (when you press forward) moves in the direction the camera is facing. This is like a ton of other games.

But, there is a problem when the scene changes. When you run into a SceneChanger you are normally holding the right mouse button. When the new scene loads, Input.GetMouseButton is no longer reporting that the button is down, so you can no longer free-look, unless you release the button and press it again. Effectively you can no longer turn your character.

It appears that something inside the Ork Framework is calling "Input.ResetInputAxes" when you change scenes, and this messes up the Input.GetMouseButton call.

Is it possible to suppress this behavior?

ORK only resets the input axes on some special occasions, e.g. when pressing the Accept key in a dialogue. This doesn't happen when changing scenes - are you sure that it's working without ORK and Unity isn't resetting them when loading a new scene?

Also, keep in mind that your player will be a new game object in the next scene, i.e. when your control sets a flag on mouse down, this will be gone as well.

You are right, this is a Unity problem, not an ORK problem.
