unreal-enhanced-input is a skill for Claude Code from gamedev-skills/awesome-gamedev-agent-skills. It costs 94 tokens per session (1,643 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide to Unreal Engine 5’s Enhanced Input system for connecting player actions to keyboard, controller, or other device input.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for movement, looking, jumping, firing, input modifiers and triggers, and creating Input Action or Input Mapping Context assets.
Why use it?
It explains how to replace older input mappings with named actions and contexts that can be configured and bound in C++ or Blueprints.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

unreal-enhanced-input scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 134 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Unreal Enhanced Input

Wire player input the modern UE5 way with the Enhanced Input system: data-driven Input Actions and Mapping Contexts instead of the legacy Project Settings axis/action mappings. Targets UE 5.8 (Enhanced Input is the default; legacy input is deprecated).

When to use

  • Use when adding movement/look/jump/fire input, creating Input Action (IA_) and Input Mapping Context (IMC_) assets, applying modifiers/triggers, adding a mapping context to a player, or binding actions in C++ or Blueprints.
  • Use when the project has IA_*/IMC_* assets or references EnhancedInput.

When not to use: engine-agnostic input architecture (rebinding strategy, buffering, multi-device design) → input-systems. The Pawn/Character C++ those bindings live in → unreal-cpp-gameplay.

Core workflow

  1. Enable the module/plugin. Enhanced Input is on by default in UE5; for C++ binding add "EnhancedInput" to PublicDependencyModuleNames in *.Build.cs.
  2. Create Input Actions (IA_). Each has a Value Type: Digital (bool) for buttons, Axis1D (float) for triggers, Axis2D (Vector2D) for movement/look.
  3. Create an Input Mapping Context (IMC_) that maps keys/buttons to those actions. Use Modifiers to shape raw input (Negate, Swizzle Input Axis Values, Dead Zone) — e.g. WASD into one Axis2D needs Negate on A/S and a Swizzle on W/S. Use Triggers (Pressed, Hold, Tap) to decide when an action fires. The Combo trigger is deprecated in UE 5.8; don't build new input on it.
  4. Add the mapping context to the player via the EnhancedInputLocalPlayerSubsystem (AddMappingContext(IMC, Priority)), usually in BeginPlay/possession.
  5. Bind actions to handlers by ETriggerEvent (Triggered, Started, Completed, …) on the EnhancedInputComponent, and read the FInputActionValue in the handler.
  6. Verify in PIE; the Enhanced Input debugging console commands (showdebug enhancedinput) show which actions trigger and their values.
