How can you have the Input Manager Axis values snap to 1 (or -1)?

Question

When a selected key is pressed in Unity, the Input Manager's Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") function returns a gradually increasing number up to 1 (or negatively -1) for the length it is held down. The rate at which it increases is based on the value Sensitivity in the Input Manager. Similarly, the sticks on a controller return a value depending on how far they are tilted.

Is there a proper way to make the value immediately snap to -1 or 1 through the manager, or would I have to write a couple of if statements in my script to handle that?\

Edit: A very short and readable scripting option would be if (Mathf.Abs(isRunning) > 0) isRunning = Mathf.Sign(isRunning);

Answer 1

Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");

Reference: http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Input.GetAxisRaw.html

If you are wanting the value to be -1, 0 or 1, use GetAxisRaw for keyboard inputs.

Answer 2

I think you would need to do it the if statement way.

For instance...

For the value to be either 1 or -1:

int amount = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") > 0 ? 1 : -1;

For the value to be 1, 0, or -1:

float f;
int amount = (f=Input.GetAxis("Horizontal")) > 0 ? 1 : f < 0 ? -1 : 0;
