Get Action Control (Flowgraph Node)

Overview

• Node Name: Get action control
• Category: repeat_instant
• File: extensions/flowgraph/nodes/input/getActionControl.lua
• Tags: scenario

Returns the control name (key/button binding) mapped to a given input action.

Pin Schema

Input Pins

Output Pins

Internals

• Simple per-frame node - calls core_input_bindings.getControlForAction() every frame.
• Returns the currently bound control name as a string.

How It Works

1. Each frame, looks up the control binding for the given action name.
2. Outputs the control name (e.g., "keyboard W", "gamepad RT").
3. Useful for displaying context-sensitive control hints in UI.

Lua Code Example

-- Get the control bound to the accelerate action
local control = core_input_bindings.getControlForAction("accelerate")
-- control might be "keyboard W" or "gamepad RT"

Key Dependencies

• core_input_bindings.getControlForAction() - resolves action name to bound control
