Allow scroll wheel to be bound to other slots aside from weapon scrolling.

[darling]

I use my scroll wheel up to melee in fps games, and it's been kinda annoying to have to use a different bind for it and I think it'd feel way more natural if I could use the scroll wheel up on melee, and it doesn't seem like a big thing to add to the game. Would be convenient.

It might not seem like a big thing, but it actually is, because allowing for the scroll wheel to be rebindable and not just hardcoded to weapon switching would require a full change/rewrite of the input system, because scrolling isn't recognised in the same way that a button press is. It would be a lot of work for something very few people would use, so you'll probably be best off getting a third party remapping program that can force that kind of change instead.

Thanks for the response! I had a feeling that there was a reason for it not being bindable but it was worth a shot. Thanks for the quick reply! I'll just have to use a macro for it, it's not a major concern.

Complain to Unity, I didn't write their input system.

What a load of crap! Prodeus just released on the same engine and it has this basic feature.
You might not care, but it's a big deal for some of us.

as a former unity user i can say its not as easy as "oh x game has it"
rewriting an entire ass system over a niche thing is not something that simple
the last thing this game needs is a tremendous janky input script to break every few updates because someone was unhappy with the default
unity is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ pain to use to begin with, and im pretty sure prodeus was the gzdoom engine

It is on Unity and it does allow you to bind the wheel to whatever you want.
Oh, and it doesn't break after every update.

Just to necro this thread. I just played through Turbo Overkill and that game is on Unity and it has this feature. Just saying...

Just played through the 'Incision' early access, it's also on Unity and guess what.... You can bind the mouse-wheel to whatever you want.

lmao chill dude, Ultrakill uses Unity's old input system. The games you mentioned all use the new input system. Ultrakill was being developed before Unity released the new system that allows you to rebind the mouse wheel. It's a lot of work to update it.

.....Well, I suppose a good alternative here would be to use GlovePIE to set "Key.E = Mouse.WheelUp" and "Key.R = Mouse.WheelDown" ((Key.E is set to next variation; Key.Q is set to prev variation, in my case)
