[docimg=action_set_layers_basic_1.png]action_set_layers_basic_1.png[/docimg] When the player selects a class, the appropriate layer is added, e.g. "sniper" [docimg=action_set_layers_sniper_2.png]action_set_layers_sniper_2.png[/docimg] The code for this might look something like: [code=cpp] void changeClass(EClassID myClass) { if(myClass == SNIPER) { SteamInput()->ActivateActionSetLayer( controllerHandle1, sniperLayerHandle ); } //logic for other classes } [/code] If the player enters or exits a vehicle, the controls for the vehicle layer are activated/deactivated on those state changes, adding or removing new controls for vehicle specific functions. …
