Godot Input Handler System

Take control of your input pipeline with a deterministic, modular, and race-condition-free input handler for Godot 4.

Features

• No more "ghost inputs" - stop multiple scripts from reacting to the same input.
• No more spaghetti code - Move logic out of player scripts and into modular subhandlers.
• Deterministic order - UI, Menus, and Gameplay are handled in the exact order you set in the Scene Tree.

How to Use

1. Download the input_handler.gd and input_subhandler.gd scripts and put them inside your Godot game's Assets directory.
2. Now these will appear as InputHandler and InputSubhandler instances when you go to add a new Node to your game.
3. Add the InputHandler to the game (either directly to the top or inside your player).
4. Add a InputSubhandler and extend its script.
5. Add your activation actions in the InputSubhandler's properties. The key will be a valid action name from your game's Input Map and the value will be an activation mode, the options are: Just Pressed, Just Released, Pressed Continuous.
6. Override the _on_activate(_event: InputEvent) -> InputHandler.InputHandledState method to your liking. Example method to make sure it works:
