Hello everyone. Do someone knows how I can create InputEvent ? I have a file what keeps button index, device Id and input type(key, gamepad, mouse button). I need some was how I can create new InputEvent and pass stored variables to it. Do someone knows how ?

You first have to create the InputEvent simply with InputEvent(). Then set the type and device and depending on what the type is: scancode (for keys), button_index (for mouse buttons) and so on. As example here is the code I used for a game with configurable controls (full source code is here). key_binds is a Dictionary that I used to store the configured key binds. The keys are the action strings and the values are Dictionaries containing type, scancode and button_index.

for action in key_binds.keys():
	for i in range(key_binds[action].size()):
		var ev = InputEvent()
		ev.type = key_binds[action][i]["type"]
		if (ev.type==InputEvent.KEY):
			ev.scancode = key_binds[action][i]["scancode"]
		elif (ev.type==InputEvent.MOUSE_BUTTON):
			ev.button_index = key_binds[action][i]["button_index"]
		if (!InputMap.action_has_event(action,ev)):
			InputMap.action_add_event(action,ev)

Thanks a lot. With those informations I was able to create function below. func _create_input_event(var type, var device_Id, var key): var event = type.new() if event is InputEventMouseButton or event is InputEventJoypadButton: event.device = device_Id event.button_index = key elif event is InputEventKey: event.scancode = key return event Thanks for help.
