I’m trying to clean up some code that has a ton of if statements with a ton of:

Input.is_action_pressed("inputName")

I thought you could clean it up by putting it in a variable:

var pressUp = Input.is_action_pressed("ui_up")

It does not seem to work. It lets me run the game, but the inputs stop working. I’m pretty sure I’m missing something simple.

Sure. Input.is_action_pressed returns bool so you can use it like this:

var left = Input.is_action_pressed("ui_left")
var rigt = Input.is_action_pressed("ui_right")

if left:
	something
elif rigt:
	something
else:
	something

Thank you for taking that off my list, so I could fine what was really wrong. It ended up being a logic problem.
