How do I get pen pressure values in Unity (using S Pen on Android)?

Question

I've looked everywhere and there's no actual examples or tutorials regarding using tablet pens with Unity.

I tried using the GetTouch function I found on a forum just to see if that would work:

float pressure = Input.GetTouch(0).pressure;

then displaying the value as a string to see it's value, but I get a "Index out of bound" error.

Answer 1

First you have to install the package Input System

After that you have to add the namespace UnityEngine.InputSystem to your script (line 2).

The value can be read with Pointer.current.pressure.clampConstant
