ContextActionService firing twice?

Bug Reports Engine Bugs
#1

I am writing a game where the B button on the gamepad activates a skill. When the user is in a menu, I want B to close the menu instead.

I tried using ContextActionService and Binding the actions with priorities 1 and 2. The problem is that it fires the action on both button press, and release. So when I close my shop and unbind the close action, the B button will still trigger the player’s skill ability when they release it.


ContextActionService:BindActionAtPriority("Action1", function() print("1"), false, 1, Enum.KeyCode.ButtonB)

function UnbindFunction()
    ContextActionService:UnbindAction("CloseShop")
end

ContextActionService:BindActionAtPriority("CloseShop", UnbindFunction, false, 2, Enum.KeyCode.ButtonB)

-- Pressing B on a controller will print "1", despite the UnbindFunction having higher priority before cancelling itself.

I found the solution, there’s documentation on this other API:

Basically you need to check the inputState == Enum.UserInputState.Begin to ensure it only fires on press!
