Player movement with a match statement

4rowswiss

Hey, I started learning Godot. And i was wondering if there is any way around the if statements in a character controller. Currently I am using this controller:

if Input.is_action_pressed("ui_right"):
		 velocity.x += 1
	if Input.is_action_pressed("ui_left"):
		velocity.x -= 1
	if Input.is_action_pressed("ui_down"):
		velocity.y += 1
	if Input.is_action_pressed("ui_up"):
		velocity.y -= 1

If anyone knows if it is possible to do something with a match statement please feel free to tell me. Or maybe there is a better or simpler character controller.

Thanks in advance

Yes, using Input.get_action_strength() which also gives you analog input support for free (e.g. gamepads):

velocity.x = Input.get_action_strength("ui_right") -  Input.get_action_strength("ui_left")
velocity.y = Input.get_action_strength("ui_down") -  Input.get_action_strength("ui_up")
