What are other ways of getting input than through Input.get_action_strength?

I'm using an older Mac that doesn't support the latest version of Godot. I got an older version, so now I'm using v3.0.6. This release is from earlier than when Input.get_action_strenth was implemented, so I'm looking for other ways of getting inputs. Thank you!

Godot 3.0 was before the input rework that landed in 3.1, which did not have unified deadzone handling for controller inputs.

If you are looking to get keyboard input, use Input.is_action_pressed() (with actions) or Input.is_key_pressed() (with hardcoded keys).

PS: Which macOS version are you using?

Hi. I'm running MacOS X 10.11.6. Is there a way to use them by adding a library or something? Even though it's included in Godot, is there a way that I could use something with the same functions as Input.get_action_strength? Is there any way to find if there is a controller input?

What machine is this? There is no way to update the OS?

Doesn't Godot 3.1 or 3.2 run on macOS 10.11?

I'm an a mid 2011 Mac Pro. Yes, I can update the OS, but I'm worried that the new MacOS might get rid of iMovie or something

I tried, but it didn't work

I've made some functions to mimic Input.get_action_strength now, so I'm okay. Thanks anyway

Nevermind, it does work, so thank you

Why not just update your OS? I think Godot will still work, and there are probably security fixes.
