FoxInput — Gesture Detection, Combos & Input Management Toolkit

A production-ready input toolkit for Blueprint projects. Detect double-taps, hold-or-tap gestures, long-presses, multi-taps, fighting-game tap patterns and full input sequences — all latent, all without writing custom C++ tick code. Plus an input-buffer component, lock/unlock helpers, context stack, and live device detection.

KEY FEATURES

1. Fighting-Game Gestures — Double-tap, long-press, multi-tap, tap-pattern detectors as latent actions

2. Sequence Detection — InputSequenceDetector for full combo strings with timing windows

3. Input Buffer — Drop-in component that records the last-N inputs for combo recognition

4. Context Stack — Push/pop input contexts so UI doesn't fire gameplay actions and vice versa

5. Device Auto-Detection — Reports KeyboardMouse / Gamepad / Touch in real time

6. Lock-for-Duration — One-call timed input lockout for cinematics, hit-stun, dialog

7. Direction Helper — 8-way directional input from a single node

8. Zero Setup — Async actions discover the local PlayerController automatically
