Description
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
Fighting-Game Gestures — Double-tap, long-press, multi-tap, tap-pattern detectors as latent actions
Sequence Detection — InputSequenceDetector for full combo strings with timing windows
Input Buffer — Drop-in component that records the last-N inputs for combo recognition
Context Stack — Push/pop input contexts so UI doesn't fire gameplay actions and vice versa
Device Auto-Detection — Reports KeyboardMouse / Gamepad / Touch in real time
Lock-for-Duration — One-call timed input lockout for cinematics, hit-stun, dialog
Direction Helper — 8-way directional input from a single node
Zero Setup — Async actions discover the local PlayerController automatically
