Cheat Code Input System for Unity

The Cheat Code Input System is a simple script for Unity that allows you to implement cheat codes in your games. Players can enter specific key sequences to activate or deactivate cheats, providing additional features or gameplay enhancements.

Features

  • Define multiple cheat codes with unique key sequences
  • Supports any key on the keyboard as part of the cheat code
  • Uses PlayerPrefs to store cheat states persistently
  • Utilizes UnityEvents to customize behavior on cheat activation or deactivation

Usage

  1. Attach the CheatsInput script to a GameObject in your Unity scene.
  2. In the Inspector, define the cheat codes by adding elements to the Cheat Codes array.
    • Specify the cheat key (PlayerPrefs key) for each cheat code.
    • Define the key sequence by adding KeyCode values to the Sequence array.
    • Customize the behavior by assigning UnityEvents to the On Cheat Activated and On Cheat Deactivated events.
  3. Players can now enter the specified key sequences during gameplay to activate or deactivate cheats.
  4. I personally don't like to perform any unneccesary processing during gameplay time for performance reasons, so I reccomend adding the cheat code input to your main menu scene although it can be used during gameplay if desired.
