Question

When using the handle_input() I have within my state, it doubles the action. But when I move that same line to the owner, it doesn’t. Any ideas? Here’s how it looks:

(OWNER)
func _unhandled_input(event: InputEvent) -> void 
state_machine._unhandled_input(event)

(STATE MACHINE) 
func _unhandled_input(event: InputEvent) -> void:
	state.handle_input(event)

(STATE //abstract class//) 
func handle_input(_event: InputEvent):
	pass

(STATE_1 //extends STATE) 
func handle_input(event: InputEvent):
	if event.is_action_pressed("left"):
		owner.action.emit("Left")
	elif event.is_action_pressed("right"):
		owner.action.emit("Right")

When I move if event.is_action_pressed("left"): owner.action.emit("Left") directly to the owner class, it works perfectly fine. Thank you for the help!

_unhandled_input is a Node override, both your Owner and State Machine are taking inputs because both have _unhandled_input defined. You can probably remove the owner’s override. Your states have handle_input which is not an override because it is missing the leading underscore _
