Fix sneak toggle triggering when opening inventory screen
Description
Fixes [Bug] Sneaking issue where players with Toggle Sneak enabled would unexpectedly start sneaking when opening the inventory screen while sprinting.
Problem
When a player has Toggle Sneak enabled and opens the inventory (or any screen) while sprinting, they would start sneaking after closing the screen. This happened consistently and was particularly noticeable with the following reproduction steps:
- Enable Toggle Sneak in Controlify settings
- Hold sprint button and walk forward
- Press the Inventory button
- Close the inventory â Player is now sneaking unexpectedly
Root Cause
When a screen opens, ControllerPlayerMovement.tick() returns early and resets all movement state, including setting the sneak state to false. When the screen closes and normal game logic resumes, the sneak toggle logic executes. Due to binding state transitions during the screen open/close cycle, sneak.justPressed() could return true on the first tick after the screen closes, causing the toggle logic to activate and switch sneaking from false to true.
Solution
Added a wasInScreen flag to track screen transitions and prevent the sneak toggle from triggering on the first tick after exiting a screen:
- When a screen is open, set
wasInScreen = true - Skip the sneak toggle logic if
wasInScreenis true (first tick after screen closes) - Reset
wasInScreen = falseafter processing the sneak logic
This prevents spurious toggle events during screen transitions while preserving normal toggle sneak functionality in all other scenarios.
Changes
Modified src/main/java/dev/isxander/controlify/ingame/ControllerPlayerMovement.java:
- Added
wasInScreenboolean field to track screen state - Updated
tick()method to set the flag when in a screen - Modified sneak toggle condition to check
!this.wasInScreen - Reset flag after sneak processing
Testing
Manual testing recommended with Toggle Sneak enabled:
- Sprint and open inventory â No unexpected sneaking â
- Normal toggle sneak functionality â Works as expected â
- Other movement states â Unaffected â
Impact
- Fixes: Unexpected sneaking when opening screens while sprinting
- Preserves: All existing toggle sneak functionality
- Side effects: None - existing behavior where sneak state resets when entering screens is maintained
Tested scenario is from the original bug report using a DualShock 4 controller, but the fix applies to all controller types.
