npx --yes uloop-cli@2.2.0 replay-input

Replay recorded keyboard and mouse input during PlayMode. Loads a JSON recording and injects input frame-by-frame via Input System with zero CLI overhead. Supports looping and progress monitoring.

Usage

# Start replay (auto-detect latest recording)
npx --yes uloop-cli@2.2.0 replay-input --action Start

# Start replay with specific file
npx --yes uloop-cli@2.2.0 replay-input --action Start --input-path scripts/my-play.json

# Start replay with looping
npx --yes uloop-cli@2.2.0 replay-input --action Start --loop true

# Check replay progress
npx --yes uloop-cli@2.2.0 replay-input --action Status

# Stop replay
npx --yes uloop-cli@2.2.0 replay-input --action Stop

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
--action	enum	Start	Start, Stop, Status
--input-path	string	auto	JSON path. Auto-detects latest in .uloop/outputs/InputRecordings/
--show-overlay	boolean	true	Show replay progress overlay
--loop	boolean	false	Loop continuously

Deterministic Replay

Replay injects the exact same input frame-by-frame, but the game must also be deterministic to produce identical results. If replay output must be compared across runs, read references/deterministic-replay.md before interpreting failures.

Prerequisites

• Unity must be in PlayMode
• Input System package must be installed (com.unity.inputsystem)
• Use this only when the project already uses the New Input System.

Output

Returns JSON with:

• Success: Whether the operation succeeded
• Message: Status message
• Action: Echoes which action was executed (Start, Stop, or Status)
• InputPath: Path to recording file (nullable string; populated on Start only)
• CurrentFrame: Current replay frame index (nullable int)
• TotalFrames: Total frames in the recording (nullable int)
• Progress: Replay progress (nullable float in 0.0 – 1.0)
• IsReplaying: Whether replay is currently active (nullable bool)

These are the only eight fields. There is no LoopCount, ElapsedSeconds, OverlayVisible, or per-frame inspection data in the response.
