Using the Input manager component with those callback methods was what I found the most approchable for beginners

One important note :

You need to set event functions IN the prefab and not in the prefabe instance of the scene.
Otherwise it won't function proporely.

Every new Unity Video I realize my Game is missing something 😂😂😂 Thanks!!

2:17 It would've really helped if you'd explained that you need to first add "public PlayerInput playerInput;" *and* get the component in order to make this functionality work. I was so confused.

This is such a useful feature and shouldn't be so hidden away!

[DevDunkStudio]

Glad to see I use it properly!
Documentation can be a bit vague

Touch controls doesn’t seem to be working/included in the project

Amazing tutorial I've been trying to make it work for so long and after watching this everything worked perfectly

Thanks unity for providing your wisdom. I'm trying this for 2 days and now I got the trick to do this.. 😇🙏🏻

[marcuscheong]

Thank you Unity for this useful input system

1. Can player remap the buttons?
2. How would you implement input button glyph visualization that updates when input method changes?

Here is some code they used in the video

Public void value)
{
Vector2inputMovement = value.ReadValue<Vector2>();
rawInputMovement = new Vector3(inputMovement.x, 0, inputMovement.y);
}

Thanks. This makes it easier to understand the new input system, I usually use the old input manager

Ok, at 5:23 you open up the drop down to show the Events in the Player Input, what I missed was a few seconds later at 5:25 was when you clicked that second drop down to expose the Player Controls... this cost me hours of trying to figure out the other event boxes wouldn't accept my Input methods from my script and was super frustrating. Maybe you should put up an annotation or something?

[MakakaOrg]

So, when the old Unity Input System will be deprecated?

[DerAua]

I've selected my playercontroller script, but I cannot set any method. Sad. This is the fourth tutorial that fails me.

[AAAMAQ]

This was very helpful I am developing a test game and this will be a good start thanks unity

[burakcimenli]

It might be just me but it feels more complicated than necessary. But still good job overall thank you

[halfbakedproductions]

I don't get anything in the Inspector when trying to hook up the events. Everything in my class is public but none of them are listed in the Inspector to be assigned.

[polyknap]

It says "rawInputMovement does not exist in the current context"
How can I fix this?
