How To Use The New Input System In Unity 2022

In this video I walk through step by step on how to move a simple 2D sprite using WASD, Arrow Keys and the Left Analogue of a controller.

I'm still new to making these tutorials so please leave any feedback or ideas for future videos in the comments section below!

Absolutely amazing how they made something so simple so complicated!

I was struggling to find someone to explain this simply. Thank you.

Hella dope, man. Hella glad to see the Mercedes on the channel, rolling with that heat. Looking forward to seeing it built the way you wanna build it.

cool!!! but please set the font size of the unity a bit bigger on the next ones, thanks for the tutorial

For the analog stick you don't need to make a composite input, you can just use a normal binding to the left stick instead of compositing each direction of the left stick.

Great guide, but little note i'd like to add is that it's kinda hard to see. I think zooming in on points would help tremendously! Great guide regardless.

This video definitely cleared some things up and got me out of a rabbit hole! Thanks for putting it up!

[Zambad]

Thank you for a clear and concise tutorial on a topic that gets very confusing otherwise (I tried to read the official manual before this...)

Best video 'bout new input system i've seen honestly

[BuffChocobo]

Gonna include this in some of my recommended tutorials at work. I have been beating my head against the documentation for a couple of days on this while streaming and finally said "It can't be this hard, let me see a video" and you made it so painfully simple.

cool thanks for an update for the input system.
very useful to watch a more relevant one.
but please increase the font size and increase the sound on your next video tutorial.

little tip: you can smooth the turns and shit by using "Vector3.SmoothDamp(rb.velocity, moveVector * moveSpeed, ref velocity, smoothTime);" velocity is a new private variable of type Vector3 and smoothTime can be set to a float value beetween 0 and 1 (0 is rough and 1 is super smooth) !

Thanks so much for making this video, I've just started learning how to use the new Unity Input System and I couldn't properly figure out how to refactor my CharacterMove function to work with the new Event Based Input System. Now it works perfectly 👍

maam your are ginious after half hour of searching in google i finally fined it

[Rat-dujo]

Cool Video It Really Helped Me Out Thanks For Being So Kind To Help Others!

[RustybanjoYT]

Keep it Coming :) thanks for the tutorials! Hope your day is going well!

After trying to understand Input system for over a year, this video alone cleared all my questions

I'd be willing to take a guess at the percentage of the people complaining about how "complicated" this is who have not actually made an actual product. It's almost comical. It's a bit more complicated than the old input system for extremely basic use-cases, but it's also far more flexible and powerful, which actually *simplifies* dealing with complex control schemes, especially if you need to switch between inputs doing different things depending on game state. The old system has extremely rudimentary support for multiple devices, while the new one has much more comprehensive coverage of far more devices. Maybe if you're someone who's made a game and think this is complicated, then I'm not sure I want to experience your product, because if this is too complicated or takes too much time for you to be willing to deal with, then I don't even want to know what hacky shortcuts and spaghetti code you're then likely constructed. I spent a good two years almost on a project that is on the back burner and may never be released, complaining about at most maybe 30 minutes to setup one of the most important systems in your game? Seriously?

The only way I could get it to work was following the steps exactly and changing it from there. Thanks!

Great video, helped me out with new input system
