Player Movement with Unity Input System - Top Down Unity 2D #1

Beginner friendly and full tutorial on Player Movement using Unity's Input System! We'll also set up a default sprite for our player using the asset pack below. And look into serialized fields!

All source code for all videos I have made and will make in the future can be found on my Patreon:

I'll try posting new videos every week, so be sure to subscribe to see what kind of adventure we can go on together! I'm excited! :-)

Great concise tutorial, looking forward to continuing with the series!

Something to keep in mind when using the `Update()` function in unity, is `Time.deltaTime()`. You'll want to multiply by that when moving your player around to keep the experience smooth across multiple systems whose specs may differ and effect the framerate. Really like the format of your videos and your energy. Thanks so much!

Thanks for this video! Im so excited for this top down series 🎉🎉

These are good videos.💖 I have a quick question, i know this video is for 2D top down movement and everything will move on the x and y axis. Do you know how to code for x and z in space, leaving a 2.5d effect?☺

Hello, i followed this tutorial and the movement works awesome in my game, however, when i build the game to test the game out on my pc (with the .exe ) the controls don't work, nothing happens, there's no error in the console or anything, right now i have the same exact code as you at the end of #2 of this video, so i'm not sure what could be the issue, thanks :)

Hello! I love this video so far! I am having trouble though at 5:52, there is no option to press Move :( Do you have any ideas of what I did wrong?

[GiangNguyen-host]

I usually use GetAxisRaw to get instantaneous movement without acceleration or deceleration, does the new input system have an equivalent approach?

[DaniLearnsTo]

I've been looking for some help with the "new" input system, this is great, thank you!

when i type input action it is working but in unity it shoves error (there is no red underline under InputAction)
