How To Fix Unity Error: You are trying to read input using UnityEngine.Input...

In this video I'll quickly show you how to fix the following error:
InvalidOperationException: You are trying to read input using the UnityEngine.Input class, but you have switched active Input handling to Input System package in Player Settings.

This happens sometimes when you import the new input system. You simply have to click a button on your EventSystem to change it to the new ui inputs.

If you don't have an EventSystem or the error stays, make sure you don't use the old input system in your code ( like Input.GetKeyDown )
Also someone suggested this fix: Go to Project Settings - Player - Other and then set the Input from [New] to [Old]

Honestly, I thought this is gonna be one of the low quality and time-wasting vidoes on YT, but turned out to be the most efficient and straightforward help I could get

Okay, wow. That was way less confusing than I thought. Great video. Short and to the point.

[LyrelGaming]

Short, concise, to the point, and actually fixed it!

Watched another video about how to handle it. They suggested enabling both input systems from player settings but your explanation is the correct one! Thanks!

Alright!
So if you dont have an event listener theres a diff fix:
Go to Project Settings->Player->Other and then set the Input from [New] to [Old] and if that doesnt work, to BOTH.

This worked for me. ❤🎉

You know those little "watch next" panels that overlay on YouTube video towards the end of the video, on your video @20second one of those overlays appear in the top left quarter of the video - fully obscuring the tip you're trying to show!

It still does that when clicking inside a text input field

[Zemtor]

I still get this goddamn error everything goes wrong for me if it can in Unity

[thatguyiscool]

I never ever seen event system in my life, i never used any package, but yet i still get this. i checked for the package and it wasn't installed so idk what is going on.

[proxyways]

[paulkruger]
