Unity's "NEW" Input System with C# Events

I can't find the manual

Thank you thank you thank you! I've watched hours of videos on the new system and this is the first one that made it all click.

you know things are poorly documented and overly complex when even the guy doing the tutorials struggles with it, I feel like as a unity beginner I am completely fucked lol, like all I want to do is get the value of a controller input to pass in to a variable, thats it.

I love this channel

I still prefer the old one😅

there are no 2D Vector composite in Input system now

Thank our Father in Heaven for you sir!!! FINALLY someone explained the Input System the way UNITY SHOULD HAVE DONE IT!

If you're following this tutorial and can't find yourself a 2d composite
please note that unity input 1.3.0 or above, has wrap up the composite creation
on Movement(green tab) select action type from "button" to> "Value" and underneath controltype to "Vector2"
now when you right click on green tab
it will show up/down/left /right composite which is the same in this video
and you will be needed unity input 1.1.0 or above for key rebinding later on

If you use compiled input assets can you then rebind keys in game?

Thanks for the walkthrough. I was using the C# events as regular events and was getting severe performance issues. I didn't know I had to use farmerInputActions.Disable() on OnDisable() for the new InputSystem. You don't have to do that for each event [e.g. farmerInputActions.Player.Jump.Disable()], just for the input mapping file itself [farmerInputActions.Disable()]. Great video!

WHY does everbody say the new InputSystem is difficult for the simple stuff? Example for the thing mentioned at the start of the video:
if (Keyboard.current.spaceKey.wasPressedThisFrame)) { ... }

This is as simple, and clearer than:
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space) { ... }
because you can treat each of the controls or devices as a stateful Input Action when you get to that point.

It works like that RIGHT out if the box, without even any action maps, player input components, or action assets, which give you great functionality on top.

Same for GamePad.current.leftStick and other axis controls. Way better than the travesty that was the old input manager.

There has been no reason to use the old InputManager for easily over 2 years now, except if you're perhaps maintaining a legacy code base on a (very) old game.

Nice tutorial, but let's be honest, the only benefit of the new system is the ability to create a rebind system and save it easily and that's it.

is your hair blue or is it just very fluorescent

Hey there's new update on the input system for the actions. can you please update.

I have watched 2 other guides on the new input system (I only just upgraded to it) and this is the best tutorial I have come across. Thank you.

I have tried so many different videos the last few days to get the new input player. So thanks and I will be subscribing.

Is it normal for the debugger to show movement value (0.0, 0.0) when nothing is pressed?

so i followed this... and it works how you showed... but how do i actually use it? like, im getting the Debug.Log's in my console, but how to I actually use the Input system? I already have a PlayerController script but its set up with the old input system. How can i get the new input system to use the code Ive already got for my player movement, jump and other inputs

This was very concise and helpful, thank you! I've subscribed on Patreon

Im trying to use the input system to hear if an XR controller's button is pressed and then make my player controller jump via code, but I can't figure out how to execute a void when a button is pressed. I was close using your tutorial but on the farmerInputActions.Player.Movement part, it can't find the Player.

I've been watching videos on the new input system all morning, trying to get a cube move in four directions, everybody jumps right into the c# classes and skips over explaining how the send messages works. I know it's simply writing functions to handle those events, but I'm looking for someone to hand it over to me in a nice short tutorial instead of forcing me to figure out how to get that vector2 and feed it to my rigidbody. Would you be kind and make a quick one please? Most channels don't cater to the absolute beginners fresh from installing unity.

Cant even add the 2d Vector composite- doesnt give me the option...

Upon watching your Key Rebinding I realised from this video I didn't generate my C# script, I was going crazy! I have to say though your videos are super helpful and I am 100% going to be watching more. Thank you :)

So how do I get to use this with an PlayerObject and actually make it move?

Like damn... ive watched 3 tutorals and this one didnt help as well. My player doesnt want to mode using a xbox controller

@onewheelStudio hey im trying to use the new input system for my project and all is going well except one aspect. my swipe detection does not work if im already touching the screen. How can i use the input system to recognize my swiping finger even if its the 2nd or 3rd touch on the screen at that time? Thanks

I'd like to see how to make something like a complex input like mortal kombat special moves for example (down + right + punch)

Just came across your channel and I love your videos. You explain everything properly. Thank you mate. 🖤

I was here to learn already, "I can only help you if you help yourself" didn't need that coach. On to the next one. May your viewers appreciate your attitude because I don't.

My experience with the new input system so far is that it caused the fans to start whirring on my 3900X while producing choppy, erratic movement that just felt lag-tastic.

I see in this video you generated a c# class but then use it to assign values to input assets in the Player script. What would be the benefit of Enabling input actions individually like this vs. just enabling the entire Generated class? Is there a clear distinction between both cases?

The problem with the unity new input system is that they dont know how to make a tutorial like this. Thank you very much sir, bravo!

Unity 2020.3 can now be used with the new Input System, it was recently updated :D

please make more videos about this new system. very interesting! a day ago tryed to make a in-game zoom(by changing fov when right mouse button is held and unzoom when released) but failed and in few lines made it on ols systen)

problem with this implementation : it doesnt use maps, and i'd like to use maps.

Someone please link me to the tutorial done by an Indian,this guy keeps stalling

Can we adapt this to Corgi Engine? Does it take a long time to do?

my input actions require context, unlike in your thumbnail where you can simply += or bind the fucntion to the event. i just copied from the different tutorials, but i dont understand why i cant just bind a function without context

There's no "Add 2D Vector composite" option now. The only options are "positive/negative binding" and "binding with one modifier" and "binding with two modifiers". Currently on Input System 1.2.0 How do I proceed?

UPDATE: It seems having that option was a bug as it shouldn't be available for button actiontypes.
UPDATE 2: If you select "Value" Action Type and "2D Vector" as control type you have the "left/right/up/down Composite"

You explained this perfectly. Thank you so much!

i have no clue what i did wrong, ive gone throught the code a couple of times and i see no errors, but i dont get anything in the console and unity cant find the action map Movement, even though i havent added "movement" anywhere else then in this tutorial

This helped me a bit on the way. I would have found it a lot more useful if you had split the video into two parts, one for a general explanation of the input system and another where you go into more detail about subscribing to c# events. For instance, as of this point I'm still not sure how to subscribe to an action without directly subscribing to the phase through c# events.

Thorough walkthrough of the new input system. I stumbled upon this after fighting for 6 hours through the unity documentation which has dozens of disjointed code snippets, screenshots, and code explanations that culminates into a failure to convey any cohesive usage of their own system. HUGE Thank you for the time and effort you put into this!

Excellent explanation and walkthrough. Thank you for posting this.

I would like to know how to let the player customise the controls. That they can change the shoot button from say X to Y or from Space bar to the Enter key.

Otherwise, an excellent tutorial and presentation style. Clean and concise with solid modelling.

4am, i final got i figured out, thank you sir, im going to bed
