You deserve a million bucks for this video, Unity should be paying you, this is great! Precise explanation, great attitude, funny and relatable little mistakes added in at the end, not overwhelming or boring at all, thorough enough while leaving space for exploration on my own, and just, such a likeable personality! This video is awesome, and you seem awesome as well. Keep bringing us videos, and keep being you.

As someone pointed out before, this is the first information source I've found that explains the whole process in sufficient detail. I've been stuck for days trying to add two new animations you can activate per button presses to a 3rd person starter asset character. Thanks for the vid.

That is very indeepth tutorial. Keep on good work, it really is amazing.

Using C# events instead of everything else may come in handy when you have more than one hero character or different hero controllers may implement only a subset of available abilities (or when you have a mind control kind of spell which allows you to take over random enemies). In this case, recreating the event handling scheme can be tedious, hence the code only solution.

@DmanGames

Good point, I didn’t really touch up on the C# events, might have to make a follow up video.

I've been hesitating to switch from the legacy input system because everytime I've seen the new one explained it seems so convoluted and like just a major headache to setup. This video is the first time I've understood why anyone likes it, and I'll definitely be making the switch on my next project now. Thanks for this.

I actually was using the old input system because when learning Unity a year and a half ago somehow I came across tutorials for the old one and not the new one... When it came to getting to coding rebindable keys it was clear it wasn't going to be as easy as other engines I've experienced and found that apparently there was a new input system this whole time that evaded me, lol. So many tutorials on the new system have been bad for me as they seem to only really focus on the standard 4 way axis of moving a square around instead of simply "press a button and function runs" and they somehow end up getting ridiculously complicated for such a simple task, especially considering how easy the old system is. Your tutorial was by far the most indepth and actually easiest one to follow, thanks!

How would you use the Player Input component to move left and right continuously while holding the keys? I can only keep moving if I repeatedly tap the key with your method. I ended up applying the input vector with Addforce in Update but there has to be a better way to do it right?

@DmanGames

9 ай бұрын

Gathering the data from the method/event, then applying the new data in the update method isn’t a bad way to do it, in fact it’s probably the most common way.

@dgepho

9 ай бұрын

Thanks for the video, Dman. Really thorough guide. I learned a lot. I hope it's okay if I mention how I resolved that issue. Here's how I did it (I'm new to Unity, so take it with a grain of salt): I kept the Behavior in the Player Input component as Send Messages, and then instead of making a WASD composite in the Input Actions, I made 2 actions for each individual WASD key. So for example, for moving left (A key), I made one action called Left and one action called LeftButtonRelease. For the LeftButtonRelease, I set the Trigger Behavior to Release Only under Interactions(Press). So in the script for the OnLeft() function I assigned a boolean to true, which happened when the A button was pressed, and for the OnLeftButtonRelease function, I made that boolean variable false. Then in the Update function if the variable was true (pressed), it would call my move-left function MoveLeft() {rb.velocity =Vector2.left * moveSpeed.}, and when it was false (released), it wouldn't be called.

@DmanGames

9 ай бұрын

That is another way of doing it, and can lead to a performance boost because you don’t have to run all that code when the bool is false. Good response, the input system can work in a bunch of diff ways.

Thanks so much for the great video. Im getting an error though. When i generate the PlayerControls script, which i named PlayerActions, i get the error CS0523: struct member 'PlayerActions.PlayerActions.m_wrapper' of type 'PlayerActions.PlayerActions' causes a cycle in the struct layout. Any idea what this error might be coming from? Thanks again!

the movement system doesn't work in 3d mode. and no it was not because i have a 2d rigid body in the script or on my player model. And the jumping does work for some reason. but just the forward, backwards and sidewards doesn't work.

Can you make a 3d version?

I got a question. Why is it that when I use "private PlayerControls playerControls;" the script says that "the value is never read" even though I already create void Start with "playerControls" below it. I initially use my own name when creating Input Action but I tried coding new script with same word for word as yours but still face this issue.

If your code is the same as mine then I don’t think the code is the issue. PlayerControls is the action map, so in your project tab try dragging the input action map called PlayerControls onto the PlayerInput slot on your player. Let me know if that still doesn’t fix it.

Arent C# Events 10x times faster than Unity events? For performance thats why people use delegates or c# events.

@DmanGames

10 ай бұрын

That’s a good point, C# events are faster than Unity events. I have never experienced performance draw backs using any of the new input system methods, but if your games performance is not up to standard, definitely do all that you can for optimization such as use C# events instead of Unity events. Good call.

@gregoryfenn1462

10 ай бұрын

Is it really as much as that? I would have though Unity Events are just wrappers and a bit of metadata over C# events behind the scenes?

@DmanGames

10 ай бұрын

That’s a good question, from what I found, the base C# events are faster than the Unity Events. I believe it is basically just wrapping and more data is used for each Unity event in contrast to the basic C# events. I am not too versed in the specific details between each, but the C# events are faster than Unity Events. I have never had to deal with performance issues of using any one of these, so I haven’t had to dive too much into this discussion of performance over types of events. In conclusion, the C# events are faster than the Unity events. However, the performance has never been troublesome for me.

This was all fine and dandy until I tried to get a OnButtonUp replacement, sorry new input system but I won't touch you ever again, I don't even want to add controller support to my games so why would i bother

I dont think it is a good idea to assign callbacks in inspector because 1) It is hard to find for other developers. 2) If the method name changes the reference is lost. 3) It is better to have tons of actions in code than in inspector. 4) Changes in code are more friendly with version control than prefabs and scenes are.
