I spent the last 3 days watching different hour-long tutorials that went incredibly in-depth and had me writing 30-ish lines of code, and here you were the whole time with "Unity already does this for you." Thank you.

1:48 Correction: you can use either one or both input systems (old and new) together if you want to. To choose from which input system to use, go to Edit -> Project Settings -> Player -> Other settings -> Configuration -> Active Input Handling. From the drop-down, either select new or old or both.

As far as I can tell, this is the best input system tutorial on the internet. I can't tell you how many videos I've watched, and how many guides I've read, and I didn't know about the "Create Actions" button OR the Generate C# class checkbox. Thank you so much for this video.

Lmao I never knew people could actually make short bite-sized tutorials and still have so much value. Jeez man, you raised my standards. Keep it up!

Migrating from the old system was a many days gaddamn nightmare! So. Just pay clear attention, follow the instructions and even rewind, you can then experiment with other settings gradually. Don't confuse yourself with other tutorials, despite the quicker diction, this is the best of the best starting point for newbies with this new beast. Many thanks to the author!

Using Unities Input System Method #1: 1:13 --- 6:09 Using Unities Input System Method #2: 6:09 --- 9:31 This is for the people that already watch the video but need to go back to one of the methods. If you need more context, then just watch the full video.

That's way more complicated for someone starting out than the old way. A lot of arbitrary boiler plate code

Just wanted to agree that this is the most concise and impactful video I've seen on this. Watched 6 or 7 others and even if they were 30m+ long they didn't provide as much true value as this one. Really solid work.

Finally someone who doesn't take 45min out my day to learn this, nice and simple. Thank yoU!

I watched and read at least 3 or 4 different tutorials on the new Input System, even Brackeys video. Yours explained it the best, as well as giving many other different ways of going about it. You kept it simple and to the point, Subbed!

Searched for "unity input system". This is first on the list. Thank you and have a good one.

I don't want a simpler way of doing this. I want to use the action maps. Why isn't there a normal tutorial that does this. Everyone always the easiest path of least resistance tutorials without teaching us how to actually use the tools given.

You explained this way way way better and simpler than Unity's own tutorial and documentation. Unity says that there is now way to 1:1 implement reading axis like with the old input system, having you require to use callback when triggering the input action event. But you clearly show that there is a 1:1 solution....

In my opinion, one of the best things about this tutorial is that you take the time to talk about the little roadblocks like "why can't I see this plugin listed?" or "Why is autocomplete not working for Input in my code editor?"

This is short but in many ways more informative than many tutorials on the subject that go through all types of ways to use them, then explain why not to use them, only to then graze the preferred method. Thank you, this was extremely helpful!

To any newcomer to Unity who simply wants to hook up a gamepad, FORGET this Input System. It's so profoundly convoluted. The "old" input system works great. Just look up the controller mapping for your controller and with a few name changes you can get any controller to work. For example, changing the Joystick axis to "6th" and "7th" did the trick for my gamepad. Wasted so much time earlier this year trying to learn this new input system only to realize that the old one is totally fine.

Would love to see a tutorial from you on a rebinding system for the new input system, this video was a life saver!

Just have to say this has to be one of the best and simplest explanations of the new system, you did the community a great service. I'm now subscribed!

I was having such a hard time with this because of different videos using different techniques and assuming I knew some things I didn't! This video was great, thank you so much!

Great video:) simple, short and easy to understand, well done!

Just came here after being overloaded by info on CodeMonkey's tutorial (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j9CVmMKWmcytc5c.html) You really condensed the tutorial to what I wanted to know: how to access the inputs themselves for a project. CodeMonkey did a nice job going in depth, but at 40 minutes of video and awkwardly complicated segments; I was lost by the end of it and didn't know how to get his workflow to work for my project. Here you were straight to the point, and I applaud you for it.

Smooth ending! Thanks for this awesome content.

Hey Brendan! We went to school together; fancy running into you here! I didn't even know Unity had this new input system until I needed it today, so thank you for the great tutorial! Hope you are well!

I literally started exploring the new system last night and was hoping you'd post something. I feel like I manifested this video with my powerful psychic energy.

This vid is swag daddy, sheeshhh

Admittedly it uses the advanced programming concepts of delegates and events but nothing a little practice can't fix.

THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOOOUUU Only person in this jungle of convoluted tutorials that explained it :')

Your video is so helpful and easy to understand. I like how direct you are. Cheers

Idk why, but i think old InputSystem more easier and more effective on writing code

this is the most convoluted way for the new input system Ive seen from multiple tutorials

I'm in late but that's a great tutorial and I hope you don't stop doing it 😁

IS IT GONNA BE CREEPY IF I SAY I LOVE YOU SO MUCH 😭 BECAUSE I WATCHED OTHER PEOPLE AND THEY WERE CONFUSING IS ONLY YOUR WAY THAT WORKED FOR ME THANKS SO MUCH, I REALLY MEAN IT 😭

After watching what I thought was how to use the new system and getting rather upset that everything stopped working, I came across your video and in less than 10 minutes you clarified (simply) the error of my ways. Thanks !!

Thanks man, I used the new input system before, but forgot most of it. It is so hidden (like many useful things in unity) It is really nice to use, well worth it (also Unities own documentation is awful for most things, they could have explained everything in a few paragraphs but instead they are like "download our example lol")

I just wasted 3 days trying to use the new input system. I think it is going the right way but i stumbled on so many problems that i gave up and fallback on the good old reliable Rewired system. For 45$, it took me a day and everything is up and running.

Thanks unity for making something simple far more complicated.

Still the best input system tutorial on youtube

Sheeeesh teach me more pog daddy

Hi, do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior BMo? - - - All hail BMo - - - Great to see another tutorial for the people, well done!

I wish the parts where you "updated" the code were redone so I could understand what was going on. As someone starting fresh, i didn't have this code to "update" ssooooo, it made it harder to follow along than it needed to be. :P

I had to try this new thing called clicking on subscribe button, and it worked

That was great, up until now, all Ive ever seen on the Inputsystem is massive tutors on setting it up, and then when the button press's happen going back to the editor and using the events system, this seems like a much better way to do it, at least for me, I prefer to keep all the coding stuff, in code, not split between the editor and the code.

I spent hours trying to figure this stuff out and your tutorial just does it with a couple of lines

I like the last part where we keep clicking and subscribe your channel

YOU ARE THE BEST!

Thank you! I watched like over 9000 videos and just couldn't figure it out but you made it simple and effective!

Maybe the best tutorial above the imput system, easy to understand, thanks matte, and i have subs the channel because that end line on the video :D

Wow exceptional video BMO! Excellent

Very good tutorial man! Simple and straight to the point! Thank you! Subscribed! 🙂

Thanks, the Input System is much easier to understand now. Just need to work on the gritty details on how to setup and use the Input Actions (dialog)

Thank you for this, every other video I found made everything seem overly complicated just to detect input.

Thanks for sharing. Although you explained it short and understandable manner, new input system is way more complicated and I’m afraid to make transition to new system. Just a simple tip: instead of enabling/disabling, you can make gameobjects to child to other gameobjects so it will be disabled automatically

This video is amazing, thank you so much!

This is great. Straight forward and what I wanted to see

understanding the new unity input system gave me a f*cking stroke, but your video was pretty clear. It just sucks that the new system uses so many lines of code compared to the old one lol

This was really really helpful. Thank you!

Just what I needed to continue, good examples and short thx!

ok, I have watched multiple input action videos and this is the one I was able to understand

Perfect, love your implementation. Thank you.

Woah clicking the subscribed button worked! I’ll be using the generate script version from now on ty

this might be the most frustrating thing ive ever tried to do with unity. luckily i figured it out, despite having the lead buried 10 feet underground. forget using any callbacks like performed, canceled, or whatever. those are completely worthless. all you need in the new input system is ".IsPressed()", ".WasPressedThisFrame()", ".WasReleasedThisFrame()" and of course the ".ReadValue()" function which everyone already knows about

Thank you, one of the best videos on how to implement the NIS, help me a lot with a homework

Thanks for that video, tried to fixed a damn menu with it, and it works now XD

this is what I looked for to understand. Thanks bro

THANK YOU. I added Input System 1.3 and was trying to figure out why the UnityEngine.InputSystem directive wasn't appearing anymore. Unity can be such a pain to work with sometimes.

This is WAYYY better than the one Unity has in their channel! Its very simple and easy to learn!

Thank you very much! This helps a lot!

From the ashes of Brackeys a Pheonix rises. Edit: insta-subscribed

I like the first part most :) thanks

Very helpful video :)

Thanks dude this was driving me up the wall

Simple and Brilliant, Loved this video!

i'm a bit late but that ending is epic XD

Woah, great video mate!

Add Up\Down\Left\Right Composite is what now you are currently doing with a Vector2D

That last tip blew my mind!

I don't get how this is simpler than just using the old input system. I feel like I am insane or something, everyone swears this is better but watching this guide, (and it isn't the guides fault I am sure) but basically you have to go in a totally opposite direction, find the rabbit hole (make a player input component to get a template input action asset) then delete said rabbit hole and congrats your just beginning to believe. Before it was literally one line of code usually tied to a conditional. I get that people say some stuff about how it's great with console games and so on, but I mean this is by NO MEANS straight forward. You got to jump between 2 or 3 scripts, create different components, go to the preferences, set up your assets and then go back to the IDE and then Inspector. Am I missing something here? My brain wasn't ready for this X_X. Maybe I need to get another screen or something.

ITS REALLY WORKED LOL THANK YOU DUDE

First View! First Comment! Love your videos!

Thank you for your video. It has been very helpful for me to understand this system ✌

i subbed because of the clicking joke at the end. that was pretty funny

Do you know why it's telling me, "The type or namespace name 'PlayerInputActions' could not be found," even though I generated the C# class? Generating the class solved this issue for me once before, but, now, it won't, for some reason.

The tutorial is appreciated but I believe neither the generated C# script, nor the window with pre-made actions were properly explained as to their purpose. Furthermore, I still don't really understand what this system does better than the old one.

Is there a way to just work with the interface they provide or you actually have to go in and code it to use it?

if your getting a error check you player controls to make sure its in a 2d vector

Thank you so much for letting me know to generate csproj file for new input system.

i love u so much !! you helped me end 15 hours stress because of this

Noob here. When renaming or changing bindings and actions, be sure to either save or click the auto save button. Over here like... why is this not working.

Perfect instruction video for the new input system. The CTA was also on point you got a sub out of me thanks!

You are highly technical. Very nicely explain. Great! tutorial i found🙂 Thank you!!

Great video, thanks!

Thanks bro you are the only one that I found helpful

Damn... almost forgot to click that subscribe button there...

Also, wanted to say thank you for a to the point, quick tutorial.

You are a GIGACHAD!

what theme are you using? it looks so good to my eyes

finally after 4-5 years

2:30

If I want to make a lot of controls that are like "If X button is held while Y is pressed" and "If Z is pressed but Q is not held" is it better to use the old input system since it lends itself to if statements more naturally? Or should I still aim to use the new system?

much love to your work sir!!! ❤❤❤
