Thank you for the kind words. I’m glad this helped!

I wanted to say this same thing. It isn't even in the books I have. Thank you.

Thank you, this tutorial took some time to put together

I’m glad this video was able to help

Thank you, havent touched unity in awhile...

Thank you!

Thanks for the positive feedback!

Thank you for the comment, glad to hear it helped

Glad this helped!

Thank you, after sticking with Unity for over a year, I may have to explore other options

That’s a good idea!

Glad this helps!

Glad it was able to help!

Glad this helped!

I appreciate that, thank you. Glad this helped

Thank you! Trying to get better and will have some more game dev videos in the planning. Let me know if you have any ideas

Hahah, happy to help!

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

Thank you, this one is for all my 6 year old brothers out there!

Thank you! This vid took a while, unfortunately Unity is up in flames rn…

@@DmanGames It really is sad what's going on :/

Unreal is tempting

@@DmanGames you who knows more, would say unreal is good for 2D too?

Not great for 2D, but the 3D games you can make are remarkable

Glad this helped! Thank you!

Happy to help! @randomuser

thank you!

No problem! I’m glad this was able to help you

Thank you! With this tutorial I tried to give simple examples and explanations for each feature.

@DmanGames also, my character seems to loose speed when walking long enough, do you might know what's the issue?

nvm figured it out, putting a physics material 2d to the rigidbody with 0.0 friction worked

Glad you were able to figure it out, good job!

Thank you, I appreciate it! Let me know if there are other tutorials I can do

@@DmanGames you should honestly do a tutorial series like a full 3rd person or fps controller with your tips and tricks. Compared to the other unity guys your already a step ahead in teaching capabilities and a series will give you multiple videos to plan and execute 🫡

That’s a great idea, and thank you for the kind words!

Glad this helped!

Glad it was able to help! The visuals I drew up help me understand it better as well.

Does onmove(Vector2 input) work ​@@DmanGames

Yes

@@DmanGames I tried did not work with a character controller

It’s hard to say what is wrong when I can’t look at it, I will be posting an overview video of it later today with more detailed tips

thank you, up next....

Thank you for the nice comment!

Thank you!

Np! Tamjan!

Thank you

Thank you Andrew!

Thank you, glad it helped!

Thank you for the kind words, glad it helped!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Glad it helped!

Glad this helps, let me know what other types of videos you want to see

You can hold to move, just save your input as a vector and in update or fixed update multiply it by a speed and deltatime

Glad this video was able to help! Let me know if you have any Unity related issues I can solve

Thank you, let me know if you want me to tackle any other Unity topics!

Great stuff man, Do a 2.5D platformer? Cant find any good ones on KZfaq. Cheers@@DmanGames

That is an interesting game concept, let me look into it, might make a steam game out of that genre, Brainstorming begins…

You’re a saint

I am the saint. @@DmanGames

Glad this was able to help you

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.

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.

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.

I like it because it is easy to read and more beginner friendly. The code is more effective.

Because it needs to be applied in the update method

Thank you for the kind words! Glad this helped, lmk what other topics you want to see covered

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.

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?

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.

@@DmanGames lol, chatgpt here

Hahaha

I might do one, although all you need to do is set the y axis for the z axis so instead of moving vertical, you move forward

@@DmanGames ok and how can I jump with another key?

Use the spacebar and make it a button

@@DmanGames but my controller doesn't have a spacebar :D i would like to use the square button

If you have a controller you want to use as input 1. go to the input action asset 2. go under your specific jump action 3. Add a key binding to that action 4. Set it to the square button, or which ever one you choose

Is anything else named PlayerActions in your project?

I have the high ground

I tried with public on both PlayerControls and RigidBody and it works. Why is it so?

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.

And make sure you have the player input component on your player

@@DmanGames I restarted unity and visual script and everything works normally. I just assume it is a bug. Love the videos.

Glad you were able to solve it, yea sometimes I encounter weird errors and restarting sometimes works

Go to the input action map, go to the action you want to check whether pressing or not, and the right tab where there is a plus symbol, click it, and select press and release, that way it triggers when you end the click

is there any other way without changing it because i want to ckeck when i press it and when i am not@@DmanGames

The steps above wouldn’t change the logic, and tell me which version you are using, send messages, broadcast, Unity events?

im using send massage and also in the right there are two options with a plus and none of them has a press and release option@@DmanGames

Could you elaborate a bit mote
