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.
I KNOW THIS IS OLD, BUT I'M DOING A COLLEGE PROJECT THAT'S DUE IN 2 DAYS, I SWITCHED TO THE NEW INPUT SYSTEM AND HAD 0 IDEA OF HOW TO USE IT AND THOUGHT THAT I WAS GOING TO GO NO SLEEP FOR 2 DAYS TRYING TO LEARN IT BECAUSE I THOUGHT THAT WAS NO WAY OF RETURNING TO THE OLD ONE. I LOVE YOU, CAN I GIVE U A HUG?!
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.
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.
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.
i hate those tutorials that go way too in-depth for a simple problem with a simple solution. Spending an hour writing code that already exists doesnt make you smart.
@@BMoDev Do you end up cutting out a lot of "digressions"? Like if you want to get your video under a certain time, do you usually end up cutting out a lot of what you said in the recordings? So you can be concise and to-the-point with your videos. If so, how much is cut out? Like if it wasn't cut out, would the video be 20 minutes long instead? I ask because I also think you did a good job at packing a lot of info into 10 minutes. And I wish I could do the same :P
@@Andrew90046zero I keep probably 95% of what I record, I just trim whenever theres a long gap between 1 sentence to the next.. Every video I try to get better at doing it in 1 take so I can edit faster haha
@@BMoDev Totally agree with that last bit. I want to be able to make simple and straightforward tutorials about topics that I don't see being talked about too much already on youtube, or add a new perspective to a common topic. But I don't want to overwhelm viewers with extra unnecesary info.
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!
@@FictitiousCtrlGames Sorry for the late reply, for singleplayer I don't see any issues, but for multiplayer I can confirm setting up more than 2 players is a PAIN in the old one.
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.
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!
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!
I have always postponed the task of switching to the new input system for my new and on-going projects, because I was well accustomed to the old ways. Never touch a running system, ey? Well, after watching this, I did change a running system and the transition went smoothly. And after the switch I have been asking myself, why didn't I do it sooner! Thanks mate!
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....
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.
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!
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!
Hey haha, awesome seeing a comment from you! Yeah the input system is kinda wonky honestly and has a learning curve, but gets pretty handy once you figure it out. Same back to you, hope all is well!
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?"
Yeah you're absolutely right, its got a good chunk of overhead pains... but once its setup it can keep your code pretty clean. I still use the old system for most of my projects, but if I was making a commercial game I'd use the new system , personally.
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 !!
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!
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.
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 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
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
Nice Video. What is the reason to add the OnDisable() section for the controls? Most of the videos I've seen just say you only need the OnEnable part and not also the disable. Curious if there's a particular case I haven't run into yet there.
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.
8:56 So I've done this over and over up to this point, and I can't get it to work. I'm getting errors like: 'PlayerMovement.Shot(InputAction.CallbackContext)' is a method, which is not valid in the given context Cannot assign to 'Shot' because it is a 'method group' the type 'PlayerMovement' already contrains a definition for 'Shot' Very few differences (obviously it is called 'Shot' instead of 'fire' for example) I will reply with what my code is after trying to add all of this in.
Can you show this in a multiplayer context? I am trying to make a local multiplayer game and I followed this, when I add another controller/player they both are controlled together even though the input system is saying theres a user 1 and 2.
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.
Great tutorial. I have been trying to recreate and I seem to have everything working except for the portal texture. My portals remain solid colors. At runtime, I have checked that each portal has a "RecursivePortalMask" instance as their material, and the portal camera position appears to be correct. Any ideas what might be the culprit?
You are an absolute lifesaver! I have been looking everywhere for a simple tutorial on this, and all the others were so complicated, and this was easy. Thank you.
In regards to the OnEnable and OnDisable events, you are assigning the action map Player.Move to the variable move inside the event. Could that cause an issue with the on disable event if the enable isn't called? or if enable gets called twice? Just curious because I have no idea.
Using Unity 2021.3, the Input Actions script was not generated properly. The JSON was empty. I could not get it to generate properly until I ticket the Auto-Save in the Input Action window.
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?
I'm a noob still but I think the new system would be better for that case. There are "button press with single modifier" and "button press with two modifiers" options built into bindings. Someone more experienced may be able to chime in and clarify tho.

this is the most convoluted way for the new input system Ive seen from multiple tutorials
That's way more complicated for someone starting out than the old way. A lot of arbitrary boiler plate code
Yeah you're absolutely right, its got a good chunk of overhead pains... but once its setup it can keep your code pretty clean. I still use the old system for most of my projects, but if I was making a commercial game I'd use the new system , personally.
Exactly. I'm creating my first _big_ game and after one sleepless night I decided to stick with the old input system.

this is what I looked for to understand. Thanks bro
Perfect, love your implementation. Thank you.
Wow exceptional video BMO!
Excellent
appreciate it!
Thank you for this, every other video I found made everything seem overly complicated just to detect input.
ok, I have watched multiple input action videos and this is the one I was able to understand
Still the best input system tutorial on youtube
This vid is swag daddy, sheeshhh
Couldn't agree more
This video is amazing, thank you so much!
This is great. Straight forward and what I wanted to see
Woah clicking the subscribed button worked! I’ll be using the generate script version from now on ty
Simple and Brilliant, Loved this video!
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
Thank you, one of the best videos on how to implement the NIS, help me a lot with a homework
I'm in late but that's a great tutorial and I hope you don't stop doing it 😁

Very helpful video :)
How do I make it so that when I click play the Play mode window expands and the console appears in the corner at 9:02 in the video?
ITS REALLY WORKED LOL THANK YOU DUDE
Thank you for sharing this tutorial
Thanks dude this was driving me up the wall
You absolutly safed me
Great video, thanks!
Thank you so much for letting me know to generate csproj file for new input system.
I like the first part most :) thanks
Tysm, did everything as described
Can you explain about the mobile movement. So we can use button in order to move.
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
I like the last part where we keep clicking and subscribe your channel
Thank you for your video. It has been very helpful for me to understand this system ✌
Thanks for that video, tried to fixed a damn menu with it, and it works now XD
Admittedly it uses the advanced programming concepts of delegates and events but nothing a little practice can't fix.
no doubt
This video was really helpful. Thx!
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?
i love u so much !! you helped me end 15 hours stress because of this

Definitely takes some getting used to!
