At 13:58 you should add another handler: input.CharacterControls.Movement.canceled += ctx => movementPressed = false; If you don't do this then movement will not cancel if the user doesn't guide the stick back into the deadzone (they just release it so it snaps backs to centre). Will save someone 30 minutes trying to find where the bug is.
This comment is Golden when using the keyboard.. I had to put it on everything, aim, shoot, jump I'm still figuring out how I can get what I need outta the input system but.. yeah I'm closer now.. thanks again..

I like how you bring focus to the proper section of the UI by either zooming and blurring background or using the red arrows. Also nice to see a reminder of what was entered in the UI while going over the script.
Thank you for well explained tutorials, you have helped me a lot keep going man, i just want to mention 7:23 guys make sure that you choose pass through ( Action Type ) otherwise the player will keep moving in the idle state i've discovered this problem after 9 hours of digging Lol small advice make sure you have a cup of coffee to avoid these types of mistake xD, Again Thank you so much !!
TNice tutorials is by far, the best tutorial I have found so far. I feel like I’ll be spending a lot of ti on your channel! Thanks man! Keep up the good
Found this by chance but you explained this really well, making it far more understandable than others I have watched. Giving the info really is key for any viewers to learn so this was perfect. Good job, subbed for future stuff!
hey! thanks for your tutorial! Really well understanding and explicitly. I want to make a few suggestions about the code.(might be wrong..) 1. Instead of using if statement in the Update loop, I think using CharacterControls.Movement.cancelled to "SetBool = false" is better for performance. 2. There is no need to decide whether movementPressed is true or false using currentMovement.x != 0 || currentMovement.y != 0, because when the "performed" callback is in response, the button is pressed certainly.
Hey Eterlan! If you find more efficient ways of doing things in the code and everything works, go for the refactor! Code is always open to being optimized and refactored for the better! Love to see it, honestly. Cheers 🍻 -Nicky
Man OG OG I been messing with that Unity input system and no one out here explaining the callback f(x) like you. I been watching all these weird writing event function stuff and it make no sense to me. Been just reference my control scheme states instead of that performed function...still work, now I can pull out them more complex parameters like duration of that button press... Love your tutorials mane
Thank you so much for this informative series, I am terrible with code but am forcing myself to go through the steps and follow along, its really what drives the game so I have to learn some of it haha, for a good while I was fighting with the code and using copilot and chatgpt to figure out why my character kept moving despite letting go of the thumb stick and I figured out it was my controllers sensitivity, it would be above a certain threshold even if I thought it was centered, its not a really old controller but the inputs are apparently a little sensitive
Thanks! Very good and digestive tutorial. Sometimes when I watch tutorials, it feels like I need some discipline to keep watching, but for this, time passed in an instant, it flew so well.
After a series of really great videos, I'm now watching every video you post... which I do with only about 20 creators out of the hundreds of great youtubers on my shortlists. Keep up the great work.
You are great! I've been looking for an explanation of the new input system for a long time and you explain things really well, in a clear and simple way! Thank you!
Dude you're AMAZING! You explain as you show how/where to find it. You show where to find it again with arrows. I could go on lol, but thanks your tutorial are what is was looking for. Thank you!!!
Probably another really great tutorial I'll have to learn later today. Hope your Channel grows big, you put so much effort into it, and they come out as the best tutorials I've seen.
with it in a few weeks or months if I pour enough ti and effort into it. I'll be watcNice tutorialng many more of your videos for tips and inspiration.
Awesome job to you Unicky (Bad pun😅)(Replying to your awesome job to us in the ending). Understood root motion and the new Input system. Excited for the next videos in the series.
The issues: 14:44 when you tap the joystick player X position value is increasing (player is turning right) 16:09 again when you tap the yoystick X is increasing and also Y is decreasing (player is turning right and goes slowly under the plane). How to fix this?
So I did this 5 times now and my character did not move from Idle. Then I checked 'on' the 2 Boolean parameters you created at 2:29, and it worked (albeit, he only walks, doesn't run), yet your character moved, walks, then runs, then walks, then runs.... How is that possible?
For anybody who couldn't access the CharacterControls from the input. You need to place the PlayerInput script in the same location as the script trying to access it.
I don't know if someone already asked, but how do the values get reset after receiving the input? runPressed will always be true after the first input (Run.performed). Same for currentMovement values they will always be 1 as soon as you press they key. I had to use CharacterControls.Movement.canceled in order to stop the motion. Is that the way is supposed to be? My question is how do you recognize a key being held with the new input system when the values do not update every frame? Thanks for the tutorials
Anyone else has an issue where the character keeps moving if the stick is let go too fast? Like if I slowly bring to stick back to (0,0) the character stops as expectet but if I quickly pull my thumb off, the character keeps walking even if I'm not touching the stick anymore. Does somebody have an idea what could be the issue?
If somebody has the same problem and sees this, I found the solution! I added this bit of code : input.CharacterControls.Movement.canceled += ctx => { currentMovement = Vector2.zero; movementPressed = false; }; If I understood correctly, the issue was that the "canceled" event was called before the (0,0) value was registered and so movementPressed wasn't updated. Updating it here fixes that problem.
Hi I want to know on 13:42, when your cursor is on ReadValueAsButton, there's API explanation appears. I want to know how do you do that in VSCode? I moved my cursor to that keyword, and hold Ctrl key, and there's only some syntax statements appear...
So, at 8:05 where you clicked the controller, when I did that, nothing happens, I had to right-click the controller and choose 'Open Device Debug View', only then did I see the activity you show in your video when clicking various controls on the controller. Thought this might help others.
For anyone that experiences movementPressed returning true despite not touching the joystick. Be sure to have a separate callback input.CharacterControls.Movement.canceled+={movementPressed=false} I notice this bug when I flicked my joystick fast and it kept moving even though i was not moving the joystick anymore.
soooo... how does this work with the previous animator tutorial where we used the velocity float to blend and play the animations for walk to run? finding the new input system to be quite confusing
Unsure if this is a bug or not, but I found that using "Value" as an Action Type with my controller causes the PlayerInput to 'stick', even when no value was actively being applied to the Control Type Vector2 of Movement. Switching to Pass-Through resolved this issue.
@@iHeartGameDev By stick, he ment the left analog stick on your controller for the input system. I've also encountered the same issue, since Vector is a float, it doesn't always round back to exactly 0... in the code you written "movementPressed = currentMovement.x != 0 || currentMovement.y != 0;" this causes potential issues since it specifies it to be exactly 0 but floats don't always exactly land at zero One way to solve this is to use Math.Round but that doesn't always work since the analog stick return to the center too fast may not always recognize the vector as (0, 0). Synaptic Studios suggestion fixed this issue by setting it to pass-through from the input system and it worked wonderfully! Your guides have also been amazing Nicky! Very detailed! Hoping to see if you can make a third person shooter in the future!
Thank you for this comment! I just couldn't figure out what was causing this behaviour, didn't even know what to google - this fixed it completely (and thanks to Nhan for describing why it happens)
I've a problem with the joystick..... Whenever I move a joystick (little bit) the speed of the player is slow but when I move joystick farther speed is normal...I'm using 2D rootMotion

Hey !

I have double checked every step of the video but nothing has worked for now. The line causing issues seems to be " input.CharacterControls.Movement.performed += ctx => { currentMovement = ctx.ReadValue(); movementPressed = currentMovement.x != 0 || currentMovement.y != 0; }; " Any idea?
