Character Movement in Unity 3D | New Input System + Root Motion Explained

wow that was one of the best tutorials I've seen. you show us everything AND most importantly -explain why. Thank you very much

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.

[@colorzFX]

Timestamps AND actual explanations? Thank god I found your channel

[@mikedavies4237]

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.

[@drmeatball124]

Had this issue, thought it was my controller failing.. ty!

[@Hoptronics]

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..

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 !!

dude your great .I watched your video when ever i have doubt in player animation, you really deserve a medal .Thank you once again

[@ambiguouscompany]

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

[@denizhacoglu1680]

I'm glad you are back! Keep continue brother.

[@eterlan2538]

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.

[@iHeartGameDev]

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

[@Tiger66261]

[@Jet_Mishemoto]

Dude your tutorials are a saving grace please continue the work you’re doing

[@wesley6442]

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

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?

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...

Thank you! Hope the newer content helps too!

[@Oleg_UE5]

One more great tutorial! Are you planning to make series about IK you mentioned before?

[@icarosh1]

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

[@RehtseStudio]

I like to see how other use the new Input System, well done Nicky👍.

[@blackspear7257]

[@ajithraj1206]

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

[@macleodgordon]

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.

[@andrewwhitton1812]

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

[@oddlytimbotwillison6296]

Nicely done! I've been very eager for a new input system, the old one was so bad for local co-op games.

[@prathameshgaikwad7550]

well if release the button the character stops suddenly, which doesn't seem nice, do you have any idea, how we could smoothly ease in and out between the run, walk and idle.

[@codeFriendlyART]

Plus+Ultra informative! Love your videos man. I did learned quite a lot from it, as with all of your amazing series! I totally feel the negatives are from pure envy, possibly from other content producers wanting to make the stats to look bad most likely because they are afraid of your steady progress and impressive video quality/content. After all, not many can manage to pull out such a huge amount of high quality content in barely 15 minutes... I'm confident Unity Technologies will get to note your series and approach you. Your videos are simply the best organized, well presented, clear and informative Unity videos out there I've seen so far, period. Hope you're having a nice holiday and keep up the great work man! 🔥💪

[@CodeLife_12]

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?

[@iHeartGameDev]

Hey! Try adding the .cancelled callback

[@CodeLife_12]

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.

[@dranora9208]

Hey ! I have an issue with the script, where unity doesn't want to compile the script with this error message : " error CS1061: 'PlayerInput' does not contain a definition for 'CharacterControls' and no accessible extension method 'CharacterControls' accepting a first argument of type 'PlayerInput' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)" 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? Great work btw, I learned so much with your videos!

[@NicholasScotti]

is it possible to do a movement like a car, for example, press w, player goes from 0 to speed variable and if you release w go from speed varible to 0 ?(or for the controller stick slow movement = slow speed, full stick movement = full speed) but not via script
