[@ellikoliniati]

Such a great amount of useful information in these devlog and livestreams. A lot of notes taken and some really good content to keep looking back to in the future. Can't wait to see how many new games are going to be created thanks to these!

[@ТимофійСіробаба]

Thank you unity community. I learn more and more with you

[@r1pfake521]

Im happy to see that Unity finally makes their first full game (and not just small tutorial projects). I really think it will help them to improve their own engine, because they will use it in a different way and will notice things that can be improved. It will also help the community, because it's open source and everyone can learn.

Terrific video! The new input system is super powerful, love to see more content about it. - Matt

[@ggalsorunning3762]

Making a action game. The MenuSelectionHandler is super insightful! Hope to see more features like input buffer (delay trigger until current action can be cancelled) or sequence key

[@CiroContinisio]

That's a whole world... like combos in fighting games? Ooof... there's an art to that! (and plenty of Asset Store assets which implement it) But yes, we are looking into it as something to integrate into the Input System package. Not a n.1 priority for now though, as far as I know.

[@megatronusv2215]

MenuInputHandler just saved me a few hours of code. Thanks!

[@Steveplays28]

Very awesome as always :)

[@AurelianoShowsTheWorld]

Very good video, thank you!

New input system is looking good!

[@TNTCProject]

Awesome!

[@broganking9830]

Wow, this video is amazing. I learned so much about the Input System. I've been doing it all wrong, this workflow is far better! Thank you Unity. Biden is right, we can do anything with you.

[@zt3853]

Great! Thanks for this!

[@Un4GivNX]

Imagine the day unity provides a multiplatform solution for managing inputs players profiles? More games ported on many consoles, more unity games on the market, $$$profit$$$

[@momozaki4453]

Please make more videos about Addressables. Thank you

[@technoverse1384]

I think........ UNITY should be the first priority for every Game Developer.

[@Brandon_Gui123]

Hello! May I know what are your opinions on getting input via `InputActionReference` class (you can find them by expanding the `InputActionAsset` asset by clicking on the arrow to see them) and what are the pros and cons of using them compared to making a wrapper class? I noticed that `InputActionReference` can be dragged and dropped, and we can access the action by using the `action` property.

[@CockroachSlidy]

They are better. Generated C# classes tend to break the whole project after minor changes in input actions. I think the best approach would be to use SO wrappers with InputActionReferences in them. I don't recommend using references directly in you scripts though. If you delete any input action then you'll get null pointer errors in some of your prefabs. And there is no way to know what is broken until your game crashed.

[@CiroContinisio]

@@CockroachSlidy as you explained here (all is correct!) both sides have pros and cons. So yes, (Brandon_Gui), InputActionReferences would be easier maybe, but as said here it might lead to missing references that could be hard to spot if you delete and recreate an InputActionReference. With Generated C# class, if you remove or rename an Action, you are warned immediately by compilation errors. Compilation errors might sound bad, but they are a good tool to trace where things need to be fixed!

[@Brandon_Gui123]

@@CockroachSlidy Got it! Thank you for your opinion!

[@Brandon_Gui123]

@@CiroContinisio Thank you for your opinion! It’s always good to hear both sides to the solution.

[@holmbergen]

Any difference between using context.performed VS context.phase == InputActionPhase.Performed ? I've been using context.performed since I started tinkering with the InputSystem, didn't know about the context.phase value.

[@CiroContinisio]

It should be the same. Using context.performed allows you to listen directly to that specific phase, which simplifies the code a little. We could use it too, for plenty of our actions. Tapping into the more generic action, and then reading the phase once the callback is called is what we do for the jump (shown at 4:32) which is useful for us in this case. Your choice!

[@zhivkoaleksandrov3277]

Hello! Can you export the control scheme from one project to another? I haven't tried the new input system yet(I was turned off by the weird syntax when I first saw it), but based on this video it looks very promising. Being able to easily transfer complex input settings is very important for fast iteration.

[@ZoidbergForPresident]

Again, too much info in too little time. :( I miss the more usable tutorials so much. I'm researching into writing a tool that generates a rebind screen but I'm stuck at the reading input actions part: should I use the InputAsset itself of the generated class? And if I use the class how do I make it usable as a tool?

[@CiroContinisio]

We're still posting a lot of more step-by-step tutorials, but these devlogs are meant to be quick and high-level. We have a couple of tutorials on the input system that are more slow-paced. I'll skip the basics, but here's one more advanced: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rneVq4iFm7WsnZo
