Discover the three main workflows of the Unity Input System in this comprehensive guide designed to demystify its features and make them accessible to everyone. Learn how to use the Input Actions panel for project-wide actions and bindings, leverage the PlayerInput component for callbacks and multiplayer scenarios, and directly read device states for quick prototyping. Plus, explore the use of visualizers and on-screen controls to simplify testing and debugging, making your input handling smoother and more intuitive.
