By reading the value of input actions, we can create more events and methods we want. For example, player movement: Using the “pass through” action type with the control type of vector2, we can create a Up\Dow\Left\Right composite for vector2 movements:

To use the input actions, we need to use them in scripts. Since the input action system is event-based, we will need to understand the concept of delegate. Delegate is a concept that encapsulates methods that allows the programmer to “delegate” methods to a delegate object. The event uses the concept of the delegate to create events that listeners(scripts) can respond to when such events are invoked.

To use the new input system, we need to create a new input action asset from the drop-down menu of the project view: The input action asset has two main parts: action maps and actions(The changes made to the asset need to be saved).

The new input system in Unity is a new system that is more flexible than the old default input system. It allows the creator to map controls and input for different devices. The new input system can be found in the package manager: After installation, a warning may appear:

We have learned the basics of cinemachine and timeline and can now combine them together! I will use the timeline and cinemachine to create a cut animation of a character winning the race(animation here). A runner running through the finish line and limping away. To make the finish line disappear…

Today, we are going to see how to create character animation using a timeline. The basic is the same as we learned before: using the animation track and functions like the ease in/ out to create smooth animation. The track under the animation track is the “override track”. The animation…

Another feature of the timeline is the signal emitter. The signal emitter is similar to the animation event that can call functions. To add a signal emitter, use the right-click menu on track(animation, audio, activation): Or we can use the marker:

There are also other track types: activation, audio, and control track. Activation track: activate and deactivate the object. Audio track: plays the audio. Although the track works without an audio source, we can still assign one if we want to take advantage of the functions provided by the audio source…

Today, we are learning how to make the weird cut between animation clips disappear without changing their position. You may have noticed that in previous articles, there might be a weird cut between clips: That is because the position doesn’t match. The first solution we come up with might be…
