# New Input System ✨

The project has been fully migrated to the New Input System, it is now a dependency.

This is a step towards future-proofing the asset and eventual controller support.

When installing or updating the Inventory Framework asset, you will be prompted to install the Input System package.

If you are using Unity 6, chances are the package is already installed and you can skip this step.

If Input System is not installed, you can still skip and manually install the latest package version.

If you don’t skip, Unity will prompt you to restart as soon as the dependency is installed to enable the new input backends.

At this point, the Inventory Framework has not yet been imported. Restarting here will force you to start the installation/update process over again.

Instead, you should choose not to restart, finish the import step, then configure the input handling manually.

Go to Edit > Project Settings, then navigate to Player > Other Settings > Configuration, and set Active Input Handling to Input System Package (New) or Both.

Most demos include an Input Actions Asset.

It comes with 2 action maps: Inventory and Player.

As their names suggest, the mappings should be correctly assigned in the Player Input script, for Inventory and Player objects respectively.

The chosen Behavior is Send Messages since it's the easiest to setup. Feel free to use a Behavior that suits your needs.

The InventoryInput script defines methods for each action in the mapping.

The methods publish events on the Store Bus. These events will be picked up and further processed by the Store.

public class InventoryInput : MonoBehaviour {

    Action<CustomEvent> Publish = Store.Bus.Publish;

    public void OnToggleCharacterSheet() => Publish(new ToggleCharacterSheet());
    public void OnToggleInventory() => Publish(new ToggleInventory());
    public void OnCloseInventory() => Publish(new CloseInventory());
    public void OnHotbarUse1() => Publish(new HotbarUse(0));
    public void OnHotbarUse2() => Publish(new HotbarUse(1));
    public void OnHotbarUse3() => Publish(new HotbarUse(2));
    public void OnHotbarUse4() => Publish(new HotbarUse(3));
    public void OnHotbarUse5() => Publish(new HotbarUse(4));

}

The PlayerMovement script defines a method to store the movement InputValue in a local variable.

public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour {
    // ...
    public void OnMove(InputValue value) => movement = value.Get<Vector2>();
    // ...
}
