Summary

Unity's Input System Package offers improvements in setting up, configuring, and handling player input in a more efficient way. With the Input System Package installed, you are able to script player movement by easily taking advantage of the specific commands needed to get your input devices working. In order to give the player movement along the ground plane, and to take advantage of physics properties from the player’s Rigidbody component, you will need to write a C# script.
