# Supported Input

{% hint style="info" %}
For universal use, set Interaction → Manually Call and Step Start → Manually Call. Now you can bind a step to any type of input that you have implemented yourself, using a [manual call](https://octanta-studio.gitbook.io/automatic-tutorial-maker-for-unity-in-game-tips/usage-guide/advanced-manual-step-calls) from a script.
{% endhint %}

Input is provided for different types of targets: 3D/2D/UI or Any Target (anywhere). Currently, the following types of interactions and input are supported:

\* For the Drag and Drop interaction, two scenarios are possible:

| Project logic                                                                                                                  | In recording                                                                                                                                                  | In playback                                                                                                                                            |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| If, during the movement, the held object becomes non-blocking for raycasts, and the object behind it can be recognized.        | Both the initial and the final object are recognized. The interaction is considered a DragAndDrop.                                                            | The player will need to drag one object onto another.                                                                                                  |
| If, during the movement, the held object does not become transparent for raycasts, and objects behind it cannot be recognized. | Only the initial object is recognized - that it was moved and released. The interaction is considered a Drag; however, it can be set to Drag & Drop manually. | The player will need to drag one object anywhere and release it (while the drag is performed already during the movement phase, even without release). |

## Check Object

The Check Object validation can be performed as follows:

* **Check Object = By Tag.** Specify the Compare Tag as a string. Then the trigger selected above will only activate on objects with that tag.
* **Check Object = By Layer.** Specify the Compare Layer as int index. Then the trigger selected above will only activate on objects with that layer.
* **Check Object = By Type.** Specify the Compare Type: 3D/2D/UI. Then the trigger selected above will only activate on objects with that type.
* **Check Object = By Name.** Specify the Compare Name. Then the trigger selected above will only activate on objects with name containing that part.
* **Check Object = By Component.** Specify the Compare Component: from the list of custom components created in the project (not built-in, user-defined). Then the trigger selected above will only activate on objects with that component.

{% columns %}
{% column width="50%" %}

* **Check Object = By ComponentValue.** Specify the Compare Component & it\`s Value to compare with target value. So the trigger will only activate on objects with that component and required value. The selection can be made from scripts manually created in the project.\
  **Supported variable types:** Bool, Int, Float, String, Enum.\
  **Available comparison operators:** Equals (==), NotEquals (!=), GreaterThan (>), LessThan (<), GreaterOrEqual (>=), LessOrEqual (<=), Contains (string.Contains), StartsWith (string.StartsWith), EndsWith (string.EndsWith).

## Old and New Input System

Starting from version ATM 3.0.1, when the TutorialSystem prefab is added to the scene, the Input Controller automatically adjusts to match the Input System in the project, edits or removes the child backup EventSystem if it already exists in the scene. However, manual correction may still be required.

By default, the system is set up for the Old Input Manager. To fully switch to the New one, follow these steps:

* Open Edit → Project Settings → Player → Configuration, and set Active Input Handling to New if is not already selected.
* Install the Input System Unity package if it is not already installed.
* Set EventSystem to InputSystemUIInputModule if it is not already used.
* Set inputSystemType to New in the InputController component.
