Supported Events
The Event SystemA way of sending events to objects in the application based on input, be it keyboard, mouse, touch, or custom input. The Event System consists of a few components that work together to send events. More info
See in Glossary supports a number of events, and they can be customised further in user custom user written Input Modules.
The events that are supported by the Standalone Input Module and Touch Input Module are provided by interface and can be implemented on a MonoBehaviour by implementing the interface. If you have a valid Event System configured the events will be called at the correct time.
