The Eventsystem supports a number of events, and they can be customised further in user custom user written InputModules.
The events that are supported by the StandaloneInputModule and TouchInputModule are provided by interface and can be implemented on a MonoBehaviour by implementing the interface. If you have a valid EventSystem configured the events will be called at the correct time.
