    Create an empty action asset

    Usually you only need one action assets, assigned as the project-wide actions. The input package provides a convenient way to create a set of useful default actions and assign them as project-wide which is the most common and recommended workflow. In other cases, you might want to start with an empty actions asset, or create more than one actions asset.

    To do this:

    1. Go to Assets > Create > Input Actions from Unity's main menu/

    (or)

    1. Click the project window's Add (+) button.
    2. Select Input Actions from the menu.

    When you create an action asset this way, the new action asset is empty, containing no actions, action maps, or control schemes. You must add and configure new actions to use it. The new action asset is also not assigned as project-wide.
