Description

float

Remarks

Note: This API is part of the legacy Input Manager. The recommended best practice is that you don't use this API in new projects. For new projects, use the Input System package. To learn more about input, refer to Input.
The value will be in the range -1...1 for keyboard and joystick input. Since input is not smoothed, keyboard input will always be either -1, 0 or 1. This is useful if you want to do all smoothing of keyboard input processing yourself.
The Input.GetAxis page describes in detail what the 
axisName
for Input.GetAxisRaw means. For example the 
Horizontal
axis is managed by 
Left
and 
Right
, and 
a
and 
d
keys. Other Input Axes can be seen in the 
Edit->Settings->Input
window.

Examples

using UnityEngine;using System.Collections;public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour{    void Update()    {        float speed = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal") * Time.deltaTime;        transform.Rotate(0, speed, 0);    }}
