separate

Set up player input in Unreal Engine 5 with Enhanced Input: Input Actions, Input Mapping Contexts, modifiers and triggers, adding the mapping context, and binding actions by ETriggerEvent. Use when wiring movement/look/jump input, creating IA_/IMC_ assets, binding in C++ or Blueprints, or when the user mentions Enhanced Input, Input Mapping Context, Input Action, IA_/IMC_, or ETriggerEvent.

When to use

• Use when adding movement/look/jump/fire input, creating Input Action (`IA_`) and Input
• Use when the project has `IA_*`/`IMC_*` assets or references `EnhancedInput`.

When not to use

• engine-agnostic input architecture
• rebinding strategy
• buffering
• multi-device design
• Pawn/Character C++ gameplay logic
