how can I pass inputs via tcp to control the movement of an object in unity

I am passing four instructions for the movement of a car via a TCP server. The Matlab is sending the control inputs as "left", "right", "front" and "back". If the word "left"/ "right" is passing from Matlab to unity, I want to move a car in the left/right direction. so, it should be treated as input.getaxis("horizontal").
In the words "front"/ "back" are passed by Matlab, the car should move in the forward/backward direction. So, it should be treated as input.getaxis("vertical").

 

Basically you can't set input system states from scripts, only read. You need to implement your own CustomInput.GetAxis for that or simulate actual device input for application using platform api.

 

Don't use the input system on the server side for this.
