"UnityEngine.Experimental.Input" namespace not appearing in Visual Studio 2017

I tried using Unity's new Input System today, but when trying to type "using UnityEngine.Experimental.Input," "Input" didn't exist in that namespace. I thought it may have been the update of Unity I was using, as it was the not the latest version, but even after that I was not able to use the "Input" namespace. I then tried looking on the Unity API website for help, but the namespace hasn't been added to it yet.

This is what my code looks like, barely even started yet:

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4. using UnityEngine.Experimental.Input; // "Input" doesn't exist in the "UnityEngine.Experimental" namespace
5.  
6. public class Player : MonoBehaviour
7. {
8.  
9.     [SerializeField] private Controls _controls;
10.  
11.     void OnEnable()
12.     {
13.        
14.     }
15.  
16. }

The Controls class created by the Input System exists, but it's also having the same problems as my own class...

Code (CSharp):

1. using System;
2. using System.Collections;
3. using System.Collections.Generic;
4. using UnityEngine;
5. using UnityEngine.InputSystem; // "InputSystem" doesn't exist under the "UnityEngine" namespace
6. using UnityEngine.InputSystem.Utilities; // "InputSystem" doesn't exist under the "UnityEngine" namespace
7.  
8. public class Controls : IInputActionCollection... // code goes on from here, lots of errors

I've seen other people's tutorials on YouTube on how to use the Input System, and they can use the "Input" namespace just fine. Howcome I'm not able to?

 

I'm facing the same issue.

 

For the first script, use UnityEngine.InputManager in place of UnityEngine.Experimental.Input. As for the second script, I'm not so sure.

 

I have the same issue. using UnityEngine.InputManager does not work either

 

Have you imported the Input System package from Unity's Package Manager?

Spoiler: Input System selected in Package Manager

 

Yes, i`m imported the Input System, but this bug is not disappear.

 

I am facing the exact same problem and cannot find a solution anywhere. Has anyone found a solution? Thanks for the help, very much appreciated.

 

+1, have the same issue

"using UnityEngine.Experimental.Input;" -- the input has not been recognized.

it looks like, that instead it need to be used:

"using UnityEngine.InputSystem;"

 

I had this problem as well with Version 1.0.0 of InputSystem. My controller script was unable to find the "UnityEngine.InputSystem" namespace unless it was at the highest level of the Assets folder (I.e. Assets/PlayerController.cs). If I placed the controller into a folder, the namespace would not longer be visible. The only fix I know of is to keep your controller script at the highest level of the Assets folder.

 

If you are working with assemblies (files with extension .asmdef), be sure that you include in the asmdef file, in Assembly Definition References, the reference to the required assembly (in this case, Unity.InputSystem)

 

Restart Unity and your code editor. That's what worked for me

 

Getting the same in 2020.2.3f1
First try with the new input system and it only works if the scripts are in the root folder.
I did install the package, I did restart many times.

Uninstalling. Seems it's not ready for production yet.
