InputAxisActivator - CodingDino/Dino-Unity-Toolkit GitHub Wiki

The InputAxisActivator component triggers an action whenever a specified input axis is used. Input axis are two linked inputs, such as two keys (a-d and w-s or the arrow keys), opposite values on a D-Pad, thumb-sticks, or a pair of shoulder triggers on a gamepad. They are used to control things like character movement - anything that has a positive and negative side. They can be set up in Unity's InputManager.

This is an Activator component, and does nothing on its own, instead triggering a linked Action component. Actions, Activators, and Data make up the core system for the Dino Unity Toolkit.
