This is a `Vector3` representing the move input. You can safely use this for something like player movement input but you should sanity check it first. For example, you might want to normalize it. ## AnalogLook `Input.AnalogLook` is generated automatically from controller and mouse input. This represents the view angles. This could be used in something like a first person shooter to represent the eye angles or rotation of a player's object. ## MouseWheel `Input.Mousewheel` is a Vector2 to represent the scroll wheel. This is a Vector2 because many mouses have horizontal and vertical scrolling. ⤶ ## Input Glyphs⤶ Input glyphs are an easy way for users to understand which buttons need to be pressed for actions to occur.⤶ The following code is used to generate one:⤶ `Texture JumpButton = Input.GetGlyph( "jump" );`⤶ ⤶ You can also choose if the glyph is outlined:⤶ `Texture JumpButton = Input.GetGlyph( "jump", true );`⤶ ⤶ Input glyphs are automatically changed based on the player's input method, so it's worth generating them every frame.⤶ ⤶ <upload src="b5486/8dc8bba43cb2d18.png" size="136564" name="sbox-dev_Js6ahz6vYI.png" />
