Listen for the Input System's Action events via C#

This tutorial was created with Unity version 2019.2.

In certain scenarios it may be beneficial to listen for Input System Action callbacks via C#, rather than using the built in Player Input component. This tutorial will walk through writing an InputManager script to listen for and route such events.
