public class InputManager : MonoBehaviour
{
///...
    // This value shows the currently active input type (UIJoystick, Keyboard, Gamepad)
    public InputType ActiveInput { get => save.ActiveInput; private set => save.ActiveInput = value; }
    
    // This value is used for calculating movement of the player
    public Vector2 MovementValue { get; private set; }
    
    // This event fires every time the input type changes
    // First parameter is the previous input type
    // Second parameter is the new input type
    public event UnityAction<InputType, InputType> onInputChanged;
