# On Input System Event Vector 2 node

> [!NOTE]
> The On Input System Event Vector 2 node [!include[nodes-note-package](./snippets/input-system/nodes-note-package.md)]

The On Input System Event Vector 2 node listens for a specific Input Action from a Player Input component. The node can output two values as a Vector 2.

Use this node when you want to read input and return two values, such as a joystick or mouse position.

## Example graph usage 

In the following example, an On Input System Event Vector 2 node uses the bindings assigned to the **Move** Input Action. When a user presses a button from the **Move** binding, Visual Scripting takes the Vector 2 value it receives from the Input System and sends it as an input to the Transform Set Position node's **Value** input port. The Vector 2 value changes the position of the GameObject associated with the **Target** transform.

For this example, **Move** uses the W, A, S, and D keys. The GameObject moves up in the scene when the user presses W, moves down when the user presses S, and moves left or right when the user presses A or D.
