# DialogueAdvanceInput

Class in [Yarn.Unity](/2.4/api/csharp/yarn.unity.md)

Inherits from `UnityEngine.MonoBehaviour`

## Summary

A component that listens for user input, and uses it to notify a dialogue view that the user wishes to advance to the next step in the dialogue.

```csharp
public class DialogueAdvanceInput : MonoBehaviour
```

## Remarks

This class may be used with the Unity Input System, or the legacy Input Manager. The specific type of input it's looking for is configured via the [continueActionType](/2.4/api/csharp/yarn.unity/yarn.unity.dialogueadvanceinput/yarn.unity.dialogueadvanceinput.continueactiontype-2.md) field.

When the configured input occurs, this component calls the [UserRequestedViewAdvancement()](/2.4/api/csharp/yarn.unity/yarn.unity.dialogueviewbase/yarn.unity.dialogueviewbase.userrequestedviewadvancement.md) method on its [dialogueView](/2.4/api/csharp/yarn.unity/yarn.unity.dialogueadvanceinput/yarn.unity.dialogueadvanceinput.dialogueview.md).
