Player Input Manager: How get the PlayerInput object that was just spawned?

Question

I have my Player Input Manager's Notification Behavior set to "Invoke Unity Events". I assigned a script and method to Player Joined Event, called onPlayerJoined. This event fires when a new input device presses a button, but I need to get that Input Device instance from within the onPlayerJoined method. How do I do this? I tried adding a PlayerInput parameter to the method, but it comes back as null. What am I doing wrong? Or, what is the proper way to add a parameter to this event?

I had a similar problem, setting up the save rebinding, which also references the PlayerInput object.

simply, on your player object

> Add Component > Player Input
plug your PlayerInputActions into the Actions

then set up the reference in your script

    PlayerInput playerInput;
 
  void Start()
     {
         playerInput = GetComponent<PlayerInput>();
     }
 
     void SaveUserRebinds()
     {
         var rebinds = playerInput.actions.SaveBindingOverridesAsJson();
         PlayerPrefs.SetString("rebinds",rebinds);
     }

I think I may have deleted the PlayerInput component after I generated the C# PlayerInputActions Class??
