I've been working on a top down rpg game with waves of enemies, and your videos are always a nice insight on how some of these mechanics can be done and I always enjoy them!

[@MuddyWolf]

Woo! I'm happy to help! 💪

[@dusklightcreations3951]

You working on 2d top down series is helping me to work on some mechanics for little adventure I hopped into.

[@MuddyWolf]

Awesome! I'd love to see it when you finish it!

[@DragoTheSpider]

for anyone who wants it to follow the cursor just attach this piece of code to a script and attach the scrip to the parent of the weapon no i dont mean the player. Vector3 mousePos = Input.mousePosition; Vector3 screenPoint = Camera.main.WorldToScreenPoint(transform.position); Vector2 offset = new Vector2(mousePos.x - screenPoint.x, mousePos.y - screenPoint.y); float angle = Mathf.Atan2(offset.y, offset.x) * Mathf.Rad2Deg; angle -= 90; // Adjust the angle by 90 degrees transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, angle);

[@cactistudios8406]

Thanks for making my suggestion so quickly. Very impressive.

[@MuddyWolf]

Hey if you ask, you get it!! Thanks for watching!

[@SkorpionYassine]

Great vid

I have a question, in your demonstration, your sword swings in the direction of your mouse, when I used it, it would swing in the set direction. IS there any fix to this?

[@scoliosis430]

Everything here is perfect, but I have a question, in your demonstration, your sword swings in the direction of your mouse, when I used it, it would swing in the set direction. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong please?

[@ginocarlo7724]

Same thing here

[@AquaTwist_]

Unfortunately since my game doesn't use the mouse I had to create a Blend Tree to properly rotate the animation depending on the direction the player is facing, like how you would with a Walking blend tree. Great video regardless, it was very helpful! :)

[@genius4426]

Hi! This is actually a request from your previous bow combat tutorial but I’m posting it here to make sure you see it! So I really need some help, I’m struggling to make it so that instead of the bow and arrow shooting at the direction of your mouse, it shoots *depending on the arrow key you press.* So that means pressing the up arrow key would make it to shoot up, the down arrow key would make it shoot down, Left arrow key would shoot it left and etc. *_Of course you’d have to consider making the bow rotate before the arrow shoots too._* Please would you be able to help me with the code for this? I’m very new to unity and I’ve been stuck doing this for days now

Hi, i have a problem with the sword animations when i attack it only goes halfway the animation

I loved the video, hello friend, can you guide me with something, I'm making a combo of attacks from a 2d game but the character has 8 directions and in each direction it has an animation that I want to turn into a combo of attacks when clicking release several attacks, you can guide me. I understand that it is with events in the animations. thank you so much

[@jezreelmarkbarrameda8287]

mine can only attack on one side and i dont know how to fix it

[@Space_Masters]

Good video! I noticed the trail looks like it's still zipping back to the start position at the end of the swing. How do you prevent that?

[@MuddyWolf]

Hmm good point, the ideal solution would be to keep the sword at the end of the swing once finished, I'm sure you can set the animation to end and keep the position 🤔 I'll do a Google and write a comment if I find the solution

[@thegamingcuber6262]

I know this is late, but what I did to fix this was end the trail effect 1 frame before I stopped moving the sword in the animation.

[@XulinBr]

BRO HOW THE SWORD IS GOING WITH YOUR MOUSE POSITION

[@yume3879]

niceeeeee

[@PatientRock]

Good video, but you left out the part where the sword attack changes direction with the mouse.

[@aryan6201]

how do you fix this?

[@dusklightcreations3951]

So have you consider to to work on in game shop system,like having npc to trade with or something similar.

[@MuddyWolf]

Hell yeah! Do you mean like a Minecraft style trade?

[@dusklightcreations3951]

@@MuddyWolf yeah, could think of like that

[@gececiyim87]

hello, when I click the mouse, the sword swings from the same place. So it doesn't shake in the direction of the mouse. What is the reason?

[@csongorbalassa5724]

I am having the exact same problem right now, did you manage to solve it? Or anyone?

[@moronji4755]

I am also having the same problem did you figure out how to fix it?

[@Basil13ful]

same probleme here

[@ginocarlo7724]

same here

[@yume3879]

for the sword to swing in the mouse position mousePos = cam.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition); float angle = Mathf.Atan2(mousePos.y-transform.position.y, mousePos.x-transform.position.x) * Mathf.Rad2Deg - 90f; transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, 0,angle); add this to playerinput

[@obi_ladd1405]

this also rotates the player.

[@outhander3941]

this is an interesting idea but should framerate fall and you won't hit anyone

[@syfenw6586]

how can i make it so i get to next level when all enemies are killed

[@alecoppeac]

make 2 int variables: "killcount" and "necessaryKillcount", set the first to 0 and the second to the number of enemies. Increase "killcount" by +1 on any enemy death. On update check if necessaryKillcount=killcount and if it does load the next scene

[@ITSADREX]

idk what to do mine is only swinging once and that's it, i have to restart the game but it still does the same thing

[@Timo-gj5qq]

I have the same problem...
