Attacking Enemies (with Animation and Cooldown): Action RPG in Unity Tutorial #12

[@Kveg-y6k]

Hey guy having the videos be only like 10 minutes long makes this way more manageable and I am not overwhelmed by the endless sea of game dev knowledge there is to learn out there. As a beginner, thank you so much for this.

[@NightRunStudio]

Thanks for that! It’s so good to hear that the videos are finding an audience who appreciate their format. Good luck with your project!

Nice video! After another break from the game, I decided to restart, but this time with a more roguelike take, instead of the open world / dungeon idea based on The Legend of Zelda! (Totally did not accidentally delete all the scripts or anything.) Don't worry, I was probably going to restart anyways lol.

[@NightRunStudio]

Starting over can be a good way to learn-so long as you eventually stick with it! I totally understand what that’s like! I’m planning to get back to regularly weekly releases in the series again. So, another vid is on the way later this week!

[@Mccev_Roric]

Nice!

Hey I´m midway into this series and I noticed, that if I turn my character, so that he does not face the enemy, I can still damage him and I dont really know what causes this. Great series tho ^^

[@NightRunStudio]

Most likely, this issue has to do with your enemy's detection trigger for chasing the player. Because it's attached to the enemy, the player thinks that it's in range of the enemy when it's actually only in range of the enemy's chase trigger (I hope that makes sense). Fortunately, it's easy to fix. You would just need to place this: if (enemies[0].isTrigger) { return; } immediately after the line: if (enemies.Length > 0) In the DealDamage() method. That way, it wont mistake the trigger for the enemy itself. Instead, when you detect the trigger it will realize it's not the enemy and return (ie., not execute the rest of the method). Hope that helps!

[@appleanime7003]

@@NightRunStudio so it looks like this now : if (enemies.Length > 0) { if (enemies[0].isTrigger) { return; } enemies[0].GetComponent().ChangeHealth(-damage); enemies[0].GetComponent().Knockback(transform, knockbackForce, knockbackTime, stunTime); } but now i can only attack the enemy at a certain place on my map, which makes no sense xd

[@NightRunStudio]

@@appleanime7003 Hmmn... that sounds like something deeper might be going on. So... if the enemy follows you and you attack it up close, it's only working in one part of you map, but not everywhere? That makes me wonder if you aren't detecting the colliders or layers properly. I would try adding a debug under if(enemies.Length >0) Debug.Log(enemies[0].gameObject.name); That should let you know what gameobject your code things you are hitting. I would also double check that your colliders are behaving properly (ie., pause the game during play test, and make sure the enemy's colliders look right), and that the enemy is on the correct layer. I hope that points you in the right direciton.

[@appleanime7003]

@@NightRunStudioIt debugs that I certainly do hit the enemy and all the colliders seem to be correct, as well as the layers. Anyway thank for trying to help :D
