Easy 2D Melee Combo System in Unity: Tutorial

Ever wanted an Easy solution at coding a 2D Melee Combo System inside the Unity Game Engine?
Correctly coding it can be frustrating: the majority of solutions you'll think of or find on the internet will be either overly complicated or not even work.
No worries! WIth this tutorial you'll be able to code your own 2d melee combo system in unity with:
- No Timers needed
- No Coroutines needed
- Just few lines of code
SPECIAL THANKS TO "GAMES BY SAUL" for helping me think about the logic of combo systems :)

[@scobro]

does this script spawn in the attack box that would allow the player to do damage to the enemies in a game?

[@AlexBlackfrost]

Interesting implementation, great video! Did you consider using animation events to set time windows where you can receive combo inputs? If so, did you find any downside?

[@chosenplay6896]

I tried to do that before coming up with this method. I found it to be overly complex and convoluted and also not working a lot of times. Mainly due to animation freezing up and game breaking (mainly due to button mashing).

[@AlexBlackfrost]

@@chosenplay6896 That's some valuable information. Thanks for your fast answer!

[@freiaz494]

I found that problem too, and that's why I´m here... LOL

[@PekoXXL]

so in short, what we have to do is that we just have to let the attack animation end after each button input, therefore no timing would be required. and if we press the input again mid animation, the attack will chain. did i get that right? im new and still trying to learn

[@KingAhmed]

I would like to make my character transform into different shapes before jumping or running is there a way to make this possible

[@chosenplay6896]

Well... if you're talking animatino wise you need to create the transform animation and then fire it before everything inside the game editor.. but from the question I guess you don't really know how Unity works as a game engine.. so may I suggest you take a course or something to learn how unity works first of all? :) I do not have such a course sadly.. but I can give suggestions about good ones if you want.

[@erosjagatpulagana6403]

That's actually quite interesting approach. But is there a downside that we should aware of when apply the combo without the timer rather than using timer ?

[@chosenplay6896]

If I understand your point correctly you'd like to know when to use this method or when to use a timer for a combo. I'd say the answer is, as it is for a lot of different things related to coding: "it depends on your needs". For basic combo attacks I see absolutly no need to use timers most of the times BUT perhaps you want to have a "delayed" attack that can only be done if the button is pressed some seconds after the first attack.. in that case you would probably want to use a timer. Did this help? If I didn't understand you point correctly please feel free to explain it better :)

Since canReceiveInput is never initialized as true, you cannot check inputReceived, and the whole process never starts.

The combo works but after a few punches the canReceiveInput bool is permanently set to false and because of that nothing happens afterwards

[@chosenplay6896]

Definitly something wrong in your implementation.. sadly not having the project myself I can't tell what exactly :(

[@konicivamehmet841]

Same here can you solved ?

[@konicivamehmet841]

I solved write your button code canreceiveinput = true;

[@christhedevYT]

For me it was a diffefent error

[@christhedevYT]

I removed the else return 0 and it worked

[@ty-xq7bl]

how well does this work with 3d?

[@chosenplay6896]

No idea, I don't do 3d :( You can try and let everyone know ^^

[@SAHILPathan-bp5sv]

please make a full game Your tutorial is very easy

[@chosenplay6896]

I'm currently working on assets for a full tutorial serie on basic game creation :)

[@MertAliBarlas]

Hello mate, in my character, I'm using rig animations and there is some bugs. I will send you a video on discord server can you have a look ?

[@chosenplay6896]

You can send it to me on discord in a private chat if you want and I'll definitly take a look at it. You should know tho that I've never used tig animations up until now.. always go with frame by frame art.. so don't be mad if I can't help. Also... if you want you can also send a project package via mail no p0roblem so I can look at it directly inside unity and report back :)

[@MertAliBarlas]

@@chosenplay6896 hmm thats a better idea :) I'll send you via email

It dont lets me write using unity engine. InputSystem

[@chosenplay6896]

Sorry for the late reply. Made an improved version of this that might help you out.. also you can check out the tutorials I made about the unity input system and those might help you get a better understanding on how to set the inputsystem up :)

[@swanne22]

Hi. Can you please show us each of your animations individually? You say that you have already created all animations but it will really help if I was able to each of them including the transitions then I could see how they all piece together

[@chosenplay6896]

It's just as I said at the beginning of the video: an animation is made up of many frames. There are the ones that are "charging" the attack that are usually called "anticipation frames" then there is the attack itself and after that there are some frames were the character usually brings the weapon back to idle position. Those last frames are the onest to use :)

[@marvinbarboza1045]

are you using new input system or old? because its not fvcking working

[@roshipanda27]

There is an error in combat manager (4,30)

[@chosenplay6896]

I've just finished a little job I was given. This means that the next days I'll be working on an upgraded version of this tutorial. Soon to be published :)

[@MesaTheAalfa]

Yes do the new input system tutorial please... :

[@chosenplay6896]

I'm currently working on assets for a complete "let's create" serie of videos that'll also have the new Input system :)

[@MesaTheAalfa]

@@chosenplay6896 Can't wait!!

[@Kingrox_]

thanks for the video, it's amazingly easy. new subscriber I only have one problem, when the player presses the attack button many times in a row, it performs 1-2 more attacks (input lag). If someone can solve it, it would help me a lot to know how I do it, thanks in advance. sorry for the terrible English, I speak Spanish.

[@chosenplay6896]

An upgraded tutorial on this will soon be released. I've just finished a job and now I'll be starting to work on it :)

[@Kingrox_]

@@chosenplay6896 thank you very much, your videos have helped me a lot

[@Kingrox_]

In case it works for someone, I managed to solve the input lag by adding a script to the last attack of the combo, and placing an almost imperceptible combo cooldown for the player (0.4)

[@zerobutter4868]

When Finish the tutorial test the game it wasn’t working

[@chosenplay6896]

Definitly something wrong with your implementation.. sadly I can't say more than that tho not having the projhect in front of me :(

[@restushlogic5794]

Thank you. I hope you get rich.

[@chosenplay6896]

Giving my family a decent life would be enough. But thanks :D

[@THEPERFECTDUDE]

make this for enemy

[@chosenplay6896]

It literally chance nothing if not that instead of the Input starting the action you start it with some kind of logic.. like calculating the distance from the player and if distance
