How To Dash In Unity

[@AkiDevelops]

I wasn't even thinking of adding Dash to my game, but after seeing this tutorial I quickly added it in next to no time. Thanks for the help! :)

[@AkiDevelops]

also u deserve a lot more subs

[@alecraigan4568]

3:41 , come on now no need for that I'm flustered.... your tutorials are amazing and you did a fantastic job explaining the process to us newcomers into the gaming development community!

[@srivikas1834]

This is such an easy way to add Dash. I didn't even want to try using dash but after I saw this video, I was able to implement it into my game in 5 mins. Thank you so much. Wish there was a lot more content from you.

[@chrishoben8270]

Thank you so much! We were using Brackey's tutorial on 2D movement (and his script), but when it came to stuff like Dashing it was almost impossible to implement. Thank you!

[@cornmoss638]

Dude thank you so much, I decided to remove the lines of code that collect the gravity info which makes the player dash straight and also used the box collider I used to see if I am on the ground to determine if I could dash. This allows my dashes to still have gravity effects and to only be performed on the ground, so if the player rolls off the edge they will still fall. Thanks so much mate

[@MugStudios2024]

These simple tutorials have been a lifesaver! THANK YOU!

[@HarleyKitson]

Super useful video! Got it done in no time with no bugs! Really helped me out on my coursework, thanks! :)

[@Aterbrarum]

For a top-down game, to dash towards the mouse pointer I used mousePos = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition); mousePos.z = 0f; rb.velocity = dashingSpeed * Time.deltaTime * new Vector2(mousePos.x - playerUnit.transform.position.x, mousePos.y - playerUnit.transform.position.y).normalized; The rest is pretty much the same. I removed the parts relating to gravity and I had to start the couroutine from FixedUpdate(), not Update(), otherwise I got inconsistent dash speed. Useful tutorial.

[@bendux]

Thank you for sharing! As far as I know, you don't need to multiply by Time.deltaTime if you set the velocity as shown. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's how they do it in the documentation.

[@Khud0]

Woah, I've never seen an IEnumerator used this way before! Oh, all the possibilities this opens! Thank you very much, your short videos are perfect for my procrastination periods. :)

[@progCan]

thanks for the tutorial, i made a more advanced version of it that includes vertical dahsing (both up and down) and diagonal dashing in any direction. i did it by replacing the vector(2) you set the rb.velocity with: new Vector2(Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal"), Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical")) * DashForce

[@bendux]

Thank you for sharing!

[@progCan]

@@bendux you are welcome

[@bastienpetit8124]

Hello, I tested your system but after a vertical dash, the player continues to climb, keeping the momentum of the dash until falling back with gravity. How can I fix this?

[@scorpiusjones5436]

This is pretty aweome. Just throwing this out there, but helping out in the comments section and not on a Discord server can potientally help so many more people down the road imo

[@shamangrayson8143]

Works perfectly! I had done my player turning a little differently so I just made if statements for isFacingRight true or false to dictate the different directions. Thank you so much!

[@pyxelgamer]

You never mess up while typing. It's so smooth that I have the weird feeling that you make an AutoHotkey script or something in advance. Anyways, good video.

[@bendux]

I actually use AutoHotkey to avoid mistakes. Thank you!

[@pyxelgamer]

[@bendux]

[@amaantrieshard]

Thanks so much dude, I'm a complete noob to this and you made it look easy. I appreciate you.

[@SpivSpirit]

Thanks, it helped a lot. I just love how straight to the point it was.

[@kinopiko01]

Thanks for the tutorial. Some of you may have a problem with the dashing as that it only allows you to dash in one direction. To fix this: Change flip's private void to this: private void Flip() { if (isFacingRight && horizontal < 0f || !isFacingRight && horizontal > 0f) { Vector3 localScale = transform.localScale; isFacingRight = !isFacingRight; if(isFacingRight) localScale.x = 1f; else localScale.x = -1f; transform.localScale = localScale; } } And the IEnumenaratorDash to this: private IEnumerator Dash() { canDash = false; isDashing = true; float originalGravity = rb.gravityScale; rb.gravityScale = 0f; rb.velocity = new Vector2(transform.localScale.x * dashingPower, 0f); print(rb.velocity); tr.emitting = true; yield return new WaitForSeconds(dashingTime); tr.emitting = true; rb.gravityScale = originalGravity; isDashing = false; yield return new WaitForSeconds(dashingCooldown); canDash = true; } Hope this helps

[@DeltaReviews420]

if your dashing in the wrong direction try setting IsFacingRight to true in the player movement code, worked for me.

[@YourDoinGoodLad]

[@usamabinmuzaffar692]

Do note one thing though. Constantly starting a coroutine can compound the computation cost of your game. Make sure that you stop the coroutine after it is used.

[@bendux]

In this case, it's not necessary to stop the coroutine manually.

Si quelqu'un a ajouté, comme moi, le wall jump avant ce tutoriel, le "dashing power", pour augmenter la vitesse en dash, n'est pas appliqué. Pour ça, j'ai du ajouter "&& !isDashing" au "FixedUpdate" : if (!isWallJumping && !isDashing) rb.velocity = new Vector2(horizontal * speed, rb.velocity.y); Ainsi les deux fonctionnent !

Hi bendux. First of all, congrat for your effort. I know manage a youtube channel requires time and will, so thank you. I miss something about dashing in your video: usually, dash is used to dodge traps or enemies. How should I do to avoid collisions through the dash moment? If I disable the player collider he can walk through walls.

hmm for some reason I only dash to the right and gravityScale never changes! Edit: I've fixed it since I'm using this flip function:- private void Flip() { facingRight = !facingRight; Vector3 Scaler = transform.localScale; Scaler.x *= -1; transform.localScale = Scaler; } I added:- if(facingRight) rb.velocity = new Vector2(transform.position.x * dashingForce, 0f); if (!facingRight) rb.velocity = new Vector2(-transform.position.x * dashingForce, 0f); so my character will dash depending on facing right or lift variable, the full function would look like this:- private IEnumerator Dash() { isDashAllowed = false; isDashing = true; float originalGravityScale = rb.gravityScale; rb.gravityScale = 0f; if(facingRight) rb.velocity = new Vector2(transform.position.x * dashingForce, 0f); if (!facingRight) rb.velocity = new Vector2(-transform.position.x * dashingForce, 0f); yield return new WaitForSeconds(dashingTime); rb.gravityScale = originalGravityScale; isDashing = false; yield return new WaitForSeconds(dashingCD); isDashAllowed = true; } and for the gravity scale I have no idea why its not changing at all, I'm still debugging. Edit 2: i couldn't figure it out so i had to play around the issue using the dash animation. I had to add keys that change the GravityScale and disables the attacks scripts while dashing and resetting everything at the last keyframe.

Complete beginner here, but I noticed that the player can dash while not moving.
