I just wanted to say dont forget to set the speed for the fireball in unity, you may need to select all of the fireballs you made first to change the speed for all of them. I missed that he had already set to 10 at 12:25. I was so lost as to why i couldn't shoot the fireball and after looking REALLY hard i finally realised that is was this simple. Hope this helps.

[@fallenIights]

Same issue

[@k-mashup7187]

Oh my god thanks I love you

[@nakiaj3721]

THANK YOU I was going crazy trying to figure out why I couldn't shoot

[@kieranryan7625]

See I did this and for some reason I can shoot but they don't travel across the screen. They just stay right in front of me. Goes through the whole animation, etc. Just no actual x axis movement. Any thoughts?

[@satoupendragon7329]

@Kieran Ryan My first thought is that one of the methods/functions in your one of the scripts is not getting called, maybe the method has a capital letter. If not that check your other scripts and make sure everything it spelt right. Sorry if this seems patronizing, I only say to check for this as I tripped my self up doing more timnes than I want to admit.

I have to say these tutorials are SO SEXY. Not only is your teaching style super clear, but you also teach good practices - object pooling? Man, I've done so many tutorials that just used instantiate and destroy. So interesting to learn something more efficient. THANK YOU. Really enjoying this series.

[@PandemoniumGameDev]

Thanks a lot! I've used instantiate destroy a lot before but it can really kill your game if you play longer sessions.

[@guilhermekaercher1624]

Dude, you are a legend. Great explanation no BS

[@AnEmortalKid]

For those following this in 2022 and wondering if there's an easier way to do animations, try this: 1. Open the animation window and dock it above , such that you can see the project explorer at the same time. 2. Search for your sprites and multi select all of them 3. Drag the sprites into the recording timeline, they'll all be selectable and split by about a millisecond apart 4. Drag out the animation (all keyframes selected) until they're 5m apart

For those that seem to run into the issue where if you press the attack button the attack animation plays twice, switch GetMouseButton(0) --> GetMouseButtonDown(0) !

[@SimbaChiep]

Thank you! Was struggling with this late at night :)

[@swedcast107]

For everyone having the problem where the fireballs are colliding close to the character, try moving the firepoint up a little bit. Mine was colliding with the ground :D

[@random_precision_software]

That's a mad way of shooting m8. Using the rotate method instead of changing scale(on the player), the fireball just needs to go transform.right ...simple! But we all have our own way of doing things, so fair play.

[@PandemoniumGameDev]

Yeah, it could've been easier for sure, I guess I just got stubborn. Will consider changing it in the future but for now this is it 🙂

Great tutorial! I’m having a slight issue with some of the code because my computer gets mad at me whenever I try to test the game. It keeps telling “the type or namespace name of Animator could not be found” it does this for mono behavior serialize field attribute and serialize field as well. I followed the code to a T, do you know what I could be doing wrong? Thanks!

[@thegameplay4398]

I keep getting this same error: 'playermovement' does not contain a definition for 'canAttack' and no accessible extension method 'canAttack' accepting a first argument of type 'playermovement' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

[@Davieu101]

DASH ABILITY: Hey guys if you want a DASH ability try this. Put in the PlayerMovement script. I'm kinda new to Unity but seems to work great. Be sure to edit the values of the newly made variables in the unity script. Note: Reset Dash Cooldown is what you change for faster or slower cooldowns for the dash. This is what I put for mine in the Unity editor: Dash Speed: 15 Dash Time: 0.3 Reset Dash Cooldown: 3 // These variables go at the top with the others /* ---------------------------- */ // how fast you want to dash public float dashSpeed; // how long you want to dash for public float dashTime; // cooldown for when dash ability is ready. private float dashCooldown; // resets the cooldown to specified time. higher numbers = longer CD public float resetDashCooldown; /* ------------------------------- */ //in the private void Update() {... } put this in there alongside the other code /* ------------------------------- */ // starts the dash cooldown timer dashCooldown -= Time.deltaTime; // stops the timer once the cooldown is ready if (dashCooldown < 0) { dashCooldown = -1; } else { dashCooldown -= Time.deltaTime; } //You can change KeyCode to whatever you like. currently on the NUMPAD 0 "zero" button if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Keypad0)) { if (dashCooldown

[@cihanaltinel1014]

With this code my game crashs and after fixing the crash it still wont work

[@tonyaldrich1564]

If I wanted to add a Dash Animation to this what would be the best way to do it? Like a non-looping animation that lasts as long as the dash?

[@arkanzahrawaani1594]

where did u use the function Deactivate?

[@hush2956]

Hello bro, I want to ask. I want to use 2 main characters in my game for a college project assignment (sprite knight & archer). can I skip the fireball shooting part for sprite knight? and for archer, do I just change the animation part? Btw thanks for the tutorial!

[@mr.noname7058]

ive got a problem, in the transition between idle and attack i cant select attack as a Condition, its just not there and im not sure what i did wrong, i rewatched the video and im still not finding what i did wrong, any idea what i can do to fix it?

[@blz0082]

shift and click on them (example you press shift and click idle and attack) now you can make a transition

[@LRXM4N]

Why aren't my fireballs moving forward? And how can I make the Fire Point we created small like you? I don't have it.

[@Sympho]

@Pandemonium do you have some tutorial for projectile shooting at mouse position? :)

[@nathalieganesh6609]

Hi! Thank you for great Tutorials! I just have one error I keep receiving for this code in the Projectile Script "if(Mathf.Sign(localScaleX) != _direction). It tells me that the floating points can be unequal due to the differing precision of the 2 values. Do you know why this is? I've been following step by step but can't seem to solve it

[@ipsisLiperis]

Did you solved it?

[@GRproductionEnt]

Hey, I'm having trouble getting the fireball animation up and running. I tweaked things as I went along, but after I put the 10 fireballs into the array, they just dont show up anymore. I looked for errors in the code and animations and even changed it to whats in the tutorial verbatim. Still they do not show. Any idea?

[@GimmyGiammy]

Hi, I had a similar issue, and I had accidentally disabled the array holding all the fireballs, whereas you should only disable the fireballs. Hope it helps :)

Hi your videos are very good, been following the past videos however in this one I got a bit stuck on the shooting section. When I shoot the fireball stops at the fire point and explodes when I go near the fireball, any tips on how to fix this. No worries it’s fixed now, I just had to change the speed of the fireball:)

Coooooooool! Working stable

[@Harpic1]

Hey there, I was following the tutorial and there's something wrong with my project. At 3:48 when you go to play mode and press the mouse button, the shooting animation plays, mine doesn't.. I have reviewed the code and animator settings multiple times and cant seem to find the issue :/ maybe its something related to my mouse? If you could give any suggestions on how to solve this it'd be very appreciated! thanks edit: NEVERMID!! I forgot to add the attack script to the player haha

[@Trikazor360]

thank you so much lmao. that shit had me dumbfounded

[@smoothdawg1433]

@Pandemonium Hey so a recent problem came up with me. I'm on number 10 but I noticed that my fireballs will not shoot towards the left when I am facing the left. when i shoot, the animation shows that they still shoot right and they will hit me. I have the exact same code as you in the projectile and the player attack script. Is there something that i've done with the scaling or the position that might be wrong in the editor?

[@smoothdawg1433]

and for some reason I'm not dealing damage to the enemies either. a bunch of weird stuff that has just come up.

[@HeplMeh]

@@smoothdawg1433 I'm having the same issue. Did you ever find a fix for this? I put a "Debug.Log(transform.localScale.x);" on the Attack method and I'm noticing that the localScale.x is always returning as 1 no matter which way I'm facing and I can't wrap my brain around why that is. I'm guessing this is why the Fireball keeps moving to the right regardless which way I'm facing. If I understand the lesson correctly, when facing to the left, that value should return as -1 not 1.

[@devgameidea9658]

hi sir , i have a problem when i do attack shoot but fireballs can't move, note : i set speed > 0 and firePoint is the child of Player

[@moritz8369]

If someone's having trouble with the fireball not exploding on the wall it's probably because the box Collider of the wall needs to be set as trigger in the inspector under "is Trigger" :)

[@PandemoniumGameDev]

No, the wall needs to stay a non trigger otherwise the player can just pass through. The fireballs need to be set as triggers/

[@Nightzo]

My exploding animation wasn't showing up as I accidentally set the Deactivate event at time 0.00 instead of 0.25

[@An-fb6ue]

@@Nightzo You helped me resolved the issue. I just also somehow added an event at 0:00 for Fireball_explore animation. Remove that then the explode shows up.

[@bigsharkslippers4806]

@@Nightzo that is what I had 😂 and ur comment made me look and WOW I had the same bug 😂 🐞

[@soularpowergaming]

Edit: I solved this. The solution was strange. I renamed the private speed variable on the Fireball script to "fireballSpeed" instead using refactor (Ctrl +R twice) and now the speed is properly being set per the serialized field. No other changes. Wondering if there is somehow global Speed variable around that is conflicting with the private variable somehow. Super weird. None of my other 3 scripts have a speed field. My fireballs are coming out facing to the right, unless I turn my character. Then the fireball flips. They also aren't moving. Fireball script is attached to the fireball and has the speed set to 10; it has a box collider 2d and a rigidbody 2d. The fireball spawns. I added print statements and the fireball speed is always 0. Fireball Update method: ``` if (hit) return; print("Speed : " + speed); print("Direction : " + direction); float movementSpeed = speed * Time.deltaTime * direction; transform.Translate(movementSpeed, 0, 0); ``` And SetDirection: ``` public void SetDirection(float _direction) { direction = _direction; gameObject.SetActive(true); hit = false; boxCollider.enabled = true; float localScaleX = transform.localScale.x; if (Mathf.Sign(localScaleX) != _direction) localScaleX = -localScaleX; transform.localScale = new Vector3(localScaleX, transform.localScale.y, transform.localScale.z); } ``` The fireball will deactivate and play the animation if it collides with anything. Unrelated bug is that if the Player walks into their own fireball, I fall through the floor. Interestingly the fireball logs Speed: 10, Direction: 0, so obviously movementSpeed will be 0 regardless. If I click button, I get a Direction of 1 but a Speed of 0 for that update call.

[@Emperos]

@Pandemonium I am desparate. I copied your code and implemented it to make sure I did not had any typo's. My projectile only shoots towards the right even when facing left. The projectile itself works perfectly fine, as well as the animations. It just doesn't shoot towards the left. What can I do?

[@DeoTheDoge]

For some reason when I click to shoot my fireball it doesn’t show up and when I looked at the fireball object it shows just explosion animations playing not even the idle. I did move it far from the character so it doesn’t collide with him immediately in case that’s what you think the problem is it might be an error in my code so I’ll check ur GitHub project and see if mine is the same

[@maenoire2173]

That was a bit too quick for me, I had to pause it a million times and still I skipped setting the speed for the Fireballs and fixing the Attack in the Animator.

​ @TheMatchers A bit late to the party, but what fixed it for me is to go to the "Animation" section of my fireballs (under FireballHolder) and make sure that the "Deactivate" event is set only on the last frame of the Fireball_Explode animation. I had to removed a bunch of random "Deactivates" which I added somehow. Hope this helps someone! :)

Want to thank you for the Tutorials are really great. I have done everything you did code and components. I am having an issue where after lets say 20 sec in game or after firing several projectiles, then my projectiles disappear almost immediately after pressing the fire Button. If i sit next to a Collider i will see the explode animation but i have to sit exactly next to it. It seems like that after the projectile gets active , it gets inactive, and after than none of the other projectiles work. Thank you in advance.

In the SetDirection method make sure to have a lifetime = 0; line. I did that and my problem was instantly fixed. Hope this helps :)

You can definitely still do the shooting but you might get confused by the differences in code. You can just copy the project from episode 3 from GitHub if you don't wanna implement that yourself.

First I want to thank you for your lecture, it was really great. But I'm having a problem, I've reviewed and coded your video 3 times but it still doesn't work so, when I repeatedly left click but only fireballs[0] are created. , and the second fireballs, it reports an inaccessible error because the object has been destroyed. Please help me, thank you.

Great tutorial man... thought about making a discord ? I see people always asking for help in the comments, maybe a server would make this easier

[@PandemoniumGameDev]

we do have a server, people are asking questions there as well. Check out the description link

[@eryslaw5098]

It just takes me to discords official page or the app... doesn't invite me to the actual server :/

Those are super perfect tutorilas thank you!!! I have one question. When i shoot and then again the first bullet is destroyed. Any idea why? I copied your script so there is no error there.

[@Ethan_Myles]

Hi, I'm having a similar issue at the moment, did you figure out why this is happening ? Thanks.

[@Ethan_Myles]

Solved, had to change the size of the box colliders on the bullets.

Hello, i have a slight issue when i fire my fire ball it just teleports in front of me a set distance and doesn't travel there any idea how to fix ty.

[@benjaminborja5029]

How did you wake up objects on the pool? I know that I can do it with .SetActive on true, but just thinking, kind of weird that I didn't see any similar on the code and it works anyway

[@PandemoniumGameDev]

We actually did use SetActive(true) in the projectile script in the SetDirection method.

[@benjaminborja5029]

Lmao didn't notice it, thank you

[@noah6242]

I am having an issue where I get to the end of the video and no fireballs are producing when I click? Not too sure what to do

[@jexalegitimas8555]

thank you

Please help me! When I shoot, all animations hang, but when I shoot the second time, the animations hang

[@TheZooMC]

This tutorial has been the best help ive has with this thank you so much. Im having a problem with my fireballs. when i click, a fireball appears but doesnt move. but when I walk into it. it gets pushed and moves but it doesnt explode on impact. it just stays there.

[@bedizzy2373]

Same problem here

[@PandemoniumGameDev]

First make sure to set the speed of the fireball to something higher than 0, second change the collider on the fireball to IsTrigger

[@Vide0GamePr0]

@@PandemoniumGameDev hi i did this but i still face the same problem as stated above. the fired projectile does not move

[@Vide0GamePr0]

@@PandemoniumGameDev nevermind i found out why, it was a problem with my sprite!

[@mikeduris740]

@@Vide0GamePr0 What was the problem with the sprite if you remember? I'm currently having the issue of a stationary fireball that does everything else as it should but move even with a speed set and x axis unlocked

[@mirlikiiski9054]

Thank you for the video!) There was a question how to make an air attack?

[@PandemoniumGameDev]

You could remove the isGrounded() condition from the canAttack method (0:37). That would allow an air attack but I'm not sure how this would work with our current animations.

[@mirlikiiski9054]

@@PandemoniumGameDev That's what I did, but it still doesn't help. I made a new trigger in the attack-flying animator and registered in the method if the hero is in the air, activate the attack flight But the animation doesn't work.

[@mirlikiiski9054]

Hello again!) I was able to fix it. It turned out that I coded everything correctly. It was necessary to change the animation transitions. Namely, remove the jump transition from any state. In any case, once again I want to say a BIG THANK YOU for your course, everything is clear and without superfluous. And from such personal Wishlist, I would like a lesson about parries and counterattacks for 2d games, since I could not find information on this topic anywhere.

You are lucky my favourite nice tuto is nice tuto

[@ananymousgaming1007]

Please help, for some reason i got a CS1061 error. Assets\Scripts\PlayerAttack.cs(22,89): error CS1061: 'PlayerMovement' does not contain a definition for 'canAttack' and no accessible extension method 'canAttack' accepting a first argument of type 'PlayerMovement' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) how do I fix this?

[@reginaldsavage341]

when i shoot it does not go straight, it curls in different directions. Edit: i had to freeze the Z position. but now when i shoot for the first time it goes forward with no animation but after every time i shoot it stays in the explosion animation until it collides with something then it goes back Edit: the animation broke it.(i am not using the same sprites as shown in the video)

[@jedininjas8609]

This is so amazing and clear. but i am having one problem that I'm hoping you can help me out with. so my fireball, when i shoot it, kind of just stays there and does not move and then when I run into it it explodes. could you help me out?

[@PandemoniumGameDev]

Sounds like the speed of the fireballs is 0. Select all of them and set the speed to something bigger than 0
