What is the best way to do third person melee combat?
So for our game we want to have third person melee combat, using a sword, with a crosshair. What would be the most accurate way of doing this?
A collider on the end of the sword maybe? Or a raycast/spherecast?
Not really sure what your question is asking. What is the most accurate way to check for collisions from a third person view simulating melee combat? Or are you looking for more diablo style combat?
We're making a third person view game with melee combat. Which system is the best for making this?

Are you looking for a hack and slash type combat system? Usually you dont rig the transform itself with any collision - the model is just for a visual representation of what the code is doing.

No... We want to make real-time third person shooter melee combat, like Darkfall Online, Risk Your Life, TERA Online, etc etc.
If you want it third person just do what the toutorial says but put on the camera code that called "SmoothFollow", that scrip is already in your assets. Its on java script and you don't need to change nothing
so put the camera behind the character and attach it as a child to the character or one of his parts. you don't need a code for it...
