Combat and melee techniques
I've been researching melee and combat techniques and tutorials but so far I can't really wrap my head around it. I don't mean the hack and slash style combat but more 3rd person combat. I figured it'd be as simple as adding colliders onto the weapons but from what I researched that isn't the case apparently. So what method should I use?
$$anonymous$$oved this to the Help Room Area. It doesn't fit in well with the main UA area (see the FAQ,) and is a repeat of older similar questions (but you may not know the terms to use to look them up.)
There are quite a few ways to do it but it certainly is not as simple as just adding a collider to the weapon.
1) You can add a Collider to the weapon, slave it to the Hand and play Animations. But..
You will need to ignore collisions with the wielder.
You will need to polish the animations quite well because the volume will more precise.
You will probably need to turn the collider on/off at the proper time in the animation to prevent 'touching' damage.
2) You can make a static volume (or cast) in front of the player which turns on/off/activates based on if the weapon is attacking, but...
You will have less accurate volumes
You will still need to time the damage dealing with the animation in some fashion
You could use a Spherecast or something here instead of a trigger volume.
Without more specifics of what you're trying to do it's a bit difficult to recommend something for you, but these are two common approaches.
