2D Dash attack
Hello, I am making a rogue like in similar style to Nuclear Throne. I am fairly new to programming and can't find any answers that fit my scenario so I figured I would ask here.
I would like to add a melee to the game where upon the push of a button (mouse 2 at current moment) the character would be propelled forward a bit in the direction of the mouse and have an active hit box. Sort of like a lunge attack.
I currently cannot figure out a way to do that. Please Help.
Here is my code currently:
Player movement:
Rigidbody2D RB;
float horizontal;
float vertical;
float moveLimiter = 0.7f;
public float runSpeed = 8f;
public float offset;
void FixedUpdate()
{
if (horizontal != 0 && vertical != 0) // Check for diagonal movement
{
// limit movement speed diagonally, so you move at 70% speed
horizontal *= moveLimiter;
vertical *= moveLimiter;
}
RB.velocity = new Vector2(horizontal * runSpeed, vertical * runSpeed);
}
Mouse Tracking:
public CameraController Cam;
public Transform shoulder;
Cam = CameraController.instance;
//weapon rotation and movement
Vector3 shoulderToMouseDir = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition) - shoulder.position;
shoulderToMouseDir.z = 0; // zero z axis since we are using 2d
transform.position = shoulder.position + (armLength * shoulderToMouseDir.normalized);
Vector3 pos = Camera.main.WorldToScreenPoint(transform.position);
Vector3 dir = Input.mousePosition - pos;
float angle = Mathf.Atan2(dir.y, dir.x) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;
transform.rotation = Quaternion.AngleAxis(angle, Vector3.forward);
