Metroidvania Tutorial Series - Ep. 10A | Attack State: Target Dummy | Let's Make A Metroidvania in Unity!

⚔️ Want to bring combat to life in your 2D game? In this Unity 6 tutorial, we’ll set up a fully animated Attack Dummy that reacts when hit — plus give our Player a basic attack to test it out. Perfect for starting your combat system and making your world feel more alive. This one is packed with practical steps we will expand on in the next video. We’ll cover: 🎯 Creating a dummy that plays a “hit” animation when struck 🔄 Hooking up the Player’s attack input to trigger dummy reactions 🧩 Using Unity’s Animator and triggers for clean, responsive feedback 💥 Setting the stage for future combat mechanics like combos, damage, and knockback By the end, you’ll have a working attack interaction between Player and Dummy — a foundation you can build into full combat systems in upcoming videos. 🔗 Assets Used (Free for Commercial Use!)
