Metroidvania Tutorial Series - Ep. 10B | Adding an Attack State | Let's Make A Metroidvania in Unity!

⚔️ Time to give our Player some real power! In this Unity 6 tutorial, we’ll create the Attack State, animate it, and sync the hit timing so damage actually lands at the right frame. To tie it all together, we’ll add our first Core Component: Combat, laying the foundation for a flexible combat system. This is a big topic, but we'll try to keep it as short, sharp, and practical possible — while setting up the backbone for all future combat mechanics. We’ll cover: 🎬 Building the Attack State in our Player’s state machine ⏱ Timing up attack animations with damage events ⚔️ Connecting attacks to deal damage at the right moment 🧩 Adding our first Core Component: the Combat component By the end, your Player will have a functional attack state with synced animation and damage, plus a modular Combat component you can expand into combos, special moves, or weapon systems in later videos. 🔗 Assets Used (Free for Commercial Use!)
