11- Enemy Damage System – Melee & Projectile Attacks (Unity RPG Tutorial)

Welcome back to the UnityQueenGame RPG Course ⚔️✨!
In this lesson, we’re upgrading our enemies so they can finally damage the player — whether they’re close-range melee fighters or long-range casters that shoot magical orbs.

By the end of this video, every enemy in your game will be able to deal proper damage and interact with the player’s health system in a clean, professional way.

🔥 What You’ll Learn in This Lesson:

1. Melee Enemy Damage Using Physics Colliders

We start by giving melee enemies the ability to hurt the player using collider detection.
Whenever the enemy swings and the collision is active, the player takes damage. This gives you a clean and responsive hit reaction system that works perfectly with animation events or timed triggers.

2. Projectile Enemies That Shoot Magic Orbs

Next, we create enemies that fight from a distance using orb projectiles.
These casters will:

Aim at the player

Shoot a glowing orb

Move the orb using a projectile script

Detect collision

Apply damage

Trigger the hit VFX


You’ll learn how to:

Instantiate projectile prefabs at the enemy’s hand

Use transform.forward or direction vectors to aim at the player

Control projectile speed, lifetime, and impact

Make the hit effect appear on collision

Reduce player health with each hit


This gives your game real combat variety, letting you create:

Wizards

Fire demons

Skeleton archers

Magical beasts

Any long-range enemy you want
