Simple DASH Mechanic in Unity

You can setup a player dash in like 7 lines of code. It's super easy.
All you need to do is:
1. Determine if you can Dash
2. Increase Player move speed for a set duration
3. Set an optional cooldown to dash again
4. Allow the player to dash again

I love the fact you explain what every line does at the end. This makes it clear to me as a total noob exactly what line does what so that I can implement those lines in other methods I'm making. Thank you!

[@mandamoon9149]

Love the simplicity, only 7 lines of code 🤯 like Bmo says, it’s fun to go fast 💨

[@Rakadeja]

Alright, subscribing. Your tutorials are very chill. Thanks so much!
Sometimes I over-complicate things, so when I see a guide like this it helps me to comprehend other ways I can accomplish the same thing.

Glad you are back!

This methods seems hard to to implement in the new input system, do you have any suggestions?

[@iR3dyOfficial]

If you still want to know
Use public InputActionReference actionKey;
And then in the if statement you’ll do this
If(actionKey.action.triggered)
This will act like KeyCode Key, but you will be able to select the input action you created

Hey so I tried adapting the tutorial without the shooting mechanic. I used the movement script and it worked but when I tried to implement the dash my character didn’t move anymore and the dash didn’t work either. Unity also didn’t recognise the KeyCode Term. Any help would be appreciated! :]

[@idabthereforeiam7479]

What input system are you using? The new input system doesn't use the .keycode fuction.

[@whyamihere555]

The player isn't stopping once the duration is over for me, just continuing to slide.

[@ElDonitazz]

Can you use character controller?

[@RandomDude00001]

Idk but I have notice that if you collide with something like enemies of walls when you dash the player rotates like crazy how do I fix that? And hey any Idea how to put a cooldown GUI for this?

[@arcadeii]

you probably figured this out but im pretty sure you have to check “freeze rotation” in the rigidbody settings ?

[@Apek44]

My dash speed variable roesnt make me go faster, its the only thing that doesnt work, no matter what i do it stays constant, i coppied everythign down exactly from this video cause i was so frustrated and it still dont work, maybe its clashign with my other movement code but idk

[@Apek44]

PLEASE HELP ME BMo IM GOING INSANE TRYING TO FIX THIS BUT BOTHING WORKS

[@Unknown-nv9so]

Have you gotten it fixed yet

[@Apek44]

@@Unknown-nv9so nope. Gave up on fixing that nd decided to do sum else, sorry

[@danilroiven2428]

I solved it with changing my character movement function to function rb.MovePosition and dashing with increasing value of the speed.
Like
rb.MovePosition(rb.position+direction.normalized * speed * Time.fixedDeltaTime); // when player is dashing, speed = dashSpeed, after dash time ends speed = defaultSpeed
Also it can be done with rb. velocity for both but in my case i did not solve that in a way that gives player little control while dashing. MovePosition method is easier, just increase the speed while dash time is not ended

[@federicorodriguez8419]

It works fine for me, but I can't run the dash diagonally when I press the up-left and down-right keys, but it works when I press up-right and down-left. Does anyone know why this happens?

[@arcadeii]

this is happening to me too, but only with up left and only on the arrow keys, works fine for wasd

[@LaughingMan44]

is having a coroutine in update not seen as a bad idea?

[@Apek44]

Why would it be?
