This tutorial will go over all the features to have a melee combat and exploration system as featured in Team Cherry's very popular (and fun) 2D action platformer 'Hollow Knight'

I've uploaded all the scripts discussed in this tutorial to my GitHub page https://github.com/I-Am-Err00r/Melee-...

It is highly recommended you copy those scripts and watch this tutorial to understand how the logic flows. This solution does require that your project have the ability to know when the player is grounded or not (which is a very common and rather necessary feature to have in most platforming solutions), but assuming you have your own way of managing the grounded state for the player, there is nothing that you would need to watch from any of my previous tutorials uploaded to YouTube. If you want to have a more exact solution as I present in this video, here are the other tutorials in which I discuss features and Unity tools that are shown in this tutorial:
