This beginner-friendly tutorial walks you through making an enemy detect the player nearby, perform a melee attack animation, and actually deal damage, reducing the player's health. Perfect for beginners wanting to add simple combat interactions to their games. We'll cover using detection zones (like Area2D/3D), triggering animations with AnimationPlayer, managing player health points, and writing the GDScript to connect everything.
