How to get the enemy my player touches when he attack?

Hello,
Let’s say my player as a sword and when I left click he swing his sword and attack the enemy in front of him.

(I don’t click on the enemy, in fact I don’t have the cursor showing at all so using raycast isn’t an option).

I want now to damage that specific enemy and I don’t know how to get that enemy health in my combat script.

Any ideas?

Im assuming that each enemy has a different name and that each one has a script containing their individual health and stats. You could do this by attaching a script to your sword, and if it collides with an enemy, then do damage, as well as access their stats script. For example:

    private void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision)
    {
        if (collision.collider.gameObject.CompareTag("Enemy")) //If my sword collides with an enemy:
        {
            GameObject enemyThatIHit = collision.gameObject; //Stores the enemy's information into a local gameObject

            HealthScript enemyHealth = enemyThatIHit.GetComponent<HealthScript>(); //Gets the enemy's health script

            float HealthOfEnemy = enemyHealth.health; //Gets the enemy's health
        }
    }

Hope it works! @dddaniel159
