Hey✋,
i know this isn’t scripting but I think you can help me. My question is: Is it possible to make a 3d lightsaber in unity? I tried this but nothing happened.
And the other thing is it possible to make melee combat in Unity3d? I know you think: Wow it is a loser! And yes your right I’m a noob.
Thank you
Yours MilchBrocken and have a nice Christmas and new good Year <3!
(I think this is going to a Discussion;))
What did you try exactly?
As for melee combat, why on earth wouldn’t it be possible to do it with Unity, with any game engine for that matter?
Oh sorry,
ok here is an example: You have Kylo Ren’s Lightsaber I can turn the blade on and off but I don’t know how to make damage. I would like to make a Lightsaber that make damage. But (and here is the question) how? How I make damage. And I don’t know how to make melee combat. Ok I know how to make melee combat for 2d but not for 3d so I need help here also.
But thanks for your Reply.
Have a nice Holiday and Christmas 
And this is what I tried
Care to be more specific as to implementation details? Methods, code, etc.
What specifically are you getting stuck on?
Seems OP need first play with Getting Started forum section.
Then look for mele combat tutorials/assets.
Then look for laser swords assets/solutions.
Done.
Basically, the computer is dumb so you generally want to invent things yourself and tell it every step. You also have to fake everything, like the movies!
For example…
This might mean you use a thin cylinder for the glowing part and give the thin cylinder a material with a high emissive or emission value to make it glow.
You could hide or show this cylinder GameObject to turn the saber on and off.
You could look at adding a post effect like bloom later.
All these things are built into Unity. To know more about how to control Unity I suggest you try the Learn section of the website first, to get an idea how things work.
How do you make it become progressively longer or shorter depending on its state, on or off?
Ok
Here is the Code:
github.com/Roland09/Lighsabers-Tutorial
Then where I stuck on is the damage and the melee combat
Ok
Sure there melee combat tut but they all in 2d and I have a 3d game.
And there no lightsaber assets or solutions.
Ok thanks for your Reply but I know all of this. I Reply to the Post of Madgvox and made a GitHub profile. And there are all Scripts, Models and other things.
You shouldn’t be looking for “lightsaber” keywords as such. It is reserved trademark.
Look for synonyms instead.

You may need to combine some of them as requires.
Ok but there is on problem. I don’t want to pay for the assets because I have not so many money.
And what you propose for that matter?
There is slider on side in asset store, you can search for free assets.
You need put some effort.
I have search for free assets but there is no free asset that have a lightsaber or a melee combat script
a simple light saber

But here are 2 good assets:
Volumetric Lines | Particles/Effects | Unity Asset Store is free
XL Package - Glowing Sci-Fi Swords and Weapons (URP) | 3D Weapons | Unity Asset Store cost money
what’s that?
a very minimalistic 3d light saber
ok thanks but what you mean with minimalistic lightsaber is the lightsaber mini
