This add-on updates the dash ability by integrating it directly into the PlayerController code, allowing players to dash without needing to equip a specific ability!

PlayerController.cs (line 17 to 21):

[Header("Dash")]
[SerializeField][Min(0)] private float m_dashStrength = 1;
[SerializeField][Min(0)] private float m_dashResistance = 1;
[SerializeField] private ParticleSystem m_dashParticleSystem = null;

PlayerController.cs (line 50):

GameManager.InputSystem.gameplay.dash.performed += OnDash;

PlayerController.cs (line 62):

GameManager.InputSystem.gameplay.dash.performed -= OnDash;

PlayerController.cs (line 143 to 156):

private void OnDash(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
{
    Vector2 direction =
        m_character.IsMoving() ?
        m_character.movementDirection :
        (m_character.GetLookAtDirection() == EDirection.Right ? Vector2.right : Vector2.left);

    m_character.Push(direction, m_dashStrength, m_dashResistance, faceOppositeDirection: true);
    if (m_dashParticleSystem != null)
    {
        m_dashParticleSystem.Play();
    }
}
// Line break so it looks nicer :)

InputSystem.cs (line 10):

public InputAction dash;

InputSystem.cs (line 81):

dash = actions.FindAction("Dash"),

Usage:

1. Open Dash.prefab
2. Copy the Particle System component
3. Open 0_Hero_Base.prefab
4. Create a child Game Object to the base
5. Paste the Particle System component in this new Game Object
6. Select the root (0_Hero_Base)
7. Scroll down to Player Controller, and set the dash strength and resistance (18 and 12 work well for me)
8. Set the Dash Particle System reference by drag-and-dropping the Game Object you just created in the field
9. Open PlayerInputActions.inputactions
10. Duplicate the “Interact” action in the Gameplay map
11. Rename it to “Dash”
12. Update its bound keys (Keyboard & Gamepad)
13. Save the asset
