Combat Systems – Create a 2D RPG in Godot 4

Build a combat system in Godot 4, covering hit detection, enemy attacks, and advanced enemy navigation.

In this video, we start by creating an enemy character and defining how combat interactions work using hitboxes and hurtboxes. From there, we connect combat logic through signals, and handle enemy death with a clean death animation effect.

Once the basics are in place, we expand the system so enemies can attack back, and finally, we introduce enemy navigation, using NavigationAgent2D to make enemies actively pursue the player within a navigation region.

Asset Pack from PixelFrog on Itch.io (this series uses a small set of the free pack): https://pixelfrog-assets.itch.io/tiny-swords

Despite my attempts, I have not been able to arrange a license to redistribute the assets on GitHub. As a result you will have to download the starter kit and asset pack separately. When I'm able to arrange this with PixelFrog in the future, I will update the starter-kit and this description accordingly.
