Need some help with Shields!! (im on a game jam, pls help)

Hey guys, i am making a top down game with some simple mechanics, our character dashes, crouches and we want to make it create a shield to protect himself. The problem is how to make the shield appear lol, i already got an idea how it would work for block with OnTriggerEnter, but the problem would be actually showing it, basically we have an animation where he makes the shield so i don't think i would make it a separate sprite, i would want to just spawn the hitbox but i don't know how to, i would want it to spawn in front of the character in four directions (up,down, left and right) but i don't know if i would have to make only 1 object or multiple or how to even control them. If anyone could help me a bit with that, it would help a lot.

Ps: i am still learning so it probably is really easy but im am not being able to figure this out

Rant: hard to hire unity devs

Trying to hire a junior and mid level.

So far 8 applicants have come in for an interview. Only one had bothered to download our game beforehand.

None could pass a quite basic programming test even when told they could just google and cut and paste :/

Color Escape—a project that started as a joke but grew into something we believed in, and now we’re on Steam. It’s a cooperative action-horror game for 4 players where colors help you hide from monsters, open doors, and explore a maze. Teamwork and ingenuity are the keys to survival.

Trouble with moving on slopes!

Hello!
I'm working on a platformer akin to Mario and Donkey Kong Country, and I'm having serious issues with the slopes. I'm trying to make my player stick to the slopes, but my player is pushed across when sitting still. Do you know of any ways I can fix this?

Here is my code.

i have walls that you can place down for my top down 2.5D game and i have all these sprites to make them look connected

i have walls that you can place down for my top down 2.5D game and i have all these sprites to make them look connected. Im using rule tiles rn but i cant figure out how to give each tile its own y sorting and own health noscript what should i do?

i rather make it so you place gameobjects instead of tiles cause that seems easier to add the all the noscripts i need but idk how i can achieve the same effect as a rule tile.


(idk how to word this question AT ALL BTW sorry)
