Most often, this is because the enemy detects multiple collisions. As set up, the enemy will deal damage for EVERY collider on the player (including child objects of the player). If you want to make sure that only one collision occurs, edit your script to read: if(collision.collider.tag == "Player"). Adding the "collider" key word, will cause the damage to only be dealt once per attack, instead of once per collider encountered. 🛑 MUSIC 🛑 🔊Running Out - Patrick Patrikios Support by RFM - NCM: https://bit.ly/2xGHypM
