In this Unity tutorial we're going to look at how we can implement a robust ground check using Unity's SphereCast method. We'll then use this to prevent infinite jumping by ensuring the Player is grounded before allowing another jump.
This is the fifth video in our series showing how to make a full 3D platformer game in Unity.
