Implementing a "Conjure-to-Climb" Mechanic in Unity & C#

The Concept In my recent project, Arcane Ascent, I wanted to move away from standard double-jumping. Instead, I implemented a system where the player can "manifest" a temporary platform beneath them mid-air. It creates a high-risk, high-reward movement loop. The Logic (The "Magic") The core challenge was ensuring the platform spawns exactly where it needs to be and disappears quickly enough to prevent the player from just standing still. 1. The Spawning Script I used a simple Instantiate call triggered by a cooldown to prevent "staircase" spamming. public GameObject magicPlatformPrefab; public float cooldown = 1.5f; private float lastConjureTime; void Update() { if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space) && Time.time > lastConjureTime + cooldown) { ConjurePlatform(); } } void ConjurePlatform() { // Spawn the platform slightly below the player's feet Vector3 spawnPos = transform.position + new Vector3(0, -1.0f, 0); Instantiate(magicPlatformPrefab, spawnPos, Quaternion.identity); lastConjureTim
