Create a Hitbox Part:

Create a new part in your character's model that will act as the hitbox for the punch. This part should be invisible and have a size that represents the area where the punch will connect with other players or objects.
Script Setup:

Place a Script inside the hitbox part you created.
Server Script:

Create a server script that will handle detecting when the hitbox collides with a player or object and deal damage accordingly. You can use the Touched event to detect collisions.
Here's an example of a server script that handles the punch and deals damage:

#

local hitbox = script.Parent
local damageValue = 10 -- Change this to the desired damage value

-- Function to deal damage to a target
local function dealDamage(target)
if target and target:IsA("Model") and target:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
local humanoid = target:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
humanoid:TakeDamage(damageValue)
end
end

-- Listen for collisions with the hitbox
hitbox.Touched:Connect(function(otherPart)
local character = otherPart.Parent
if character and character:IsA("Model") and character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
-- A player's character has been touched by the hitbox
dealDamage(character)
end
end)

#

Client Script:
In your client script, you can invoke the server event to initiate the punch. You can also specify the combo and root as needed.
Here's an example of how to invoke the server event in your client script:

#

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local punchEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("PunchEvent")

-- Function to send the punch event to the server
local function sendPunchEvent(combo, root)
punchEvent:FireServer(combo, root)
end

-- Call the sendPunchEvent function with the desired combo and root values
sendPunchEvent("ComboName", game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart)
