Hello! I have a hitbox module that has a built in table for hit players (hitbox.hitlist) that I am trying to then send to a VFX handler to process hit effects on the players. The problem is that it is not passing the table information over properly and is just sending an empty table. I want to be able to have a whiff animation if nothing hits as well so I want it to be outside of the touched event. (NOTE: This is not an actual .touched event, it is simply what the creator of the module uses for their GetPartsBoundInBox table!)
