bullets being inconsistent

[modest sierra]

.touched being very unreliable, i've since changed it to runservice just to have it create hitboxes even after bullet deletion. (i tried printing bullet and it prints the instance despite the instance not being in the game)

[modest sierra]

this is the runservice i used

heres a video

what

im using projectiles

and even then it wouldnt fix the issue

i have a perfectly fine hitbox system

just that it keeps triggering it

the problem is the trigger not the mechanism

you're proposing a mechanism

the bullets are projectiles

but i do understand what you mean

make a short raycast and whatever

(and that only works if the bullets are thin, i'd like to make a reliable solution for future projectiles)

touched was my 1st tirgger

but it was unreliable

so i switched to runservicve

and now its doing what its doing now

check video if u dont know what im tlaking about

tried both with and without

both unreliable

frankly i dont see what the problem is if i used get parts in part

what??

if the raycast hit the player at 1st

but then the player moves before the bullet hits them

then it would still count

thats kind of the point of using projectiles instead of hitscan..

[wraith patrol]

use raycast bro

[modest sierra]

bro i already have hitboxes

the hitboxes are perfectly fine leave them alone 😭

[wraith patrol]

raycasttttt

[modest sierra]

bro fym raycast 😭

[wraith patrol]

.

u got the solution here

[modest sierra]

and if they dodge?

the guy moves closer

walks torwards the player

the thing doesnt check

cuz it only checks for the old distance

new distance is closer/farther

???

the bullet LANDS on the WALL

and when it LANDS on the WALL THATS when you want me to check?

how would that even work bro 😭

?

[ocean saffron]

@modest sierra can u explain what is the issue here

[modest sierra]

yknow when the bullet lands?

it keeps making hitboxes

i want that to stop

[ocean saffron]

this is stupid btw

[modest sierra]

EXACTLY

LEAVE MY HITBOXES ALONE

[ocean saffron]

can u show me the script

[modest sierra]

i have it at the main thing

if u want to see more tell me which part

resent for convinience

ignore the third one that one is changed to the 4th one

[proven citrus]

"i have perfectly fine hitbox system but theres something wrong with the hitbox system"

[modest sierra]

its the trigger not the hitbox system, i used it everywhere else and it works fine

[ocean saffron]

what is this first script with .touched

[proven citrus]

did i catch that right?

[modest sierra]

i changed it (to run service)

[ocean saffron]

can u show the hbmod.Create() function

[modest sierra]

err

ok hold on

ok my hbmod is very unorganised

[proven citrus]

.Touched spams touched and touchended on moving hitboxes, but what i'd like to know is why is there no debounce and why is bullet:destroy() after the task.wait() and not before?

[modest sierra]

give me a sec while i compact things abit

[ocean saffron]

u also should disconnect the runservice event once the bullet is destroyed

[ivory schooner]

** You are now Level 5! **

[modest sierra]

debounce as in for damage? thats what the iframes were for

and im not quite sure what you mean by destroy after task.wait

thats the amount of time the bullet travels to its destination, i wouldnt want it to get deleted before it hits something

[proven citrus]

does the bullet hit one thing or many thing?

[modest sierra]

it disappears after hitting 1 player

but it mind as well be able to hit multiple things if it happens to hit 2 things at once

cuz of well hitboxes

[modest sierra]

i'll try this for now tho

[proven citrus]

maybe that why it hitting things more than once?

[modest sierra]

uhm

thats not exactly the problem

the problem is the hitboxes keep generating despite after the bullet gets deleted

[proven citrus]

maybe this

hbmod.Create every Stepped with no way to stop it will do that to ya

[modest sierra]

the thing that threw me off was the fact that it still ran despite the if statement

[proven citrus]

if bullet then will hold bullet in memory and depends on the code leading to it

such are upvalues

maybe you have a local bullet in the wrong place 🤷

[raven bear]

yeah

[modest sierra]

"yeah" 💀😭

[raven bear]

what

just agreeing with him

[modest sierra]

are you high 😭
