Player Hitbox help

[nova pond]

for player hitboxes, is it better to create custom hbs around the players character and then check if that hb is a player hitbox or just use if part is a part of a character e.g if part is right arm inside hb then deal dmg

[fickle bough]

depends, what is this for?

[drifting forge]

ig combat

[drifting forge]

for combat custom hbs

are probably better

and would make the combat

way easier

but you could use arm hitboxes too ofc

it depends on you

both are good options

[nova pond]

sorry, combat system

i appreciate that

Yea custom HBS

local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local players = game:GetService("Players")
local ss = game:GetService("ServerStorage")

--//Assets
local playerHb = ss.Assets.PlayerHitbox


game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player : Player)
    
    
    player.CharacterAppearanceLoaded:Connect(function(character : Model)
        
        character:SetAttribute("Blocking", false)
        character:SetAttribute("Attacking", false)
        character:SetAttribute("ComboEnded", false)
        
        local humanoid = character.Humanoid
        local hrp = character.HumanoidRootPart
        
        
        local clonedHb = playerHb:Clone()
        clonedHb.CFrame = hrp.CFrame

        
        local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint")
        weld.Enabled = true
        weld.Part0 = hrp
        weld.Part1 = clonedHb
        
        
        weld.Parent = clonedHb
        clonedHb.Parent = character
        
        

    end)
end)

ive got this so far

creates and welds a hb around the player char

is it too small tho

[drifting forge]

it looks great

instead of giving

every player a hitbox

you could make it so when the player attacks

give them a hitbox infront of them

[nova pond]

do you recommend both?

before i was thinking of checking if the part inside an attacking hb was part of a character, but is it better to check if the part is a player hb then deal damage?

do i just scrap the player hb

[drifting forge]

uhh

[drifting forge]

what im saying is

when a player is attacking

you can place a hitbox infront of them

and check if anything

touches the hitbox

if did, check if its a player

then yk the rest

[nova pond]

yeah i get that

but you recommend that over each player having a hb?

[drifting forge]

yeah

thats what i usually do

thanks
