hitbox spawning where player last was before death

[bold willow]

im making a fighting game and for some reason i have this bug where if you die and continue to play the game as normal, hitboxes will now spawn where your player last was before you died. i have nothing that saves the position of the player upon death so i have no clue as to why this is happening

function serverUtilities:hitbox(plr,move,additionalParam)
    
    --warn("move:",move)
    
    local character = plr.Character
    local humanoid = character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
    local hrp = character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
    
    local tempData = playerTemporalIndex:FindFirstChild(plr.Name .. "tempdata")
    
    local buildFolder = tempData:FindFirstChild("build")
    
    local playerClass = buildFolder:FindFirstChild("class").Value
    
    local moveIndex =  classes[playerClass]["moves"][move]
    
    local hitbox = Instance.new("Part")
    hitbox.Parent = game.Workspace
    
    if additionalParam ~= nil and additionalParam >= 1 then
        moveIndex = classes[playerClass]["moves"][move][additionalParam]
    end
    
    hitbox.Size = moveIndex["hitbox"]
    
    hitbox.Anchored = true
    hitbox.Transparency = .7
    hitbox.CanCollide = false
    
    local playerSettings = game.ReplicatedStorage.playerTemporal:FindFirstChild(plr.Name .. "tempdata"):FindFirstChild("settings")
    local hasClientPriority = playerSettings:FindFirstChild("clientHitboxPriority")
    
    if hasClientPriority then
        local clientHrp = runtimeComms:InvokeClient(plr,"gethrp")
        hitbox.CFrame = clientHrp * moveIndex["hrpdistance"]
    else
        --or if ping too high
        hitbox.CFrame = hrp.CFame * moveIndex["hrpdistance"]
    end

    
    local ar = region3mod.FromPart(hitbox)
    local result = region3mod.Cast(ar,character)
    
    local playersHit = {}
    
    for _,item in pairs (result) do
        if table.find(gameInfo.bodyparts,item.Name) and item.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid") and not table.find(playersHit,item.Parent) then
            --print("detected")
            local enemyHumanoid = item.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
            table.insert(playersHit,item.Parent)
            
            --make sure to check if player has iframes or something
            serverUtilities:damage(plr,enemyHumanoid,move,additionalParam)
            
            
            
            
        end
    end
    
    game.Debris:AddItem(hitbox,.03)
    
    return hitbox,result
end

i doubt its the hasClientPriority thingy because

1. it's defaulted to false (and also is false in the video)
2. it would literally ask the client where the humanoidrootpart is.

it could be the ragdoll but i'm not sure

update: it is not the ragdoll.

thx for responding, unfortunately it still spawns where the player last was when they died

[sonic oar]

Damn

Try

[bold willow]

still no luck 😭

[sonic oar]

Check output

[bold willow]

no errors in output 💔

[sonic oar]

Wait a minute

Cfame

Nvm

[bold willow]

i fixed the typo but

still nothing

[sonic oar]

Where did you put the script?

Uh

[bold willow]

the one u sent? it's in a module script called serverUtilities, which is called by a server script called actionHandler

animationTrack:GetMarkerReachedSignal("hit"):Connect(function(param)
        local number = tonumber(param)
        if param == 0 then param = nil end
        
        serverUtilities:hitbox(plr,move,number)
    end)

[sonic oar]

Ok ok

[bold willow]

right now i'm running out of ideas so i'm lowkey just doing stupid stuff like this, trying to get it to work

[sonic oar]

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")

local function spawnHitbox(plr)
local char = plr.Character
if not char then return end

local hrp = char:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
if not hrp then
    warn("No HRP)
    return
end

local hitbox = Instance.new("Part")
hitbox.Size = Vector3.new(5, 5, 5)
hitbox.Anchored = true
hitbox.CanCollide = false
hitbox.Transparency = 0.5
hitbox.BrickColor = BrickColor.Red()
hitbox.CFrame = hrp.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 0, -5)
hitbox.Parent = workspace

game.Debris:AddItem(hitbox, 0.5)

end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
wait(1)

    while character and character.Parent == workspace do
        spawnHitbox(player)
        wait(1)
    end
end)

end)
Put this inside a new script inside of server script service

[bold willow]

alright

weirdly enough that does work as intended, i reset and it's still spawning in front of me

[sonic oar]

Nice

[bold willow]

oh my god.

i think i found it.

hold on if this works i'm gonna get mad

it worked.

[sonic oar]

Didn't it work before

[bold willow]

no like i just fixed the entire thing

turns out

it's this specific line

it was checking if it existed at all

not it's actual value

@sonic oar thank you so much for your help though 😭 🙏, i'm sorry that it was something so goofy like this

[sonic oar]

Omg
