How do most games do their hitboxes and ragdolls?

[high notch]

I want to know how to make my own hitboxes and stuff but I also wanna know how most games like battleground games and similar games like forsaken which rely on hitboxes do their hitboxes and ragdoll
I'm asking if I want to make my own what should I learn first

[devout frigate]

tbh, people say to use raycast for hitboxes

but you have 2 options on hitboxes imo

1. Parts
   or
2. Raycasts

[high notch]

uh huh

[devout frigate]

using Parts as a hitbox are relatively easy if you know common scripting knowledge, but there are other methods that are reliable aswell i just forgot about it

for raycasting.. ehhh.. i actually dont even know LOL

You can just search up how to use raycasting

but for hitbox system they mostly use modules for their generation and handling right?

[devout frigate]

yep

always use modules for hitboxes and/or ragdolls

^^

in your opinion should I make my own hitbox system or take one from the dev store, I've seen some pretty high quality modules

[devout frigate]

Imo, making your own is kindof more better than from the dev store so that you can easily understand and/or change it, but if you understand the ones from the devstore.. then go ahead

its just preference if your game doesnt break whilist using either of these

alright thanks I'll look into raycasting and the stuff you said

[amber scroll]

do you want hitboxes in an area?

i like the part where after having made your own it is easily understandable and easy to change it. ... after having made it
