whats the best way to register hitboxes

[balmy hare]

I'm already doing server-client-server sanity check model, but I notice that a lot of other games don't do it that way, I'm just wondering since there's position delay between the client and server why are they doing hitbox on server?

exploiting

r u using parts and .touched?

[wide mulch]

isnt that what yiu are supposed to use yk .touched and stuff

[azure cradle]

.Touched is unreliable

[wide mulch]

what

then what do u use

[azure cradle]

:GetPartsInPart() or raycasts

[wide mulch]

but like then isnt there the risk of the raycast hitting a randm part first?

like what ifit hits the tree

[azure cradle]

if u hit a tree it hits a tree

What do you think?

[solar axle]

that's not exactly true in the case of anything online

[azure cradle]

i dont do raycasts so idk

[solar axle]

if the tree vanishes when it is hit, you hitting the tree won't hit the tree if another player hits it before you

[azure cradle]

deep

[solar axle]

and by 'before' i specifically mean in the range of about 100~200ms, aka typical network latency

[solar axle]

because if you trust the client then exploiters can hit anyone at any time anywhere on the map.

I do a magnitude check on the server with the size of the sent hitbox

But rn its send to client then cleint makes the partinbund or partsinparts hitbox i forget which one

Then server checks

[balmy hare]

So do you do server side hitbox only?

I kinda want my hitbox to feel responsive i guess

[solar axle]

you should if you want your game to be safe from cheaters

but doing that is easier said than done

good luck https://www.google.com/search?q=clientside+prediction

...or just do it all on the server and accept input lag like tsb does it and everyone else does it

it's not the best way

but it's the way you are capable of
