How to get multiple parts in the same hitbox?

[coarse night]

I was wondering if it is possible to get multiple humanoids in a given part. How could I do this? (as the way it is right now only detects one person at a time, even if there are two people in the box.)

Here's the script that detects players and makes hitboxes:

[celest lava]

@coarse night

I think using GetPartsInPart

u using touched rn, correct?

[coarse night]

yea

[shell magnet]

** You are now Level 6! **

[celest lava]

yea

then its getpartsinpart

[coarse night]

ok so how would i write that in? (like instead of touched i would put that?)

so instead it would be Hitbox.GetpartsInPart?

[celest lava]

local hits = workspace:GetPartsInPart(ur part here)

i think

[coarse night]

ok i will give it a try in a min

[celest lava]

local touchingParts = workspace:GetPartsInPart(part)

[coarse night]

thank you

[celest lava]

like that

[coarse night]

oh ok

[celest lava]

and it has params too

like what to include or exclude

[coarse night]

ooh what params

oh ok

[celest lava]

it means parameters

[coarse night]

how would i exclude the hitbox itself (cause i know it is an issue)

[celest lava]

Are you beginner?

[coarse night]

no i know 😭

im sorta beginner but not really

[celest lava]

Ok

[coarse night]

i know what params are lol 😭

[celest lava]

oh

ok

so you got it

tell me if something goes wrong @coarse night

[coarse night]

alr ill try it

am doing smth rn so i might ping in a bit

[vagrant finch]

hi

[coarse night]

hello

[vagrant finch]

workspace:getpartsinpart(part)

this will return a table containing all the parts inside the part u passed

u can iterate through them to see if theyre parts of a model that contains a humanoid

[coarse night]

ok thanks

[vagrant finch]

@coarse night

this what u want?

[coarse night]

indeedy i guess

you didnt have to do that, thank you

[vagrant finch]

np im js bored

[coarse night]

while i have you here, could you tell me where i would put code to link the detection to a function (Like stunning or taking damage) (Sorry to be a bother)

[vagrant finch]

np

one moment leme check ur code again

so this is just a hitbox once

so u dont need .touched

and u dont need the destroyhitbox remote

if u use my method

[coarse night]

the destroyhitbox was linked to animations

[vagrant finch]

one sec

[vagrant finch]

oh destroy hitbox once animation done?

[coarse night]

yea

[vagrant finch]

ah

how do i zoom in 😭

cmd + aint working

[coarse night]

uhh

[vagrant finch]

nvm

figured out a way

ok we can stick to using touched

[coarse night]

im not on mac, sorry 😭

[vagrant finch]

np

[coarse night]

ok so how would i use touched to get multiple humanoids

[vagrant finch]

instead of setting debounce to true completely after only one person takes damage

you check the table if the person that .touched has debounce to true

by using their humanod as the key

here's a visual to help understand better:

local debounce = {
[player1Humanoid] = true,
[player2Humanoid] = true,
[player3Humanoid] = true
}

so basically before dealing damage

check

if debounce[player1Humanoid] then return end -- exit the function if player1Humanoid is a key that is = to true inside the debounce table```

i got rid of ur original nested set up whjere u were doing this

by just doing if not humanoid then return end, and if debounce then return end

same thing

just prevents unnecessary nesting

[coarse night]

so why do you not index the debounce table at the end? is it because at that point you need to remove everyone from the table

so from here how do I add extra conditions to the conditional?

[vagrant finch]

i made a mistake

debounce = false

should be

debounce[humanoid] = false

that means 0.1s after the person was hit theyre able to take damage again if they touch the hitbox

but also once ur done with the hitbox ur gonna wanna do table.clear(debounce) which sets each key to nil, if u dont do that then itll affect performance once those tables stack up

[coarse night]

cause I need to re-implement blocking, but when i tried this:

oh

wait lemme adjust 😭

[vagrant finch]

im so confused

why do u have 2 touched events

one here

[coarse night]

where is the second one

[vagrant finch]

and one here

[coarse night]

oh

[vagrant finch]

zestyremote andlightattackremote connections

[coarse night]

disregard the zestyremote

[vagrant finch]

both have a hitbox.touched

[coarse night]

i made it as a joke and i plan to remove it 😭

[vagrant finch]

oh ok that's the one i edited earlier

we dont need zestyremote?

[coarse night]

yea that isnt needed i just forgot to remove it

[vagrant finch]

o

[coarse night]

it should be fine cause they functuon the same way

[vagrant finch]

ok

[coarse night]

btw should i put the destroy event inside the touched event in order to clear the table? or should the table clearing line go after it sets debounce to false?

[vagrant finch]

uh

i have an idea that'll make it way less complicated than it can be

just in a separate thread wait 5 seconds and then clear the table

because after 5 seconds the animation is basically guaranteed to have been done

use task.spawn(functon()

wait no

use task.delay

it waits 5 seconds before running this function

have u used task.spawn or coroutine yet

[coarse night]

wouldnt that make the hitbox stay out longer?

no

[vagrant finch]

basically it wont stop the scriot

[coarse night]

idk how they work at all

[vagrant finch]

it wont wait 5 seconds in the script

itll open a new thread

imagine ur script is this box with code

task.delay/task.spawn/coroutine.wrap creates a new box that runs that code

[vagrant finch]

and wont affect ur main box of code

[coarse night]

ah ok

[vagrant finch]

ill send an example in a bit to help uget a deeper understanding

[coarse night]

so that leaves the question, how do i add to the conditions

ok

thank you

[coarse night]

nvm i think i might be a dummy

[vagrant finch]

task.spawn/task.delay is the same thing but task.delay u pass a number to wait before running the function (the function is the second argument you pass)

[coarse night]

ok thats crazy useful

thanks

[vagrant finch]

np

[coarse night]

ok so i have ran into another issue: the blocking system seems to be broken and i don't really know why

[vagrant finch]

what's broken about it

[coarse night]

when it blocks, it does damage through block

the long if statement up top is supposed to be the check, but it doesnt seem to check for it

[vagrant finch]

so a player that is blocking - is taking the regular damage even tho theyre blocking?

[coarse night]

yea

[vagrant finch]

i would make sure that the block check is working fine

[coarse night]

im not really sure how it wouldnt be since the last time i used the check it worked fine

[vagrant finch]

well try printing it

[coarse night]

so i have to check by looking in the table?

[vagrant finch]

so clearly it's failing the if statemenet check if it's going to the else statement where it damages

so figure out why that if statement check is failling

maybe the dot?

[coarse night]

no thats the wrong script thingy

[vagrant finch]

oh?

[coarse night]

i used yours

[vagrant finch]

send the current code

[coarse night]

Hitbox.Touched:Connect(function(Hit)
            
            local Humanoid = Hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
            if debounce[Humanoid] then return end
            if not Humanoid then return end
            if  player.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame.LookVector:Dot(Hit.CFrame.LookVector) <= -0.5 and Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Hit.Parent):WaitForChild("IsBlocking").Value == true then
                print("IsBlocked")
            end
            
            debounce[Humanoid] = true
            
            Hit.Parent.Humanoid:TakeDamage(5)
            --StunEvent:FireClient(Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Hit.Parent)) These work btw, just needed to check if it was the stun throwing things off
            --ApplyStun(Hit.Parent, 1)
            
            wait(0.1)
            
            debounce[Humanoid] = false
            
            task.delay(5, function()
                table.clear(debounce)
            end)

[vagrant finch]

looks like ur not exiting the code

when theyre blocking

by returning

[coarse night]

i was returning before, i just changed it cause you told me to print lol 😭

so uhh

imagine a return in place of the print there*

[vagrant finch]

yea u didnt need to take out the return

we were debugging

to make sure that particular code block was running

[coarse night]

oops

my bad 😭

it doesnt give any errors in console so idk whats going on with it

for some reason it works on the dummy

[vagrant finch]

ummmmmmmmm

lowkey share the place with me

ill show u how to debug this

[coarse night]

😭

ok ill make a copy and share it

[vagrant finch]

ight

share it to gameplayer2769

dont send the place file

[coarse night]

oh

[vagrant finch]

click collaborae

[coarse night]

i just found the place file lol

alr hold on im gonna dupe it

[vagrant finch]

okki

[coarse night]

just out of curiousity, why should i not

is it like a scripts issue?

[vagrant finch]

no id like for u to see me debugging live as i do it

[coarse night]

oh

ok

i need to friend you so

[vagrant finch]

o

send ign

[coarse night]

ill send you a friend request

@robertthesalmon

ok you should be good to edit

[vagrant finch]

im curious

do u use this stuff?

the icon module

and the stuff under it

[coarse night]

it was a something froma tutorial i used to make the menu icons

[shell magnet]

** You are now Level 7! **

[coarse night]

i havent actually used any of them tho

[vagrant finch]

ur set up lowkey reminds me of myself when i was starting out xD

im looking thru ur scripts lol

[vagrant finch]

ah

[coarse night]

they are really scuffed 😭

[vagrant finch]

what script r we looking at

[coarse night]

hitboxes

in server script service

[vagrant finch]

how do i use the attack

in play test

[coarse night]

left mouse

[vagrant finch]

im doing it

[coarse night]

oh

press f

[vagrant finch]

ok

[coarse night]

i forgot that i set the blocking value to true to test

[vagrant finch]

so it's not working for the rig/npc right?

does it work for player?

[coarse night]

it doesnt work for actual players

it somehow works on the rig

[vagrant finch]

how does the rig block

[coarse night]

has a value in it called isblocking that is set to true

but the hitbox script doesnt check for that value so it makes even less sense

[vagrant finch]

the rig doenst take damage becuase ur code errors

and stops there

before it can damage

[coarse night]

yea ik but if you hit it from behind it, it does

[vagrant finch]

join team test

show me

how do i use block?

@coarse night

[coarse night]

hold f

when you let go it gets disabled

[vagrant finch]

@coarse night

this is a copy right?

u have ur original right?

[coarse night]

yea

[vagrant finch]

im mkaing sum changes so i can debug better

[coarse night]

yea this should be the copy

lemme double check

yea thats the copy

go for it

[vagrant finch]

it's printing isBlocking true

even though im not holdin gF

where's this value representing IsBlocking again

[coarse night]

hold on

[vagrant finch]

oh under player

[coarse night]

lemme change the default value

[vagrant finch]

Oh

[coarse night]

yea its under the player

[vagrant finch]

i clicked f

i tohught F lets u use the m1?

but it also blocks?

do u have to hold F to block

[coarse night]

you have to press f so that the block release script runs

cause by default its set to true so that i didnt have to use multiple computuers

ok it should be fixed

[vagrant finch]

u do knjow u can do this right?

[coarse night]

yea but i cant hold f on one lcient

then punch on the other

cause then it lets go of f

[vagrant finch]

wait can u describe the problem again:

when u try to hit a player when ur in front of them, even though theyre blocking (because on start it's set to isblocking true) - it damages or doesnt damage?

[coarse night]

ok so:

When the player is blocking, the damage goes through as if they arent
(I fixed the press f thing, its just mapped to block now)

[vagrant finch]

The player who is blocking - even though youre in front of them and theyre blocking, they take damage from you?

[coarse night]

yes

i think*

[vagrant finch]

undo this

[coarse night]

should we team test it?

[vagrant finch]

i want the blocking to true by default

[coarse night]

ok

[vagrant finch]

nah nrn

[coarse night]

all good im gonna set it to true

ok its set

[vagrant finch]

seems to be working for me? do u see any problem here?

from the front, im hitting player2 who has IsBlocking true and they arent taking damaga as expeceted?https://gyazo.com/e6e189bf6cddc806de102c7c735c9669

let me try going behind them to see if they take damage (which they should right, even though theyre IsBlocking = true?)

[coarse night]

umm

yea that should be right

it wasnt working 2 seconds ago

lemme try

[vagrant finch]

this works too
https://gyazo.com/c2bb69228565a016b90cca75fdb13c10

[coarse night]

😭

wait im crying what is going on

am i schizophrenic?

[vagrant finch]

lel

what is this

why is it waiting double

if u found the isStunned value

and if u didnt find the IStunned value then itll error

[coarse night]

terrible stun function 😭

[vagrant finch]

in the elseif

cuz ur trying to set nil.value = true

[coarse night]

i was really confused by the folder methos

[vagrant finch]

oh

[coarse night]

so i did that and it does work

[vagrant finch]

lowkey i gotta teach u modules

[coarse night]

im just not firing stun rn

[vagrant finch]

for states

itll make ur life

100x easie

r

[coarse night]

so im not schizophrenic

it actually doesnt work in the original

[vagrant finch]

team test to show me

?

oh

but it does in here?

interesting

[coarse night]

yea and everything is the same so??

[vagrant finch]

mmmm

[coarse night]

so it also turns out that the character that im hitting isnt able to block??

i think something is up here

[vagrant finch]

debug block script

prints

[coarse night]

alr im gonna try that and see what happens

ty for your help today, i really appreciate it

[vagrant finch]

if u had a state module all youd have to do is

-- getting
local isBlocking = stateModule.getState(player, "IsBlocking")
local isUsingMove = stateModule.getState(player, "IsUsingMove")

-- setting
stateModule.setState(player, "IsBlocking", true)
stateModule.setState(player, "IsUsingMove", true)

and u can store literally anything in there

[coarse night]

woah that sounds promising

well i gotta go to sleep so

[vagrant finch]

kk

[coarse night]

thank you for your help today

and yesterday
