My hitbox wont properly work

[open zealot]

idk why my hitbox dont appear infront of me it appears in the middle of the map and i copied multiple codes but they dont work

[modest dawn]

send script

[open zealot]

wait

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local humanoidRootPart = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

local hitbox = Instance.new("Part")
hitbox.Size = Vector3.new(4, 4, 4) -- Adjust as needed
hitbox.Anchored = true
hitbox.CanCollide = false
hitbox.Transparency = 0.5
hitbox.Color = Color3.new(1, 0, 0) -- Red so you can see it
hitbox.Position = humanoidRootPart.Position + humanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector * 5
hitbox.Parent = workspace

[open zealot]

.

[modest dawn]

hmmmm I don’t see anything wrong can u send a vid? Sorry for the inconvenience

[open zealot]

sure

[open zealot]

not really a inconvenince

[modest dawn]

Use cframe instead of position

[modest dawn]

Try using cframe and without lookvector

u would only need that for rotation (orientation)in that example

[open zealot]

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local humanoidRootPart = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

local hitbox = Instance.new("Part")
hitbox.Size = Vector3.new(4, 4, 4)
hitbox.Anchored = true
hitbox.CanCollide = false
hitbox.Transparency = 0.5
hitbox.Color = Color3.new(1, 0, 0)
hitbox.Position = humanoidRootPart.CFrame + humanoidRootPart.CFrame * 5
hitbox.Parent = workspace

this?

like tis?

[modest dawn]

btw! You can do += instead of that long line and you can’t “add” c frames to actually add c frames u have to use the multiplication sign

[open zealot]

uh

[rapid crater]

** You are now Level 3! **

[modest dawn]

so hitbox.CFrame = humanoidrootpart.CFrame * 5try this

[open zealot]

my brain

where

hitbox.Position = humanoidRootPart.CFrame + humanoidRootPart.CFrame * 5

on this part?

[modest dawn]

oop forgot something lemme fix it

you have to use CFrame.new

so hitbox.CFrame = humanoidrootpart.CFrame * CFrame.new(xval, yval, zval)

@open zealot

whatever position u want it to be in

if it doesn’t work tell me

[open zealot]

hitbox.CFrame = humanoidrootpart.CFrame * CFrame.new(xval, yval, zval)

is this on another line?

[modest dawn]

Replace the position line with that

and the values are ur distance from the humanoid root part

whatever u want it to be

[open zealot]

?

[modest dawn]

capital R

And the xval yval and zval are like a vector3

Just put the numbers

[open zealot]

where capital R

[gilded topaz]

I see the problem

[modest dawn]

The distance from the humanoidrootpart

[modest dawn]

read ur variables

[gilded topaz]

You're trying to set a vector3 value to a cframe value, causing the script to error

[open zealot]

😭

my brain cant handle these

wait

[open zealot]

what do i do

😭

[modest dawn]

bro

it’s supposed to be humanoidRootPart not humanoidrootpart

[gilded topaz]

just change ```lua
hitbox.Position = humanoidRootPart.Position + humanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector * 5

to
```lua
hitbox.CFrame= humanoidRootPart.CFrame + humanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector * 5

[modest dawn]

he’s just gonna copy the code and not remember what to do

I’m tryna tell him step by step ig

[gilded topaz]

There was only one step 😔

[modest dawn]

well true

[open zealot]

uh it didnt work

[modest dawn]

show script

did u change the CFrame.new() values?

[open zealot]

this didnt work either

😭

[modest dawn]

ykw instead of showing step by step just copy this

[open zealot]

😭

[modest dawn]

so hitbox.CFrame = humanoidrootpart.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 0, -5) — -5 is the distance from the humanoid root part

[open zealot]

where do i put that

[modest dawn]

replace the old CFrame script with that

[gilded topaz]

OML

I figured out the problem lmao

[open zealot]

if this doesnt work kruz im kissing you bro

[gilded topaz]

game.Players.LocalPlayer in the server script right on the top 💀

[open zealot]

uh

i dont understand

😂

[gilded topaz]

You can't get the local player from a normal script lol

it'll just error

[open zealot]

what do i do then bro

[modest dawn]

Oh I didn’t notice the local player thing

access the player another way

Use remote events

fire server when player attacks

@open zealot are u using UIS?

[modest dawn]

User input service

oh

[open zealot]

this script is the m1s

[tacit pine]

script prob wont run in rs or im wrong

[modest dawn]

why input ended and not input began?

[open zealot]

it does run the hitbox just doesnt spawn infront of me

[open zealot]

thats not the problem right onw since it works properly the problem is the hitbox 😭

[modest dawn]

true just saying bad code

anyways

not even sure how it works

[open zealot]

it just does

but anyways

the player blah vlah

[gilded topaz]

I'm not sure how it's spawning a hitbox in the first place considering it would be erroring out on the first line

[open zealot]

how does that work bro

[modest dawn]

in the remote events add the player into one of the parameters

[open zealot]

how do i accesss the player

[modest dawn]

The player that begins the input

[open zealot]

😭 im doing sorcery

[gilded topaz]

Especially considering the one guy is right, the script won't run in replicated storage

[modest dawn]

also input ended only detects ur input after u stop holding

u can just hold and never attack

so make it inputbegan

[gilded topaz]

Where tf are you getting the hitbox 😭

[open zealot]

but tje problem is the hitbox 😭

[modest dawn]

yeah but HOW is it not erroring

[open zealot]

i legit made other hitbox scripts from other people hitbox script and its the same thing

[rapid crater]

** You are now Level 4! **

[gilded topaz]

Because it's not running lol

[open zealot]

I DONT KNOW

I LEGIT DONT EVEN KNOW WHY IT WONT WORK

even wit hother peoples script it oegit just stays in the middle of the map 😭

[modest dawn]

calm down now

Let me
Explain

where is the remote event in ur script?

Like using it

@open zealot

Do you know how to use remote events

[open zealot]

uh

no

😂

[gilded topaz]

Just to confirm, where exactly is the script being stored

[open zealot]

ill show rq

[normal grove]

Bro I think you should start from the basics instead of jumping to hitboxes

[modest dawn]

Btw what episode of the brawldev tutorial are you?

[normal grove]

Copying random code isn’t gonna get you anywhere

[open zealot]

main event

is the remote vent

event

[open zealot]

uh what basics 😂

[gilded topaz]

Bro's committing sorcery rn. Somehow spawning a hitbox when the script is in replicatedstorage and errors out on the first line lol

[open zealot]

exactly i didnt copy any it was just mine thats why its glitched 😂

[normal grove]

Functions, variables, tables, remote events, etc

[modest dawn]

access the remote event in this script

[normal grove]

I see that 😭

[modest dawn]

The script is in replicated storage?

[open zealot]

uh

i didnt quite interpret that

[open zealot]

yeah

😎

[modest dawn]

make a variable equal to the event

and get .onserverevent

[gilded topaz]

Yeah, so I don't know where he's getting that hitbox lol

[open zealot]

😎

[open zealot]

i still ddint understand that

i might be ed but ykyk

[modest dawn]

what do you really know about scripting?

did you follow any tutorials

[open zealot]

yeah

😎

because im cool like that

i asked ai

to check some stuff and it said it was fine

[normal grove]

Well the hitbox only spawns once bc it isn’t connected to a function but it shouldn’t work either way

[open zealot]

like 2 days ago

[normal grove]

I think its position errors to default which is why it doesn’t spawn on ur character

[open zealot]

but it spawns on the middle of the map instead?

[gilded topaz]

Yeah. Between being in replicated storage and the errors at the start, it shouldn't even be reaching the instance.new even if it did run

[normal grove]

Because the way ur accessing the character is just wrong

U need to send the player from the remote event

[tacit pine]

He made it in explorer. See he set size 4,4,4 but in image its bigger

[normal grove]

Then get the character from the player

[modest dawn]

and that’s why everything errored

[open zealot]

exactly bro i forgot to say that mb

[gilded topaz]

Oml

[normal grove]

Bro 😭 😭

[open zealot]

i didnt change anything i only asked

[gilded topaz]

Yeah, I give up on this

[open zealot]

so uh chat

whats wrong

😎

[normal grove]

Nvm

[modest dawn]

I know something you need

Start actually learning how to script

watch brawldev

Hes good

[open zealot]

medication yeah type sh 😎

[modest dawn]

for beginners

[open zealot]

oh yeah i watch him

he da goat

[gilded topaz]

literally everything

[modest dawn]

what episode r u on bro…

[open zealot]

😎

[open zealot]

episodes?

[normal grove]

I just peeped ur username 💔

[rapid crater]

** You are now Level 11! **

[modest dawn]

of the beginner or advanced scripting playlist

[modest dawn]

huh

what’s wrong with my username

[open zealot]

im on like the noob scripting playloist 😎

[modest dawn]

yes what episode

[modest dawn]

ur tryna do user input service and remote events when ur in the noob playlist

[normal grove]

What makes you untrusted

[modest dawn]

stop rushing urself and doing complicated stuff

[open zealot]

there isnt a noob playlist lol

[open zealot]

im noy

im not

trust

[modest dawn]

https://tenor.com/view/please7tv-please-beg-pray-hope-gif-3860103425950934673

[open zealot]

i try to learn what im typing ass i do it ykyk

[modest dawn]

Smartest individual

[modest dawn]

yeah we all start somewhere but

ur doing too complicated stuff

[normal grove]

Look into this too: https://create.roblox.com/docs/scripting/events/remote

[modest dawn]

slow down

Start doing simple stuff

not whole attack systems

[open zealot]

that isnt noob tho it says beginners

[open zealot]

its in

[modest dawn]

same thing

[open zealot]

the hitbox isnt tho

😎

[open zealot]

noob vs pro vs hackers

[normal grove]

Even after you make the hitbox part you realize ur gonna have to make the hit detection separately right

Unless you have a system for that you’re going to struggle with a damage handler

[open zealot]

oh yeah i made that once 😎

ngl

i made the hitbox on another game and it worked and it dealt dmg

but now idk why i cant

[modest dawn]

can’t u use workspace:GetPartsBoundInBox?

[open zealot]

do it

[rapid crater]

** You are now Level 6! **

[open zealot]

i can send vid

[modest dawn]

and then some other stuff

[normal grove]

Yes but they also need to add a debiunce and sanity checks

[modest dawn]

touched events can’t detect multiple players

[open zealot]

it can trust

[modest dawn]

well those things don’t count they are obvious

[modest dawn]

if you don’t add a cooldown and it just oneshots everyone then yes

[normal grove]

Maybe for people who have experience with scripting

[modest dawn]

ehhhh

ig

[normal grove]

I’m assuming this is their first time making a full combat system

[gilded topaz]

Not even an ig.People without experience just wouldn't know what sanity checking even is 😔

[modest dawn]

I saw this exact same system on a yt tutorial

[modest dawn]

sanity check isn’t that to check if it’s a plr humanoid it’s attacking

[open zealot]

cant you scale the dmg? and also there is a cooldown

[modest dawn]

just for no errors

common sense

[gilded topaz]

huh

[modest dawn]

isn’t that what a sanity check is

[normal grove]

Not exactly

[modest dawn]

What is it then

[normal grove]

Checks to prevent exploiting

[modest dawn]

oh

[normal grove]

Yes detecting the humanoid is part of it though

[modest dawn]

just don’t make ur stuff on local scripts

[gilded topaz]

A sanity check makes sure that information being sent from the client is accurate to what is happening in the server

[normal grove]

That won’t make your game hacker proof

Roblox gives full character control to the client

[modest dawn]

client

Exactly

[normal grove]

So they can spoof positions, movement, etc

[modest dawn]

well

true

I don’t think this guy needs the sanity checks tho

cuz he doesn’t even know how to

[normal grove]

Not now but definitely in the future

[modest dawn]

set variables right

[normal grove]

Fair point but you see what I mean right

[open zealot]

so... 😎

[normal grove]

We’re saying start from the basics

[modest dawn]

the lesson of the day is: start actually learning what ur doing instead of making this…

watch brawldev

he’s peak

if you do watch him

watch him more

[normal grove]

You can also look at Roblox docs or other scripts

See how things work

[gilded topaz]

^^^^^
The documentation is VERY important

[modest dawn]

I almost never use it lol

[open zealot]

and... 😎

[gilded topaz]

I can tell

[modest dawn]

oh!

lol

how so?

[gilded topaz]

magic

[normal grove]

Or you can follow another combat tutorial but it won’t help in the long run

[modest dawn]

cmon my scripting isn’t that bad…

[modest dawn]

too complicated for his skill level imo

u need modules and stuff

[open zealot]

what if i learn the basics but i dont remember the basics?

[gilded topaz]

Practice

[normal grove]

Bro you literally copy down what they type

[normal grove]

Literally this, it means ur not practicing enough

[modest dawn]

I thought u meant like learn from them

sorry

[normal grove]

U can’t remember stuff you don’t use

[open zealot]

no like i legit cant remember it for that long even with practice 😂

[modest dawn]

like what can’t u remember?

[normal grove]

Ur good bro but real talk barely anyone actually tries to learn from them

[gilded topaz]

Just experiment with the basics. You learn something new, try it out in studio. Learn its applications. Try out how it behaves with other things you've learned, etc

[normal grove]

Yeah and try to learn things one at a time

[modest dawn]

yeah bro it’s always the guys that that say “omg guys just move [insert enshitiffication script] here and there!”

[normal grove]

Too much can lead you to forget way easier

[open zealot]

basics only ones i know are like functions prints variables and ykyk skibidi toilet

[open zealot]

i do 👿

[normal grove]

Right but you need to understand Roblox studio too

Like you gotta know why there’s a replicated storage, server storage, etc

You’re putting a server side (I assume it is) hitbox in rep storage

[open zealot]

i had this one

this was the one that worked

idk why it wont work now

[gilded topaz]

There's plenty more basics to learn than these—just keep expanding your knowledge base and focus on application as well as theory

[open zealot]

okay

[rapid crater]

** You are now Level 5! **

[modest dawn]

yep btw you don’t just retain ur memories sometimes

There are days where u lock in so hard

It all just clicks

permanently

so just try ur best

[open zealot]

aigh

[modest dawn]

Kk bye

[warm wren]

if you anchor it, it wont move

use a weld constraint

[vague gazelle]

@open zealot

are you serious

??

ur using fricking position

use hitbox.CFrame

and also

use modules

for hitboxes
