Vfx scripting help

[eternal ingot]

I got this random image online.

If I code the hitbox will i have to clone a disc shape part or is there some kind of touch event for particle emitters?

cause what im concerned is there being a difference in the hitbox size and the particle growth. idk how to script it so the "disc" shaped hitbox having some kind of same area and position as the slash

Idg what u talking about bassicaly example if you clone an particle emitter with stats u need from server storage or whatever it will have its setting and the dirrection u can change

It can be based on the part or just based on itself

[eternal ingot]

no like a sword slash you have hitbox right

[daring crag]

Yes

[eternal ingot]

theres the vfx and the hitbox

[daring crag]

Just make an vfx and the hitbox apart

Thats hoe i do

Like

Spawn welded hitbox to your hrp or whatever and vfx in the hrp

[eternal ingot]

yes thats the problem what if the hitbox is too little do yall just keep tuning and adjusting it?

[daring crag]

Do you want your vfx be scaled relatively around the size of hitbox?

[eternal ingot]

yes

[daring crag]

There's a setting for making it smaller

Just adjust it

Make a copy in workspace of your vfx

And afjust to make it

If theres multiple then its pretty hard

But possible

Maybe theres a plugin for some of this

[eternal ingot]

i was hoping for some would really make it easier

i dont wanna be fine tuning every ability in a game

[daring crag]

Ooh

Like

Theres size

And just set it to small based on hitbox

Or set the size of your particles same as the hitbox

it may work with your particle

If its multiple then nit

[eternal ingot]

yeah.. ill do that its gonna be a bit tedious

have u used any of these? which would u recommend

[daring crag]

I use the basic ones idk what the hell is this dawg

This is complicated but might be better

I just make a vfx in the player(clone and place) and weld a instance.new part to the player

I’d recommend HitBoxClass. I’ve looked through both community posts and I’ve found that HitboxClass is more flexible with a variety of objects, like weapons, projectiles, and velocity tracing.

ShapecastHitbox on the other hand mentions how the system has limitations that it includes. ShapecastHitbox also has typechecking errors, in which HitboxClass does not.

So not only is ShapecastHitbox less flexible working with, but it’s also harder to use because of the type checking errors that it has. HitboxClass has a multitude of properties that makes it easier to use in a variety of classes, but it also has no type checking errors, so theoretically, it should be more easier to use.
