hitboxes

[crude warren]

i wanted to script a sword just to practice but im not sure how games usually do hitboxes, is it just one big hitbox usually or a bunch of smaller ones?

[glacial palm]

people mostly use client sided hitboxes but i do server sided hitboxes (dont know how to do client sided yet)

[crude warren]

wdym client sided hitboxes? arent these not safe

[glacial palm]

people say theyre safe

they recheck what happens with the hitbox n stuff on the server side

to detect cheats and other things

[zealous lava]

you just check if the hitbox's size hasn't been changed

on the client

and you check for how far the player is from the target

and dont make it to small cuz it affects high ping plauers

[zealous lava]

they are, and ghost almost always if you're 100+ ms
