How do i make a smooth hitbox trail using instances.new

[fallen gulch]

I made a instance but i need to like make it where i can clone more hitboxes with a delay that spawns each 0.4 seconds and when it hits a humanoid it destory itself snd future instances parts

[safe ether]

Are you using client sided hitboxes?

[fallen gulch]

Im making it where i use a cilent to press mouse that does a remote event then makes the hitbox

But in tryn make it where it can do a trIl

Trail

[safe ether]

The latency you’re experiencing is from the remote event. I recommend making the hitbox on the client.

However, it can be exploitable, but because you are a beginner I won’t bore you with how to do server checking.

[fallen gulch]

Like

Im trying to do a hitbox like item asyulm

[safe ether]

If you want it to be fast make the hitbox on the client

[fallen gulch]

Alright

[potent spindle]

Look into runservice

[marble rose]

Won't making it on a client make other players not see it?

The client*

[fallen gulch]

Thats what i thought

[marble rose]

Does anyone have an answer then?

[fallen gulch]

Im tryna make it like item asyulm

Where the target takes dmg

[marble rose]

Yea ik

I saw the chat

[fallen gulch]

We will just wait for an answer

[marble rose]

Ok

[potent spindle]

Well it will?

And i recommend runservice and you can actually see it on the server too

[safe ether]

It’s not needed

[safe ether]

It doesn’t work like that

Well maybe

[marble rose]

I don't think it does

[young zephyr]

** You are now Level 1! **

[marble rose]

So they WILL see it and get affected?

[potent spindle]

Uhh doesnt trails work work with runservice

[marble rose]

Yea but

It won't be seen on the server I think

[marble rose]

Right?? 😭😭

[potent spindle]

Na

[safe ether]

The issue I think he’s having is hitbox latency

You can just make the hitbox on the client then send whatever parts you hit to the server

[marble rose]

Wym whatever parts I hit?

[potent spindle]

Itll still work fine on the server

[safe ether]

It would, but latency would be a nightmare

[fallen gulch]

How about the forsakenbhitbox

[marble rose]

Yea

[safe ether]

Huh?

[marble rose]

The hitbox in the game forsaken. It's so clean for some reason

[safe ether]

Cus it’s on the client

[potent spindle]

U still have to use a remote event right

[safe ether]

Yes

[marble rose]

But u said there was latency?

[safe ether]

But the hitbox logic is on the client

[marble rose]

Use it for what?

[safe ether]

Send whatever parts the hitbox hit to the server

[marble rose]

Wym?

[safe ether]

[marble rose]

We just break the loop right?

[safe ether]

Cuh it’s not that hard

[marble rose]

🙁

[marble rose]

The hitbox hit the limbs right?? I don't understand what u mean. Like, we give dmg and knock back or whatever on the client right? What do we use the server for?

ok I'll shut up

[young zephyr]

** You are now Level 2! **

[wraith elm]

you cant give damage on the client..

[young zephyr]

** You are now Level 1! **

[marble rose]

OHHH SO THAT'S WHY.

[marble rose]

THANKS MAN

I'm a hobbyist sorry

[wraith elm]

why did you think that health was clientsided-
actually dm me if u have more questions id be happy to help, just dont flood this thread

[marble rose]

Thanks again!

[safe ether]

The only reason you create the hitbox on the client is to reduce latency

[potent spindle]

Cant you?

[wraith elm]

the default humanoid health is handled on the server, and any custom health system that is not handled on the server would be utter dogwater

[fallen gulch]

But like im trying to make it where i clone the hitbox more times

[young zephyr]

** You are now Level 2! **

[wraith elm]

whats your current script setup? also i was referring to the other guy in that message

[fallen gulch]

Its just a instance and the settings to customize it

Just the basic

And a thing thats make it where if it collides with player they take dmg

But when i use shiftlock and rotate the camera when cloning hitbox and hit humanoid

It dont take the dmg

So thats why I make a hitbox system where it clones the hitbox more

So it can actually hit player

[wraith elm]

is it a local script or a normal script?

[fallen gulch]

Its a local script doing a event then script

Ive seen games use a module for the hitbox tho

[potent spindle]

Arent you making an trail

[fallen gulch]

Yea

https://tenor.com/view/forsaken-behead-jason-hitbox-dusekkar-gif-8939751987650937932

Like this

[potent spindle]

ok then send your current script

[fallen gulch]

The local or server script

[safe ether]

Both

[fallen gulch]

Im not home but i can explain how i coded it

[safe ether]

Client creates the hitbox -> Server receives the hitbox data, checks if the hitbox can be possible, then dose whatever it needs to do. In between that system it would create a fake hitbox (the red boxes) to visualize what the client saw.

If you want me to send a client hitbox validation script I could

[fallen gulch]

Please

So i can test it out later

[potent spindle]

explain how u coded it

maybe

[safe ether]

The hitbox server validation script is kinda complicated

It uses snap-shooting + ping compensation

[fallen gulch]

So what i did for the local script i did getmouse then i use that to make a mouse left button down to fireserver and print a m1 then the server would get the event and create the hitbox usjng a instance and scans for any players by but the problem i had was it had to be very close to player to take dmg. So im trying to make it where the hitbox is created it scans untill the hitbox destory and when the hitbox hits player it destorys future hitboxes and takes dmg to target

Sorry for ass grammar

[potent spindle]

how are you scanning for uh the players?

[fallen gulch]

I think it was like a filter

[safe ether]

1. You don’t need to use an object, you can just use workspace:GetPartsInBounds()

2. The hitbox is created on the server, not the client.

3. GetMouse is technically outdated, use UserInputService

[fallen gulch]

But how do i make where it clones more each milsec something like that

[fallen gulch]

What does the getpsrtsinbound mean

[safe ether]

Instead of using an object you can use use a position and size

Like a fake object

[potent spindle]

It creates an cube which checks for collisions inside its radius

and returns an array of the colliding parts

[fallen gulch]

Ill try to use these tips when i get on studios and give feedback

Is that find

Fine

[potent spindle]

It is

[foggy knot]

Why would you want that?

Personally I make a hitbox on the server and weld it to the player so it has no latency when moving. Though I might make it a local script sometime for better responsiveness

[safe ether]

It would still have latency

[potent spindle]

did you test it?

[fallen gulch]

Im tryna make it like this

[young zephyr]

** You are now Level 3! **

[fallen gulch]

https://youtu.be/cVI1caT7CiI?si=Kf1kH_b0Jj4ZFWhI

[fallen gulch]

No because im not home

[foggy knot]

It does but it doesn't have latency because of moving players server side

But yeah it still has latency playing as a player

[safe ether]

I mean between the remote event firing and the server receiving it

[foggy knot]

👍

[fallen gulch]

I feel like making the hitbox on modules

But modules is confusing as hell

[foggy knot]

It'd still have some latency

No matter what

And it doesn't really matter if you use modules or not in this case Imo

[fallen gulch]

I dont even care about abojt the latency

I just need to learn how to make a hitbox trail

[potent spindle]

with twenservice

[fallen gulch]

What about cframe

[foggy knot]

You could make it so when the animation starts it makes a hitbox every 0.3 seconds or whatever and loop it until animationTrack ended

[fallen gulch]

I CAN do that but how do i get it to cancel the other hitboxes that are gonna create when hitting the target

[foggy knot]

Hmm actually it might be smart using modules in this case

But initially more functions

[fallen gulch]

Also

What if i dont want to do the animation

And do a custom variable that creates hitboxes in that duration

[foggy knot]

You'd still have the same problem

[potent spindle]

then you use runservices events

[foggy knot]

Actually nvm Idk

[fallen gulch]

How

[potent spindle]

send the script when ur home

[foggy knot]

Wdym how?

You could still hit a player more times in 1 attack

[fallen gulch]

Im getting confused on this part

[stuck dove]

all you need is send the hit info that was calculated on the client to server

so server verifies the action happend in roughly that area

and if it was valid execute the action

there are also systems where the client executes and displays the action immediately but those are harder to code

as you may need to rollback changes when discrepencies happen
