Combat system questions

[agile granite]

Hey, i'm currently making a battlegrounds game, but i have no clue where to start with making the combat system. Im not asking for you to make it for me, im just asking for someone to explain the basic steps so i know what to research.

I have made some combat systems and from my experience you need to learn how to make good hitboxes, remote events and combat animations if you want

You would also need to learn how to make an humanoid take damage and try your best to avoid exploits by adding checks if the damage value sent through the client is the one you want

done

pro skript

[jovial hound]

Yeah, and he would need to check if the damage value is the correct one to avoid exploiting

[spiral stag]

nah

trust the player

[jovial hound]

Lmao

[spiral stag]

trust is the basis for good community

[jovial hound]

Sure

[jovial hound]

Just like roblox did with ugcs

[spiral stag]

roblox deserved it

[jovial hound]

Yeah, roblox is stupid asf

[tawdry bison]

Very good idea... Also make sure all of the hitboxes are handled entirely client side

With no checks at all

[agile granite]

bro i spawned a debate in my forum

for hitboxes would that literally just be basic parts attached to the player?

[jovial hound]

No, it would be a better way other than using touched function

Lean how to use modulescripts in detail

then learn how to make a state machine

then you can start making abilities

if an ability is lag dependent use client hitboxes

but if it's say a giant AOE use server hitboxes
