What I need
I am trying to create a weapon using just the character where the player headbutts another player and damages them. I’m looking for scripting ideas on how and what I can use to achieve this.
Here is the animation
What I have done
In the game, the player’s head starts off very tiny so I can’t use the head to detect if it hits a player because it will never reach(I don’t think maybe it will? I tried and it didn’t work maybe there’s another way). I tried shooting rays out of the character root part and then detecting a player and their mag then damaging them but it was very inconsistent. At this point, I was just going to give up on the idea but I figure I ask others and see if anyone else has any ideas. Maybe rays are the way to go?
I am no expert on this so correct me if I’m wrong. You could try to add a custom hitbox where the head would be and detect when the hitbox hits another player. I don’t know a way to do this, however.
I’ve never really had any experience with this, but I’d suggest doing a region3 directly in front of the player and checking if there’s any players in it when you do the animation. Give it a try and see if it works?
When the animation plays get the rotation of the head. Then get the position of the humanoidrootpart. Make a cframe using those 2 compenents multiply that cframe by (0,2,0) so the origin of the ray is now the same as a regular head with that animation. Then just cast the ray from that position forward.
Another way of getting the position of a regularly sized head would be to get the unit vector from the rootpart to the head and multiply that by 2. Then cast the ray from there forward.
