GetPartBoundsInBox Hitbox System Not working

[AlexiSanchezReal (DHNFJNSDDSA)]

I am trying to create a hitbox system for my game, I have tried using the GetPartBoundsInBox method of hitbox but. It didn’t work.

here is the code:

local function Hitbox(damage)
		local hitbox = Instance.new("Part")
		hitbox.Anchored = false
		hitbox.CanCollide = false
		hitbox.CanQuery = false
		hitbox.CanTouch = false
		hitbox.CFrame = CFrame.new(0, 5, 0)
		hitbox.Size = Vector3.new(5, 5, 5)
		hitbox.Transparency = 0.5


		local weld = Instance.new("Weld")
		weld.Part0 = hitbox
		weld.Part1 = hrp
		weld.C0 = CFrame.new(0, 0, 4)
		weld.Parent = hitbox
		hitbox.Position = hrp.Position
		hitbox.Parent = character
		
		local parts = workspace:GetPartBoundsInBox(CFrame.new(0, 5, 0), Vector3.new(5, 5, 5))

		local hitCharacters = {}
		for i,part in pairs(parts) do
			if part.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid") and not table.find(hitCharacters, part.Parent) then
				table.insert(hitCharacters, part.Parent)
				part.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid"):TakeDamage(30)
			end
		end
		
		game.Debris:AddItem(hitbox, 0.5)
	end

That’s because the HitBox position you’re specifying in GetPartsBoundsInBox is not the accurate position. You’re welding the hitbox to the character, meaning it moves, so thus you need to reflect that in GetPartBoundsInBox.

So, make sure it’s workspace:GetPartBoundsInBox(hitbox.CFrame, Vector3.new(5,5,5))

Second, you’re only running this method once. Can I see the whole code here?

The code is pretty big. I call the Hitbox function in my Dash() function here:

local function Dash(signal: string, animation)
		animation:GetMarkerReachedSignal(signal):Connect(function()
			delay(0.5, function()
				local LV = Instance.new("LinearVelocity")
				LV.Attachment0 = hrp.RootAttachment
				LV.MaxForce = 100000
				LV.RelativeTo = Enum.ActuatorRelativeTo.Attachment0
				LV.VectorVelocity = Vector3.new(0, 0, -75)
				LV.Parent = hrp
				
				delay(0.1, function()
					Hitbox()
				end)
			
				game.Debris:AddItem(LV, 0.1)
			end)
			
			div_fist_particle_1.Parent = character["Right Arm"]
			div_fist_particle_2.Parent = character["Right Arm"]

			game.Debris:AddItem(div_fist_particle_1, 0.8)
			game.Debris:AddItem(div_fist_particle_2, 0.8)
		end)
	end

Ok, I added the workspace:GetPartBoundsInBox(hitbox.CFrame, Vector3.new(5,5,5)) into my code. Now it damages me, but not the enemy.

Well, that’s something. First, make sure to check that the humanoid isn’t your character’s humanoid. Second, print out the results of GetPartBoundsInBox so you can see what’s being found.
