Help with combat system

[Onoille]

I want to do a combat system.

I don’t know whats the best way to detect hits, I wanted to try ray casting, but idk if I should use it for a combat system.

It depends on what type of combat system you’re thinking of really. The post is a bit vague as to what you want to do in terms of a combat system. Raycast can be useful in its own regards. An example would be making it so a punch will hurt someone if the thing you’re trying to punch is close enough, you can do that with Raycasting. Another obvious example are guns, they require Raycasting

I just want a combat system, to be like a naruto themed combat system, sobasically quick combos, attacks like rasengan and things like that

Something like that will be fairly advanced to make as that will require a lot of animating, coding for the combos and conditions to check if you can use this ability, etc. I don’t believe Raycasting will help in this regard besides the punching and kicking, as the other moves that use a projectile will require using the Touched event to detect if something other than yourself hit the projectile and do something.

I’m not that experienced with something like this so I’m not sure if I’m giving the right advice

Made a post before on this

I want to make a PROPER combat system, but what's the best approach?

Kind of late but I would like to add that you can completely avoid debounce exploits by hosting debounces on server side, to accomplish this you would create a dictionary of players that get registered once they join the game and assign a certain debounce value. What this does is it creates this circumstance where firing many remote events doesn’t matter, moreover just an idiotic move from a exploiter if he does. I have implemented debounce in my combat mechanic test place, where i have got this…

EDIT: Also would like to add this to my post that the best way to actually detecting hits would be Region3 around the player (one i have done personally) or magnitude checking to see if player is in the vicinity of the other player.

Detecting combo’s should be done with the client sending in input information to the server where, lets for say this was a mouse click combat system then you would go about recording input clicks such as “LLLR” If a player successively does these clicks (keep in mind this check should be done server side) then it can initiate a combo
