Help With MAKING a SWORD using RAYCASTHITBOX

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

In case you didn’t know the module that I’m referring to: Raycast Hitbox 4.01: For all your melee needs! - #521 by TeamSwordphin

How would you make a functioning sword that is reliable with this module? I tried doing this method, firing the remote from a local script inside a sword. However, it does not work, and I think I found the reason.

Even tho I passed in the ignore argument in local RaycastHitBox:Initialize(handle, dontDamage), the newHitBox.OnHit still fires, picking up the humanoid that is told to be ignored, then not allowing any other humanoids to be detected as it can only damage one humanoid at a time. When I take out the ignore argument, the newHitBox.OnHit actually fires, which it does not when the ignore argument is left in RaycastHitbox:Initialize.

I also noticed when I put the sword in starter pack, some reason the issue is solved, or if I give the player the sword early on in the game, like 20 seconds in (not when the player is added)

Help would be appreciated I am struggling greatly with this issue

Have you put prints in to confirm the logic flows as you expect?

#3

Found the issue, it is whenever the HumanoidRootPart.Position is changed to teleport the players down to the map. It casts the rays not at the handles position but the last y co-ordinate of the player. How would I get around this?

#4

If the ray cast is being done in the module script you could either try changing the code there or contact the originator of the module.

#5

The problem is that the sword works fine, UNTIL I change the Characters (which is using the sword) HumanoidRootPart.position. Is there a better way of teleporting players that i do not know of?

#6

use CFrame, never position for player teleporting. 30 letters

So set the CFrame of the HumanoidRootPart, when teleporting players?

#8

HRP.CFrame = Part.CFrame yes
