I made a multi-hitbox system for my game and i’m trying to fix the hitbox latency. I’ve seen things on youtube that say how to fix latency and they are simple and work, but a thing they all share is that they all are using a single hitbox. My system creates a bunch of hitboxes during the attack animation for more accurate hitboxes if the person were to turn around or something along those lines.
Here’s the code I’m using for the hitbox system (dont get scared off only like 5 lines are important)
client:
local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local Remotes = RS:WaitForChild("Remotes")
local m1Event = Remotes:WaitForChild("M1Event")
local tool = script.Parent
local originalName = tool.Name
local animation = tool:WaitForChild("AttackAnimation")
local equipped = false
local db = false
local cd = 2
local damage = 10
local size = Vector3.new(5,5,5)
local offset = Vector3.new(0, 0, -3.5)
local startup = 0
local Time = 1
local increment = 0.05
local function coolDown(duration)
duration *= 10
for i = duration, 1, -1 do
if (i/10) % 1 == 0 then
tool.Name = tostring(i / 10).. ".0" -- int
else
tool.Name = tostring(i / 10) -- float
end
task.wait(0.1)
end
tool.Name = originalName
end
UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gpe)
if gpe or db or not equipped then return end
if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
print("input detected")
db = true
m1Event:FireServer(damage, size, offset, startup, Time, increment, animation)
coolDown(cd)
db = false
end
end)
tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
equipped = true
end)
tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
equipped = false
end)
server:
local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Remotes = RS:WaitForChild("Remotes")
local m1Event = Remotes:WaitForChild("M1Event")
local function createHitbox(damage, size, offset, hrp, hitboxes, touchedTable)
local hitbox = Instance.new("Part")
hitbox.CanCollide = false
hitbox.Transparency = 0.75
hitbox.Size = size
hitbox.Parent = workspace.Game.Debris
hitbox.CFrame = hrp.CFrame * CFrame.new(offset)
hitbox.Anchored = true
table.insert(hitboxes, hitbox)
local touchedParts = workspace:GetPartBoundsInBox(hitbox.CFrame, hitbox.Size)
for i, part in touchedParts do
table.insert(touchedTable, part)
end
end
m1Event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, damage, size, offset, startup, Time, increment, animation)
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local hrp = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
if animation then
local animator = humanoid:WaitForChild("Animator")
local aniamtionTrack = humanoid:LoadAnimation(animation)
aniamtionTrack:Play()
end
task.wait(startup) -- startup time
local hitboxes = {}
local touchedParts = {}
local damagedPlayers = {}
local breakLoop = false
for i = 1, math.floor(Time / increment), 1 do
createHitbox(damage, size, offset, hrp, hitboxes, touchedParts)
for i, part in touchedParts do
if table.find(hitboxes, hitboxes[part]) or table.find(damagedPlayers, damagedPlayers[part.Parent.Name]) or not part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
table.remove(touchedParts, touchedParts[part]) -- removes hitboxes, non-charcater objects, and anything already damaged
else
if part.Name == "playerHitbox" and part.Parent.Name ~= character.Name then
table.insert(damagedPlayers, part.Parent.Name)
part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid"):TakeDamage(damage)
breakLoop = true -- once hit it will stop casting the hitboxes
end
end
end
table.clear(touchedParts)
task.wait(increment)
if breakLoop then break end
end
for i, hitbox in hitboxes do
hitbox:Destroy()
end
end)
If anybody can find out how to fix latency with this, please tell me as i’m kinda stumped. Any and all help is greatly appreciated and thanks in advance if you try to tackle this issue!
