Update 1:
I’m trying to use RaycastHitboxV4 in ServerScriptService but every example I’ve seen has been a script in the workspace.
Server Code
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local signals = ReplicatedStorage.Signals
local remotes = signals.Remotes
local raycastHitbox = require(script.RaycastHitboxV4)
local playerCooldowns = {}
local humanoidsHit = {}
local cooldown = 0.75--will be changed because each tool has different cooldowns
local damage = 25
local Attack = {}
Attack.Init = function()
remotes.ToServer.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,signal,toolName)
local char = player.Character
local hum = char.Humanoid
if signal == "Trigger" then
local tool = char:FindFirstChild(toolName)
if tool then
if (playerCooldowns[player] and tick() - playerCooldowns[player] >= cooldown) or not playerCooldowns[player] then
playerCooldowns[player] = tick()
else
return
end
print("Successfully created")
local hitbox = raycastHitbox.new(tool.Hitbox)
local hitC = hitbox.OnHit:Connect(function(hit,humanoid)
print(hit,humanoid)
if humanoid == hum then return end
humanoid:TakeDamage(damage)
end)
print("Started")
hitbox:HitStart()
task.wait(cooldown)
hitbox:HitStop()
end
end
end)
end
return Attack
When I click and attempt to fire this event to the server nothing happens but started and successfully created both print so I think its something wrong with how I’m using RaycastHitbox.
Can you only put this module and any script requiring it inside of a tool?
Update 2:
New Code
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local signals = ReplicatedStorage.Signals
local remotes = signals.Remotes
local raycastHitbox = require(script.RaycastHitboxV4)
local playerHitboxes = {}
local playerConnections = {}
local playerCooldowns = {}
local humanoidsHit = {}
local cooldown = 0.75--will be changed because each tool has different cooldowns
local damage = 25
local Attack = {}
Attack.Init = function()
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
local hitbox
plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
local hum = char.Humanoid
char.ChildAdded:Connect(function(tool)
if tool:IsA("Tool") and tool:FindFirstChild("Hitbox") then
if not hitbox then hitbox = raycastHitbox.new(tool.Hitbox) end
local c1 = tool.Activated:Connect(function()
hitbox:HitStart()
task.wait(cooldown)
if hitbox then hitbox:HitStop() end
end)
local c2 = hitbox.OnHit:Connect(function(hit,humanoid)
if humanoid == hum then return end
humanoid:TakeDamage(damage)
end)
table.insert(playerConnections,c1)
table.insert(playerConnections,c2)
end
end)
char.ChildRemoved:Connect(function(tool)
if tool:IsA("Tool") and tool:FindFirstChild("Hitbox") then
for i,comp in ipairs(playerConnections) do
comp:Disconnect()
comp = nil
end
if hitbox then hitbox:Destroy() hitbox = nil end
end
end)
end)
end)
end
return Attack
So basically I removed firing to the server and made detection on the server.
There are multiple issues but my main one is that I can’t disconnect the OnHit event and I remember Swordphin saying he created something for the intended use of not disconnecting something so I’m not sure if I’m going in the right direction or not.
Update 3:
Ok all the fixes above I fixed but now I am back at bottom.
My current problem is that whenever I try to create a RaycastHitbox, the debug lines don’t show, the hitbox can’t be recognized in the code, and the hit detection doesn’t work.
I get random errors as well such as:
ServerStorage.Server.Attack.Melee:32: attempt to call missing method 'HitStop' of table
for _: number, point: Point in ipairs(ActiveHitboxes[i].HitboxRaycastPoints) do -- In the hitboxcaster
It mostly says HitStop and HitStart are missing methods.
It worked a while ago but I don’t know what I did to make it not work.
I checked through my past history but even in those past sessions when it did work, its not working anymore.
I don’t know what magical thing happened for this to change.
Code
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local signals = ReplicatedStorage.Signals
local unreliables = signals.Unreliables
local raycastHitbox = require(script.RaycastHitboxV4)
local infoSignaler = require(script.Parent.InfoSignaler)
local playerHitboxes = {}
local function reset(connections)
for _,comp in ipairs(connections) do
comp:Disconnect()
end
table.clear(connections)
return connections
end
local Melee = {}
Melee.Start = function(plr,tool,info,playerParams,plrConnections)
local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local root = char.HumanoidRootPart
local c1,c2
playerHitboxes[plr] = raycastHitbox.new(tool.Hitbox)
playerHitboxes[plr].RaycastParams = playerParams
c1 = tool.Activated:Connect(function()
playerHitboxes[plr]:HitStart()
task.wait(info.Cooldown)
playerHitboxes[plr]:HitStop()
end)
c2 = playerHitboxes[plr].OnHit:Connect(function(hit,humanoid)
local targetChar = hit.Parent
local targetRoot = targetChar.HumanoidRootPart
for _,player in Players:GetPlayers() do
local playerChar = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local playerRoot = playerChar.HumanoidRootPart
if (playerRoot.Position - tool.Hitbox.Position).Magnitude < 5e2 then
local returnedInfo = infoSignaler[tool.Name](tool)
unreliables.ToClient:FireClient(player,tool.Name.."FX",returnedInfo)
end
end
targetRoot.AssemblyLinearVelocity = ((targetRoot.Position - root.Position) * 25) + Vector3.new(0,50,0)
humanoid:TakeDamage(info.Damage)
end)
table.insert(plrConnections,c1)
table.insert(plrConnections,c2)
return plrConnections
end
Melee.End = function(plr,plrConnections)
if playerHitboxes[plr] then playerHitboxes[plr]:Destroy() table.clear(playerHitboxes[plr]) playerHitboxes[plr] = nil end
local resetConnections = reset(plrConnections)
return resetConnections
end
return Melee
I have another main module called attack above this one but it just starts and ends these when equipping and unequipping tools.
I also tried moving the playerHitboxes table to the parent attack module but it did the same thing.
