How would i go about making a sword hitbox.
I have a model attached to player via motor6d, but what would be the beast way to make a hitbox system.
Ive tried :Touched, yet its not reliant, :GetPartsInPart glitches and every once in a while one shots. Can someone point me into a direction or demonstrate some code.
I’ll be honest Im not the best with hitboxes but what’s so glitchy about the touched event?
Its apparently semi ping reliant, and just isnt the best for registering hitboxes
Don’t use .Touched it is inconsistency because it relies on ping and Roblox physic
Instead use :GetPartBoundsInBox() or :GetPartInPart()
in this case I’ll use :GetPartBoundsInBox()
Note that you don’t really need to create a physical part for a hitbox for it to work I just want thing easy
function CreateHitbox()
local Hitbox = Instance.new("Part") -- from this
if VisualizeHitbox then
Hitbox.Transparency = .5
else
Hitbox.Transparency = 1
end
Hitbox.CanCollide = false
Hitbox.CanTouch = true
Hitbox.CanQuery = false
Hitbox.Anchored = true
Hitbox.Size = Vector3.new(5,5,5)
Hitbox.CFrame = Dummy.PrimaryPart.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,0,-2)
Hitbox.Parent = Dummy -- to this isn't nesessary I just make it easy to control the size of the actual hitbox and also visualize it
local Enemy = workspace:GetPartBoundsInBox(Hitbox.CFrame, Hitbox.Size) -- get everypart inside a box (In this case the hitbox we just create, I told you it will be easier this way)
for i, v in pairs(Enemy) do -- run a loop through the part that is inside the box
local Char = v.Parent
if not Char or Char == Dummy then continue end -- exclude itself
if table.find(Hit, Char) then continue end -- check if the character is already been hit
local Hum = Char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if not Hum then continue end -- check if it has humanoid
if Hum.Health <= 0 then continue end -- don't hit the dead thing
local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Char)
if not Player then continue end -- this is unnesessary I just don't want the npc to hit other thing than player
-- deal damage
table.insert(Hit, Char) -- insert the character that has been hit into the table for check later
end
Debris:AddItem(Hitbox, 0.3) -- delete the hitbox
end
then after the animation end use table.clear(Hit) to reset the list so it can be hit later
Unless you want players to see a hitbox I suggest using raycasts.
Simply fire a raycast to every player in the game and see if a player is in the range. GetPartBoundsInBox can also be used like @Nami11255 demonstrated however I would prefer using raycasts due to its simplicity. The choice is ultimately yours.
