I am making a anime fighting game, It will use swords, fists, ect. What I have a problem with is figuring out what I would use for hitboxes. Ive thought about overlap params, or raycasting. But I don’t think those would work well. Does anyone have any ideas?

raycast hitbox since it used by many popular pvp games

You could just use magnitude and just use the dot product to check whether the player is in front of them to deal damage

A great hitbox type you could use for AOE type moves is definitely overlap params and it’s super simple to plug into your code
