I`m making this zombie infection game which is now gonna use hitboxes. i did manage to make the system, but the clones keep going through the walls through some sort of glitch. does someone know who can fix this?

Is it this yours one: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/703706995/ so we can check what is causing it?

yes

define 
switch costume to [ hitbox]

if <<touching [ sprite 2] ?>> then
move (  -2) steps
end

Found it! The enemy movement function needs to be used everytime right after it takes a step and not be in the animation loop:

...
if <(Walk 2) = (1)> then
move (1) steps
enemy movement
end
...
define enemy movement
...

thx!

its still not showing the animation loop tho. plus, it sometimes goes straight through the walls.

I didn't make it very clear, the script is a bit long, but it the enemy movement function needs to be removed from there:

Define (enemy movementsteps :: stack #e35) :: hat #e57
switch costume to [hitbox v]
if <touching [Sprite 2nv] ?> then
move (-2) steps
end
when I start as a clone
hide
forever
enemy movement :: #e35 // needs to be removed
switch costume to [costume 10 v]
wait (0.05) secs
enemy movement :: #e35 // needs to be removed
switch costume to [costume 5 v]
wait (0.05) secs
enemy movement :: #e35 // needs to be removed
switch costume to [costume 6 v]
wait (0.05) secs
enemy movement :: #e35 // needs to be removed
switch costume to [costume 7 v]
wait (0.05) secs
enemy movement :: #e35 // needs to be removed
switch costume to [costume 8v]
wait (0.05) secs
end

Ok, i'll try this.

well i tried it but, when theyanimate, they flas from the hitbox to the animation loop

I see. When I tested it I was only in civilian sprite and now I found also first one being zombie sprite.
They are flashing because the hitbox costume didn't set back to normal, which can be done just editing my block in both sprites:

enemy movement (costume [name v] :: looks) :: #e35
Define (enemy movement (costume :: #e57) :: stack #e35) :: hat #e57
switch costume to [hitbox v]
if <touching [Sprite2 v]> then
move (-2) steps
end
switch costume to (costume :: #e57)

the hitbox worked. they just sometimes clip through the wall now. thx by the way.

Aaah sorry I forgot to also memtion that it's important for the hitbox as costume to be centered horizontaly, because when they turn other side to go away thier hitbox will appear inside building and they will be stepping back, but into the building.

Ok thx.

when I start as a clone
create clone of [ v]
delete this clone

thats how you break scratch
