yall idk how to make hitboxes i need help

here's the basic idea:

doing this will make the part of the sprite that actually collides with surroundings the “hitbox” costume, rather than the original costume

Thanks

ametrine_ is correct, however i would put the hiding, showing, and hitbox detection code in its own custom block set to “run without screen refresh” because you don't want it to flash the hitbox costume.

this DOES work, but you can also do

Edit: Please note I have not tested this yet.

you only need to do this if there's any blocks that wait until the next frame before progressing the code

this works, but you have to make the hitbox sprite behind the sprite it's hitboxing (so its goes to the other sprite after it moves)

it will not flash the costume unless you have a repeat loop in there as each loop lasts 1 frame

it wouldn't be slow because there's a lot of code, but instead because its all happening each frame. even if you removed the stuff it would be the same speed (if this stuff didn't affect your fps)
it will not flash, even if you put a hide and show at each end of the script

some code for an attack fill custom blocks with switch costumes and pause blocks with no spaces also

Thank

what I do is make a separate sprite, set ghost to 100 and make it go to the player controlled sprite. Then whenever the sprite is touched by anything damaging, it broadcasts a message, which the player controlled sprite picks up and starts the “damage” sequence of code


hitbox code

player controlled code
