So how would you make hitboxes on a char how big or little and something simular to tekken (i dont want to to be like tekken yet but just wanna no how to make it.) becuase tekken has so many techinical things about it how you can do things like tech rolls, juggles, countering , and mainly dodging becuase lets say if you were fighting someone and they tried to do a high kick your low would "dodge" his high kick and you still inflict dmg on them.

You provided absolutely no information for anyone to help you. For starters, what language or engine is this in? Game Maker Language? ActionScript 3?

lol becuase i wasnt making in any particualr language although since i have game maker gml. but if you wouldnt mind i would like to see the others.

every function is different depending on the language.

there are many many ways to make different things happen in each language

assuming you were using a language like as3 (excuse me if im wrong about any of what i write next, ive had limited experience with as3) , you could have the function that makes an attack happen store an integer in a variable on the fly, and this variable would dictate the attack type - for example the attack() function is called and then another variable, attacktype is assigned a number which can be read by the program to dictate the type of attack we are doing

if the other player then uses a "counter" or "block", which would be indicated to the game engine by a similar integer-variable system, and a listener function you set up determines that the two hitboxes which you drew up in programming earlier in fact intersected - i.e. one players attack hit anothers block, you could cause the program to take the action of stopping the animation, playing some sort of animation to indicate that the attack was blocked, and then taking no further action

however, if the player was not blocking you would simply have the attack run its course and do a % of hp damage

since we are deciding between two things here, it would be best to use an if/else block to follow the attack through its course and make decisions appropriately


keep in mind this is just one example! programming itself is an abstract concept - there are no set "guidelines" or pre-programmed blocks of code to do specific things, there are a million and one different ways to program the same result.

Or pretend you're ZUN and put a tiny round hitbox in the center of your character.
