Modifying Hitboxes

[Velindian]

Where/how would I edit things like the size of certain hitboxes on attacks?

[mhdt]

It's only can change HitTree ,for example,J_Striker_a second punch it's hard to hit PED with PLAYER Model ,then you can change the first punch so that the second punch can hit the PED

Code: [Select]


    for NPC,ped in {PedFindInAreaXYZ(0, 0, 0, 99999)} do
  if PedIsPlaying(gplayer, "/Global/J_Striker_A/Offense/Short/Strikes/LightAttacks", true) and not PedIsPlaying(gplayer, "/Global/J_Striker_A/Offense/Short/Strikes/LightAttacks/JAB/Elbow/HeavyAttacks", true) and PedGetWhoHitMeLast(ped) == gPlayer then
  if PedIsPlaying(ped, "/Global/HitTree/Standing/Melee/Generic/Straight/HEADJAB", true) then
PedSetActionNode(ped, "/Global/HitTree/Standing/Melee/Unique/SACKED/Front", "act/anim/HitTree.act")
  PedSetHealth(ped, PedGetHealth(ped) + 10 * PedGetDamageGivenMultiplier(gPlayer, 2))
  Wait(0)
  SoundStopCurrentSpeechEvent(ped)
  end
  end
end

The video below demonstrates the issue i'm trying to prevent.

I wanted to make fighting the preps more about baiting and countering their dodges, but a lot of the attacks in the P_Striker_B moveset have longer range than they should according to the visuals. These issues persist without them doing the dodges prior, and at any framerate. If there is a way to prevent this it'd be really helpful. even if it's impossible to modify the size of the hitboxes directly. A way to disable the hitbox if the player is a minimum distance away or something of similar effect would work too.

If allowed disable hitbox, you can clear the hit distance after being hit by Preppy at a certain distance so that Preppy  through you, but I don’t know the exact distance, so you have to test this number yourself.  (NUMBER)

Code: [Select]


  for NPC,ped in {PedFindInAreaXYZ(0, 0, 0, 99999)} do      
if PedIsValid(PedGetTargetPed(ped)) and (PedIsPlaying(ped"/Global/P_Striker_B/Offense/Short/Strikes/HeavyAttacks/Hook2", true) or PedIsPlaying(gplayer,"/Global/P_Striker_B/Offense/Short/Grapples/HeavyAttacks/Catch_Throw",true)) and DistanceBetweenPeds2D(PedGetTargetPed(ped), ped) >= NUMBER and PedIsHit(PedGetTargetPed(ped),true) then
      PedClearHitRecord(PedGetTargetPed(ped))

[Velindian]

So how/where do I put this in order to get it working? I just downloaded all the stuff for script modifying, but I have no idea where to start with something like this.

this is tutorial

[Velindian]

it's giving me
luac: luascript.lua:3: `end' expected (to close `if' at line 2) near `<eof>'
when trying to compile

edit: figured it out, but it doesn't seem to be working

    for NPC,ped in {PedFindInAreaXYZ(0, 0, 0, 99999)} do               
if PedIsValid(PedGetTargetPed(ped)) and (PedIsPlaying(ped"/Global/P_Striker_B/Offense/Short/Strikes/HeavyAttacks/Hook2", true) or PedIsPlaying(gplayer,"/Global/P_Striker_B/Offense/Short/Grapples/HeavyAttacks/Catch_Throw",true)) and DistanceBetweenPeds2D(PedGetTargetPed(ped), ped) >= 1 and PedIsHit(PedGetTargetPed(ped),true) then
            PedClearHitRecord(PedGetTargetPed(ped))
   end
end

[mhdt]

If not, you can change the pedcleanhitrecord command to PedSetActionNode(PedGetTargetPed(ped),"/Global","Act/Globals.act")

I decided to just try and give jimmy a dodge. However I'm not 100% certain how to make him do actions when a button is pressed.
If I could find  a Lua scripting tutorial for this kind of thing exactly it'd be helpful. all i ahve so far is somethin i pieced together from what i've read so far and reading a .lur file through HxD.

if PedGetTargetPed and BodyGuard and IsButtonPressed(7,0) then    LoadAnimationGroup("P_Grappler") ExecuteActionNode(gPlayer, "/Global/P_Grappler_A/Defense/Evade/EvadeBack/Evade", "Act/Anim/P_Grappler_A.act")

Pretty sure I'm missing some stuff though. Essentially I want jimmy to dodge when the Sprint button is pressed if the enemy is in an aggressive state and Jimmy is locked on.

Edit: now by using
  if IsButtonPressed(10,0) and IsButtonPressed(7,0) then
    LoadAnimationGroup("P_Striker") ExecuteActionNode(gPlayer, "/Global/P_Striker_B/Defense/Evade/EvadeBack/EvadeBack", "Globals/P_Striker_B.act")

I'm able to dodge, but now i just need to figure out how to disable it when not blocking, during grapples, while in hitstun, and while knocked down.

[mhdt]

Just add "PedMePlaying(gplayer,"Default_KEY") and not PedMePlaying(gplayer, "Block")"
ps: I don’t make sure that the Block player owns the node, I only know that this Block is genuine for Ped.

[Velindian]

It works now, but I want it to be doable during guard break as well. Also to only occur if the player is in combat since Jimmy now ducks every time he gives people a positive greeting.

[mhdt]

add

Code: [Select]

or (PedIsValid(PedGetTargetPed()) and (PedIsPlaying(PedGetTargetPed(), "/Global/P_Striker_B/Offense/Short/NonCombatActions/Taunts",true) or PedIsInCombat(PedGetTargetPed())))

[Velindian]

Tanks, I got it working using   

if PedMePlaying(gplayer,"Default_KEY") and not PedMePlaying(gplayer, "Block") and IsButtonPressed(10,0) and IsButtonPressed(7,0) and PedIsInCombat(PedGetTargetPed())then
