Hitboxes

Does anyone have a working explanation of what a hitbox is? If I am interpreting it correctly, it is the gamespace regulated and controlled by a specific object or model. According to that, rocks and trees would also have their own hitboxes, which would regulate when and where a collision could occur, i.e. the hitbox is what the player runs into in a collision, not the actual tree model itself. However, on an actual player unit such as a Spartan, the hitboxes would also control what projectiles are registered in-game as a 'hit', meaning that a projectile must hit the hitbox instead of the model to count as a hit. This object domain space would be similar to the physics tags developed for vehicles to allow for environmental collisions instead of just passing right through an object. If so, then these hitboxes could have gaps in their design, which is what allows the projectiles and grenades to pass through.

Now this is just my theory; I could be wrong. I am wondering what exactly a hitbox is, and if we can get a working definition of it, then perhaps we should make it a page.   ΘяɪɸɴF22    Me    Talk    Contributions    CAG   19:21, December 17, 2009 (UTC)

You pretty much summarise the definition of a HitBox. :P --Lol@Phailure 20:25, December 17, 2009 (UTC)

Oh. Awesome. Thanks. Nice signature, by the way haha.   ΘяɪɸɴF22    Me    Talk    Contributions    CAG   20:27, December 17, 2009 (UTC)

Damn, forgot to update the sig. Yea, part of a sociological experiment. XD

That's one massive signature...--Lol@Phailure 20:29, December 17, 2009 (UTC)

Sure is. It's actually inspired from one of General5 7's old signatures. I like its style and compactness, even though the script for it is enormous. Also, this will probably be deleted, since this is socializing on a talk page and is not allowed. If it isn't deleted soon, I'll probably come back and delete it myself. I'll make the hitbox page soon. Which category do you believe it belongs in?  ΘяɪɸɴF22    Me    Talk    Contributions    CAG   20:33, December 17, 2009 (UTC)

Bend the rules... XD

An article on Hitbox has been created ages ago.外国人^(7alk) 20:36, December 17, 2009 (UTC)

Well what do you know. I'll have to check it out then and link it to this article.   ΘяɪɸɴF22    Me    Talk    Contributions    CAG   20:39, December 17, 2009 (UTC)
