How Hitboxes Work in Video Games
Ойындар
From Street Fighter to Demon's Souls you have probably heard or seen some impassioned game enthusiasts ranting about hitboxes but have you ever stopped to think about how they really work?
While conceptually hitboxes are pretty simple there are some factors when discussing collisions in games that get misconstrued all the time. Especially when it comes to understanding how damage works in a game.
Further complicating things, terms like hitbox and hurtbox are sometimes used interchangeably and are often even confused with bounding boxes which are generally for detecting physics, not damage.
Well, don't worry friend. We are here to help shed a little light on the subject and trade some knowledgeable blows when it comes to understanding how hitboxes work in a video game.
Thanks for watching!

“Projectiles” vs “hit scan”
Yo i love these!
I miss the dailies, but I'm loving this format all the same.

This is wonderful stuff. Keep it up!
I want you to know I love this new direction for the channel. Keep up the good work guys.
I'm really loving this series! Please, keep them coming! I'm learning so much!
My valentine cards will say: I’d like to hitbox your hurtbox
I'm glad that even though IG has been discontinued or disssolved or whatever, there are still videos coming out on the channel. I enjoy getting news and documentaries, and I really like the people who made them. So this is great. :D
As a technological luddite, this was super fascinating and insightful! Thank you!
Really good job on explaining it clearly and on getting the footage. After a few of these, it could be a good idea to make a Part 2 for some of the topics (this one included)
Didn’t know any of this. Glad you guys made a video on it! Great job!
These info videos are really quite good. Keep them up!
Love these videos, Zack, keep it up
All of these vids have been super insightful!
Love these! Keep up the great work!
great video! good amount of detail, not confusing, clear language. Love it Zach!
I love videos like this. I know next to nothing about video game development so it's an interesting topic.
Loving this new series
Zack! I love you sir ! Keep inside gaming alive!!!
Miss you guys and the whole inside gaming daily team
Excellent video
This is awesome. Keep it up.
I need a hitscan one, next. In commentaries for Halo MCC, the developers talked about it and the differences between the generations of the same weapon. Went over my head haha
as a lover of fighting games this was lovely I hope you do more
More videos like this please!
Awesome! Great content, thank you!
Very informative, thank you.
love these! wonder why they're only coming out now?
Great video :)
Inside Gaming attempting a Core-A-Gaming video?
This was great
Kinda digging these.
Honestly I love this new direction, I found the dailies to get annoying because half of the time it wasn’t even gaming news it was really terrible jokes, this is just straight forward and fast
👍 for the collision pun
This was dope
My favorite hitbox/hurtbox anecdote is that the hitbox for Pac-Man and the four ghosts is just a single pixel in their center. Those hitbox pixels some times don’t overlap, resulting in Pac-Man passing harmlessly through the ghost.
There's hitboxes and then there's the Plesioth's hip check.
haha thank you, great video!
pretty cool
Wonder if they'll do something on Collision meshes. The horror that is Fallout 3 and New Vegas collision meshes is a whole thing. I mean the collision mesh for a mannequin stand is ENOURMOUS compared to the object itself
Remember the daily?
Definitely need something on hit scanning.
I’m more confused than I was before... So a “Hitbox” is around the weapon, and a “Hurtbox” is around the character?
These are like Techquicky but about video games . Noice !
I thought some weapons in games are hit scans whereas other weapons have hitboxes.
The Many ways to make Hit box and hurt boxes to work 1. Hit scane 2. Trigger box's I'm sure the are more ways.
What about the hiboxes to pick up items? In some games are the wrost.
Hit boxes should be COMPLETELY accurate, period. the exact geometry of the body.
I use socket collision.
Man, this is looking just like a Core A vid
These are great!!

Can Hotboxes can be at Vector level?

When your explaining that your not hacking show them this video
Unless you are Battlefield and you don't have hitscan.
TIL that Hurt Boxes are a thing. So much I dont know about my favorite medium.

Rooster Teeth, what are you doing with this channel? I don't get it.
... but a hitbox for 1 player is a hurtbox for their opponent...

But hitboxes only do damage during an "attack". In the example of the 2s fighting games in this video, the two character boxes touching each other does nothing to either one. One box has to be "red" - in attack mode; during a punch or kick - to deal damage to a "blue" box on the opponent, if it connects. Like vehicles in games like Warzone or Battlefield, you don't die if you touch them, you only die if they hit you with significant speed. So at some point these hit and/or hurt boxes has to change values or properties. Furthermore, i think "collision box" or something to the like has a place here to. I.e.
Most of the time they dont.
Hitboxes are an outdated work-around. Collision detection should be based off of rendered graphics rather than having two separate worlds (hitbox/collision detection world and rendered graphics world) running on top of each other.

Do the female skins in Fortnite have smaller hit boxes?
Dead by Daylight be like "What are those?" XD
Casual reminder: the hitscan technique is essentially virtual duck hunt.... Ladies and gentlemen and everything else... [We're still just playing Duck Hunt] This is why there was never a sequel or a remake. And I'm okay with this. SMASH THAT DISLIKE BUTTON!
People... don't know this? It's so simple it can literally be explained in one sentence...
Now talk about Black Ops Cold War because the hit registration is atrocious in that game.
Killing Daily killed this channel.
Most stupid thing about this is that modern pc's are so slow they cannot detect collisions beetween REAL INGAME models. Instead you got ADDITIONAL invisible hitboxes. Is this lame or what?

Well it's not about your PC being slow, it's about the actual model isn't necessarily colliding with the world. Objects have to have collision added to them in 3d space, just like your hurt box. That's why when you go "out of bounds" you can fall through the floor or walk through walls, because they never added collision to those objects. Either the collision box in Fortnite isn't 1:1 with the character model, or it's out of sync due to for example lag. I've never played Fortnite. But just like hit/hurt boxes they never perfectly line up with the actual character model. It was almost "revolutionary" when you could shoot a character in the empty space under their arms or between their legs, and not hit them, way back in the day. The boxes are getting more and more accurate to the visual model, but since it's two completely different systems acting at the same time, it's never 1:1

@@hylianchriss ugh. That wasnt explanation i expected. You REALLY cannot see how simplified hotboxes optimize CPU load? isnt it obvious, modern games still need MASSIVE optimaization of game engine to reach decent FPS? Look at 2 beggining sentences in your post. Objects DO NOT need adding hitboxes to them. Objects are already 3d models and cpu can calculate collisions based on THEM. Sadly like i said before, its just uneffective and slow. U get it now? :) Synchronising hitbox and model is nescesary for engine optimization but indeed stupid and kinda unfair to players shooting air and getting kills.
Gotta be a real slow week for this incredibly basic and old concept to be explained. Alas, after the downsizing I'm not surprised. I wish you the best, Inside Gaming, sadly this channel is not for me anymore.
Guess it's time to unsub.
