Configure Weapon Damage and Hit Detection

Setting Damage Values

Each attack in your moveset needs damage configuration. In your weapon's JSON file:

• Assign base damage per attack type
• Specify damage scaling with weapon enchantments or player stats
• Define knockback force and direction
• Set whether hits apply status effects

Configuring Hitboxes

Hitboxes determine what your weapon can actually hit:

• Size and shape: Define the collision area for each attack
• Timing: Specify when during the animation the hitbox becomes active
• Range: Extend or reduce reach for different attack types
• Multi-hit moves: Allow some attacks to hit multiple times if the player stays in range

Testing Hit Consistency

Spawn test mobs and verify:

• Attacks connect at expected ranges
• Damage numbers match your configuration
• Knockback sends enemies in the intended direction
• Hitboxes don't catch unintended targets

Adjust hitbox timing if attacks feel delayed or hit too early relative to the animation.
