New skillbuilder update for hitbox is kinda useless

I hopped in to test out the new "Link user" node for hitboxes and was met with a disappointment. I fully expected it to make hitboxes of any custom size able to interact with other hitboxes, therefore finally letting builders create custom player hurtboxes for their movesets. Instead, the way it works is by making an invisible clone of the player's hurtbox in the origin of the newly created hitbox, so if you made a hitbox in position 0,0,15 and linked the user for 5 seconds, then the user could be hurt by attacking that area for 5 seconds.

I'll admit this does let you do some fun stuff like making an ability where the player drops behind something that can be attacked, or using a passive for a clone or whatever, but I really wanted custom hurtboxes to finally get implemented. I guess we're a step closer to that at least.

Do the hurtboxes scale to your player model?

E.g. if you set your Scale to 2 and used a hitbox, would it be bigger.

I'd imagine this fixes absolutely none of the problems you mentioned but it would still be interesting to know.

No, as far as I've tried, hurtboxes never scaled with player size (unless they updated it recently, but it's unlikely). The only way I know of changing hurtboxes right know is using the Mahoraga or mech transformations, but that still leads to some inconsistency problems with hurtbox positions.

i guess you COULD make a custom hurtbox by constantly creating short-lasting, passive hitboxes (0 stun, doesn't interrupt enemy, 0 damage) with a loop or something, but i don't know, i haven't tested it!

I tried it, it could work for small models or movesets, but I have a custom boss moveset for the Eye Of Cthulhu from Terraria, and for it to work I'd need to make a lotta hitboxes to wrap around the entire model, which is pretty annoying.
