What is this asset?

Combat Moveset is a close-range fighting system for Roblox
creators. It lets players fight directly with player input
instead of holding a weapon Tool, making combat feel simple,
direct, and easy to use during normal gameplay.

Players can perform punch and kick combos, charge stronger
attacks, guard against incoming hits, and finish attacks with
knockback, hit sounds, camera shake, and custom visual effects.

How combat works

This system does not use a Tool. Combat controls are available
directly through player input, allowing players to fight without
equipping an item.

This makes the system useful for fighting games, action RPGs,
arenas, story games, and close-range battle experiences where
combat should feel quick and direct.

• Punch Combo
  Punch 1 → Uppercut → Punch Finisher.
• Kick Combo
  Kick 1 → Roundhouse Kick → Kick Finisher.
• ComboInputWindow
  Controls how long players have to continue a combo.
• Finisher knockback
  Final combo attacks can use stronger knockback by default.

also supporting mobile and gamepad players.

Customizable settings

Important settings are stored as easy-to-edit Value objects.
Creators can change animation IDs, damage, timing, hitbox size,
guard strength, sounds, charge time, camera shake, and effect
behavior without rewriting the main scripts.

• General settings
  Combat mode, combo timing, charge movement, camera shake,
  sounds, and debug hitboxes.
• Action settings
  Animation ID, attack duration, hit ratio, damage, sounds,
  hitbox size, and knockback.
• Charged attack settings
  Charge threshold, ready sound, moving hitbox path,
  and active time.
• Guard settings
  Guard duration, cooldown, damage reduction, knockback
  reduction, shield visuals, and sounds.

  lifetime, and enable switches.
• Debug settings
  Temporary visible hitboxes for testing attack range.

07

Charged attacks and guard

Players can hold punch or kick input to charge a stronger
attack. Releasing before the charge threshold performs a normal
attack, while releasing after the threshold performs a charged
attack.

Guarding gives players a defensive option. A successful front
guard reduces incoming damage and knockback, while attacks from
behind are not protected.

• Charge threshold timing
• Charge effect while holding
• Charge ready burst effect
• Release effect when fired
• Hit effect on successful impact
• Stronger charged damage
• Timed guard duration
• Direction-based guard detection

08

Server-controlled combat

Damage, guard validation, attack validation, hit detection,
and knockback remain controlled by the server.
Hit effects are generated locally for responsive visual timing.

This design helps combat feel responsive while keeping important
gameplay checks on the server side.

• Server-controlled damage
• Server-controlled hitboxes
• Server-side guard validation
• Server-side attack validation
• Server-applied knockback
• Local hit effect timing

09

Custom effects

Effect templates are stored inside ReplicatedStorage under
MartialCombatSystem > Effects. Each attack can have its own
effect folder, making it easy to give different moves their own
look.

• Normal attacks
  Can use HitEffect.
• Charged attacks
  Can use ChargeEffect, ChargeReadyBurst, ReleaseEffect,
  and HitEffect.
• Template types
  Effects can use Part, MeshPart, UnionOperation,
  or another BasePart type.
• Supported children
  Attachments, ParticleEmitters, Beams, Trails, Lights,
  and SpecialMesh can be used.
