 There are many types of hitboxes, around, and thanks to the recent use of 3D technology to emulate 2D game play, hitboxes are commonly known for following body joints.

-----+Make sure you first set your character model(s) under [[character:prefabs|Character Prefabs]] before proceeding to the sections below.
  
-==== Character Prefab ==== 
-**Choose a character prefab:** A prefab containing the following components 
-  * Animation 
-  * (SOURCE VERSION) Hit Boxes Script (''.\UFE\Scripts\HitBoxesScript.cs'') 
-  * (OTHER VERSIONS) Hit Boxes Script (''.\UFE\Plugin\UFE.dll\HitBoxesScript'') 
- 
-or 
- 
-**Create a character prefab:** Create a character prefab from your character model 
-  * Drag your character model from your project folder to the **Hierarchy** 
-  * If it doesn't have the animation component yet, click on **Add Component**, than search for Animation. No further configuration is necessary. 
-  * Using the Project window, navigate to ''.\UFE\Scripts\HitBoxesScript.cs'' ((''.\UFE\Plugin\UFE.dll\HitBoxesScript'' if you are not using the source version.)) and, with the character still selected, drag the script to the Inspector window. No further configuration is necessary. 
-  * Once you're done, drag the character back from Hierarchy to your desired folder in the Project window. Unity will automatically create a prefab. 
- 
-{{ :character:character_hitboxes2.png?nolink |}} 
- 
-Now drag your newly created prefab to the //Character Prefab// in the Hit Box Setup panel. Once you have your character in, you can click on "Open Character" to see the character. Now lets configure the hitboxes.

 +  * **Default Visibility:** Set the default visibility for certain Game Objects under your character hierarchy. This option is useful for hiding or showing certain objects during gameplay (like weapons). This option only works for objects detached from the main [[http://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-Mesh.html|Mesh]]. You can then toggle the visibility by using [[move:start|Move Editor -> Body Parts Visibility Toggle]].
