This script displays hitboxes for Kuros, Kuros's weapon, and active items in Wizards & Warriors X: The Fortress of Fear. It also displays HP of items. Several notes:
  • HP values are decimal numbers.
  • The weapon only has a hitbox during certain animation states. It only causes damage when it has a hitbox.
  • Damage appears to be 1 HP per frame of contact with the enemy.
  • Some items, like keys, remain in an active state even after being collected.
