Is there any way I can enable and disable collision objects/boxes?
I tried msg.post("#Sword Collision U,", disable") but it didn’t work and just spat out this error:
This is my code for the player, I am trying to disable the collision boxes so I can enable them when I attack so that I can hit enemies.
