Even if I exclude the legs, I want to detect the body and head.

I think it's necessary to make it feel like the player is climbing up and clinging to the opponent.
For example, it detects height like Choi or Sakura Kasugano's Throw.

OK. So, two parts then. The head and the body. Even the legs are gonna become part of the body itself for grabs. For the legs, do you want them to be ungrabbed or get grabbed along with the body itself?
Ah! Two parts again then. It's all about height detection, right? Isn't it like Choi grabs opponents by the legs and/or body, while Sakura grabs by the head for throwing?
I cannot remember the link where @Piccolo made a body detection script and shared around here long time ago. But I do have it which I learned about body detection in script. This one has script to be detected of getting hurt in specific ways.

In this test, I know that it blinks red when hitting with Attack 1 or 2, but I would like to know more about how it is connected to the slam (grab) and how to use it.
When using the grab(slamstart) function, the goal is for the player's catch position to vary depending on the enemy's height.

I set enemy's height and width in enemy's entity variables for Rise of Warduke. This is for Shannon's backgrab in which she literally backstabs enemy while latching on the enemy's back. Rise of Warduke's enemies are varied from short enemies such goblins and kobolds to tall enemies such as demons, that's why these variables are needed.
Back to topic, at the start of backstab Shannon adjust her position relative to enemy's using the latter's height and width.
This is her Backstab move:
This is selfposition function:
Oh yes, each backstabable enemy has this script in their SPAWN animation:

The player's position was successfully moved depending on the opponent's height.
However, the captured opponent keeps turning his back.
void selfposition(int Time, int Frame, int face)
I tried to adjust the direction with 'int face', but it didn't work.

I tried entering 0 to 2 in 'int face', but there was no change.

I found the cause.
There is a command in the script that forces the direction to change.
C:
void selfposition(int Time, int Frame, int face)
{// Position self based on opponent's settings
void self = getlocalvar("self");
int Direction = getentityproperty(self, "direction");
void target = getlocalvar("Target" + self);
if(target==NULL())
{
target = getentityproperty(self, "opponent");
setlocalvar("Target" + self, target);
}
if(target!=NULL())
{
int Tx = getentityproperty(target, "x");
int y = getentityvar(target, 2);
int x = getentityvar(target, 3);
if(Direction == 1){
changeentityproperty(target, "direction", 1);
changeentityproperty(self, "position", Tx+x, NULL(), y);
} else {
changeentityproperty(target, "direction", 0);
changeentityproperty(self, "position", Tx-x, NULL(), y);
}
floater(Time);
updateframe(target, Frame);
bindentity(target, self, -x, 1, 5-y, face, 0);
}
}if(Direction == 1){
By changing '1' to '0', the phenomenon of enemies showing their backs has disappeared.
The structure of the script seems to have been like that because Dungeons & Dragons' character settings focus on the enemy's back.
