NPC won't move even though its unanchored

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

The model is unanchored and has a humanoid walk speed of 16.
The code to move the NPC is the same as the one Roblox provides: Character Pathfinding | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub

don’t mind the music

Any idea why?

Can you instead show the code in this post, so I can see what’s wrong?

#3 
	local success, errorMessage = pcall(function()
		path:ComputeAsync(GhostModel.PrimaryPart.Position, destination)
	end)

	if success and path.Status == Enum.PathStatus.Success then
		print("Path Success")
		waypoints = path:GetWaypoints()

		blockedConnection = path.Blocked:Connect(function(blockedWaypointIndex)
			if blockedWaypointIndex >= nextWaypointIndex then
				blockedConnection:Disconnect()
				followPath(destination)
			end
		end)

		if not reachedConnection then
			reachedConnection = GhostHumanoid.MoveToFinished:Connect(function(reached)
				if reached and nextWaypointIndex < #waypoints then
					nextWaypointIndex += 1
					GhostHumanoid:MoveTo(waypoints[nextWaypointIndex].Position)
					isWalking = true
				else
					reachedConnection:Disconnect()
					blockedConnection:Disconnect()
					isWalking = false
				end
			end)
		end

		nextWaypointIndex = 2
		GhostHumanoid:MoveTo(waypoints[nextWaypointIndex].Position)
	elseif errorMessage then
		warn("Path not computed!", errorMessage)
		isWalking = false
	end
end

Does it print Path success whatsoever?

#5

Yep In the video I do show it in the output

You’re checking if a waypoint is blocked, then deleting it? Where is the humanoid meant to know where to go?

Uh it doesn’t delete it, i don’t see that code anywhere

#8

Anyways this is the exact code that roblox gives so it must work

#9

You disconnect the function before even trying to call the followPath() function. That’s probably why.

#10

I fixed it and nothing changed

#11

Same thing happens here. You disconnect the function before even setting the isWalking variable to false.

reachedConnection:Disconnect()
blockedConnection:Disconnect()
isWalking = false
#12

That didn’t fix it either, it seems that the character does turn and try to move but can’t move at all

#13

Almost as if it’s too heavy but I turned on massless

#14

Do you ever move the character, it only looks like you’re calculating the path only.

#15

Also it looks like you forcefully set the waypoint to 2, then move the character.

It’s probably constantly trying to walk to the second waypoint.

#16

That only runs once and it’s because the first waypoint is the starting point, this is just Roblox’s code I didn’t modify it.

#17

Try calling :SetNetworkOwner(nil) on the NPC’s HumanoidRootPart.

#18

I wouldn’t think it’s the client’s fault, so setting the network owner might do nothing.
