AI script Not working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hey Everyone, I’m trying to make my monster teleport more than once, currently it only teleports once, and then chases the same player. I need it to teleport to a random player.
Here is my current code:

local Monster = script.Parent
local humanoid = Monster.Humanoid
local PlayerService = game:GetService('Players')

function FindTarget()
	local ChosenPlayer = game.Players:GetChildren()[math.random(1, #game.Players:GetChildren())]
	if ChosenPlayer.Character.Humanoid.Health > 0 then
		Monster.TeleportSpirit.Fire.Enabled = true
		wait(1.5)
		Monster.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = ChosenPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame - Vector3.new(0,0,20)
		wait(1.5)
		Monster.TeleportSpirit.Fire.Enabled = false
		repeat
			humanoid:MoveTo(ChosenPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position)
			wait()
		until humanoid.Health == 0
	else
		return
	end
end

while true do
	wait(5)
	FindTarget()
end

Here is what I mean: https://gyazo.com/c5d683451f1c2e1ac76156ca3dbd0963

Thanks for any help!

You didn’t add a wait in your repeat loop

Should I do this then?

		repeat humanoid:MoveTo(ChosenPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position) wait()
			
		until humanoid.Health == 0

Yes, or you could format the repeat block better like this

repeat
	humanoid:MoveTo(ChosenPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position)
	wait()
until humanoid.Health == 0

Also, why does the monster only teleport once? There are no errors. It’s supposed to teleport every 5 seconds that’s why I’m using a while loop.

It’s supposed to teleport to a new random player every 5 seconds and attack them.

I’m not exactly sure because I don’t work with Characters/Humanoids a lot. I’m guessing you’re not supposed to run the FindTarget function multiple times.

Try doing this

local Monster = script.Parent
local humanoid = Monster.Humanoid
local PlayerService = game:GetService('Players')

while true do
    local ChosenPlayer = game.Players:GetChildren()[math.random(1, #game.Players:GetChildren())]
	if ChosenPlayer.Character.Humanoid.Health > 0 then
		Monster.TeleportSpirit.Fire.Enabled = true
		wait(1.5)
		Monster.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = ChosenPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame - Vector3.new(0,0,20)
		wait(1.5)
		Monster.TeleportSpirit.Fire.Enabled = false
		repeat humanoid:MoveTo(ChosenPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position)
			
		until humanoid.Health == 0
	else
		return
	end
    wait(5)
end

That didn’t work, the monster only teleports once.

I’ve edited my post with the new issue.

I managed to fix it:

local Monster = script.Parent
local humanoid = Monster.Humanoid
local PlayerService = game:GetService('Players')

function FindTarget()
	local ChosenPlayer = game.Players:GetChildren()[math.random(1, #game.Players:GetChildren())]
	if ChosenPlayer.Character.Humanoid.Health > 0 then
		print("Looping")
		wait(1.5)
		Monster.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = ChosenPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame - Vector3.new(0,0,20)
		wait(1.5)
		
		while ChosenPlayer.Character.Humanoid.Health > 0 do
			if ChosenPlayer.Character.Humanoid.Health == 0 then break end
			humanoid:MoveTo(ChosenPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position)
			wait()
		end
	else
		print("Ending")
		return
	end
end

while true do
	wait(5)
	FindTarget()
end

The repeat loop you had kept running so it interrupted the main loop. Also I think you were supposed to use ChosenPlayer.Character.Humanoid.Health instead of humanoid.Health

Note: I removed the fire effects while I was testing, so yeah :no_mouth:

Um, It’s not fixed. I don’t think you understand. It’s supposed to teleport every 5 seconds without needing to kill them, so even if it doesn’t kill them it will teleport to someone else after 5 seconds.

Basically, I need it so the monster randomly teleports to someone every 5 seconds, just like this: https://gyazo.com/c5d683451f1c2e1ac76156ca3dbd0963

As you can see, it doesn’t teleport every time it kills the player.
I need it to teleport to a certain player, and move towards them, and after 5 seconds it should run the function again. But it doesn’t teleport again, only once.

Attempt #2 (this one most likely works)

local Monster = script.Parent
local humanoid = Monster.Humanoid
local PlayerService = game:GetService('Players')

local TrackingStatus = false

local function GetNewPlayer()
	print("Getting New Player")
	return PlayerService:GetPlayers()[math.random(1, #PlayerService:GetPlayers())]
end

local function TrackNewPlayer(Target)
	print("Tracking New Target")
	Monster.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = Target.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame - Vector3.new(0,0,20)
	local function Track()
		while TrackingStatus do
			if not TrackingStatus then break end
			if Target.Humanoid.Health == 0 then break end
			humanoid:MoveTo(Target.HumanoidRootPart.Position)
			wait()
		end
	end
	coroutine.resume(coroutine.create(Track)) -- don't call me out for this :P
end

while true do
	print("AI Running")
	while #PlayerService:GetPlayers() == 0 do wait() end
	local Target = GetNewPlayer()
	local Character = Target.Character
	if Character then
		if Character.Humanoid.Health > 0 then
			TrackingStatus = true
			TrackNewPlayer(Character)
			wait(5)
			TrackingStatus = false
			print("Tracking Ended")
		end
	end
	wait()
end

Pretty much your code, I just divided it into more parts.
