Alternative to humanoid:move() because it doesnt seem to work on r6

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

is there an alternative to humanoid:move() because its not working on r6 for me for some reason

#2

There’s a humanoid:MoveTo() that seems to work for me. It works a little differently than humanoid:Move since MoveTo() causes the humanoid to walk to a position instead of just a direction.

#3

none seemed to work for me i dont know the problem

#4

Can you post your code so we can take a look at it? I use MoveTo() and it does work.

#5

could we see the properties of the humanoid?

#6

Use Humanoid:MoveTo( Vector3 ). If the model doesn’t move, it could be anchored

#7

Or it could have a part that’s anchored. I’ve had that happen to me before.

#8

Move() and MoveTo() are completely two different things with different behaviors. Move() utilizes a direction to move the humanoid, while MoveTo() utilizes a position to move the humanoid.

You can use Move() to tell a humanoid to move forward, backward, rightward, leftward, and etc… It does not go towards a specific position, instead it goes toward a direction. You can use things like CFrame.Unit for the direction.

You can use MoveTo() to tell a humanoid to go to a specific Vector3 (Vector3.new(15,1,69), Vector3.new(-278,6,15), etc.).

The OP is saying that neither one is working for a R6 rig type.

Oh sorry, my bad.

In that case, he probably messed something up with his rig (HumanoidRootPart is anchored, it is not rigged correctly, etc.)

sorry for being ooffline for a while @Maelstorm_1973 @Downrest
this is my code:

local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local humanoid = script.Parent
local root = humanoid.Parent.HumanoidRootPart
local targetDistance = 20
local stopDistance = 5

function findNearestPlayer()
	local playerList = Players:GetPlayers()
	
	local nearestPlayer = nil
	local distance = nil
	local direction = nil
	
	for _, player in pairs(playerList) do
		local character = player.Character
		if character then
			local distanceVector = (player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position - root.Position)
			if not nearestPlayer then
				nearestPlayer = player
				distance = distanceVector.Magnitude
				direction = distanceVector.Unit
			elseif distanceVector.Magnitude < distance then
				nearestPlayer = player
				distance = distanceVector.Magnitude
				direction = distanceVector.Unit
			end	
		end
	end
	
	return nearestPlayer, distance, direction
end

RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
	local nearestPlayer, distance, direction = findNearestPlayer()

	if nearestPlayer then
		if distance <= targetDistance and distance >= stopDistance then
			print(direction)
			humanoid:Move(direction)
		else
			humanoid:Move(Vector3.new())
		end
	end
end)

it is from a tutorial and it is a serverscript inside humanoid

#13

when you say it does not work do you mean like it doesnt move or it just glitches of something like that

#14

So you are trying to find the closest player and chase them? If so, then you need to use the pathfinding service. I have an answer that should help you with the basics.

Beyond that, check your rig and make sure that none of the parts are anchored. That will cause a problem.
