Better way to create custom humanoid system?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I want to make the WalkToPoint and MoveToFinished event without a humanoid but the problem I am having is that I don’t know how it works with Roblox’s code.

local module = {}

local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")

local connections = {
	["WalkToPoint"] = nil
}

local character = script.Parent.Parent
local HumanoidRootPart = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

local MoveVelocity = script.Parent:WaitForChild("MoveVelocity")
local AlignOrientation = script.Parent:WaitForChild("AlignOrientation")
local StandVelocity = script.Parent:WaitForChild("StandVelocity")

function module.UpdateAlignOrientation()
	local velocity = MoveVelocity.PlaneVelocity
	local direction

	if velocity.Magnitude <= 0 then
		direction = HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector * Vector3.new(1, 0, 1)
	else
		direction = Vector3.new(velocity.Unit.X, 0, velocity.Unit.Y)
	end

	local newOrientation = CFrame.new(Vector3.new(), direction)
	AlignOrientation.CFrame = newOrientation
end

function module.WalkToPoint(position)
	if connections["WalkToPoint"] then
		connections["WalkToPoint"]:Disconnect()
		connections["WalkToPoint"] = nil
	end
	
	coroutine.wrap(function()
		connections["WalkToPoint"] = RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
			local distance = (HumanoidRootPart.Position - position).Magnitude

			if distance <= 3 then
				module.MoveToFinished()
			else
				local WalkSpeed = character:GetAttribute("WalkSpeed")
				local direction = (position - HumanoidRootPart.Position).Unit
				local direction2D = Vector2.new(direction.X, direction.Z)

				MoveVelocity.PlaneVelocity = direction2D * WalkSpeed
			end
		end)
	end)()
end

function module.MoveToFinished()
	MoveVelocity.PlaneVelocity = Vector2.new()
	
	print("move to finished")
	
	character:SetAttribute("MoveToFinished", true)
	RunService.Heartbeat:Wait()
	character:SetAttribute("MoveToFinished", false)

	if connections["WalkToPoint"] then
		connections["WalkToPoint"]:Disconnect()
		connections["WalkToPoint"] = nil
	end
end

return module

Hi! WalkToPoint is strictly for humanoid models, so you would have to implement one in order to use it. I recommend using TweenService if you don’t want to use a humanoid in your model.
