I have been working on a top down Sims sorta game. I am currently re-writing my pathfinding. Because previously I patched this but it was more like a band-aid than a solution.
Basically when you right click your character walks along the path to the destination. But if you click again I want it to cancel the old loop and start on the new one. But since its a for loop I am finding it a little difficult.
That is a link to my code. If you plan to edit it. Please make a copy and paste it below the old code, I want to retain the original code for others.
The problem with my current code is if you click to fast than the 2 for loops dont see that BreakOutOfCurrentPath was equal to true at some point so they continue to run. But if you click and hold the right mouse button it works because the for loops have time to see that they should break.
I know that I am close to solving this. I was going to make it so that you just had to long press to start on a new path but I realized that would get annoying. But I am currently out of ideas as to what to do so I am here asking for your help. Thank you for your time
It would be easier to not use a loop when you navigate a path if you wanted to break and recalculate the current path if blocked or to follow a new path.
I think the script would look something like this:
--[[
local variables up here
function getPoint() --called by navPath
point = nil
point is mouse click position
return point --returns point to navPath
end
function visualPath()
script here
end
function navPath() --called by mouseclick
point = getPoint() --calls point at mouseclick position
if point then
navigate to the point
end
end
Mouse.Button2Up:Connect(function()
humanoid:MoveTo(rootPart.Position) --stop moving if already moving
navPath() --call to calculate path
end)
]]
