Gnome Code Doesnt help bc i Use CFrame to move my Enemys instead of Humanoid:MoveTo (wich is bad)
Script in the ServerScriptService i call it EnemyHandler
-- this is just a script to test everything nothing finished
local waypoints = workspace.Waypoints
local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local enemy = replicatedStorage.Enemy
local EnemyFuncs = require(script.Enemy)
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
for count = 10, 0, -1 do
if count == 30 then
warn("Game Starts in 30 Seconds")
elseif count == 20 then
warn("Game Starts in 20 Seconds")
elseif count == 10 then
warn("Game Starts in 10 Seconds")
elseif count < 10 and count > 0 then
warn(count)
end
task.wait(1)
end
warn("Game Started")
EnemyFuncs.Spawn(enemy, 5, 0.5)
end)
Modul Script (child of EnemyHandler) i call it Enemy
local enemyFuncs = {}
local waypoints = workspace.Waypoints
local sp = workspace.Enemyspawn
function enemyFuncs:Move()
local waypointIndex = 1
local connection
connection = game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Connect(function()
if waypointIndex <= #waypoints:GetChildren() then
local tP = waypoints:GetChildren()[waypointIndex].Position
local direction = (tP - self.HumanoidRootPart.Position).Unit
local orientation = CFrame.new(self.HumanoidRootPart.Position, tP)
warn("Current Position: ", self.HumanoidRootPart.Position)
warn("Target Position: ", tP)
self.HumanoidRootPart.Position = self.HumanoidRootPart.Position + direction * self.Speed.Value * (1/60)
self.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = orientation
if (tP - self.HumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude < 0.1 then
waypointIndex += 1
end
else
connection:Disconnect()
self:Destroy()
end
end)
end
function enemyFuncs:Spawn(amount, spawnInterval)
for count = 1, amount, 1 do
local enemy = self:Clone()
enemy.Parent = workspace.Enemys
enemy.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = workspace.Enemyspawn.CFrame
spawn(function()
enemyFuncs.Move(enemy)
end)
task.wait(spawnInterval)
end
warn("Enemy's Spawned")
end
return enemyFuncs
so what is my Problem, Actualy my problem is, the enemys are not walking. they are not moving at all, all they do is bugging around and moving buggy around like they are glitched in the ground. after a Curely time they Glitch in the air and stay there for no reason… did i do something wrong? i dont think so. the Waypoints are Placed above the Path. so the enemys are spawning above the path as well
Why are you not using :MoveTo() on the humanoid? If you need to use RunService, I would restructure this:
local event = game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat
local waypointIndex = 1
function enemyFuncs:NextPoint()
waypointIndex += 1
if waypointIndex <= #waypoints:GetChildren() then
local tP = waypoints[waypointIndex].Position
local direction = (tP - self.HumanoidRootPart.Position).Unit
local orientation = CFrame.new(self.HumanoidRootPart.Position, tP)
warn("Current Position: ", self.HumanoidRootPart.Position)
warn("Target Position: ", tP)
self.HumanoidRootPart.Position = self.HumanoidRootPart.Position + direction * self.Speed.Value * (1/60)
self.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = orientation
connection = event:Connect(function()
if (tP - self.HumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude < 0.1 then
connection:Disconnect()
enemyFuncs.NextPoint(self)
end
end)
else
self:Destroy()
end
end
function enemyFuncs:Move()
local connection
connection = game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Connect(function()
if waypointIndex <= #waypoints:GetChildren() then
if (tP - self.HumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude < 0.1 then
waypointIndex += 1
end
else
connection:Disconnect()
self:Destroy()
end
end)
end
So I made a new NextPoint method that will go to the next point. Your code would update the position every frame and had some weird methods. You also indexed the GetChildren() list, which won’t be in order. Make sure your waypoints are all ordered.
I see a few typos in the second script that can use some fixing so here’s a updated one on the second!
local enemyFuncs = {}
local waypoints = workspace.Waypoints
local sp = workspace.Enemyspawn
function enemyFuncs:Move()
local waypointIndex = 1
local connection
connection = game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Connect(function()
if waypointIndex <= #waypoints:GetChildren() then
local tP = waypoints:GetChildren()[waypointIndex].Position
local direction = (tP - self.HumanoidRootPart.Position).Unit
local orientation = CFrame.new(self.HumanoidRootPart.Position, tP)
warn("Current Position: ", self.HumanoidRootPart.Position)
warn("Target Position: ", tP)
self.HumanoidRootPart.Position = self.HumanoidRootPart.Position + direction * self.Speed.Value * (1/60)
self.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = orientation
if (tP - self.HumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude < 0.1 then
waypointIndex += 1
end
else
connection:Disconnect()
self:Destroy()
end
end)
end
function enemyFuncs:Spawn(amount, spawnInterval)
for count = 1, amount, 1 do
local enemy = self:Clone()
enemy.Parent = workspace.Enemys
enemy.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = workspace.Enemyspawn.CFrame
spawn(function()
enemyFuncs.Move(enemy)
end)
task.wait(spawnInterval)
end
warn("Enemy's Spawned")
end
return enemyFuncs
THE TYPOS:
The script is missing the definition of the self variable. In order to use self as a reference to the enemy object, you need to define it as a parameter in the functions or use a different approach.
The waypointIndex += 1 line is not valid syntax. In Lua, you need to use the waypointIndex = waypointIndex + 1 syntax to increment the variable.
The self:Clone() line is referencing a method that is not defined in the script. Make sure you have a Clone method defined for the enemy object.
The task.wait(spawnInterval) line is using an incorrect syntax. It should be wait(spawnInterval) instead.
Please review the changes and adjust them according to your specific needs, this way you can have a nice system! Hope this helps in some way. Good script though!
I would really appreciate it if you wouldn’t use ChatGPT, outdated sources, or just try to correct things while possessing limited knowledge. All of the changes you listed here are incorrect.
The self keyword is automatically obtained when declaring a method with a colon. You can then pass in an instance as the first argument and it will automatically be assigned to self. ObjectOrientedProgramming is an advanced concept, so it is understandable if you don’t have a ton of experience with it.
I understand if you are new to lua, but += IS valid syntax for incrementing a variable, you can also do things like -=, *=, and /=.
The :Clone() method is automatically inherited by all descendants of the Instance class, so it is 100% a valid method for our enemy Instance.
wait() is actually an outdated and deprecated method(the most obvious reason you don’t know what you are talking about). There is a reason anyone that stays up to date on best practices uses task.wait(), as it is much more accurate. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don’t ever do this again, as you are wasting people’s time and just flooding a forum post with incorrect information.
hmm why tho? basicly its bad. After a a specific time they not Walking animore they just run the the next checkpoint without reaching it. to tell it in that way
Humanoid:MoveTo() have an Timeout after 10 seconds.
I dont use that Methode so i dont have Timeouts.
Btw fixed it on my Self. And ill still Continue using CFrame instead of MoveTo bc MoveTo is realy bad.
function enemyFuncs:Move()
local waypointIndex = 1
local connection
local hrp = self:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local hum = self:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
connection = game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Connect(function()
if waypointIndex <= #waypoints:GetChildren() then
if hum.Health == 0 then
self:Destroy()
connection:Disconnect()
end
local cwp = waypoints:GetChildren()[waypointIndex]
local tP = Vector3.new(cwp.Position.X, hrp.Position.Y, cwp.Position.Z)
local direction = (tP - hrp.Position).Unit
local orientation = CFrame.new(hrp.Position, tP)
hrp.CFrame = CFrame.new(direction * self.Speed.Value * (1/60)) * orientation
if (tP - hrp.Position).Magnitude < 0.1 then
waypointIndex += 1
end
else
self:Destroy()
connection:Disconnect()
end
end)
end
