[FIXED] Incorrect Pathfinding Modifier Documentation

[RoloTheDevBunny (Rolo)]

If you look at the Character Pathfinding | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub page(specifically the pathfinding links source code at the bottom) you will find this line:

-- Use boat if waypoint modifier ID is "UseBoat"; otherwise move to next waypoint
if waypoints[nextWaypointIndex].ModifierId == "UseBoat" then

If you run this in studio, you will get an error. This is because ModifierId is not a property of a PathWaypoint | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub. Instead, you need to check the Label property.

As you can see, the Label property of a PathWaypoint is the name of the PathfindingModifier if one is present.

Sorry for not posting this in documentation bugs. I don’t have access to post there so this seemed like the most fitting place.

I was wondering if I was the only person who noticed it… It’s still there
By the way, I think pathfinding guide needs some changes, for example there is nothing about jumping.
I can’t post in that category aswell, so I think it’s a good idea to ping roblox staff here: @thirdtakeonit (the first person with badge that I could find)

Yep, I had run into such issue when I was trying to make breakable fences by NPC (hopefully solved that myself).

Not only pathfinding, there’s need A LOT OF cahnges to guides and tutorials, because they provide only very basic info, while not giving ANY advanced stuff and possible mistakes and how to fix them.

This documentation error has been fixed. I made a pull request and it was fixed.
