I have a problem using pathfind. I’ve never used it, I’m just learning about it.

When my character is above 2.5 studs, the bot stops chasing, but I just programmed it to only jump

function IA.persuitPlayer(plr, yieldable)
	if plr:IsA("Player") then
		if IA.checkPlayerDistance(plr) == true then
			print("Can chase Player !")
			chasing = true

			while chasing == true and canChase == true do
			
				task.wait(0.1)
				local path = PathfindingService:CreatePath({["WaypointSpacing"] = 0.5})
				path:ComputeAsync(humanoidRootPart.Position, plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position)

				for _, waypoint in pairs(path:GetWaypoints()) do
					if math.abs(waypoint.Position.Y-model.LeftFoot.Position.Y) > 2.5 then
						humanoid.Jump = true
					end
					humanoid:MoveTo(waypoint.Position)
				end		


			end
		else
			
			warn("Player Is Too Far.")
			
		end
		
	end
	
end

I don’t think there’s a need to calculate stuff and then make it jump. I’m very sure that there’s something that says when to jump.

if waypoint.Action == Enum.PathWaypointAction.Jump then
      humanoid.Jump = true
end

when you’re using

 PathfindingService:CreatePath()

are you changing the AgentCanJump parameter?

if I remove this check it simply goes against the part

you also need to set “AgentCanJump” to true.

nah he shouldn’t, this is set to true by default

Can you try this to see if it would work?

In the documentation it says that the Default value is true, so I didn’t put it. but just in case I put it in now, and it didn’t work, it keeps stopping

did not work

the waypoint doesn’t even reach the top of the part, it stops as soon as the player goes up

YES! HAHAHHA am so dumb

I can jump over it, but he can’t… I thought I could

Bruh, I thought that ComputeAsync would return nil if the path is impossible to complete.

trying to work out if there’s a workaround for this myself… hopefully can find something :stuck_out_tongue:

Hey dude, can you try this real quick? it’s worked for me, doesn’t matter the height

function IA.persuitPlayer(plr, yieldable)
	if plr:IsA("Player") then
		if IA.checkPlayerDistance(plr) == true then
			print("Can chase Player !")
			chasing = true

			while chasing == true and canChase == true do
			
				task.wait(0.1)
				local path = PathfindingService:CreatePath({["WaypointSpacing"] = 0.5})
				path:ComputeAsync(humanoidRootPart.Position, plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position)

				for _, waypoint in pairs(path:GetWaypoints()) do
					humanoid:MoveTo(waypoint.Position)
					if waypoint.Action == Enum.PathWaypointAction.Jump then
						humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping)
						print('jumping')
					end
				end		


			end
		else
			
			warn("Player Is Too Far.")
			
		end
		
	end
	
end

maybe not the smoothest - but a start. Setting jump to true in your first example only allows the humanoid to jump. You gotta changed the HumanoidStateType to make it jump manually

humanoid.Jump = true is more effective, that code you said now made the bot fly lmao

Maybe just increase the JumpHeight or JumpPower of the bot? (In the humanoid)

I’ll need to find a way to debounce it. So long as your jump height is 7.2, the first jump should be fine. But I know I need to debounce mine or it does go flying after the first jump lmao
