Help with radius AI spawn system

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello! I am working on making an AI spawn script, in this script I want to get the HumanoidRootPart of the character and then I want to use that position to spawn an AI randomly in the radius of 100 studs near the character. The only thing I can think of is using pi, how could I do this?

So I believe you want an AI to spawn anywhere in a radius of 100 around the humanoidRootPart.
I think this should probably work.

So you will first have to select a direction from 1 degrees to 360 degrees and rotate it.
Then you can choose any number from 1 to 100 and move it front that much.

Here is an example script-

local humanoidRootPart = -- wherever it is located
local AI = -- wherever it is located

local direction = math.random(1, 360)
local magnitude = math.random(1, 100) -- this is just a distance value i.e. how far away from the player

AI:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(humanoidRootPart.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, direction, 0)
AI:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(humanoidRootPart.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 0, -magnitude)

You can choose to move it using any method, but it has to be relative to the humanoid root part

It works! However, it seems to sometimes spawn on the player or really close by, could there be a way to maybe make it so that it will not spawn within _studs of the player and then do the math.random?

You could change the

local magnitude = math.random(1, 100)

to

local magnitude = math.random(40, 100)

the 40 is minimum distance, 100 is maximum
