How do I make Units follow the player?

I want to be able to equip a unit and have it follow me, this can be seen in most tower defense games like Anime Last Stand, Anime World Tower Defense, etc

If you just want a unit to follow a player, you can just use Humanoid:MoveTo() and set it to somewhere behind the player position every second or so.

Is there a specific question besides the title?

I don’t think that’s what those games do. I want the Unit to be behind the player and follow the player smoothly

Okay, then you can use AlignPosition and other physics controllers to do it. Or you can just use a RenderStepped loop to set the CFrame. Those are practically the only options.

Alright I try those methods, and see if they work

Use Humanoid:MoveTo() with Runservice.RenderStepped. If you just set the CFrame then you will have to play the walk/running animation manually which might not sync with the character movement all the time.

I am doin it in my game.
