Hello developers,

Im currently making a system where customers will come into your restaurant and will take a seat. However in this game, you can build your restaurant however you would like.

So, before loading and spawning in the customer NPC’s, i would like it to run a check to see if it is possible that from where they spawn to go and walk to a seat. And if the pathfind is not possible, it will warn the plot owner.

Any help would be appreciated!

	local success, errorMessage = pcall(function()
		path:ComputeAsync(character.PrimaryPart.Position, destination)
	end)

It will only return success as true if the pathing returns a valid path.
You can then navigate or alert:

if success and path.Status == Enum.PathStatus.Success then
	-- For each waypoint, create a part to visualize the path
	for _, waypoint in path:GetWaypoints() do
		<blah> move etc...
	end
else
	-- Send an alert to the player
end
