How to make a click to move, but on npcs?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello! I’m making a SWAT game where you play as a commander from above.
The SWAT units are controlled by clicking them then clicking where you want to go.
I am puzzled by this and only understand the Humanoid:MoveTo(), the getmouse from local player
And that’s all.

Try something like this:
(local script)

local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
local db = false

mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
   if db == true then
      return
   end
   game.ReplicatedStorage.MoveEvent:FireServer(mouse.Hit.p)
end)

You would need to attach a server script having this code

game.ReplicatedStorage.MoveEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, mousepos)
   local Dummy = workspace.Dummy
   local hum = Dummy.Humanoid

   hum:MoveTo(mousepos)
end)

Also add a remote event in replicatedstorage called MoveEvent

I’ll be trying this, thank you.

Alright, so it prints no errors but does nothing. What do I do? (ps: happy cake day!)

#5

What error does it print? Also thanks!

#6

Also, let me give some more explanation.
You click the unit then it moves to where-ever you click next. (thats whats supposed to happen.)

#7

Oh, I read it wrong. Let me try it in a game

#8

It works for me… Is your HumanoidRootPart unanchored?

#9

Ohh… it was, I’ll test it now.
No, it still doesnt work.

#10

did you change the workspace.Dummy
local Dummy = workspace.(The name)

#11

Yes I did.
I don’t know what to do…

#12

Are any other parts anchored? I recommend adding a new dummy with the rig builder and then unanchoring the HumanoidRootPart.

#13

Alright I’ll try that, this will help alot.

#14

Still doesn’t work, where do I put the local script, by the way?

#15

Starter character scripts put it in there, works for me

#16

Try in starter GUI or Starter character scripts

#17

It works! One small problem tho.
I want to make it so when you click the unit it’ll activate this script.
Basically, click the unit you want to move. Then click to a certain position.
How can I do this?

Edit the local script to

local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
local db = false
local cooldown = 1
local selected = nil

mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
   if db == true then
      return
   end
   if selected ~= nil then
      game.ReplicatedStorage.MoveEvent:FireServer(mouse.Hit.p)
      selected = nil
      db = true
      wait(cooldown)
      db = false
   else
      --make sure its a dummy and not a player
      if mouse.Target.Parent.FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and not game.Players:FindFirstChild(mouse.Target.Name) then
         selected = mouse.Target.Parent
      end
   end
end)

No problem, also I added a cooldown variable which you can change.
