How to make pathfinding not target certain players

[Harrystylesicoo17287]

what is the issue? It works perfectly.i just tested it.

[jacobthegummybear (Teepawt)]

It never sets the bool based on team color, and it looks for a bool of a different name in the SetPlayerChase function

[ryanthapro (NumberOneAirBreather)]

Same issue as before

why do i have to put this part here

[Harrystylesicoo17287]

Okay i fixed that part. It works now. I hadnt tested the SetPlayerChase lol. Please mark the code as the solution.

[ryanthapro (NumberOneAirBreather)]

Can I see the updated code?

WHY

[Harrystylesicoo17287]

local playerService = game:GetService("Players")
--local players=playerService:GetPlayers()


playerService.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) --give chase bool to all new players
	local bool = Instance.new("BoolValue")
	bool.Parent = player
	bool.Name = "CanChasePlayer"
	bool.Value = true
end)

local function SetPlayerChase(player, boolValue)
	player:WaitForChild("CanChasePlayer").Value = boolValue
end



local npc = script.Parent
local human = npc.Humanoid

local PFS = game:GetService("PathfindingService")
local RUNSERVICE = game:GetService("RunService")

npc.PrimaryPart:SetNetworkOwner(nil)


local function findTarget()
	local players = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayers()
	local nearesttarget
	local maxDistance = 75 -- distance

	for i,player in pairs(players) do
		if player:FindFirstChild("CanChasePlayer").Value == true then
			print("hi")
			if player.Character then
				local target = player.Character
				local distance = (npc.HumanoidRootPart.Position - target:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Position).Magnitude

				if distance < maxDistance then
					nearesttarget = target
					maxDistance = distance
				end

			end 
		end
	end
	return nearesttarget
end

local function getPath(destination)
	local path = PFS:CreatePath()

	path:ComputeAsync(npc.HumanoidRootPart.Position, destination)

	return path
end

local function pathFindTo(destination)
	local path = getPath(destination)
	local target = findTarget()

	if target and target.Humanoid.Health > 0 then
		for i,waypoint in pairs(path:GetWaypoints()) do

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

			human:MoveTo(waypoint.Position)
			human.MoveToFinished:Wait()

		end
	end
end

RUNSERVICE.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
	local target = findTarget()

	if target then
		pathFindTo(target:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Position + (target:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Velocity.Unit * 1))
	end
end)```

what do you mean it doesn’t work? Nobody can help you if you aren’t specific. I tested it and it works fine so I’m not sure what you mean.

[ryanthapro (NumberOneAirBreather)]

If the value was originally false, and you change it to true, the ai will still act like it was false

[Harrystylesicoo17287]

sounds to me like you’re changing it on the client. You have to change it on the server. Are you changing it scriptually or during testing in the workspace tab?

I feel like such an idiot, thanks
