How to stop Humanoid:MoveTo()?

I’m trying to make a bot for my game, when the player walks too close to the bot I want the bot to stop. I’ve tried moving the humanoid to its humanoidRootPart, it just starts spinning around endlessly. How could I do this? This is my script:

module.playerFound = function(botCharacter) -- this runs when the player is too close to the bot
	local humanoid = botCharacter:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
	local humanoidRootPart = botCharacter:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
	if humanoid and humanoidRootPart then
		print("Move")
		humanoid:MoveTo(humanoidRootPart.Position) -- this is it moving to its self
		humanoid.WalkToPart = humanoidRootPart
		humanoid.WalkToPoint = humanoidRootPart.Position
		humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait()
		print("Moved") -- both of these print right after each other
	end
	return
end

Can't Cancel Movement

You can use a MoveTo() on the bot at the position of the bot, and since its already at that position it will stop moving.

Yes, that is what I just did .

May not be too efficient, but:

while wait() do
if (botCharacter.Position - player.Character.Humanoid.Position).magnitude >= 2 then -- Change the "2" accordingly
botCharacter.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0
end

I want to actually stop the MoveTo function, wont this just stop them from moving then they would just resume walking afterwards.

instead of “WalkSpeed” try:

botCharacter.Humanoid:MoveTo(Vector3.new(0,0,0))

That just makes it move back to 0, 0, 0 in the middle of the map.

I have one more solution however it only freezes the Humanoid:

botCharacter.Humanoid.PlatformStand = true

Does it cancel the Humanoid:MoveTo()?

Are you sure this doesn’t work? I used it on my NPCs too and it works fine. Also there’s no need to set all the properties (WalkToPart and WalkToPoint), MoveTo() will be enough.

It does, but the bot spins around endlessly.

I’ll try on Studio in an empty project, hold on.

No, sorry, it only stops the Humanoid from any type of movement.

This works so if the NPC is too close to the player, it stops moving by using NPC.Humanoid:MoveTo(NPC.PrimaryPart.Position).

Then set the WalkToPart property only, as it automatically sets the other two by the part’s position.

Aha, I think I know why it isn’t working. It works (kinda) if I do this:

while wait() do
	humanoid:MoveTo(botCharacter.PrimaryPart.Position)
	humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait()
end

Heres the script that actually tells the player to move to a part.

local waypoints = path:GetWaypoints()
	for index, waypoint in pairs(waypoints) do
		if waypoint.Action == Enum.PathWaypointAction.Jump then
			humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping)
		end
		humanoid:MoveTo(waypoint.Position)
		humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait()
	end

I think this is interfering with me trying to walk it to the humanoidRootPart, because it goes through the waypoints and so when I try to Humanoid:MoveTo(humanoidRootPart.Position) it doesnt work because it just goes back to the next waypoint. How would I fix this tho?? @AndroidBoyz

Just do:

Humanoid:MoveTo(botCharacter:FindFirstChild(“HumanoidRootPart”).Position)

Yeah, thats what I said I did.

local part = Instance.new("Part")
part.Name = "StoppingPart"
part.Anchored = true
part.Transparency = 1
part.CanCollide = false
part.Parent = workspace
part.CFrame = CFrame.new(botCharacter:FindFirstChild(“HumanoidRootPart”).Position)

Humanoid:MoveTo(part.Position)
Humanoid:MoveToFinished:Wait()
part:Destroy()
