How would you make pathfinding work with Collision Groups?

As shown by this engine bug here…

PathfindingService treats walk-through parts set by collidable groups as non-collidable and walks around them

Maybe this is supposed to be a feature request. Either way this is extremely annoying. I have multiple NPCs in my game. They use PathfindingService to get around. I also made it so they walk through each other (but not fall through the floor) using PhysicsService collidable groups. This happens every time and probably has always happened. It’s extremely annoying and as far as I’m aware is impossible to fix as a developer. Here is a repro. The BoolValue in Workspace determines whether or not t…

Pathfinding doesn’t seem to play so well with collision groups. I even tried a pathfinding module known as SimplePath but it still doesn’t work.

Is there any workarounds to this???

you could use PathfindingModifiers to ignore a certain part with “PassThrough” but it won’t support multiple collision groups

you could set a high weight for your pathfinding Id to stop other npcs from passing through though…
