Humanoid:MoveTo not working

Hey! I’m scripting NPCs but for some reason Humanoid:MoveTo is not working. Here is the most important snippet of my code:

while true do
	wait()
	for i,v in ipairs(Titans:GetChildren()) do
		local targets = getTargets(v.HumanoidRootPart)
		local nearestTarget = getNearestTarget(targets)
		print(nearestTarget)
		if nearestTarget then
			print("yes")
			local nearestChar = Players[nearestTarget].Character or Players[nearestTarget].CharacterAdded:Wait()
			print(nearestChar)
			local nearestHrp = nearestChar.HumanoidRootPart
			print(nearestHrp)
			followTarget(v.Humanoid, nearestHrp)
		end
	end
end

It does print everything. Here is the followTarget function

local function followTarget(titanHumanoid, hrp)
	print("Moving")
	titanHumanoid:MoveTo(hrp.Position, hrp)
end

It does print “Moving” but for some reason it’s not.

How I created the NPC: I played the game and copied my character. Then I pasted it into the game when I stopped. I changed some stuff like the hair and stuff, so that shouldn’t be a problem I guess…

Here is a video about the behaviour if needed (you can also see my output):

Is anything anchored? If so, unanchor them

Nope, nothing is anchored, but probably the NPC is the problem, right?

Pretty sure it could be the size of this titan?

It’s just increasing the scales;

local function makeBigger(humanoid, meters)
		local makeBigger = {
			humanoid.BodyDepthScale;
			humanoid.BodyHeightScale;
			humanoid.BodyTypeScale;
			humanoid.BodyWidthScale;
			humanoid.HeadScale;	
		}
		for i,v in ipairs(makeBigger) do
			v.Value = meters
		end
	end

Removed that function, now they are average size (1), it’s still not working.

#7

I still need help, sorry for the bump, but if you have any idea what could cause this, please tell me.

#8

Try using MoveTo on a normal npc, might be a roblox problem.

Just noticed, when trying to do

workspace.Titans.Titan.Humanoid:MoveTo(workspace.GEILER123456.HumanoidRootPart.Position)

in the command box, they are not coming to me, so that means something is wrong with the NPCs.

Some information about them:

I made a Titans folder in the workspace. They are in that folder.

This is how they look like in the Explorer:

Copy everything inside of “Animate”, make a new SERVER script called “Animate” and paste everything inside, then if you click play you will get an error about something with emotes, this isn’t a big deal, you can just delete the entire emotes function.

That’s not the problem, they can also walk without animations.
I did

workspace.Titans.Titan.Humanoid:MoveTo(workspace.GEILER123456.HumanoidRootPart.Position)

On the server, while having a different NPC and it worked, but in the script it doesn’t, for some reason.
Here is the script:

while true do
	wait()
	for i,v in ipairs(Titans:GetChildren()) do	
		local targets = getTargets(v.HumanoidRootPart)
		local nearestTarget = getNearestTarget(targets)
		print(nearestTarget)
		if nearestTarget then
			print("yes")
			local nearestChar = Players[nearestTarget].Character or Players[nearestTarget].CharacterAdded:Wait()
			print(nearestChar)
			local nearestHrp = nearestChar.HumanoidRootPart
			print(nearestHrp)
			v.Humanoid:MoveTo(nearestHrp.Position)
			print("Moving")
		end
	end
end

Everything does print.

I know they can walk without animations, just something you should do.

Figured it out!!!
Solution:
I did

for i,v in ipairs(Titans:GetChildren()) do

but Titans was a variable for the titan models in ReplicatedStorage, not the one in workspace :smiley:

Doing for i,v in ipairs(workspace.Titans:GetChildren()) works.

#14

I was gonna say print out the names of the titans, but congratulations on figuring it out.
