Make NPC Stop Following a Set Path and Follow Player

[Ty_Harukii]

Hello! So I’m setting up a system for NPCs. I want them to be able to follow a set path, but then chase a player when they are within range. When the player is out of range, I want them to head back to their original path. I’ve got this set up… sort of. But it’s a pretty clunky system, so I’d like to get some suggestions from the community. How would you go about switching between following the path and chasing the player and vice versa?

To Make A Pretty Basic System Your Asking.

• Setup The Variables/Definitons

local Players = game:GetService("Players") --Player Service
local Client = Players.LocalPlayer --The Player


--Get The Players Character Model
local Character = Client.Character Or Client.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local NPC = {} --NPC Table

• If The NPC Is In Range Of The Player

local function CheckRange(Distance : number)
     for _, Models in ipairs(NPC) do
          if (Models.HumanoidRootPart - Character.HuamnoidRootPart) <= Distance then
                Models:FindFirstChild('Humanoid'):MoveTo(Vector3.new(Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position))
          end     
     end
end

• If The NPC Is Out Of Range

local function CheckRange(Distance : number)
     for _, Models in ipairs(NPC) do
          if (Models.HumanoidRootPart - Character.HuamnoidRootPart) <= Distance then
                Models:FindFirstChild('Humanoid'):MoveTo(Vector3.new(Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position)) 
          else
               --Continue whatever the NPC(s) were doing
          end     
     end
end

Correct Me If I got something wrong.
