It works rotating the character but it also makes them jitter and barely move. I think I should also mention that the rotation function is connected to a Heartbeat event.
ur in a local script or a server script? if you’re in a server script u can either use a while loop, or a runservice
I’m running this in a serverscript. And wouldn’t while loop cause the same issue? From what I understand the jittering and slow movement stems form the CFrame getting updated too fast
I’ve tried updating CFrame after the NPC reached a waypoint but that made it look like it’s teleporting instead
can i see ur whole npc moving script thing? so i could see what’s happening behind the code
local function FollowPlayer(Player)
Path:ComputeAsync(Character.PrimaryPart.Position, Player.PrimaryPart.Position)
if Path.Status == Enum.PathStatus.Success then
Waypoints = Path:GetWaypoints()
local TargetWaypoint = math.clamp(#Waypoints,0,3)
if TargetWaypoint <= 1 then return end
if not Player or Player.Humanoid.Health <= 0 then return end
if Waypoints[TargetWaypoint].Action == Enum.PathWaypointAction.Jump then
TargetWaypoint = math.clamp(TargetWaypoint+2,1,#Waypoints)
Hum.Jump = true
Hum:MoveTo(Waypoints[TargetWaypoint].Position)
else
Hum:MoveTo(Waypoints[TargetWaypoint].Position)
end
local Reached = false
local Break = false
BlockedConnection = Path.Blocked:Connect(function()
BlockedConnection:Disconnect()
Break = true
return
end)
ReachedConnection = Hum.MoveToFinished:Connect(function()
ReachedConnection:Disconnect()
Reached = true
end)
task.delay(.2,function()
if not Reached and not Break then
Break = true
end
end)
repeat task.wait() until Reached or Break
end
end
And this code is connected to a while true do loop
seems to me that you’re using pathfinding
about that, i did find a post, but again i might be wrong bout this, anyway here is the post: Pathfinding NPC stuttering
its basically talking about a npc stuttering/jittering
edit: after more researching, it might be a network issue, just make sure u set the network in the code
The pathfinding isn’t what’s causing the jittering, it’s the code you suggested to make the NPC rotate towards the player, as it sets CFrame too fast not letting the character move. That’s why I was asking for help with setting C0 of the RootJoint instead of CFrame
well when the enemy chases the player shouldnt it just like auto rotate
Autorotate causes the NPC to face the direction it’s moving, not the player. Plus I want to make it so the NPC looks at the player even if they are out of reach
tho i got one question, is there just 1 player in the game or multiple?
There’s gonna be multiple players in the game
so basically what you want to do is to chase the nearest player? while also looking at him, from far away right?

do u want the enemy to look at its current target for a little amount of seconds and then chase him?
btw, im asking theese questions so i can know how i can just fix the issue
No I’m trying to make the NPC look at target throughout, and while the player is out of reach
i do have a question, did u write also this piece of line?
Character.PrimaryPart:SetNetworkOwner(nil)
No I didn’t, what does the line do?
well on a few chase scripts i usually saw this line being put, heres a more clear documentation on it
it does something with lag or i dont really know… i also need to have a better research on it
it might not be needed but i just wanted to point this out
edit: i also found this post (might not match ur solution):
also one more thing in ur case, which u want the enemy to look at the target even if its far away, you’d probally have to do something like raycasting, or just check if the distances are too far and then make the enemy lookat the target and then, just chase it
(i am still not clear, of what you want)
So I found a way to ALMOST fix it, I’m just stuck at what I think should be the final part. I’ve made the rotate towards a certain point by offsetting the C0. However I’ve ran into another issue, if the character model’s rotation is not 0,0,0 then it will be offset by the Y value of the model’s rotation. Any ideas on how I can fix this?
My code:
script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.RootJoint.C0 = CFrame.new(Vector3.new(0,0,0),CFrame.lookAt(Pos.Position,Vector3.new(Target.X,Pos.Position.Y,Target.Z)).LookVector)
script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.RootJoint.C1 = CFrame.new(Vector3.new(0,0,0),Vector3.new(0,0,0))
Okay nevermind I fixed it myself, here’s the code for those who may run into the same issue:
script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.RootJoint.C0 = CFrame.new(Vector3.new(0,0,0),CFrame.lookAt(Pos.Position,Vector3.new(Target.X,Pos.Position.Y,Target.Z)).LookVector)*CFrame.Angles(math.rad(Rot.X),math.rad(Rot.Y),math.rad(Rot.Z)):Inverse()
script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.RootJoint.C1 = CFrame.new(Vector3.new(0,0,0),Vector3.new(0,0,0))
Rot is rotation of primary part
Pos is CFrame of primary part
Target is where you want character to look
