So, I have a script that spawns a mob, then he has to go to the right point, and when he reaches the end then dies and begins a new wave. In principle, this is the basic mechanics of any game of the genre “tower defense”. But as you can see the mob is spawned but does not go. Here are the screenshots and my code: As I understand the problem in the function “Move”
local mob = require(script.Mob)
local map = workspace.map
for wave = 1, 5 do
print("WAVE STARTING:", wave)
if wave < 5 then
--print("1")
mob.Spawn("Mob1", 3 * wave, map)
--print("2")
elseif wave == 5 then
mob.Spawn("Zombie", 100, map)
end
repeat
task.wait(1)
until #map.Mobs:GetChildren() == 0
print("WAVE ENDED")
task.wait(1)
end
This was a script to configure the spawn, and here is my main script that spawns a mob and is engaged in its movement.
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local mob = {}
function mob.Move(mob, map)
local humanoid = mob:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local waypoints = map.Waypoints
for waypoint = 1, #waypoints:GetChildren() do
humanoid:MoveTo(waypoints:GetChildren()[waypoint].Position)
humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait()
end
mob:Destroy()
end
function mob.Spawn(name, quantity, map)
local mobExists = ServerStorage.Mobs:FindFirstChild(name)
if mobExists then
for i = 1, quantity do
task.wait(0.5)
local newMob = mobExists:Clone()
newMob.Parent = map.Mobs
newMob:PivotTo(map.Path.Start.CFrame)
coroutine.wrap(mob.Move)(newMob, map)
end
else
warn("Requested mob does not exists:", name)
end
end
return mob
Yes, I have a Zombie model that I took from the toolbox. And it works fine, it appears to go to the mark, is removed, and then starts a new wave. But here, when I just created a dummy, and gave him clothes model does not want to work
The issue seems to be that the PivotTo method is not moving the mob to the start of the path. Instead, you should set the position of the mob to the start of the path.
Here’s the updated code for the mob.Spawn function:
function mob.Spawn(name, quantity, map)
local mobExists = ServerStorage.Mobs:FindFirstChild(name)
if mobExists then
for i = 1, quantity do
task.wait(0.5)
local newMob = mobExists:Clone()
newMob.Parent = map.Mobs
newMob:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(map.Path.Start.CFrame) -- set the position of the mob to the start of the path
coroutine.wrap(mob.Move)(newMob, map)
end
else
warn("Requested mob does not exists:", name)
end
end
By setting the primary part CFrame of the mob to the start of the path, the mob will start moving towards the waypoints in the mob.Move function.
