I recently made a monster script that uses moveto that follow pathfinding waypoints to follow nodes, when a players close enough it ditches that node and chases player, but it does it so badly i dont know how to ix it, it either doesnt move in normal and moves in chase or moves in nodes but not chase
Hello,
You could make a variable for when the monster is chasing or in roaming mode, and when following the nodes, check if it’s in a chase or not, and if it is, break out of the loop.
Here’s an exemple:
local Humanoid = Monster.Humanoid
local Waypoints = Path:GetWaypoints() --You should have that part already.
local Chase = false
for i,v in Waypoints do
if Chase == false then
Humanoid:MoveTo(v.Position)
Humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait()
else
break
end
end

If someones there, please help me
Hello!
After looking through your script a bit, and a bit of testing, I may have found a problem.
In your calculatePathTo function, you determine whether your monster should chase or follow the player by checking if there are any waypoints with this if statement: if #waypoints > 0 then. But I did some testing in studio, and saw that there is always a waypoint at the start position, and the end position, which means there will always be a minimum of 2 waypoints, which in result, means that that if statement will never be false. To fix this just replace the 0 with a 2, and hopefully that should fix it.
Also, you can set it to 3 since the start and end positions have to be very close for only 2 waypoints to generate.
If this doesn’t fix your problem, could you provide a video of the problem, and maybe a more in depth explanation, since the one in the original post was a bit hard to follow.
I hope this helps!
