Hello! Im currently attempting to create a “smart” Monster that will lock onto a target until it exists its vision radius. Once the target is out the monster will continue to wonder randomly untill it finds a new target.
For some reason whenever i move the target out of radius, the monster will continue to follow the target. Even when i destroy the target it keeps pathfinding its way towards the targets last location.
Here is the code i used
function RandomWalk()
local xRan = math.random(-100, 100)
local zRand = math.random(-100,100)
local goal = model.PrimaryPart.Position + Vector3.new(xRan,0,zRand)
local path = PFS:CreatePath()
path:ComputeAsync(model.PrimaryPart.Position, goal)
local points = path:GetWaypoints()
for i, v in pairs(hum:GetPlayingAnimationTracks()) do
if v.Name ~= "Void Walk" then
v:Stop()
end
end
local anim = hum.Animator:LoadAnimation(walk)
anim:Play()
if path.Status == Enum.PathStatus.Success then
for i, point in pairs(points) do
if point.Action == Enum.PathWaypointAction.Jump then
hum.Jump = true
end
hum:MoveTo(point.Position)
local timeout = hum.MoveToFinished:Wait()
if not timeout then
print("stuck!!")
hum.Jump = true
RandomWalk()
end
end
else
print("Path failed :(")
task.wait(2)
RandomWalk()
end
end
function findPath(target)
local path = PFS:CreatePath()
path:ComputeAsync(model.PrimaryPart.Position, target.Position)
local points = path:GetWaypoints()
for i, v in pairs(hum:GetPlayingAnimationTracks()) do
if v.Name ~= "Void Run" then
v:Stop()
end
end
local anim = hum.Animator:LoadAnimation(run)
anim:Play()
for i, point in pairs(points) do
if path.Status == Enum.PathStatus.Success then
for i, point in pairs(points) do
if point.Action == Enum.PathWaypointAction.Jump then
hum.Jump = true
end
hum:MoveTo(point.Position)
local timeout = hum.MoveToFinished:Wait()
if not timeout then
print("stuck!!")
hum.Jump = true
-- findPath(target)
break
end
if checkSight(target) then
repeat
task.wait(1)
if target == nil then
break
elseif target.Parent == nil then
break
end
hum:MoveTo(target.Position)
until checkSight(target) == false or target == nil
break
end
if (model.PrimaryPart.Position - points[1].Position).Magnitude > 20 then
findPath(target)
break
end
end
end
end
end
function checkSight(target:BasePart)
local parms = RaycastParams.new()
parms.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Exclude
parms.FilterDescendantsInstances = {model}
local ray = workspace:Raycast(model.PrimaryPart.Position, (target.Position - model.PrimaryPart.Position).Unit * 50, parms)
if ray then
if ray.Instance:IsDescendantOf(target.Parent) and math.abs(ray.Position.Y - model.PrimaryPart.Position.Y) < 3 then
print("target located")
return true
end
else
return false
end
end
function findTarget()
local distance = 150
local target = nil
local targets = {}
local potentialTargets = {}
print(target)
for i, v in pairs(workspace:GetChildren()) do
local hum = v:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
local torso = v:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
if hum and torso and v.Name ~= model.Name then
if (model.PrimaryPart.Position - torso.Position).Magnitude < distance then
table.insert(potentialTargets, torso)
end
end
end
if #potentialTargets > 0 then
for i, v in pairs(potentialTargets) do
if checkSight(v) then
table.insert(targets, v)
print("yay0")
elseif #targets == 0 and (model.PrimaryPart.Position - v.Position).Magnitude < distance then
print((model.PrimaryPart.Position - v.Position).Magnitude)
target = v
distance = (model.PrimaryPart.Position - v.Position).Magnitude
end
end
end
if #targets > 0 then
distance = 150
print("yay2")
for i, v in pairs(targets) do
if (model.PrimaryPart.Position - v.Position).Magnitude < distance then
target = v
distance = (model.PrimaryPart.Position - v.Position).Magnitude
end
end
end
if target then
---------------------------
--Void Scream and Effects
print("EEEEEEEEE")
end
print(target)
return target
end
function main()
local target = findTarget()
print(target)
if target then
hum.WalkSpeed = 20
hum.JumpPower = 10
findPath(target)
else
print("lalalalla!")
hum.WalkSpeed = 4
hum.JumpPower = 2
RandomWalk()
end
end
while task.wait(1) do
if model.Dependents.Health.Value <= 0 then
break
end
main()
end
Heres where i think the problem is located
function findPath(target)
local path = PFS:CreatePath()
path:ComputeAsync(model.PrimaryPart.Position, target.Position)
local points = path:GetWaypoints()
for i, v in pairs(hum:GetPlayingAnimationTracks()) do
if v.Name ~= "Void Run" then
v:Stop()
end
end
local anim = hum.Animator:LoadAnimation(run)
anim:Play()
for i, point in pairs(points) do
if path.Status == Enum.PathStatus.Success then
for i, point in pairs(points) do
if point.Action == Enum.PathWaypointAction.Jump then
hum.Jump = true
end
hum:MoveTo(point.Position)
local timeout = hum.MoveToFinished:Wait()
if not timeout then
print("stuck!!")
hum.Jump = true
-- findPath(target)
break
end
if checkSight(target) then
repeat
task.wait(1)
if target == nil then
break
elseif target.Parent == nil then
break
end
hum:MoveTo(target.Position)
until checkSight(target) == false or target == nil
break
end
if (model.PrimaryPart.Position - points[1].Position).Magnitude > 20 then
findPath(target)
break
end
end
end
end
end
Heres an example of the issue
There are zero errors in the output and ive edited the script in various ways. Unfortunately i couldnt find the issue.
It would be a big help if someone were to point out where the issue lies. Thank you for reading
