I was trying to make my AI Piggy-like, it works really good and it’s smooth. Only issue I am dealing with is the “spam jump”. It makes NPC unable to move.

Bumping this. (letter limit 2u863781)
Do the AI’s Humanoid properties have these options disabled?
nope, UseJumpPower is enabled and JumpPower is 50.
Can you send your script? It would help with debugging it,
I’m afraid I cannot do that. I will make a game to download if you want to see it.
And you cannot share the script behind the main pathfind because? Surely it’d look something along the lines of
get waypoints
for loop
if action == jump
jump
else
move
end

no that’s not like it. I don’t know, I will check.
Try turning all the options off like how it is in the screenshot
Bot was decompiled from original game, it’s the same.

if anyone wants to try the AI itself, here it is.
Looks like there it jumps everytime it thinks its stuck
Yeah I know, it’s terrible… Really.
I did saw your video, but I still want it to jump.
Don’t really know what else to suggest other than changing block of code where instead of jumping it’ll just go through whatever its blocking and if that doesnt work then teleport the npc somewhere else in the map if the function returns nil more than 10x or something good luck on your game though!:
Yeaahhhh… that would never work, not in million years.
Thats a common pathfinding error, its very common, it happens because the path calculates while the AI is in air(when jumping) and to party fix that set CanJump to False
Add trusses around everything you want the monster to go over. Make it so only the monster can collide with the trusses. Make can climb true and set jump height to 0
Roblox is telling your ai to jump all the time with its pathfind request.
You can either disable jumping entirely (not ideal) or find a work around I.e go around your map and setup p-
Your entire AI script does not make sense to me, following the 3rd waypoint constantly gets you nowhere.
Instead you should try to ignore the 1st-2nd waypoint go from 3 and follow up to lets say 7-10 waypoint then find a new path to not keep the ai that far behind.
I have NOT adjusted your script to do this for you, what I have done is added a visual path and printing when its jumping.
Look into for loops.
