Navigation seems extremely... off

  1. What do you want to achieve? I’m currently building a stratagy game, and I want NPC’s to automatically approach a central objective if there is not an enemy within range.

  2. What is the issue? The units, even though they can jump, get stuck on balconies, they randomly switch direcitons away from the battle and ram themselves into more ledges, and they just don’t acknowledge that the objective exists. I don’t see what could be causing them to go the opposite direction of any destinations

  3. What solutions have you tried so far? I’ve disabled the destination = Humanoid.PrimaryPart.Position code, because I thought that the position was messed up somehow, and I’ve tried looking through the Developer Forums, and couldn’t find an answer. Probably because of how specific this problem is.
