Non Collidable blocks for Ai(Server) and Collidable blocks for Player(Client)

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello, i have an Pathfinding ai that gets stuck on objects alot so i made a folder with the blocks the ai gets stuck on, then made it all with CanCollide off, i put a script in the StarterPlayerScripts in the player that makes everything in the folder Collideable, this worked on my old world but i made a new one and it no longer works, is there another way to do this or fix the script?

for _, child in ipairs(game.Workspace["Part 1"].BlockList:GetChildren()) do
	if child:IsA("Part") then
		child.CanCollide = true
	end
end

instead of Child.Collide i did print(Child.name) and it gets everything in the folder but wont work.

From what I am assuming Collision Groups don’t work well with Ai?

It’s just I feel that it would simply be easier to set the blacklist to a CollisionGroup that allows the ai to go threw but then have a localscript that sets the player to a preexisting CollisionGroup that does the opposite.

have you tried running this script in a localscript?

Yeah that’s what it’s orginally in

	if child:IsA("BasePart") then
		child.CanCollide = true
	end
end

Check if the child is a BasePart instead?

I don’t think it’ll work, the original world had the script where it Dident check if it was a block or anything and it worked fine but I changed it to check if it was a part in the new worked or see if it would work and it doesn’t

But it should, parts are called “baseparts”

Edit: A video would help

May I take a look at the item tree of the folder? perhaps there might be something wrong with that.
