Hello
SO in my Npc Script i made a walking and a Face target (to look at the enemy or attackebal part) function and well turning to the enmy works but walking is weird and very stacking like anmation laping over each other for some reason caused by face target if i loop it to face the enemy:
Movment Function
local function Movement(targetPosition,Running)
if Running == nil then
hum:MoveTo(root.Position) -- cancel movement
hum.WalkSpeed = 0
StopMovementAnimations() -- to stop animation
return
end
if Npc.Torso:FindFirstChild("MoveSound") then
Movesound = Npc.Torso.MoveSound
Movesound.Looped = true
Movesound.Volume = 0.3
else
Movesound = Instance.new("Sound")
Movesound.Looped = true
Movesound.Parent = Npc.Torso
Movesound.Volume = 0.3
Movesound.Name = "MoveSound"
Movesound.SoundId = "rbxassetid://1181265898"
end
if Running then
hum.WalkSpeed = CharStats.SprintSpeed
if not runTrack.IsPlaying then
walkTrack:Stop()
runTrack:Play()
Movesound:Play()
Movesound.PlaybackSpeed = 1.4
end
else
hum.WalkSpeed = CharStats.BaseWalkSpeed
if not walkTrack.IsPlaying then
runTrack:Stop()
walkTrack:Play()
Movesound:Play()
Movesound.PlaybackSpeed = 1
end
end
if moving then return end
moving = true
local Path = Pathfinding:CreatePath({
AgentRadius = 2,
AgentHeight = 5,
AgentCanJump = true,
AgentCanClimb = true,
cost = {
CrackedLava = 2,
Cobbelstone = 1,
Brick = 1,
Grass = 2,
Ground = 1,
Mud = 1,
Slate = 1,
Rock = 2,
LeafyGrass = 1,
Water = math.huge,
},
})
Path:ComputeAsync(Npc.HumanoidRootPart.Position, targetPosition)
local waypoints = Path:GetWaypoints()
if Path.Status == Enum.PathStatus.Success then
local waypoints = Path:GetWaypoints()
task.spawn(function()
for _, waypoint in ipairs(waypoints) do
local part = Instance.new("Part")
part.Material = "Neon"
part.Anchored = true
part.CanCollide = false
part.Shape = "Ball"
part.Position = waypoint.Position
part.Parent = game.Workspace
if waypoint.Action == Enum.PathWaypointAction.Jump then
hum.Jump = true
end
--FaceTarget(EnemyNpc.HumanoidRootPart)
hum:MoveTo(waypoint.Position)
RunService.Heartbeat:Wait()
end
end)
else
warn(Npc.Name .. " failed to pathfind.")
end
moving = false
end
and thats my face target
local function FaceTarget(target)
if not root or not target then return end
local targetPos = target.Position
local dir = (targetPos - root.Position)
dir = Vector3.new(dir.X, 0, dir.Z)
if dir.Magnitude < 1 then return end
local lookCF = CFrame.lookAt(root.Position, root.Position + dir)
root.CFrame = lookCF
end
i hope anyone has an idea what causes this because i have no clue and hope i can fix it soon
if EnemyNpc and isHolding == false then
isHolding = true -- for wepon holding animation
IdleTrack:Play()
task.spawn(function()
while task.wait() do
if EnemyNpc then
FaceTarget(EnemyNpc.HumanoidRootPart)
if not EnemyNpc or EnemyNpc.Humanoid.Health <= 0 then
EnemyNpc = nil
break
end
elseif EnemyPart then
FaceTarget(EnemyPart)
if not EnemyPart or EnemyPart.Health.Value <= 0 then
EnemyPart = nil
break
end
end
if hum.Health <= 0 then break end
end
end)
end
and move to:
local distance = (root.Position - EnemyNpc.HumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude
if EnemyNpc.Humanoid.Health <= 0 and not detected then
State = "Idle"
EnemyNpc = nil
end
if distance >= 40 and not moving then
Movement(EnemyNpc.HumanoidRootPart.Position, true) -- run
return
end
if distance >= WeaponStats.Range and not moving then
Movement(EnemyNpc.HumanoidRootPart.Position, false) -- walk
return
end
if distance <= WeaponStats.Range then
moving = false
Movement(root.Position, nil)
end
quick note its a collction service script with all npc inside that runs on that logic and well:
local function SetupNPC(Npc)
task.defer(function()
local hum = Npc:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local root = Npc:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
while Npc.Parent and hum and hum.Health > 0 do
NPCLogic(Npc) -- starts the logic do to it not being looped inside
task.wait(0.5)
end
end)
end
You said this issue only arises when you are calling the function to make the NPC face the thing it’s attacking, right? I’m pretty sure changing a rigs position while it’s moving will end the MoveTo right away, so the only solution might be to find another way to make the enemy face the player.
How often are you calling Path:ComputeAsync? Because if you’re repeatedly calling it really fast, then I don’t doubt that’ll cause weird movement as shown in the video. Computing a path is not that cheap.
If you are doing that, then you need to find a more efficient way of creating movement such as by simply using :MoveTo when there’s no obstacles between the target and the enemy, and only computing paths if there obstacles between two subjects and the threshold for change of distance is met (just so you don’t have to calculate the path every time the player moves).
And yeah, try also setting the NPC’s network ownership to nil.
So currently im sorry fro this long response had other things to do i am currently tring to fix somthing else and still try to Research a bit because like Vsauce Vursice mentioned i call it way to often so i need to relook into that too and have still a lot to do because i only have like 2 hour max for developing but still thanks for the replies and help i hope i get it runnning a soon as possibel and keep track of other problems
