NPC doesn't follow path when having a HumanoidRootPart

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I am creating a new pathfinding module and it works fine except for it only being compatible with rigs that don’t have a HumanoidRootPart. I don’t know why when I delete the rootpart it starts working but when there is a rootpart, the npc doesn’t follow the path. Any help is appreciated. Here is my script:

--// Services
local PathFindingService = game:GetService("PathfindingService")

--// OOP
local Path = {}
Path.__index = Path

--// Variables
local waypoints = nil
local AR, AH, ACJ = 5, 10, true
local currentWaypointIndex = 2

function onWaypointReached(reached, npc)
	local humanoid = npc:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
	
	if reached and currentWaypointIndex < #waypoints then
		currentWaypointIndex = currentWaypointIndex + 1
		humanoid:MoveTo(waypoints[currentWaypointIndex].Position)
	end
end

function onPathBlocked(blockedWaypointIndex, npc, endpart, vector)
	if blockedWaypointIndex > currentWaypointIndex then
		if vector == true then
			local path = Path.new(npc, vector)
			path.Move()
		else
			local path = Path.new(npc, endpart)
			path.Move()
		end
	end
end

function setPath(npc, endpart, vector)
	local params = {AgentRadius = AR, AgentHeight = AH, AgentCanJump = ACJ}
	local path = PathFindingService:CreatePath(params)
	
	if npc:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")then
		if vector ~= nil then
			if npc:FindFirstChild("UpperTorso")then
				path:ComputeAsync(npc:WaitForChild("UpperTorso").Position, vector)
				path.Blocked:Connect(onPathBlocked, npc, endpart, vector)
				
			elseif npc:FindFirstChild("Torso") then
				path:ComputeAsync(npc:WaitForChild("Torso").Position, vector)
				path.Blocked:Connect(onPathBlocked, npc, endpart, vector)
			end
		else
			if npc:FindFirstChild("UpperTorso")then
				path:ComputeAsync(npc:WaitForChild("UpperTorso").Position, endpart.Position)
		
				path.Blocked:Connect(onPathBlocked, npc, endpart, vector)
			
				npc.Humanoid.MoveToFinished:Connect(function(status)	
					onWaypointReached(status, npc)
				end)
				
			elseif npc:FindFirstChild("Torso")then
				path:ComputeAsync(npc:WaitForChild("Torso").Position, endpart.Position)
		
				path.Blocked:Connect(onPathBlocked, npc, endpart, vector)
			
				npc.Humanoid.MoveToFinished:Connect(function(status)	
					onWaypointReached(status, npc)
				end)
			end
		end
		
	elseif npc:IsA("BasePart")then
		if vector ~= nil then
			path:ComputeAsync(npc.Position, vector)
		else
			path:ComputeAsync(npc.Position, endpart.Position)
		end
	end
	
	return path
end

function Path.new(npc, endgoal, vector)
    local newPath = {}
    setmetatable(newPath, Path)
	
	local getpath = setPath(npc, endgoal, vector)
	newPath.FollowPath = getpath
	
	newPath.Move = function()
		if getpath then
			waypoints = getpath:GetWaypoints()
		
			local hum
			waypoints = getpath:GetWaypoints()
		
			if npc:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")then
				hum = npc:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
			end
		
			if getpath.Status == Enum.PathStatus.Success then
				if hum then
					if waypoints[currentWaypointIndex] then
						local pos = waypoints[currentWaypointIndex].Position
						hum:MoveTo(pos)
						hum.MoveToFinished:Wait()
					end
				end
			end
		end
	end
		
	return newPath
end

return Path

By the way, I am using a regular r15 rig to test my module on. Further information may be provided.

EDIT: I found the issue although my problem is not solved. It is because of the MoveTo and it seems to not work when the npc has a HumanoidRootPart.

Did you check if root part is anchored? It shouldn’t be. When you are importing rig with rig builder (roblox built in plugin) the root part is anchored

Ah, I feel so stupid now. Thanks for the help.
