NPC gets stuck in one spot on stairs

[Harrystylesicoo17287]

I have this problem where the npc pathfinds correctly in almost every place but in one particular spot in a stair case it continually jumps in place and is unable to move forward. I have worked around the issue by checking if its stuck and then moving to the next available waypoint if it is indeed stuck. However, I would still like to fix the issue/know the root cause of it.

Anyone know the problem?

I should also mention that I am using skinned rigs. Hip height is set to autmatic scaling and the parts are set to cancollide false.

Have you tried using PathfindingModifiers yet?

Maybe the NPC can’t find any paths on the staircase. You could try doing this:

The red parts are supposed to be transparent uncollidable parts with PathfindingModifiers in them which have PassTrough enabled. These PathfindingModifiers force your NPC to create paths trough them.

I thought pass through meant that objects within the part are ignored?

I have used pathfinding modifiers but not in this case. I have thought of using a modifier to cover the entire top portion of the stairs and then putting a ramp underneath, but i was wondering if there was a simpler way as I would have to remake the stairs so that all the steps are seperate from the base of the satirs.

Can you make the npc jump? roblox may just be gate keeping it cause it thinks it needs to jump, its a humanoid setting btw

Try adding invisible wedges to help pathfinding

Or

this creates the weird sensation that the npcs can walk on air.

What do you mean by this? The npc is jumping when it;s not supposed to. If iturn off jumping for pathfinding it cant go up the stairs at all.

how big are these stairs make the steps smaller.

[Harrystylesicoo17287]

the steps are smaller than the ones you provided in the images, that’s why im confused why it needs to jump.

It shouldn’t normally jump if they’re that small. It might be a problem with your pathfinding script, can we have it?

Ohh ok mb sorry (char limit sucks)

[Harrystylesicoo17287]

I put a large pathfinding modifier to even out the stair case into a ramp. (npc now sees a ramp instead of a staircase and goes up exactly as it should) Works perfectly now. Thanks.
