I have an NPC Killer in my game, and for some reason, even though it has 3x faster walkspeed than the player, seems to sometimes lag behind the player and not catch up, and only catches up once the player stops walking.
Here is the script im using:
local myHuman = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local myRoot = script.Parent:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local head = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Head")
local lowerTorso = script.Parent:WaitForChild("LowerTorso")
local clone = script.Parent:Clone()
script.Parent.PrimaryPart:SetNetworkOwner(nil)
function walkRandomly()
local xRand = math.random(-50,50)
local zRand = math.random(-50,50)
local goal = myRoot.Position + Vector3.new(xRand,0,zRand)
local path = game:GetService("PathfindingService"):CreatePath()
path:ComputeAsync(myRoot.Position, goal)
local waypoints = path:GetWaypoints()
if path.Status == Enum.PathStatus.Success then
for _, waypoint in ipairs(waypoints) do
if waypoint.Action == Enum.PathWaypointAction.Jump then
myHuman.Jump = true
end
myHuman:MoveTo(waypoint.Position)
local timeOut = myHuman.MoveToFinished:Wait(1)
if not timeOut then
--print("Got stuck")
myHuman.Jump = true
walkRandomly()
end
end
else
--print("Path failed")
wait(1)
walkRandomly()
end
end
function findPath(target)
local path = game:GetService("PathfindingService"):CreatePath()
path:ComputeAsync(myRoot.Position,target.Position)
local waypoints = path:GetWaypoints()
if path.Status == Enum.PathStatus.Success then
for _, waypoint in ipairs(waypoints) do
if waypoint.Action == Enum.PathWaypointAction.Jump then
myHuman.Jump = true
end
myHuman:MoveTo(waypoint.Position)
local timeOut = myHuman.MoveToFinished:Wait(1)
if not timeOut then
myHuman.Jump = true
--print("Path too long!")
findPath(target)
break
end
if checkSight(target) then
repeat
--print("Moving directly to the target")
myHuman:MoveTo(target.Position)
attack(target)
wait(0.1)
if target == nil then
break
elseif target.Parent == nil then
break
end
until checkSight(target) == false or myHuman.Health < 1 or target.Parent.Humanoid.Health < 1
break
end
if (myRoot.Position - waypoints[1].Position).magnitude > 20 then
--print("Target has moved, generating new path")
findPath(target)
break
end
end
end
end
function checkSight(target)
local ray = Ray.new(myRoot.Position, (target.Position - myRoot.Position).Unit * 40)
local hit,position = workspace:FindPartOnRayWithIgnoreList(ray, {script.Parent})
if hit then
if hit:IsDescendantOf(target.Parent) and math.abs(hit.Position.Y - myRoot.Position.Y) < 3 then
--print("I can see the target")
return true
end
end
return false
end
function findTarget()
local dist = 50000
local target = nil
local potentialTargets = {}
local seeTargets = {}
for i,v in ipairs(workspace:GetChildren()) do
local human = v:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
local torso = v:FindFirstChild("Torso") or v:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
if human and torso and v.Name ~= script.Parent.Name then
if (myRoot.Position - torso.Position).magnitude < dist and human.Health > 0 then
table.insert(potentialTargets,torso)
end
end
end
if #potentialTargets > 0 then
for i,v in ipairs(potentialTargets) do
if checkSight(v) then
table.insert(seeTargets, v)
elseif #seeTargets == 0 and (myRoot.Position - v.Position).magnitude < dist then
target = v
dist = (myRoot.Position - v.Position).magnitude
end
end
end
if #seeTargets > 0 then
dist = 200
for i,v in ipairs(seeTargets) do
if (myRoot.Position - v.Position).magnitude < dist then
target = v
dist = (myRoot.Position - v.Position).magnitude
end
end
end
return target
end
function attack(target)
if target.Parent ~= nil then
target.Parent.Humanoid:TakeDamage(100)
end
wait(0.4)
end
function died()
wait(5)
clone.Parent = workspace
game:GetService("Debris"):AddItem(script.Parent,0.1)
end
myHuman.Died:Connect(died)
lowerTorso.Touched:Connect(function(obj)
if not obj.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
myHuman.Jump = true
end
end)
function main()
local target = findTarget()
if target then
myHuman.WalkSpeed = 75
findPath(target)
else
myHuman.WalkSpeed = 20
walkRandomly()
end
end
while wait(0.1) do
if myHuman.Health < 1 then
break
end
main()
end
Also, this might not affect anything, but the NPC is being cloned from ReplicatedStorage to workspace.
