NPC Pathfinding stutters

TheRealpropad12 · November 15, 2021, 2:31am

I’ve got an npc connected to a trailer in which a player can ride in. it is programmed to go to nodes in a certain order. but when i sit in the trailer, the npc stutters for a second when it arrives at a node. Why does this happen and how can i fix it? When no one sits in it it’s fine, is it the player mass maybe?

here

it’s around 50 of those P1 bricks, big course
and the end

TheRealpropad12 · November 15, 2021, 3:19am

What can I do to improve this??

jundell · November 15, 2021, 3:20am

i’m gonna guess it has something to do with network ownership.

TheRealpropad12 · November 15, 2021, 3:21am

So how do i fix it?
I’m new to scripting so i’m not really sure what it means

jundell · November 15, 2021, 3:22am

can you send me the full script? not as a screenshot

TheRealpropad12 · November 15, 2021, 3:24am

do you want me to copy paste it? it’s very long

The P1 in the node means Player 1, and then the number after the underscore is the order it goes in

jundell · November 15, 2021, 3:29am

first of all, definitely make use of a loop instead of that huge mess!
and the stuttering could possibly be caused by the task.wait(0.005).
i removed the wait in this version, does it yield better results when tested?

local NPC = workspace.Noob1 -- (Change "Test" to your NPC name)

task.wait(11)
while true do -- (Change the number to how long you want your npc to stop)
    for i=1, 55 do
	NPC.Humanoid:MoveTo(workspace["P1_" .. tostring(i)].Position)
	NPC.Humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait()
	--task.wait(0.005)
    end
end

TheRealpropad12 · November 15, 2021, 3:30am

yep, it still stutters with your code

jundell · November 15, 2021, 3:32am

could you send a video so i could see what you mean exactly by “stuttering”?

TheRealpropad12 · November 15, 2021, 3:33am

Am i allowed to post youtube links? thats the only way i thinkican send it without it taking 10 mins to upload

TheRealpropad12 · November 15, 2021, 3:35am

here is the video of the stuttering, whenever it hits the box it’s stopping for a second
You can sorta see the other one speeding away because no one is on it

jundell · November 15, 2021, 3:36am

ahhh, i see. give me a second i’m gonna look into it

jundell · November 15, 2021, 3:41am

it might just be MoveToFinished:Wait() taking too long but try this:

local NPC = workspace.Noob1 -- (Change "Test" to your NPC name)

for _, part in pairs(NPC:GetDescendants()) do
	if part:IsA("BasePart") and part:CanSetNetworkOwnership() then
		part:SetNetworkOwner(nil)
	end
end

task.wait(11)
while true do -- (Change the number to how long you want your npc to stop)
	for i=1, 55 do
		NPC.Humanoid:MoveTo(workspace["P1_" .. tostring(i)].Position)
		NPC.Humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait()
		--task.wait(0.005)
	end
end

TheRealpropad12 · November 15, 2021, 3:42am

Wow, that fixed it! Thank you so much!
I thought the Finished thing was important

jundell · November 15, 2021, 3:44am

good to hear! glad to help you out

EKmaster2005 · December 31, 2021, 8:58pm

I tried adding that setnetworkOwner part but it does not work for me.
