[Ad1nBlox (Aden)]

Hello guys, recently i’ve been running into stuttering issues with the npcs and not sure what it is?

Please provide the code for the NPC’s movement. If you’re posting in scripting support you need to provide the scripts otherwise people don’t know how to respond.

local function MoveToPosition(Position:"Position", Student:"Student", CurrentLesson:"CurrentLesson", IfInDetention:"Detention",ContinueNoMatterWhat:"Continue path regardless of any params")
	local Path = PathfindingService:CreatePath({WaypointSpacing = 1, AgentRadius = Student:GetExtentsSize().X / 2, AgentHeight = Student:GetExtentsSize().Y, AgentCanJump = true, AgentCanClimb = true})
	Path:ComputeAsync(Student:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Position, Position)

	local Waypoints = Path:GetWaypoints()

	local Blocked = false
	local broke = false

	for i, v in pairs(Waypoints) do
		Student:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):MoveTo(v.Position)
		Student:WaitForChild("Humanoid").MoveToFinished:Wait()
		
		Path.Blocked:Connect(function(CurrentIndex)
			if i <= CurrentIndex or i >= CurrentIndex then
				Blocked = true
			end
		end)
		
		if Student:GetAttribute("Stop") and not ContinueNoMatterWhat then
			broke = true
			break
		end

		if Student:GetAttribute("Exclude") and not ContinueNoMatterWhat then
			broke = true
			break
		end

		if IfInDetention and Student:GetAttribute("Detention") and not ContinueNoMatterWhat then
			broke = true
			break
		end

		if CurrentLesson ~= nil and not ContinueNoMatterWhat then
			if Functions.CheckPeroids(CurrentLesson) then
				broke = true
			end
		end

		if broke == true then 
			break
		end

		if Blocked == true then
			break
		end

		if v.Action == Enum.PathWaypointAction.Jump then
			Student:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping)
		end

		if Student:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Sit == true then
			Student:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Jump = true
		end
		if Student:GetAttribute("Fight") and not ContinueNoMatterWhat then
			broke = true
		end
	end
	
	if broke == true then
		return true
	end

	if Blocked == true then
		MoveToPosition(Position, Student, CurrentLesson)
		--return "Blocked"
	end
end

Is your NPC’s NetworkOwner set to nil?

[Ad1nBlox (Aden)]

Yes, I set the characters parts and its primaryparts networkownership to nil

[Polygonizised (poly)]

Hmm… This problem was happening with me, too, but the solution was to set the HRP’s ownership to nil… Odd.

Add print statements to the section that is actually moving the humanoid and see if it’s being spammed in the output and send a screenshot

[Ad1nBlox (Aden)]

I think that’s the issue, it seems to be spamming it every millisecond

[Ad1nBlox (Aden)]

I’ll try visualising the path and seeing if its 100% the issue.

[zrealmocha (Mocha)]

That’s what I figured. Try removing some of those break statements because you have quite a lot. MoveTo really only needs to be run once so it doesn’t need to move like one stud at a time.
