What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
-I want to add a pathfind for my soldier bot
What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
-So after I added pathfind to my bot I tested it out, and to my surprise it’s broken. You see if the bot detects a humanoidrootpart it will shoot the target instantly, but after I added pathfind it tends to pause the bot for a moment before shooting. And this is a huge problems because the distance from the bot to the target also effects the delay for some reason. For example I put the bot in front of a target it will shoots instantly, but if I put it let’s say 100 studs away it could take 3-5 seconds for it to shoot.
What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
I have tried multiple solutions weather it be writing a new code to try and replace the old one (which is somehow worse), browse on forums for pathfind fixes and make a separate script.
This is the script I separated from the main code
local Mod = require(script.Parent.Config)
local detectdist = Mod.detectdist
local distancegap = Mod.distancegap
local PFS = game:GetService("PathfindingService")
local char = script.Parent
local MHumanoidrootpart = char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local MHumanoid = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local origin = MHumanoidrootpart.Position
local RS = game:GetService("RunService")
local function findNearestHMRP(ddist)
local closestHrp = nil
local pathtoHrp = nil
for i, v in pairs(workspace.Test:GetDescendants()) do
local hrp = v:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
if hrp then
local tmpDis = (hrp.Position - origin).Magnitude
local hum = v:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if tmpDis < ddist and hum and hum.Health > 0 then
ddist = tmpDis
pathtoHrp = hrp
end
end
end
return pathtoHrp
end
local function pathfind(pathtoHrp)
if pathtoHrp then
local path = PFS:CreatePath()
path:ComputeAsync(MHumanoidrootpart.Position, pathtoHrp.Position)
local waypoints = path:GetWaypoints()
for i, waypoint in pairs(waypoints) do
if waypoint.Action == Enum.PathWaypointAction.Jump then
MHumanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping)
end
if (pathtoHrp.Position - MHumanoidrootpart.Position).Magnitude <= distancegap then
MHumanoid:MoveTo(MHumanoidrootpart.Position)
MHumanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait()
else
MHumanoid:MoveTo(waypoint.Position)
MHumanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait()
end
end
end
end
while RS.Heartbeat:Wait() do
if MHumanoid.Health < 1 then
break
end
local pathtoHrp = findNearestHMRP(detectdist)
if pathtoHrp and (MHumanoidrootpart.Position - pathtoHrp.Position).Magnitude >= distancegap then
pathfind(pathtoHrp)
end
--distancegap
--detectdist
end
Your function pathfind(pathtoHrp) is stalling the while loop since the the function is pausing the thread with MHumanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait()
You would have to run your pathfinder function on a separate thread and deal with script timing issues/race conditions if you want the AI to be doing other things on top of just moving along a path.
local pathtoHrp
task.defer(function()
while RS.Heartbeat:Wait() do
if pathtoHrp and (MHumanoidrootpart.Position - pathtoHrp.Position).Magnitude >= distancegap then
pathfind(pathtoHrp)
end
end
end)
while RS.Heartbeat:Wait() do
if MHumanoid.Health < 1 then
break
end
pathtoHrp = findNearestHMRP(detectdist)
--distancegap
--detectdist
end
I have tried it, but the problem is still there. Maybe it’s a problem with the main code itself? (I have 2 scripts, 1 for pathfinding and 1 for shooting)

I tried to combine them into one and the problem is still there.
Ok so, I found out that I wasn’t updating my origin of the raycast and that it’s not the pathfinding’s fault. oops. Thx everyone who reply anyway, I appreciate it
