Pathfinding Issues with Jumping Waypoints

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

The image below shows the waypoints for jump appear at the left edge. Why isn’t the waypoint appearing on the right edge? This creates an unusual effect and causes the character to jump midair.

I am testing pathfinding. The code provided below is in a local script and the agent for pathfinding is my character. Please help, much thanks!

local PathfindingService = game:GetService("PathfindingService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")

local path = PathfindingService:CreatePath({
	AgentCanClimb = true
})

local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local TEST_DESTINATION = Vector3.new(63.5, 11.5, 0.5)

local waypoints
local nextWaypointIndex
local reachedConnection
local blockedConnection

local function followPath(destination)
	-- Compute the path
	local success, errorMessage = pcall(function()
		path:ComputeAsync(character.PrimaryPart.Position, destination)
	end)

	if success and path.Status == Enum.PathStatus.Success then
		-- Get the path waypoints
		waypoints = path:GetWaypoints()

		-- Detect if path becomes blocked
		blockedConnection = path.Blocked:Connect(function(blockedWaypointIndex)
			-- Check if the obstacle is further down the path
			if blockedWaypointIndex >= nextWaypointIndex then
				-- Stop detecting path blockage until path is re-computed
				blockedConnection:Disconnect()
				-- Call function to re-compute new path
				followPath(destination)
			end
		end)

		-- Detect when movement to next waypoint is complete
		if not reachedConnection then
			reachedConnection = humanoid.MoveToFinished:Connect(function(reached)
				if waypoints[nextWaypointIndex].Action == Enum.PathWaypointAction.Jump then
					script.Parent.Humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping)
				end
				if reached and nextWaypointIndex < #waypoints then
					-- Increase waypoint index and move to next waypoint
					nextWaypointIndex += 1
					humanoid:MoveTo(waypoints[nextWaypointIndex].Position)
				else
					reachedConnection:Disconnect()
					blockedConnection:Disconnect()
				end
			end)
		end

		-- Initially move to second waypoint (first waypoint is path start; skip it)
		nextWaypointIndex = 2
		humanoid:MoveTo(waypoints[nextWaypointIndex].Position)
	else
		warn("Path not computed!", errorMessage)
	end
end

followPath(TEST_DESTINATION)
