Hello, so i’ve made a non-humanoid enemy npc. I originally used a Humanoid and it worked fine, but the problem was that it’s movements looked very jittery and weird, the enemy didn’t look like it was floating at all. Now the problem here is that no matter what the Path Status is always NoPath for some reason, so the Hover_To function’s code won’t work. It might be a problem with the AgentHeight or AgentRadius but i tried playing around with those and it didn’t work.
The model itself contains the parts and a root, which is supposed to act like HumanoidRootPart , all the other parts are unanchored, massless and welded to the anchored, unwelded, massless Root using WeldConstraints. The waypoints are 4 small green cubes with no collision and a size of 1, 1, 1. Here is the script (it is a server script inside the Model of the NPC).
