PathFinding Script Not Working?

So, i made my own custom PathFinding script… So what it does is that it should find the nearest player to it and chase them, yet it doesn’t work? i’ve tried reading doing everything to avoid posting and doing unnecessary actions/posts… but i really cant find a solution… anyways i have no idea on what is causing this bug, what so ever…

Script 
    		local NearestTarget = FindPlayer()
    		local path = PathFindingService:CreatePath()
    		
    		if NearestTarget then
    			path:ComputeAsync(ClanBossModel.HumanoidRootPart.Position, NearestTarget.HumanoidRootPart.Position)
    			print(NearestTarget.Name)
    		end
    		
    		local Waypoints = path:GetWaypoints()
    		
    		for i, waypoint in pairs(Waypoints) do
    			humanoid:WalkTo(waypoint.Position)
    			humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait(2)
    		end

not the full script, tho… but it is where the PathFinding part is…
for some more info here is the screen shot of the bot, after joining the game and the screen shot of the output after joining the game…

hmm no… not really… but there are no obstacles its just plain baseplate, so i dont know why it whould error…

ahhhh, about that… i havent make it clear in the post (sorry about that) but yes, its not moving…

I’m not sure either, but it’s a good step to finding issues, I would also specify agent parameters.

Example 
	local Path = PathfindingService:CreatePath({
	["AgentRadius"] = 4;
	["AgentHeight"] = 5;
	["AgentCanJump"] = false;
})

One thing im confused about that tho, is that the Radius and Height… i mean is Radius X axis? and is Height in the Y axis?

11

Radius would be width, and Height would be how tall, or his Y Axis, most normal characters are around 4-5 studs tall and 4 studs wide.

Hey there!! i added some finishing touches to my script and some things didnt work… i think its the problem with the script itself… can you please take a look at it? oh and it keeps giving me this error:
WalkTo is not a valid member of Humanoid
at this line:

humanoid:WalkTo(waypoint.Position)

this is the script:

		local NearestTarget = FindPlayer()
		
		local pathParams = {
			AgentRadius = 4,
			AgentHeight = 5,
			AgentCanJump = false --default is true
		}
		
		local path = PathFindingService:CreatePath(pathParams)
		
		if NearestTarget then
			path:ComputeAsync(ClanBossModel.HumanoidRootPart.Position, Workspace.Union.Position)
			print(NearestTarget.Name)
		end
		
		local Waypoints = path:GetWaypoints()
		
		for i, waypoint in pairs(Waypoints) do
			humanoid:WalkTo(waypoint.Position)
			humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait(2)
		end

Note: it does print “WhatDid_HeDo” aka my username meaning that the print NearestTarget Works and that HumanoidRootPart isnt anchored

here is a pictures of it not moving:

Thanks so much!!!

It should be Humanoid:MoveTo(<Position Vector3>) for having the humanoid walk to a position.

Or in your case

for i, waypoint in pairs(Waypoints) do
	humanoid:MoveTo(waypoint.Position)
	humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait(2)
end
