PathfindingService always returning PathStatus.NoPath for no reason

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

im currently trying to make an AI that chases the player around the map but it randomly seems to stop working and returning PathStatus.NoPath all of a sudden along with this, the AI also suddenly walks into walls and this continues no matter where the player moves im currently using SimplePath for the AI btw if that helps (ik it’s returning PathStatus.NoPath cause i looked at simplepath’s code to see how it handles computationalerrors)

code?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

#3

I’m on mobile rn so I can’t send it but u can search up SimplePath to get it, all I’m doing is using :Run() in a loop

#5

incase its helpful heres the code im using (its in a module with a ChasePlayer method that is ran in a while loop):

local MoveDirection = Vector3.zero

if self:IsPathToPlayerBlocked(self.Rig, self.NearestPlayer) == false then
	-- calculate distance to be applied between enemies so they dont form a massive clump
	local NumberNPCsApplied = 0

	for _, OtherNPC in pairs(workspace.Enemies:GetChildren()) do
		if OtherNPC == self.Rig then
			continue
		end

		if OtherNPC:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") == nil then
			continue
		end

		local Direction = OtherNPC.HumanoidRootPart.Position - self.RootPart.Position
		local Distance = Direction.Magnitude

		if Distance < 10 then
			NumberNPCsApplied += 1

			MoveDirection += -Direction.Unit
		end
	end

	if NumberNPCsApplied ~= 0 then
		MoveDirection /= (NumberNPCsApplied / 10)
	end
end

self.Path:Run(self.NearestPlayer.HumanoidRootPart.Position + MoveDirection)
