Pathfindservice memory doesn’t lower at all, when the paths get deleted, or when the scripts containing them get deleted.
The code provided is used in the pathfindingservice api reference. PathfindingService | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub
local Workspace = game:GetService("Workspace")
local PathfindingService = game:GetService("PathfindingService")
-- This model contains a start, end and three paths between the player can walk on: Snow, Metal and LeafyGrass
local PathOptionsModel = script.Parent.PathOptions
local startPosition = PathOptionsModel.Start.Position
local finishPosition = PathOptionsModel.End.Position
-- Create a path that avoids Snow and Metal materials
-- This will ensure the path created avoids the Snow and Metal paths and guides
-- the user towards the LeafyGrass path
local path = PathfindingService:CreatePath({
AgentRadius = 3,
AgentHeight = 6,
AgentCanJump = false,
Costs = {
Snow = math.huge,
Metal = math.huge,
},
})
-- Compute the path
local success, errorMessage = pcall(function()
path:ComputeAsync(startPosition, finishPosition)
end)
-- Confirm the computation was successful
if success and path.Status == Enum.PathStatus.Success then
-- For each waypoint, create a part to visualize the path
for _, waypoint in path:GetWaypoints() do
local part = Instance.new("Part")
part.Position = waypoint.Position
part.Size = Vector3.new(0.5, 0.5, 0.5)
part.Color = Color3.new(1, 0, 1)
part.Anchored = true
part.CanCollide = false
part.Parent = Workspace
end
else
print(`Path unable to be computed, error: {errorMessage}`)
end
Even once the path is destroyed and set to nil, the memory does not lower.
System Information: Intel i9-12900KF, 64 GB, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 OC
Expected behavior
The memory should lower, or return to 0 once all references to pathfindingservice is removed from the game.
