What do you want to achieve? A simple pet following system
-
What is the issue?
while close to the center of the map, there is no issues, however when moving towards the end of the baseplate it starts becoming very choppy and I can’t figure out why. I’ll ammend this post with a video when I can. -
What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
I have tried changing the loops, but to no avail, I’ve tried unanchoring my pet, but that just broke everything, I’m a relatively new scripter so I’m at a loss for what I could’ve done wrong (Other than probably being super innefficient)
