[SelDraken]

When would there ever be a humanoid that was not owned by the client or server?
I assume any humanoid created on the client is owned by it? And any humanoid created on the server is owned by it?

Not sure I understand the whole ownership thing.

[Maximum_ADHD]

My Speculation

When the FloorMaterial value was calculated it could send network packets across the server/client boundary when it wasn’t necessary. 100 players observing the FloorMaterial of 100 humanoids would spam a lot of packets around.

The value is now just calculated from the observer’s perspective on the fly without involving any network activity.

[IdiomicLanguage]

Do we know anything about the PathfindingModifier? It seems like just an empty class right now and I can’t find any references.

I’m working on a controller, pathfinder and navigation mesh generator / editor right now (Polaris-Nav). Roblox picking up pathfinder development grabs my attention.

[TeamSwordphin (Phin)]

Very excited to see improvements coming to the PathfindingService!

@IdiomicLanguage PathfindingModifiers (from the limited explanation I got from a Roblox staff) is going to be very useful when you want NPC / AIs to react to certain objects (ie. doors) while pathfinding. They haven’t shared too much but (from my own speculation) I believe the initial release will only cover whitelist/blacklisting parts or some sort of way for an agent to bypass/interact certain structures. Looking forward to more information they will release in the future though, this is very promising for the future of pathfinding.

[IdiomicLanguage]

Yes. It’s a step in the right direction. It is interesting to me that it can modify a mesh. That tells me it is a connection that conditionally exists. This may lead to issues (grabbing keys to unlock other doors means re-finding paths to the doors they unlock). If connections can decrease cost or provide one lower than straight line distance at walkspeed, then the path may not always be the shortest, like missing teleporters or cannons. I’ll be interested to see how they resolve these issues. I have my way to deal with them in my own pathfinder.

Roblox still doesn’t allow modifying meshes or more detailed generation settings like other game engines. It’s still far behind the game.

As a user, I am glad it is coming. It still seems there is room for competition though, and my service (which despite these features and more being present in other game engines in their Recast & Detour implementations, I still hope to replace them all with a better service).

[Usering]

Is there any more information on the HumanoidDescription memory leak?

[ThePoinball]

OH yeah! I was waiting improvement on PathFinding since a big While!!
I hope we will also have more options with the NavigationMesh
