Roblox pathfinding is completely broken?

Hi,

It may sound very silly and i might have looked over something but for some reason pathfinding seems to just be completely broken. My script works like it’s supposed to but it just doesnt generate a valid path or something i think?

local PathfindingService = game:GetService("PathfindingService")
local Girl = workspace:WaitForChild("MagazineGirl")
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

local Path = PathfindingService:CreatePath()

local waypoints
local nextWaypointIndex
local reachedConnection
local blockedConnection

local function CalculatePath(destination)
	print('calculating')
	local success, err = pcall(function()
		Path:ComputeAsync(Girl.PrimaryPart.Position, destination)
	end)
	
	if success and Path.Status == Enum.PathStatus.Success then
		waypoints = Path:GetWaypoints()
		
		if not reachedConnection then
			reachedConnection = Girl.Humanoid.MoveToFinished:Connect(function(reached)
				if reached and nextWaypointIndex < #waypoints then
					nextWaypointIndex += 1 
					Girl.Humanoid:MoveTo(waypoints[nextWaypointIndex].Position)
					CalculatePath(destination)
				else
					reachedConnection:Disconnect()
				end
			end)
		end
		
		print('moving to')
		
		nextWaypointIndex = 2
		Girl.Humanoid:MoveTo(waypoints[nextWaypointIndex].Position)
	else
		warn('no path computed', err)
	end	
end

CalculatePath(Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Position)

Thanks in advance!

reachedConnection must not be false?

#3

Must not be nil. The script gets past this point tho.

#4

Pretty sure it would print “Moving to” even if reachedConnection is true. I may be wrong.

#5

It might, let me test. But still, im telling the script to move to the point and it just doesnt for some reason??

EDIT: I check all of the properties. Nothing is getting in the way.

Make sure the npc is all unanchored.

Pls read my post correctly. I did all of those steps already.

Might be a silly one but is the a walkspeed > 0

Haha didn’t think it would actually work. Glad you fixed it.
