really weird issue im having right now, not sure what to do about it, is there something wrong with the code or do things need to be built in a specific way is what im kinda wondering right now.
here is the code for one of the enemies (specifically the tv guy which is seen in two of the image)
local Theef = script.Parent
local humanoid = Theef:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local waypointsFolder = workspace:WaitForChild("enemyWaypoints")
local pfS = game:GetService("PathfindingService")
Theef:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
Theef.PrimaryPart:SetNetworkOwner(nil)
local function canSeeTarget(target)
local origin = Theef.HumanoidRootPart.Position
local direction = (target.HumanoidRootPart.Position - Theef.HumanoidRootPart.Position).Unit * 100
local raycastParams = RaycastParams.new()
raycastParams.FilterDescendantsInstances = {Theef}
raycastParams.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Exclude
raycastParams.CollisionGroup = "InvisWalls"
local raycastResult = workspace:Raycast(origin, direction, raycastParams)
if raycastResult then
if raycastResult.Instance:IsDescendantOf(target) then
return true
end
end
return false
end
local function findTarget()
local players = game.Players:GetPlayers()
local maxDist = 100
local nearestTarget
for index, player in pairs(players) do
if player.Character then
local target = player.Character
local distance = (Theef.HumanoidRootPart.Position - target.HumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude
if distance < maxDist and (player.Backpack:FindFirstChild("Scrap") or player.Character:FindFirstChild("Scrap")) and canSeeTarget(target) then
nearestTarget = target
maxDist = distance
end
end
end
return nearestTarget
end
local function getPath(destination)
local pathParams = {
AgentRadius = 2,
AgentHeight = 10,
AgentMaxSlope = 45,
WaypointSpacing = 2
}
local path = pfS:CreatePath(pathParams)
path:ComputeAsync(Theef.HumanoidRootPart.Position, destination.Position)
return path
end
local function attack(target)
local distance = (Theef.HumanoidRootPart.Position - target.HumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude
if distance > 2 then
local path = getPath(target.HumanoidRootPart)
humanoid:MoveTo(target.HumanoidRootPart.Position)
else
target.Humanoid.Health = 0
end
end
local function walkTo(destination)
local path = getPath(destination)
if path.Status == Enum.PathStatus.Success then
for index, waypoint in pairs(path:GetWaypoints()) do
local target = findTarget()
if target and target.Humanoid.Health > 0 then
Theef.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 22
attack(target)
break
else
Theef.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
humanoid:MoveTo(waypoint.Position)
humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait()
end
end
else
humanoid:MoveTo(destination.Position - (Theef.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector * 10))
end
end
local function patrol()
local waypoints = waypointsFolder:GetChildren()
local randomNum = math.random(1, #waypoints)
walkTo(waypoints[randomNum])
end
while true do
patrol()
end
ive researched a bit into this and the only solution i keep seeing is to make your own pathfinding system or there just isnt any info about it really (or there is also those modules that create better pathfinding scripts but im unsure of how those work lol)
in short, is there either an alternative to this or am i doing something wrong?
