Hi, I’m making a zombie game on roblox and I’m relatively new to scripting. I’m using pathfinding to have zombies target players, but zombies sometimes have trouble finding the player/ going to the nearest waypoint. I’m wondering if there is something wrong with my code or if this is just normal for roblox’s pathfinding service. Also does anybody know a way to have all the zombie pathfinding at the same time in a non laggy way. Since my script does a for loop its slow from waiting for zombies to move.
Videos were not uploading so here are a few screen shots
At all these points, the zombie got stuck in place
Here is my script
local PathfindingService = game:GetService("PathfindingService")
local manager = require(script.Parent.ZombieManager)
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Wait()
manager.Create("Zombie", CFrame.new(10,15,20))
manager.Create("ArmoredZombie", CFrame.new(-20,10,10))
manager.Create("Flamer", CFrame.new(20,10,10))
function FindClosestPlayer(pos)
local character = nil
local closestDistance = 10000000000
local players = game.Players:GetChildren()
for i=1, #players do
local Character = players[i].Character or players[i].CharacterAdded:Wait()
if (Character.PrimaryPart.Position - pos).Magnitude < closestDistance then
closestDistance = (Character.PrimaryPart.Position - pos).Magnitude
character = Character
end
end
return character
end
while true do
local zombies = workspace.ZombieFolder:GetChildren()
if #zombies > 0 then
for i,v in ipairs(zombies) do
local follower = zombies[i]
local Humanoid = follower.Humanoid
local EndDestination = FindClosestPlayer(follower.PrimaryPart.Position)
local path = PathfindingService:CreatePath()
path:ComputeAsync(follower.HumanoidRootPart.Position, EndDestination.PrimaryPart.Position)
if Humanoid.Health == 0 then
follower:Destroy()
else
if path.Status == Enum.PathStatus.Success then
local nodes = path:GetWaypoints()
Humanoid:MoveTo(nodes[2].Position)
wait()
else
warn("uh oh")
end
end
end
else
wait()
end
end
Thank you
