Robot Pathfinding

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hi, thanks for coming here.

I have this meshed robot which I want to script that it moves to a part. I have tried pathfinding but the problem is that I can’t get the whole model to move on the path (only 1 part).

I’m not sure I quite understand.
You’re saying that only one part of the model is actually moving?
Can’t you just use motor6d’s or a rig editor to connect the model’s parts?

#3

Set a primary part to the one where its child is a script that runs the pathfinding service and then weld all the other parts to the primary part. It works

#4

here is your quick answer

#5

Thats not what he meant. He does know how to use the service. Its just the model that is not welded

@zaydoudou you sure about that?

also instead of “he” use “she”

#7

You should read the entire topic to understand.

#8 
local pathParts = game.Workspace.Path

local start = script.Parent.Part (this is the model)

local finish = game.Workspace.Finish (this is where I want to get to)

local PathfindingService = game:GetService("PathfindingService")

local path = PathfindingService:CreatePath()

path:ComputeAsync(start.Position, finish.Position)



local waypoints = path:GetWaypoints()

pathParts:ClearAllChildren()



for _, waypoint in pairs(waypoints) do

local part = Instance.new("Part")

part.Shape = "Ball"

part.Material = "Neon"

part.Size = Vector3.new(0.6, 0.6, 0.6)

part.Position = waypoint.Position

part.Anchored = true

part.CanCollide = false

part.Parent = pathParts

start.Position = waypoint.Position

wait(0.1)

end

ok, then weld all the parts then go move it

#10

This is what I got At the moment.

I don’t mind he or she.

#11

Have you tried my suggestion to fix it?

#12

It doesn’t move when welded for some reason.

#13

It wont because you welded it to a part that doesnt run the script

#14

i’m confused, you said “it works” but she said “it doesn’t move?”

#15

She tried your suggestion. Not mine

#16

That what I got at the moment. Screenshot 2021-06-04 at 10.25.25

Parts are welded and don’t work.

#17

Weld all of the parts inside of the “Part” to the Part

And set the primary part as “Part” (not really necessary but whatever)

Also i dont see that they have an instance called “Weld”

#18

i didn’t told her to weld it, but okay stop i am not going to get involved to an argument
