This may help …

Cleaned it up a bit

This kind of stuff really helps pathfinding also …

local H = math.huge
local Agents={WaypointSpacing=(5),
	AgentRadius=(1), AgentHeight=(0),
	AgentCanJump=(false), AgentCanClimb=(false),
	Costs={Metal=H, Basalt=H, LeafyGrass=H, SmoothPlastic=H}
}

I thought it would make sense to send a place file so here you guys go
TestingPlace.rbxl (71.3 KB)

Anybody know whats wrong exactly? I am pretty lost on it
