Try some higher refresh rates like 0.2, 0.3, or 0.4. If it doesn’t work, keep modifying the values (both the refresh_rate and deltaTime multiplier).

it still cuts corners a lot. I tried a bunch of different values

#123

Could you send a video of what this looks like? I’m confused on why it doesn’t work in the start but works later.

You can see all the enemies not cutting corners after they all spawn in.

#125

Ohhhhhh, I thought you said it only worked near the end, but I guess you meant the opposite. Could you clarify though? I don’t want to assume anything.

#126

Oh, after they finish spawning, they work in perfect order.

#127

Like what is the problem? I thought it was that they were cutting corners, but it doesn’t appear so?

Also, is the enemy a Model? If the problem is about loading, you could add a task.wait before beginning the path.

#128

no, they still cut corners when they are spawning in. If you look at the vid, you can see the enemies move really fast toward the pack.

#129

Those aren’t enemies, those are body parts. This entire time I thought you meant the path they were taking was off course or something.

Can you test something for me and turn off streaming enabled? If it looks perfectly fine, then we know it was a loading problem, and I can find a solution for that.

#130

yep its streaming enabled being streaming enabled. Sooooo how do i fix it?

#131

Can you show me the StreamingEnabled settings? Try turning up the streaming radius and changing some settings.

You could also do what I said earlier:

#132

Yeah I don’t think I can use streaming Enabled. Also, it’s really laggy at the start. Can I optimize it more

#133

Are the model’s parts not loading quickly enough? You can also try caching the CFrame positions of each bezier path so you don’t have to calculate it every time.

Uhm… Dosent it already do that?

#135

You’re saving the BezierPath, but you’re still doing this every time:

#136

so do I save that to a table, and use that?

Wait so do i create it for every enemy?

#138

Like with streaming enabled turned off?

Also, no need. I just realized BezierPath already caches it.

#139

Yeah, its laggy at the start with streaming enabled turned off.

#140

You can try making the enemy a part on the server, and then on the client, use the actual model. Are you also using the newest version of BezierPath? It was released 3 days ago.

And by laggy, I’m assuming you mean the parts aren’t loading quickly enough right?
