- What do you want to achieve?
- I want to resolve an issue with the movement between waypoints.
- What is the issue?
- Sometimes, when it reach the end of a waypoint, it get teleportation-like behavior, which is unintended and affects the smoothness of the movement.
- What solutions have you tried so far?
- I’ve attempted to address the issue by adjusting the movement and waypoint logic, but the problem persists. I’ve also looked for solutions on the Devforum without success.
Description:
- The movement issue occurs when it reach the end of a waypoint. Instead of smoothly transitioning to the next waypoint, it seem to teleport back a bit.

I think is maby because updatePokemonPosition in the ModuleScript.
local function updatePokemonPosition(pokemonId, currentWaypoint, elapsedTime, speed)
local waypoints = workspace.Path.Waypoints
local startPosition = waypoints[currentWaypoint].Position
local endPosition = waypoints[currentWaypoint + 1].Position
local totalDistance = (endPosition - startPosition).Magnitude
local Speed = totalDistance / speed --pokemon.PrimaryPart.WalkSpeed
local progress = elapsedTime / Speed
if progress <= 1 then
local newPosition = startPosition:Lerp(endPosition, progress)
local pokemonData = pokemonsData[pokemonId]
if pokemonData then
pokemonData.StartPos = startPosition
pokemonData.EndPos = newPosition
end
end
end
