Trouble implementing tile-based pathfinding

[NolanCYT (Him)]

Hello! I am making a Pokémon Mystery Dungeon remake (I do not plan on releasing it, it’s just a passion project). And the main gameplay gimmick is tile-based, turn-based movement.

And I am having trouble figuring out how to implement pathfinding for the enemies because the way I set up the tile based movement was using actual parts as tiles (see image below). And models that tween to the nearest tile the player is trying to go.

And I don’t know how to keep the pathfinding contained within those tiles as most of the pathfinding modules or script I’ve found bug out when I apply them to this.

Any help?

you can use a for loop and store waypoint positions for each part in a table

local waypoints = {}

for i = 1, #partsFolder do

     if partsFolder[i]:IsA('BasePart') then

          table.insert(waypoints, partsFolder[i].Position)

     end

end

Then when parts get removed from the waypoint parts folder, you can use a script connection to remove the stored waypoint(s).

partsFolder.ChildRemoving:Connect(function(child)

if child:IsA('BasePart') then

     local findInTable = table.find(waypoints, child.Position)

     if #partsFolder > 0 then

          table.remove(waypoints, findInTable)

     else

          for i = 1, #waypoints do

               table.remove(waypoints, i)

          end

     end

end
