Unable to make syncing rotating and moving at the same time

[coderluau]

Hello all,

I have recently started working on a tower defense game where everything was going fine until I encountered my first enemy system bug where it waits before continuing to the next node when taking corners.

I mean I want it to behave so that it still rotates to face the next target node whilst moving towards it.

Thank you so much for your time.

function EnemyController:Move(Enemy)
	local MovementSpeed = Configurator:GetConfigValue(Enemy, "Base_Walk_Speed")

	local Waypoints = workspace:WaitForChild("Map"):WaitForChild("Nodes")
	local EnemyRoot = Enemy:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart", 5)
	local EnemyHumanoid = Enemy:WaitForChild("Humanoid", 5)
	local EnemyID = Enemy:GetAttribute("ID")

	assert(EnemyRoot, "ERROR: Enemy is not a humanoid model.")
	assert(EnemyHumanoid, "ERROR: Enemy does not have a valid humanoid.")

	-- Collect and sort waypoints numerically
	local sortedWaypoints = {}
	for _, wp in ipairs(Waypoints:GetChildren()) do
		local num = tonumber(wp.Name)
		if num then
			table.insert(sortedWaypoints, {num = num, part = wp})
		end
	end
	table.sort(sortedWaypoints, function(a, b) return a.num < b.num end)

	for idx, waypointData in ipairs(sortedWaypoints) do
		if not Enemy or not Enemy.Parent then break end

		local targetPart = waypointData.part
		local targetPos = targetPart.Position

		-- Calculate movement tween parameters
		local currentPos = EnemyRoot.Position
		local distance = (targetPos - currentPos).Magnitude
		local duration = distance / MovementSpeed

		-- Movement tween: tween only the position, keep the current rotation.
		-- Extract the current rotation from the EnemyRoot's CFrame.
		local currentRotation = EnemyRoot.CFrame - EnemyRoot.Position
		local targetCFrame = CFrame.new(targetPos) * currentRotation

		local moveTweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(duration, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut)
		local moveTween = TweenService:Create(EnemyRoot, moveTweenInfo, {CFrame = targetCFrame})
		moveTween:Play()
		moveTween.Completed:Wait()

		-- If there is another waypoint, perform a quick rotation tween to face it.
		if idx < #sortedWaypoints then
			local nextTargetPos = sortedWaypoints[idx+1].part.Position
			-- Create a CFrame at the enemy's current position facing the next waypoint.
			local desiredCFrame = CFrame.new(EnemyRoot.Position, nextTargetPos)

			local rotateTweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(0.225, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut)
			local rotateTween = TweenService:Create(EnemyRoot, rotateTweenInfo, {CFrame = desiredCFrame})
			rotateTween:Play()
			rotateTween.Completed:Wait()
		else
			-- Last waypoint: destroy enemy
			self:DestroyEnemy(Enemy)
		end
	end
end```

I think you should try using CFrame.LookAt

[coderluau]

Tried it, unfortunately it returns the same result. Do you have another fix?

[bro_proxiomFun (Proxiom)]

do ur enemy have anchored humanoid root part?

[coderluau]

It does not have an anchored rootPart.
It does move, however, when taking corners, it first takes corners and then starts moving toward the next node.

[RubenHgamer (ItsRubenX)]

Probably want to set the rootPart CFrame by adding an AlignOrientation to it and then set the CFrame on the AlignOrientation. Please let me know if that fixes your problem.

[coderluau]

I fixed it.
The problem was basically in how I handled tweens.

Thank you all for your contributions.
