Waypoint based moving object

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hi developers, I’m making this object move around following a set of waypoints. I have that part done, but after the object has reached the last way point, I want it to go back to the start and carry on. Script;

local mover = script.Parent
local waypoints = workspace.waypoints

for waypoint=1, #waypoints:GetChildren() do
    mover.Humanoid:MoveTo(waypoints[waypoint].Position)
    mover.Humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait()
end
#2 
local mover = script.Parent
local waypoints = workspace.waypoints

for waypoint=1, #waypoints:GetChildren() do
    if waypoint > #waypoints then
       waypoint = 1
    else
       mover.Humanoid:MoveTo(waypoints[waypoint].Position)
       mover.Humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait()
    end
end

Untested.

Hi, so I tested, doesnt seem to work the best, the output just says this,

Workspace.Cleaner.Script:5: attempt to get length of a Instance value
#4

May I ask you what workspace.waypoints is?

#5

Its a folder

#6 
local mover = script.Parent
local waypoints = workspace.waypoints

for waypoint=1, #waypoints:GetChildren() do
    if waypoint > #waypoints:GetChildren() then
       waypoint = 1
    else
       mover.Humanoid:MoveTo(waypoints[waypoint].Position)
       mover.Humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait()
    end
end
#7 
local mover = script.Parent
local waypoints = workspace.waypoints

local idx = 1

while true do
  local num = #waypoints:GetChildren()

  if idx > num then idx = 1 end

  mover.Humanoid:MoveTo(waypoints[idx].Position)
  mover.Humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait()
  idx += 1
end

change to:

#waypoints:GetChildren()

see if that works

#12

So do you mean after it reached the last waypoint it follows the waypoint in reverse(instead of 1 to 2 its 2 to 1)

#13

I found the issue to be where I had too many waypoints so there was proably too much data. I dont know how it works but yea.
