Soo I have a script that manages the bots pathfinding and other stuff. I defined the humanoidrootpart but for some reason, in a function it says that my rootpart is trying to index nil with “Position”. I dont know why this is happening
this is basically where the error occurs:
local function Pathfind(destination)
local path = Pathfinding:CreatePath(PathInfo)
path:ComputeAsync(RootPart.Position, destination.Position)
return path
end
Rootpart is the humanoidrootpart of the npc and the destination is basically the positions the npc wants to go to which are the players and waypoints
here’s the function that uses the actual pathfinding:
local function Wandering(Location)
local path = Pathfind(Location)
if path.Status == Enum.PathStatus.Success then
for i,Waypoint in pairs(path:GetWaypoints()) do
if iswalking == false then
local Target = TargetPlayer()
local Player = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(Target)
if Target and Target.Humanoid.Health > 0 and Player:FindFirstChild("Safe") and Player.Safe:IsA("BoolValue") and Player.Safe.Value == false then
Attack(Target)
break
elseif walkingToDoor==false then
RootPart.CanCollide = true
movingPart = Location
Hum.WalkSpeed = normSpeed
AnimWalk()
value.Value = false
if iswalking == false then
Hum:MoveTo(Waypoint.Position)
end
Hum.Died:Connect(function()
respawned()
end)
local moveTime = Hum.MoveToFinished:Wait()
if not moveTime then
IsStuck(true)
else
IsStuck(false)
end
end
end
end
else
local DoorDetect = FindDoor()
if DoorDetect~=nil then
walkingToDoor = true
Hum:MoveTo(DoorDetect.Position + RootPart.CFrame.LookVector * 2)
Hum.MoveToFinished:Wait()
walkingToDoor = false
Wandering(Location)
else
walkingToDoor = true
Hum:MoveTo(Location.Position)
RootPart.CanCollide = false
Hum.MoveToFinished:Wait()
walkingToDoor = false
end
end
end
local function RandomPartWalk()
local waypointsParts = PathwaysParts:GetChildren()
local RandomNum = math.random(1, #waypointsParts)
Wandering(waypointsParts[RandomNum])
end
the AI is a rig model
the issue seems strange because it works on freshly new games but not on my main game.
I tried some stuff out but with no success. I tried to change the rootpart and destination position to the cframes position but of course it gives me an error with the cframe attempting to index nil with position. Then I tried to make an if-statement which just check if the destination or rootpart is nil and if it is it should return nil.
if RootPart == nil or destination == nil then
return nil
end
path:ComputeAsync(RootPart.Position, destination.Position)
also with no success since I got an error in the wandering function which said Im trying to index nil with ‘Status’. So I made a check if the status is nil and if it is it should basically return.
if path == nil then
return
end
this basically fixed all the errors, made the npc work but really broken. it barely walks. Does anyone have an idea of fixing it?
