Why does MoveTo() Do this?

So I have a game where a npc walks toward the player, but when the player is going fast this happens,

blue = where its suppose to go
red = where it goes

here’s my server script where the npc moves,


game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
		local hum = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
		hum.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
			if hit.Name == "Area" and char.peeps.Value < char.maxpeeps.Value and char and char:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")  then
				
				hit.CanTouch = false

				local person = hit:FindFirstChild("person")
				
				if person then
					
					char.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = true
					task.wait()
					person.Peepoid:MoveTo(char.Torso.Position)
					
					
					
			
					
					person.Peepoid.MoveToFinished:Connect(function()
						person:Destroy()
						char.peeps.Value = char.peeps.Value + 1
						local pickupSound = workspace.sounds.pickupsounds:GetChildren()[math.random(1,#workspace.sounds.pickupsounds:GetChildren())]
						game.ReplicatedStorage.playsound:FireClient(player,pickupSound)
						hit.Parent:Destroy()
						char.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = false
					end)

				else

					hit.Parent:Destroy()
					char.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = false
				end
			end
		end)
	end)
end)```

why not actively update where the NPC is supposed to be going to?

or you could have the npc wait until the plr is completely done moving and then have the NPC move.

Alright Ill try to implement this, thank you.

so this is what i came up with… but there is still the same issue.

local detect = game.ReplicatedStorage.detect

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
		local hum = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
		hum.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
			if hit.Name == "Area" and char.peeps.Value < char.maxpeeps.Value and char and char:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") then
				hit.CanTouch = false

				local person = hit:FindFirstChild("person")

				if person then
					char.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = true
					repeat
						wait()
					until char.Humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude == 0
					
					person.Peepoid:MoveTo(char.Torso.Position)

					person.Peepoid.MoveToFinished:Connect(function()
						person:Destroy()
						char.peeps.Value = char.peeps.Value + 1

						local pickupSound = workspace.sounds.pickupsounds:GetChildren()[math.random(1, #workspace.sounds.pickupsounds:GetChildren())]
						game.ReplicatedStorage.playsound:FireClient(player, pickupSound)

						hit.Parent:Destroy()
						char.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = false
					end)
				else
					
					hit.Parent:Destroy()
					char.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = false
				end
			end
		end)
	end)
end)

dont use movedirection, use the assemblyliniearvelocity property on the hrp

#6 
repeat
					wait()
				until char.HumanoidRootPart.AssemblyLinearVelocity == Vector3.new(0,0,0)

still doesnt work did i do this correctly?

yea, so basically, move direction is the player’s input direction and not the movement of the literal character through physical space. Assembly linear velocity is the movement of the assembly.

no i meant for the checking. When you go and check if the player isn’t moving anymore, check their assembly linear velocity and not their move direction

i think its because of the player is controlled by the client, so the assembly linear velocity will be different from the servers version so the players assembly linear velocity

make sure you read this, not sure if you saw it yet

#13

yes thats what i did here.

repeat
wait()
until char.HumanoidRootPart.AssemblyLinearVelocity == Vector3.new(0,0,0)```

Use this instead of :MoveTo() to make it not go on top of the player

object:PivotTo(CFrame.new(position))

Rip I didn’t understand your issue so I assumed sorry I don’t think this is what you want

There is nothing wrong with the script, it’s just how roblox’s system works. If the speed is around 80 or so, he starts to slide. The only fix I think is just to lower the speed of the character.

the only problem with this is that in this game u accelerate using the mouse
