i put my combat system into an npc and hes only doing 1 m1 and not doing the rest, please help.

[ruby iron]

@tired oracle what do you mean which m1?

[tired oracle]

The first one

Hes only doing the first m1

@ruby iron

[ruby iron]

wait, why are you using userinputservice inside an AI?

there is no user

@tired oracle

[tired oracle]

ur right lemme delete that part of the script

alr now what

@ruby iron

[ruby iron]

does it not come back in the code?

wait it actually doesn't

[tired oracle]

yeah it didnt but i deleted anyway

[ruby iron]

what does the explorer of the NPC look like?

[tired oracle]

explorer?

[tired oracle]

wdym explorer

[ruby iron]

this thing

what does the npc look like from there

[tired oracle]

The combatscriptdummy script is for later its empty

@ruby iron

[thorny pier]

** You are now Level 4! **

[ruby iron]

@tired oracle I may have found it

so your entire script uses these orders

but it only gives it order 1

I've went through the script and from order 1 it never gives any new orders

so I'm guessing after m1 (which is linked to order 1) is the only one that plays, and then it has nothing left to do because the rest of the if else statements wont be passed

[tired oracle]

so what can i do to fix it?

[ruby iron]

well I didn't read the rest of the script yet so I'm not sure what each order does, all I understood is that each order is a reply to a different order

so what I would do is first grab a piece of paper

and work out what you want the npc to do when certain things happen

and work it down to a few orders

like the classic, "Roam, attack, search" pattern

where the ai defaults to roaming

then if it sees an enemy it will attack

if he doesn't see the enemy it will search for him

then if he can't find it he will return to his roaming

[tired oracle]

are u going to or nah

[ruby iron]

it would be easiest if you can quickly just explain what order 1, 2, 3 and 4 are

you made it after all, so that would be the easiest way

[tired oracle]

oky

order 1 does the first hit
order 2 does the second hit
order 3 does the third hit
then order 4 does the last hit

@ruby iron do u need me to explain a little bit more or is that good

[ruby iron]

so they're all just an attack?

does the npc have an actual AI?

or is it just ordered to attack once it loads in

[tired oracle]

Once it has a target to follow it attacks

so when it follows a target it starts doing the m1s

[ruby iron]

then why doesn't it ever change orders past order 1?

as there's no code that says order = (number other then 1) that the stack can reach

[tired oracle]

Oh that it can reach

Im guessing it cant reach these orders @ruby iron

[ruby iron]

wait, I misread one of them, so it should actually switch to order = 2

(I thought it was inside a function but it was just outside it)

well now to me it appears that everything should be reach able, did you try stepping yet?

or printing to see if the stack makes it so far?

[tired oracle]

stepping? wdym

and yeah i tried printing

[ruby iron]

stepping is basically having the script run the stack, but 1 line at a time basically

so you can see what it tries to do

[ruby iron]

how far did it get?

[tired oracle]

Only to the first one

[ruby iron]

where did it stop?

[tired oracle]

It didnt get to order 2

[ruby iron]

well then there's only 1 reason and that is probably because it never goes back to the if elses, due to the function not firing again

[tired oracle]

how would i make it fire again

[ruby iron]

basically just change it or call the function

(you do have to rewrite 2 lines before you can call it of course)

[tired oracle]

which 2 lines

@ruby iron

[ruby iron]

the one which makes the function

and then one that's unused to call the function

[tired oracle]

script.Parent.Follow.Changed:Connect(function()

This function?

[ruby iron]

yes

[tired oracle]

@ruby iron you think you can help me with something else?

[ruby iron]

I already read your new post

I’m still working on my own ai

Basically what you need to do is:

Add move events to the hum to move it

Then force it to attack once it reaches a certain distance away from the player

Then running your attack script should just work

[tired oracle]

yeah but hes not damaging

[ruby iron]

Does it connect correctly to the hum?

[thorny pier]

** You are now Level 5! **

[tired oracle]

This is the function in both the scripts

This is one of the variables

[ruby iron]

Which in the enemy’s case is the enemy right?

[tired oracle]

player is the npc

eh is the enemy

[ruby iron]

do both of them index correctly?

[tired oracle]

How do i check if they do

@ruby iron

[ruby iron]

print them both right on the beginning of this anonymous function

[tired oracle]

I tried putting a print command right after the function in the damage script and it didnt print

[tired oracle]

but when i put a print command before the function it did print

[ruby iron]

then the RE doesn't fire

[tired oracle]

The RE?

Whats the re

[ruby iron]

remote event

[tired oracle]

How do i make it fire

@ruby iron

[ruby iron]

check the script that wants to fire it

and check if there is any reason why it isn't firing

wait

is it a Remote event or a bindable event?

[tired oracle]

Bindable im pretty sure

Whats the difference between the 2 again? @ruby iron

[ruby iron]

RE is server to client (and vice versa) and BE is server to server

(and client to client when both scripts run on the same client)

[tired oracle]

Yeah so bindable event

[ruby iron]

then why is it called remote?

[tired oracle]

Oh wait im dumb

its a remote event

fuck mb @ruby iron

[ruby iron]

😆 I remember you using an RE for the client side version

and I also remembered you forgetting to remove the UIS, so I figured you may have also forgotten that part as well

[tired oracle]

yeah im ku rn

okay so now what @ruby iron

[ruby iron]

is everything edited to house the BE?

remember that BEs' events differ from REs' events

[tired oracle]

Nonono the scripts use remote events not bindable

@ruby iron

[ruby iron]

well that's the problem

there is no client side scripts used in an AI

which client houses the AI?

[tired oracle]

so dont use remote events?

[ruby iron]

well no

[tired oracle]

should i just use a bindable events then?

[ruby iron]

yes

also don't use local scripts for the ai

as there is no client for the ai

it's all server related

[tired oracle]

OnServerEvent is not a valid member of BindableEvent "ReplicatedStorage.CombatEventsNpc.M1RemoteNpc"

What do i replace with onserverevent

@ruby iron

[ruby iron]

.Fire = Fire and .Event = fires on event

[tired oracle]

What about for this

This is the damage script

What do i replace onserverevent for @ruby iron

[ruby iron]

.Event

[tired oracle]

Alright

chaosxtyy is me

Wait nvm

I did it

He m1s AND damages

tysm

Wait @ruby iron one last question

well maybe one last question

Instead of this activating the whole m1 script stuff

How do i make it so hes always m1ing

So hes always attacking

[ruby iron]

humanoid

not character

[tired oracle]

Yeah i fixed it

But how do i make it so hes always attacking

[ruby iron]

right now I'm tired but I would just loop

[tired oracle]

How would i do that

[ruby iron]

well first make a basic script to check how far away the nearest player is to make sure the npc should actually be fighting

and then just go in and have it loop the m1 part if the player is nearby enough

[tired oracle]

Alright thanks man

I may need help with making him block every like 10-15 seconds but ill let ya rest lol

Ill lyk when i need help with that though

Ill friend you
