Hi, I made a dummy that is supposed to follow the player for 3 seconds and, after the 3 seconds, go straight back to a part called "p1", but the NPC does not go back to the part but just stops. Can anyone help me?

``
Script: local npc = script.Parent
local hrpOfNPC = npc:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

local plrsHit = {}
local maxDistance = math.huge
local chaseDuration = 3

local p1 = workspace:FindFirstChild("p1")

npc.Humanoid.Touched:Connect(function(touch)
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(touch.Parent)
if player and npc.Humanoid.Health > 0 and not plrsHit[player] then
local playerCharacter = player.Character
if playerCharacter and playerCharacter:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and playerCharacter.Humanoid.Health > 0 then
plrsHit[player] = true
playerCharacter.Humanoid:TakeDamage(20)
wait(1)
plrsHit[player] = false
end
end
end)

while wait() do
local plrs = game.Players:GetPlayers()
local closestHRP

for i, plr in pairs(plrs) do
    local playerCharacter = plr.Character
    if playerCharacter and playerCharacter:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") and playerCharacter.Humanoid.Health > 0 then
        local hrp = playerCharacter.HumanoidRootPart
        local distanceBetween = (hrpOfNPC.Position - hrp.Position).Magnitude

        if not closestHRP then
            closestHRP = hrp
        end

        if (hrpOfNPC.Position - closestHRP.Position).Magnitude > distanceBetween then
            closestHRP = hrp
        end
    end
end

if closestHRP and (hrpOfNPC.Position - closestHRP.Position).Magnitude <= maxDistance then
    npc.Humanoid:MoveTo(closestHRP.Position)
end

if npc.Humanoid.Health <= 0 then
    npc.Humanoid:MoveTo(npc.HumanoidRootPart.Position) 
    for _, player in pairs(plrs) do
        plrsHit[player] = false 
    end
    npc.Humanoid.Health = 0 
    break 
end

if closestHRP and (hrpOfNPC.Position - closestHRP.Position).Magnitude <= maxDistance then
    wait(chaseDuration)
    if p1 then
        npc.Humanoid:MoveTo(p1.Position) 
    else
        warn("Part 'p1'")
    end
end

now he does not move

slender flint Jun 21, 2023, 7:58 PM

#

i think its has to do something about the movement

#

i havent looked at the code fully but if you already did i would make it stop then move back.

polar fox Jun 21, 2023, 7:59 PM

slender flint i havent looked at the code fully but if you already did i would make it stop th...

what do you mean stop and move back?

slender flint Jun 21, 2023, 8:00 PM

#

polar fox what do you mean stop and move back?

make the dummy stop when the durations ends

slender flint Jun 21, 2023, 8:00 PM

#

polar fox what do you mean stop and move back?

then make it go to the "p1" position

#

maybe its because its still trying to follow you but its also trying to go back

polar fox Jun 21, 2023, 8:00 PM

with this script? or should i use the other script i posted?

slender flint Jun 21, 2023, 8:02 PM

#

polar fox with this script? or should i use the other script i posted?

yes do some tweaking with that script

polar fox Jun 21, 2023, 8:02 PM

#

but why isnt the npc moving with the script

#

it just stands still but still does damage

slender flint Jun 21, 2023, 8:04 PM

#

polar fox with this script? or should i use the other script i posted?

wait

#

explain the moving\

#

is it following you at least?

polar fox Jun 21, 2023, 8:04 PM

#

no it just stands still

#

but it does damage

slender flint Jun 21, 2023, 8:05 PM

#

does the damage part come before or after the movement part

polar fox Jun 21, 2023, 8:07 PM

#

the damage part is executed when the NPC touches another player

#

so movement is before damage

slender flint Jun 21, 2023, 8:08 PM

#

hmm

#

wait so ur saying movement script comes before the damaging script?

polar fox Jun 21, 2023, 8:09 PM

#

yea

#

In the script, the NPC is looking for the player, and he is moving to the player (movement script), and if the NPC is at the player, he is damaging the player (damaging script).

studio ** You are now Level 2! ** studio

slender flint Jun 21, 2023, 8:13 PM

then it has to do something with your movement script

you mean this script?

correct

polar fox Jun 21, 2023, 8:16 PM

#

yea its working but the npc isnt going back to the part

slender flint Jun 21, 2023, 8:16 PM

#

make the npc stop

polar fox Jun 21, 2023, 8:16 PM

#

okay i try it

slender flint Jun 21, 2023, 8:16 PM

#

make the npc stop moving when it hits 3 seconds and make sure to put it before it goes back

polar fox Jun 21, 2023, 8:17 PM

you mean like this? ```local npc = script.Parent
