tysm what was the issue if you dont mind me asking

umbral tide tysm what was the issue if you dont mind me asking

you did not have a way to deal with waveconfig.config[wavenumber] So when it fucked up with 0 error handling it just did nothing silently

trim escarp Nov 5, 2024, 4:51 PM

#

but for the stopping

#

the main issue was movetonextpoint

#

you used tonumber for the expression

#

meaning if the numbers were off track then everything fucked

#

tostring(tonumber(currentpoint + 1))

#

solves that issue as itll dynamically keep track per instance

#

local nextPoint = PathFolder:FindFirstChild(tostring(tonumber(currentpoint + 1))) is what you used

#

local nextPoint = PathFolder:FindFirstChild(tostring(currentpoint + 1)) is what it was changes too

#

the other issue was the recursive call in movetonextpoint did not increment currentpoint

#

moveToNextPoint(enemy, currentpoint) is wha tyou had

#

moveToNextPoint(enemy, currentpoint + 1) is what it was changes too

#

this way it could track the current point + going to the next one

#

these 3 things caused the traffic jam

#

as the AI might go from point 1 to 2

#

then get stuck at 2 because its looking for 2 again

#

vs looking for 3

#

make sense? @umbral tide
