Tower Defense

[trail vapor]

i've been trying to do a tower defense from a tutorial, in the script i did when the zombie touch the last waypoint he will be removed. but it didnt work, can someone help me=

[burnt spindle]

ur useing :Destroy on the humanoid not the zombie

[trail vapor]

even if i do mob:Destroy() it doesnt work

[burnt spindle]

does the mob reach the last waypoint?

[trail vapor]

yes

[burnt spindle]

and it stops moving right?

[trail vapor]

yes

[burnt spindle]

do you get any errors?

[trail vapor]

nope

here's the video

wrong one

[midnight wigeon]

the thing is you were only destroying the Humanoid and not the whole model... so to fix this, call zombieModel:Destroy() to remove the entire zombie.

and it will work

local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local M = {}

function M.Move(zombieModel, map)
    local humanoid = zombieModel:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
    local root    = zombieModel:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

    local waypoints = map.Waypoints:GetChildren()
    table.sort(waypoints, function(a, b)
        return tonumber(a.Name) < tonumber(b.Name)
    end)

    humanoid.WalkSpeed = 50
    for _, wp in ipairs(waypoints) do
        humanoid:MoveTo(wp.Position)
        humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait()
        task.wait(2)
    end

    zombieModel:Destroy()
end

function M.Spawn(name, map)
    local template = ServerStorage:FindFirstChild("MobSpawner")
                                :FindFirstChild(name)
    if not template then
        warn(name, "does not exist in ServerStorage.MobSpawner")
        return
    end

    local newZombie = template:Clone()
    newZombie.Parent = workspace
    newZombie:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(map.StartPoint.CFrame)

    task.spawn(function()
        M.Move(newZombie, map)
    end)

    return newZombie
end

return M

@trail vapor

[trail vapor]

u sure it wil work?

it doesnt work

[stuck ivy]

just

hum.Parent:Destroy()

@trail vapor ^

[trail vapor]

i will try it

[stuck ivy]

if ur char moves

With the humanoid index u have

you should just be able to

Destroy the parent

[trail vapor]

im trying it

it doesent work

[versed steppe]

** You are now Level 3! **

[stuck ivy]

that's strange

[versed steppe]

** You are now Level 7! **

[stuck ivy]

@trail vapor try printing the humanoid and humanoid parent

[trail vapor]

it doesnt let me print it

it says a table of function and nil

[stuck ivy]

thats strange

[hazy parrot]

you have the module name and the variable for the enemy as both mob

maybe make the variable name as smth else then try to destroy it?

[trail vapor]

imma try

doesent work either

[hazy parrot]

you set the mob in the parameter as smth else right

so for example newEnemy

and then did newEnemy:Destroy()

[hazy parrot]

can you send what u have currently

this bug is rlly weird

[trail vapor]

wdym?

[hazy parrot]

what does ur code look like rn

unless its that

[abstract dragon]

Ur trying to destroy the module

[trail vapor]

how?

[abstract dragon]

You did Mob.destory

[trail vapor]

mb

[abstract dragon]

Capital letter Mob is the table for the module

Lower case mob is your actual mob

[trail vapor]

doesnt work either

[abstract dragon]

Put a print statement above your destroy to see if it's even running

[trail vapor]

its not running in the module

[abstract dragon]

So that means the mob never got to the last waypoint

[trail vapor]

but it got to the last point

[abstract dragon]

Does the last waypoint have canCollide as false

[trail vapor]

nope

[abstract dragon]

Anchor it so it doesn't fall through the baseplate and set the collide to false

Then try running it again

[trail vapor]

its anchored and i turned off the CanCollide

nothing changed

[abstract dragon]

Is ur waypoint in the ground

[trail vapor]

?

[abstract dragon]

Because the mob needs to reach the center of the waypoint to be considered "done"

So if you shove the waypoint in the ground

They can't reach it

[trail vapor]

the mob only reaches the first point of the waypoint

then it stops moving

and the other mobs push eachother

[abstract dragon]

You mean the last waypoint?

[versed steppe]

** You are now Level 6! **

[trail vapor]

ye

[versed steppe]

** You are now Level 4! **

[abstract dragon]

Yea so in the video you sent

Is that little rectangle the last waypoint

[trail vapor]

yes

[abstract dragon]

Did you make it paper thin or is it half in the ground

[trail vapor]

i make it thin like a paper

[abstract dragon]

Apparently saying a unit of measurement will get me timed out

[trail vapor]

i made it a little bigger and 0.9 of trasparency

[abstract dragon]

Move the waypoint up a bit

Just like 2 up

[trail vapor]

up>?

up?

in the Z coordinate?

[abstract dragon]

Yea

[trail vapor]

i did it

[abstract dragon]

What's it look like now

[trail vapor]

nothing

they are stuck together

[abstract dragon]

Screen shot the way point

[abstract dragon]

Hmm

Are you sure that's the final waypoint? The mobs stopped before the block

[trail vapor]

its the final waypoint

its the last one

im gonna rec all the other scripts

[abstract dragon]

Can you take a picture of the waypoints folder

[abstract dragon]

In guessing theres 4 but its better to make sure

[trail vapor]

there are 3 waypoints

i tried making a fourth waypoint but its the same

same bug

[abstract dragon]

woah

wait a minute what is that third script you have

[hazy parrot]

wait

[abstract dragon]

lol

[hazy parrot]

i dont think the move function in the module even runs

does it

[abstract dragon]

you never called the mob.move

[hazy parrot]

theres nothing calling it

[abstract dragon]

yea

[hazy parrot]

wrap it in a coroutine

[abstract dragon]

hes making a seperate script foro every mob so it doesnt really matter

[hazy parrot]

coroutine.wrap(Mob.move)(mob, map) or smth

[hazy parrot]

i mean you could but that might be inefficient

unless its intended that way

[trail vapor]

now i gtg

i gotta got to kare

[hazy parrot]

alr

[trail vapor]

i will be back in 2 hourse

[hazy parrot]

just call the Mob.move when u have time

gotcha

[trail vapor]

love ya guys for helping me

[hazy parrot]

take care ofc

[abstract dragon]

easiest fix rn would be to change the script in drooling zombie to be

local mobScript = require(path to mob module)
local mob = script.parent
local map = workspace.map

mobscript.move(mob,map)

the better way to fix it is call it in the mob.Spawn part

[hazy parrot]

yeah

i mean i would just call it in the mob.spawn that way u dont gotta put that script in every enemy

[abstract dragon]

in mob.Spawn before the line with the else, you can do this

[hazy parrot]

yeah

[abstract dragon]

and then you wouldnt need the script for every zombie

task.spawn(mob.Move,mob,map) would do the same too

something to do with being more up to date

[trail vapor]

IM BACK

@abstract dragon could u explain to me what do i need to do to fix the bug?

if u know the solution

[abstract dragon]

delete the script that is in the drooling zombie model

[trail vapor]

why?

[abstract dragon]

its unessecary and the reason why everything is not working lol

[trail vapor]

ok

[abstract dragon]

in the mob modular script

could you take a picture of it so its easier to explain

[trail vapor]

picture of what?

[abstract dragon]

nvm i found the old one you posted

on this line

[trail vapor]

k

[abstract dragon]

put in
Mob.Move(newmob,workspace.map)

oh woops

task.spawn(Mob.Move,newmob,workspace.map)

put that instead

[trail vapor]

after warn i shoul put that?

[abstract dragon]

before the else

[trail vapor]

k

didi

did it

but newmob is red

[abstract dragon]

take a picture of what u did so i can check

newMob

[abstract dragon]

newMob instead of newmob

since thats what your variable is called

the clone of the mob*

[abstract dragon]

worspace.Waypoints

instead of worspace.map

[trail vapor]

ServerScriptService.Main.Mob:25: attempt to concatenate table with string

it says this

with workspace.waypoints

[abstract dragon]

oh bruh

so

do you plan on making another map

[hazy parrot]

coroutine.wrap(Mob.Move)(mob,map)

try that

[trail vapor]

k

[hazy parrot]

for the arguments put the mob variable and then whatever ur map is idk

[trail vapor]

BURH

I DELETED THE MODULE SCRIPT

[abstract dragon]

ctrl z

woops

[abstract dragon]

ctrl z

[trail vapor]

thanks

[abstract dragon]

his problem rn is that mob.move is looking for waypoints in the map parameter

but i gave the parameter the waypoints already

[hazy parrot]

ohh

wait huh

does it not start in the workspace

[abstract dragon]

mimimimii

ok whatever

@trail vapor just put in workspace instead of workspace.waypoints

you will need to change that in the future if you want to make more than 1 map

[trail vapor]

k

[abstract dragon]

but as i have done that exact same tutorial before

[hazy parrot]

uppercase M btw in newmob

[versed steppe]

** You are now Level 3! **

[abstract dragon]

i got distracted and forgot whwat i was going to say

[trail vapor]

ServerScriptService.Main.Mob:25: attempt to concatenate table with string

this is what it shows me

[abstract dragon]

bruh

[hazy parrot]

show us line 25

[abstract dragon]

what is your file explorer

thats not what its called

[versed steppe]

** You are now Level 5! **

** You are now Level 5! **

[abstract dragon]

the thing on the right side of your screen that shows all the parts

i dont know how your path looks like rn

[hazy parrot]

try commenting out or removing that line and see if it works

[abstract dragon]

ok i saw it in the video

workspace.grassland is the map

[trail vapor]

OMG

IT WORKS

I PUT THE WARN IN ELSE

AND NOW THEY DESTROY

WHEN THEY TOUCH THE LAST WAYPOINT

THANKS YALL

[hazy parrot]

took WAY longer than it needed to but congrats

[trail vapor]

ik

[abstract dragon]

replace workspace with map since you passed in that

[trail vapor]

thanks yall for helping me

[abstract dragon]

for future purposes

[hazy parrot]

yea

[trail vapor]

with map it doesnt work

[hazy parrot]

bc i assume ur waypoints are directly under workspace
