hey man ion know bout u but u gotta RUN the functions

austere shadow Jul 7, 2025, 4:51 PM

#

tame magnet hey man ion know bout u but u gotta RUN the functions

wdym

tame magnet Jul 7, 2025, 4:52 PM

#

youve defined them

#

but you havent used them

austere shadow Jul 7, 2025, 4:52 PM

#

ye

#

give me a sec

#

thats only the part of the script

#

not the whole script

tame magnet Jul 7, 2025, 4:52 PM

#

use pastebin

austere shadow Jul 7, 2025, 4:52 PM

#

yeah i think i used them

tame magnet Jul 7, 2025, 4:54 PM

#

bro show the code

#

💀

austere shadow Jul 7, 2025, 4:54 PM

#

i was on another project

#

like have some damn patience

tame magnet Jul 7, 2025, 4:55 PM

#

if ur gonna be rude get ur own help

austere shadow Jul 7, 2025, 4:55 PM

#

i am not

tame magnet Jul 7, 2025, 4:55 PM

#

bc you cant js

austere shadow Jul 7, 2025, 4:55 PM

#

okay here it is

tame magnet Jul 7, 2025, 4:55 PM

#

give half the code

#

and say fix it

#

i even tried asked chatgbt but even it crashed

#

got this from a path finding template, and tweaked it

austere shadow Jul 7, 2025, 4:58 PM

#

tame magnet and say fix it

heres half of the code

azure nicheBOT Jul 7, 2025, 4:58 PM

#

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

tame magnet Jul 7, 2025, 4:59 PM

#

can you give more info

austere shadow Jul 7, 2025, 4:59 PM

#

what info

#

thats the full script

tame magnet Jul 7, 2025, 4:59 PM

#

like is the whole pathfinding not running

#

is it going halfway

#

etc

austere shadow Jul 7, 2025, 4:59 PM

#

its not even moving

#

it just said

#

"lost"

#

body velocity at 0

tame magnet Jul 7, 2025, 5:00 PM

#

isnt speed always at 0

#

it never changes if im not mistaken

austere shadow Jul 7, 2025, 5:01 PM

#

well

tame magnet Jul 7, 2025, 5:01 PM

#

acc wait

#

im bugging

austere shadow Jul 7, 2025, 5:01 PM

#

copy paste it into a part, with a body velocity

#

like trying to caculate how the bus gonna get to the first way point is complex

#

with body velocity and angular velocity, too complex

tame magnet Jul 7, 2025, 5:04 PM

#

wait what line does it say lost

austere shadow Jul 7, 2025, 5:04 PM

#

old verison, or this

tame magnet Jul 7, 2025, 5:05 PM

#

this

austere shadow Jul 7, 2025, 5:05 PM

#

but new version

#

it does nothing

tame magnet Jul 7, 2025, 5:05 PM

#

wdym old and new

austere shadow Jul 7, 2025, 5:05 PM

#

nvm

tame magnet Jul 7, 2025, 5:05 PM

#

is the script you sent the new version

austere shadow Jul 7, 2025, 5:05 PM

#

ye

#

not new version, half of the script, but either way, new version it dosent say lost

#

it just does nothing

#

the lost log is no stops found

tame magnet Jul 7, 2025, 5:07 PM

#

add a wait

austere shadow Jul 7, 2025, 5:07 PM

#

where

tame magnet Jul 7, 2025, 5:07 PM

#

before startBus()

austere shadow Jul 7, 2025, 5:07 PM

#

same result

tame magnet Jul 7, 2025, 5:10 PM

#

whats DEBUG_PATH and drawDebugPaths()

#

its not defined

austere shadow Jul 7, 2025, 5:10 PM

#

it just draws debug path, rn its not needed

tame magnet Jul 7, 2025, 5:11 PM

#

yh but its not defined

austere shadow Jul 7, 2025, 5:11 PM

#

local function drawDebugPath(waypoints) clearDebug() local folder = Instance.new("Folder") folder.Name = "BusPathDebug" folder.Parent = workspace for i = 1, #waypoints do local wp = waypoints[i] local part = Instance.new("Part") part.Anchored = true part.CanCollide = false part.Shape = Enum.PartType.Ball part.Size = Vector3.new(1,1,1) part.Position = wp.Position part.Color = Color3.fromRGB(255, 200, 0) part.Transparency = 0.3 part.Name = "WP_"..i part.Parent = folder if i > 1 then local prev = waypoints[i-1] local beam = Instance.new("Part") beam.Anchored = true beam.CanCollide = false beam.Size = Vector3.new(0.3,0.3,(wp.Position-prev.Position).Magnitude) beam.CFrame = CFrame.new(prev.Position, wp.Position) * CFrame.new(0,0,-beam.Size.Z/2) beam.Color = Color3.fromRGB(255, 100, 0) beam.Transparency = 0.5 beam.Name = "Line_"..(i-1) beam.Parent = folder end end end

#

DEBUG_PATH is true

tame magnet Jul 7, 2025, 5:13 PM

#

yh idk srry but js check if each function is running

austere shadow Jul 7, 2025, 5:13 PM

#

if everything aint working correctly, it would throw an error anyways

#

wait a second, im going to make a test part...

austere shadow Jul 7, 2025, 5:17 PM

#

tame magnet yh idk srry but js check if each function is running

yo

#

this test run works

#

@tame magnet the test run works, then why does this not work?
