plush void
I'm kinda new to pathfinding and am trying to make an npc that when an event is triggered it goes to nearest "survivor" player. the pathfinding works but it tries to go over ledges that it shouldn't be able to. Is there a way to make the path find not try to go up ledges?
I will reply with the script as otherwise i hit character limit 🙁
Script: local PS = game:GetService("PathfindingService")
local teams = game:GetService("Teams")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Remotes = RS.Remotes
local char = script.Parent
local billy = script.Parent
local hum = billy.Humanoid
local hrp = billy.HumanoidRootPart
local path = PS:CreatePath({
AgentCanJump = false,
AgentCanClimb = true,
})
local maxDistance = 10000
local Event = Remotes.StartPathfind
Event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
local nearestPlayer, nearestDistance
for _, player in pairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
if player.Team == "Killers" then
return
end
local character = player.Character
local distance = player:DistanceFromCharacter(billy.HumanoidRootPart.Position)
if not character or
distance > maxDistance or
(nearestDistance and distance >= nearestDistance)
then
continue
end
nearestDistance = distance
nearestPlayer = player
end
print("The nearest player is ", nearestPlayer)
local Target = nearestPlayer
path:ComputeAsync(hrp.Position, Target.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position)
if path.Status == Enum.PathStatus.Success then
local waypoints = path:GetWaypoints()
for i, waypoint in waypoints do
local p = Instance.new("Part")
p.Parent = workspace
p.Size = Vector3.new(1,1,1)
p.Position = waypoint.Position
p.Anchored = true
p.CanCollide = false
p.Color = Color3.new(1,0,0)
hum:MoveTo(waypoint.Position)
hum.MoveToFinished:Wait()
end
else
warn("path unsuccessful")
end
end)

your script works, but your CreatePath call doesn’t include the slope or height restrictions, so Roblox thinks your NPC can scale cliffs.

You can fix that by adding AgentHeight and AgentMaxSlope into the parameters, and also making sure you only set AgentCanClimb
atleast what i think im not 100% sure

k
what exactly does agent height do btw?
cuz ive messed around with it for a bit with no results

AgentHeight tells the pathfinder how tall your NPC is in studs.
It’s used so the engine can figure out if the NPC can fit under low ceilings or through certain openings.

ah k

Say your NPC’s actual model is 5 studs tall:
local path = PS:CreatePath({ AgentHeight = 5 })
It will go through a tunnel that’s 6 studs high.
It won’t go through a doorway that’s only 4 studs high pathfinding will avoid it entirely.
