Zombie not moving

[opaque kelp]

local script inside the zombie

local runService = game:GetService("RunService")
local zombietorso = script.Parent.Torso
    
while true do
    wait()
    local aggro = 50
    for _, v in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
        local character = v.Character
        if character and character.Humanoid then
            local torso = character.Torso
            if torso then
                local distance = (zombietorso.Position - torso.Position).Magnitude
                if distance < aggro then
                    script.Parent.Humanoid:MoveTo(torso.Position)
                end
            end
        else
            script.Parent.Humanoid.Health -= script.Parent.Humanoid.MaxHealth
        end
    end
end

bros killing the zombie before anything is able to happen 🙏

[opaque kelp]

thats in else

[remote marsh]

yeah just make sure its not dead

[opaque kelp]

it isnt

[remote marsh]

add some prints to debug

[opaque kelp]

local script

[remote marsh]

add some prints

to debug

if one of the if statements is failing

also dont go by the torso

use the HumanoidRootPart

[opaque kelp]

still doesnt work

[remote marsh]

it seems like you want to be told how to do it instead of learning

tsk tsk tsk

[opaque kelp]

there is no learning ive tried swapping variables, using runservice

i guess i need to use pathfind and not moveto but im not learning pathfind rn

[opaque kelp]

and i dont want to be told how to do it i want to be told the problem then i can learn next time and besides if i were to learn how to do it i wouldnt be here right now

[remote marsh]

are u sure the script is even running

maybe try putting it in a regular script

and see if it works

there is a reason why i said add prints

[opaque kelp]

yes and i said it was a local script and i couldnt

but ill try i guess

[remote marsh]

u can use prints in local scripts??

[balmy sierra]

...

[opaque kelp]

u cant

[balmy sierra]

@opaque kelp

u can

but use a serverscript for this

[opaque kelp]

Oh I thought local inside the character because it was moving the humanoid

I mean handling the character

[balmy sierra]

@opaque kelp

What?

I don't understand

[opaque kelp]

It was a local script inside the zombie

[balmy sierra]

Ye

Use a server

[balmy sierra]

Serverscript

[tepid shard]

Local scripts won't run inside of objects in the workspace. Also, local scripts are for client-sided scripting, which I recommend looking up the difference between client and server online, it'll save you some trouble

[opaque kelp]

Oh so local scripts don't work on rigs

[tiny terrace]

** You are now Level 5! **

[opaque kelp]

Only players

[tepid shard]

Not exactly

It's just things running on a local script won't replicate to the server naturally

Excluding certain cases

[opaque kelp]

Tools I think do that

[tepid shard]

What

[opaque kelp]

do tools replicate to the server

because when i did tool.activate it played a animation that the server saw

[tepid shard]

It's not that tools do it, but how the players character interacts with local scripts

The player character is among the exceptions I was talking about. Things like playing an animation and moving the characters position on the client are automatically replicated to the server

[opaque kelp]

but then wouldnt moveto work if it was in a local script

since your moving the character

[tepid shard]

Only if it's the player's character

[opaque kelp]

oooh

[tepid shard]

Well, there's also network ownership, but you can probably get away with ignoring that for a while

[balmy sierra]

@opaque kelp

local is what u see

server is what everyone else sees

please learn scripting

[sudden trellis]

can someone help me

[balmy sierra]

ye

[opaque kelp]

Well yeah no shit

I know local is what the player sees

And server is the server

I just thought local scripts can also be applied to rigs

[opaque kelp]

And if I didn't know scripting then how did I make that whole entire zombie script

[balmy sierra]

@opaque kelp

Then. you would understand that only you would see it

[opaque kelp]

but movement replicates to the serber

[balmy sierra]

Yea

@opaque kelp

But thats only for movement of hrp and anims

Why do you have to use local again?
