#How can I get a r6 rig to move to a specific location after a remoteevent?

A really simple question because I'm super bad at scripting, I'm trying to make an NPC run from one side of a field to another once a remoteevent is called by the player, but I can't get it to work. I have code that properly moves the character, I have code that properly calls and checks for the event, but when I put the two together it just doesnt work. I'll send the script I'm dealing with in a second, but If anyone can help thatd be lovely

:moveto

#

and trying to trigger the movement with an event still doesnt work

steel hearth
#

Theres an timeout for it

#

Uh and a moveto.finished event and then u just move to again until it reaches the waypoint

valid merlin

#

The script works perfectly fine but when I try to add the parameter that it only starts moving after recieving an event it breaks and doesnt move at all

steel hearth
#

then it doesnt work perfectly fine

valid merlin
#

I... suppose...

steel hearth
#

Didnt understand what your saying

#

Maybe send the script?

valid merlin
#

I'm gonna be honest I dont understand 90% of it I copied most of it from doccumentation pages 😭

local racestart = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Racestart")

local PathfindingService = game:GetService("PathfindingService")
local humanoid = game.Workspace.Helios:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local model = game.Workspace.Helios
local finishPart = game.Workspace.finishpart

if not model.PrimaryPart then
    model.PrimaryPart = model:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") or model:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("BasePart")
end

local function walkTo(targetPosition)
    local path = PathfindingService:CreatePath({
        AgentRadius = 2,
        AgentHeight = 5,
        AgentCanJump = true,
        AgentJumpHeight = 10,
        AgentMaxSlope = 45,
    })

    path:ComputeAsync(model.PrimaryPart.Position, targetPosition)

    local waypoints = path:GetWaypoints()

    for _, waypoint in ipairs(waypoints) do
        humanoid:MoveTo(waypoint.Position)
        local reached = humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait()
        if not reached then
            -- retry the same waypoint if failed
            humanoid:MoveTo(waypoint.Position)
            humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait()
        end
    end
end

walkTo(finishPart.Position)```

#

dont know what half of the script is even doing so delete it

valid merlin
#

Ok I tried actually writing my own thing

local racestart = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Racestart")
local humanoid = game.Workspace.Helios:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local finishloc = game.Workspace.finishpart.Position
local pos = Vector3.new()
local racing = false
pos = (finishloc)

racestart.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
    racing = true
end)

while racing == true do
    humanoid:MoveTo(pos)
    task.wait(4)
end

humanoid.MoveToFinished:Connect(function(reached)
    if reached then
        racing = false
    end
end)```

But it doesnt work 💀

Thats not even closecrying

valid merlin

#

Im well aware

#

like i havent seen someone name their variables like that

#

and the code looks messy

valid merlin
#

REF DO SOMETHING

#

THEYRE TEARING ME APART

short gyro
#

Yo I will help when I get on pc

#

I’m on phone, and scripting on phone is just pain

valid merlin
#

thank you king 😭

valid merlin

doesnt work like that

#

try learning to script

local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Racestart = RS:WaitForChild("Racestart")
local Humanoid = game.Workspace.Helios:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local FinishLoc = game.Workspace.finishpart.Position

Racestart.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
    
    Humanoid:MoveTo(FinishLoc)
    
end)

# steel hearth to get free code

thats an assumption you made for yourself. I never asked for free code I asked for advice on why what I was doing wasnt working.

steel hearth
#

uhh ok

#

doesnt explain why you didnt solve it then

#

cuz if u wanted to learn to script u would have done something easier than chat on discord

short gyro
#

ye ik its free code, but she didnt even ask for code to begin with. The code is like 8 lines long tho

#

this whole channel is made for "help" is that hard to understand?crying

whats a local event

short gyro
#

when the server fires a event to a client it is a "LocalEvent"

#

but in this case the client send an event to the server making it a "ServerEvent"

steel hearth
#

btw

valid merlin
#

oh I'm well aware thats another reason I have no idea what I'm doing lol

you didnt even know what was server/local events

short gyro
#

yeah and u think we dont know that java and lua is the same langauge???

valid merlin

thats why u dont be on discord

#

wasnt funny

local function moveTo(humanoid, targetPoint, andThen)

probably not

i just sent it

why

gloomy radish

Already wrote like 30+ useless messages

and?

gloomy radish

#

... you can have it

toxic elbow
#

that is not my point

steel hearth
toxic elbow
#

but this guy that gave the free code were arguing some moments ago because he thought the guy that opened this post wanted free code

#

he is ragebaiting

steel hearth
#

what

#

got it

#

so theres the solution to the problem

#

@valid merlin

valid merlin
#

I appreciate you trying to help now but blaze is helping me figure it out in dms 😭 🙏

gloomy radish
steel hearth
#

and why not here?

short gyro
steel hearth
#

ok

valid merlin
#

the annotations are definitely chatgpt 😭

steel hearth
#

gnomecode made them actually

valid merlin
#

idk why companies are so confident ai is good at coding honestly

steel hearth
#

they arent

#

its pretty useless

I asked that stupid roblox assistant a question on a boolean once a while back and it freaked out and deleted like half of my game

toxic elbow
#

tbh roblox assistant is horrible

short gyro
toxic elbow
#

i think a 6yr old kid can be smarter

valid merlin
#

probably 😭

short gyro
#

dude if u need help with something, you have to ask the stupid ai like 600 times to get it sorta working

steel hearth
#

chatgpt only helps out

#

dont know about any other one

toxic elbow
#

yea you should never copy code from chatgpt

#

only ask help for it

#

but still sometimes chatgpt cant even help because he gives outdated things

short gyro
#

also chat gpt learns from the internet, so that means like reddit posts and stuff. The thing is, humans are wrong aswell. So you can't guarantee that it is correct

toxic elbow
valid merlin
#

It also doesnt have any functional brain capacity. it can't really think and it doesnt understand what the code is doing or meant to do

steel hearth
#

but it can code better than you

valid merlin
#

is that why you pretend its your girlfriend?

gloomy radish
#

3 people ragebaiting is insane I bet you all suck at coding

short gyro
steel hearth
#

doesnt sound like my problem

gloomy radish
#

And @toxic elbow

short gyro
valid merlin
#

nah skid is cool i think

steel hearth
#

i think you are ragebaiting

he dosent have scripter rank even.
ik I am s1 rn, but I got that role a year ago

#

I been scripting for years and lua a lil over a year

#

I have made several games fulle myself. Withou ai or toolbox

valid merlin
#

wow thats awesome did you make steal a brainroty

steel hearth
toxic elbow
#

when did i ragebait

steel hearth
#

scroll up

#

arent you playing valorant?

steel hearth
toxic elbow
#

you were arguing about giving free code

#

but then you gave one

steel hearth
#

where is the proof

steel hearth
#

:P

#

there is only remoteevents in replicated storage

#

so theres not a local event object

#

i know remote events can be accessible on both the server and client

toxic elbow
gloomy radish
#

Jst stop writing pls

steel hearth
#

then how did u know i dont know about server/local events?

#

how did u check it

#

i think i know them

short gyro
short gyro
#

my fault i didnt mean to start the fire again

#

anyways its solved now

steel hearth
short gyro
#

Event.OnServerEvent is still a valid way to detect server events in a server script???

steel hearth
#

u used .onserverevent if thats what u wer referring to

#

ye u said serverevent which doesnt make sense

short gyro
#

yeah it i supposed to be ".OnServerEvent"

#

I said it for reference

short gyro
#

You miss capital letters: "O", "S" or "E".

steel hearth
#

where miss
