Separate Pathfind Script | Roblox Studio Community | Page 1

Hello, if possible I want to make a script that makes it so if you put it in almost any NPC it makes them actually go around walls, like you know how NPC's like the famous Jeff the Killer NPC just bump and get stuck into walls, that gets fixed. But I barely have any scripting experience and I need help from someone for making this script if possible.

#

like a separate pathfind script

#

i've tried asking ChatGPT about how I could make this work but that was no help

#

Pathfinding is good if implemented well

#

The way it is implemented in the docs is the best in my experience

#

Though you might want to disable roof collisions in doors as that can cause bugs with pathfinding

#

fluid wigeon

you can use custom pathfinding modules

#

im fuckin stupid

#

soo

#

I just put nodes in the areas you want the npcs to actually go

#

so they dont bump into walls and act like kindergarteners

#

@wide locust is that correct?

#

sorry for ping

#

im looking at the tutorial

#

I just want to get that out of the way first

wide locust Jan 20, 2026, 4:53 PM

#

yes exactly

#

just make sure

#

you actually like make them so the nodes are bidirectional

#

this module just allows more customization

#

on the nodes

#

and like makes it so you have a predicatable path

fluid wigeon Jan 20, 2026, 5:26 PM

#

wide locust yes exactly

also you don't have to set up a node map for each npc
