I have an enemy using roblox pathfinding, the enemy gets to the player super easy. But the problem is that as long as the player is running, the enemy keeps going to where the player was 1 frame earlier and just will never reach the player.
Increasing the speed can work, but only if its so incredible high that its like 4x the players speed and that messes with the point of the game.
Is there a way around this such as ways for it to calculate where the player is going to be, or other methods to help the enemy reach the player whilst the player is running

try doing it on the client
how would the npc find what player is closest if its on client side?

client move npc
Alright ill give this a go
sick owl
client move npc
so should i be using an event using :FireAllClients for this? And if so then how accurate will it show the enemy for the clients?
broken crow
so should i be using an event using :FireAllClients for this? And if so then how...
set the networkownership of that npc's humanoidrootpart to the player you want to be chased, and then fire the remoteevent to that player
sick owl

I want the npc to be in the same spot for all clients, and only target 1 player a time. The reason i put it on the server was so it appears for all players at the same time, is that still possible on the client?
broken crow
I want the npc to be in the same spot for all clients, and only target 1 player ...
yes, thats why you set the networkownership to that player
sick owl
yes, thats why you set the networkownership to that player
Im confused, what does networkownership do?
broken crow
it basically gives the client permission to replicate it to other clients
sick owl
it basically gives the client permission to replicate it to other clients
okay, so how do i set the networkownership to the player, and should i be doing that through the server?
broken crow
HumanoidRootPart:SetNetworkOwner(player)
do it on the server
and dont forget to check HumanoidRootPart:CanSetNetworkOwnership()
sick owl
okay so i set the network owner of the root part every time it finds a player on my RunService.Heartbeat
if it finds a player then it will do its calculations and then send an event with :FireAllClients that will move the npc?
sick owl
and dont forget to check HumanoidRootPart:CanSetNetworkOwnership()
And with the CanSetNetworkOwnership, does this have to be done through scripts as i cant find it in the properties?
broken crow
And with the CanSetNetworkOwnership, does this have to be done through scripts a...
CanSetNetworkOwnership just returns a boolean
broken crow
if it finds a player then it will do its calculations and then send an event wit...
do the calculations and executions on client
sick owl
CanSetNetworkOwnership just returns a boolean
So how do i make sure that i can set the network ownership?
wait
i think i understand
sick owl
you check first then do
broken crow
yea
cuz
it will fail if you cant setnetworkownership
like if the rootpart is anchored
so you check with that
sick owl
ahh i see okay, so let me just move everything over to the client, and then if i find any problems ill come back
thank you so much so far btw
Okay got a question, so you said that the network ownership replicates the script from the network owners script. How do i make it do that, or does it do that automatically?
broken crow
Okay got a question, so you said that the network ownership replicates the scrip...
it does it automatically, the server will check where your rig position on the client is and replicates it to other clients
sick owl
it does it automatically, the server will check where your rig position on the c...
and this replicates on :FireAllClients, or where does this occur?
broken crow
and this replicates on :FireAllClients, or where does this occur?
you dont have to do anything to replicate it, the server will do it for you
hexed mantleBOT
** You are now Level 3! **
sick owl
and after firing client, it will just update all other clients
broken crow
yep
sick owl
thats actually really helpful and cool, i never knew this
this will definitely help me in future too hah
broken crow
so basically
server > your client > server > other clients
sick owl
got it
broken crow
keep in mind exploiters (cheaters) can manipulate the server and move the rig somewhere else, but we dont talk about that
sick owl
keep in mind exploiters (cheaters) can manipulate the server and move the rig so...
Im aware of this, but from what iv learnt so far, i find it best to ignore the cheating factor until iv mastered more skills in scripting
broken crow
yea i find it hard to deal with them without messing up your game with a bunch of checks
sick owl
it makes my coding so messy all the time, i mean seriously, why would i want to mess up my beautiful structuring
look at it
So neatly layed out
broken crow
networkownership is the reason why exploiters go to natural disaster survival
sick owl
networkownership is the reason why exploiters go to natural disaster survival
haha thats fair
broken crow
theyre doing everything they can with the debris 😭
making it orbit into them and things
broken crow
what is it?
sick owl
When im firing the client, i need the player on the other side, would i do it like usual with network owner, so Players.LocalPlayer or would i find the network owner and that be the player
or do i send it twice the the event
like this
sick owl
thats what i thought, but i thought that might interrupt the other players when it replicates the script
broken crow
thats what i thought, but i thought that might interrupt the other players when ...
when i said "does it automatically", i meant the server does it physically, not with fireallclients or smth, lemme show u
sick owl
because right here im setting the nearestPlayer to Player.LocalPlayer and if the script is replicated, surely that would make the enemy move to the each player instead of the network owner
broken crow
because right here im setting the nearestPlayer to Player.LocalPlayer and if the...
it doesnt matter, it replicates with physics meaning everytime the rig moves on your client, it will send that position to the server automatically and updates it if the client has a networkownership on that part
sick owl
it doesnt matter, it replicates with physics meaning everytime the rig moves on ...
okay, so in the script that i sent, using Players.LocalPlayer for nearestPlayer wont interfere with the idea of the enemy moving to 1 specific player?
broken crow
okay, so in the script that i sent, using Players.LocalPlayer for nearestPlayer ...
nope
because
you basically send a message to the client "hey you're the one being chased, move the enemy to your character!"
and because that client has a networkownership on the humanoidrootpart, it will automatically appear on other players
sick owl
okay thats good, im getting alot of errors, so im gonna try to get these out the way and then ill see if i run into another issue
okay, so when firing the event it needs the player, i currently have the character but when i use :GetPlayerFromCharacter() it doesnt seem to work, it just says its not a valid member of model
sick owl
okay so now im confused
not by what you sent
but im using a function rn to get the nearest player
broken crow
yes
sick owl
the function returns the player.Character which is fine
broken crow
yep
sick owl
then when it gets down to firing the event i want to get the player so i use nearestPlayer:GetPlayerFromCharacter()
sick owl
okay, to what?
broken crow
the function returns the player.Character which is fine
make it return the player instead of character
sick owl
i tried that, but then i get weirder messages in errors
broken crow
what is the error
broken crow
yeah
sick owl
ignore "player argument must be a Player object"
broken crow
wait
sick owl
thats because i have "player" in there
broken crow
whats line 35
broken crow
nearestPlayer doesnt exist
sick owl
ah
broken crow
if not nearestPlayer then return end
broken crow
what is it now
broken crow
alr
sick owl
no errors now
okay lemme test with the enemy
wellll it works better
but even with a really fast enemy, the enemy is closer but still like 1 stud behind the player
just out of range
i guess best fix is to make the enemy hitbox slightly bigger
coral plank
yes

i made it bigger its good now

you can test out the creation you helped me make

you can
this is great

yeaa
broken crow
hol on
sick owl
i need honest review tho, if i finished this game do you think it would be front page?
broken crow
wait wait
sick owl
whatsup
sick owl
but
sick owl
why you not respawning
also, why does he stand still for like 5 seconds after killing someone?
sick owl
wait im gonna kill you
broken crow
ok yeah safe to say this game is realistic
you cant respawn
js do
game.Players.miko100karakter:LoadCharacterAsync()
sick owl
okay
broken crow
phew
sick owl
he takes too long to change targets
also, i need to add a check to see if the player is reachable, how do i do that?
sick owl
like if there is pathing to them
broken crow
oh
sick owl
if theres no pathing to nearestPlayer them ignore them
broken crow
i remember something about pathfinding yeah
idk though
hold on
so basically
if the path doesnt exist, ignore nearestPlayer?
broken crow
theres a code sample
``local Workspace = game:GetService("Workspace")
local PathfindingService = game:GetService("PathfindingService")
-- This model contains a start, end and three paths between the player can walk on: Snow, Metal and LeafyGrass
local PathOptionsModel = script.Parent.PathOptions
local startPosition = PathOptionsModel.Start.Position
local finishPosition = PathOptionsModel.End.Position
-- Create a path that avoids Snow and Metal materials
-- This will ensure the path created avoids the Snow and Metal paths and guides
-- the user towards the LeafyGrass path
local path = PathfindingService:CreatePath({
AgentRadius = 3,
AgentHeight = 6,
AgentCanJump = false,
Costs = {
Snow = math.huge,
Metal = math.huge,
},
})
-- Compute the path
local success, errorMessage = pcall(function()
path:ComputeAsync(startPosition, finishPosition)
end)
-- Confirm the computation was successful
if success and path.Status == Enum.PathStatus.Success then
-- For each waypoint, create a part to visualize the path
for _, waypoint in path:GetWaypoints() do
local part = Instance.new("Part")
part.Position = waypoint.Position
part.Size = Vector3.new(0.5, 0.5, 0.5)
part.Color = Color3.new(1, 0, 1)
part.Anchored = true
part.CanCollide = false
part.Parent = Workspace
end
else
print(Path unable to be computed, error: {errorMessage})
end``
sick owl
is it this?
-- Compute the path
local success, errorMessage = pcall(function()
path:ComputeAsync(startPosition, finishPosition)
end)
sick owl
yes
broken crow
i think there should also be one on the server
sick owl
how do i do that?
sick owl
okay this is too complicated now, im just gonna send both scripts to make this easier

well it still doesnt work, but i removed the "and true or false" on the end of return path.Status

could i do part:GetTouchingParts() and then check if anything touching.Parent has a humanoid
broken crow
yeah but you need to do that every frame
broken crow
wherevver you like
hexed mantleBOT
** You are now Level 6! **
broken crow
hol on
safezone.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) then
game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent):AddTag("Safezone")
end
end)
safezone.TouchEnded:Connect(function(hit)
if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) then
game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent):RemoveTag("Safezone")
end
end)```ahh i se
broken crow
keep in mind that these are inconsistent as theyre relying on physics, but i think its worth the performance you get
then just put if player:HasTag("Safezone") then continue end on your detectplayer function
broken crow
yes
broken crow
you still invokeclient
on the server
wait no
thats a remoteenvet
you deleted the remoteevent connection on the client 😭
sick owl
no i didnt
this might be because you made me change my remoteEvent for an unreliable one
broken crow
no, thats not a specific error for unreliableremoteevent
broken crow
that might happen because the event fired before client gets to connect it
broken crow
yeah do whatever works
sick owl
why does the unreliable one not work//
maybe thats also why the check you added didnt work
maybe it did, but the unreliable event sucks
sick owl
join my game so we can see if it works with proximity
broken crow
k
sick owl
ill bait it to the front door and stand close, you go out the other door and keep a far distance
if he goes for you, then it works
well
sick owl
yes
hexed mantleBOT
** You are now Level 16! **
sick owl
he doesnt work now
sick owl
i did 😭
broken crow
bru
broken crow
return means it will ignore every other player too 😭
sick owl
do i just do "then end" ?
sick owl
so if they have safezone tag then continue?????
broken crow
yes
sick owl
why???
sick owl
ohhhh
broken crow
yes
sick owl
published
broken crow
yeaaa
sick owl
perfect
can we check the 5 second wait it does after kill
lemme die
just stand outside
sick owl
oaky
broken crow
huh
sick owl
so i know the problem
broken crow
what is it
sick owl
the player still exists when they are dead
broken crow
oh yeah
sick owl
just need another check to see if their health is 0
broken crow
alright guys it's been 600 messages here, how many do yall plan
maybe 1000
sick owl
alright guys it's been 600 messages here, how many do yall plan
600 because of the "ITS AI" skids
broken crow
yeah
broken crow
just need another check to see if their health is 0
if player.Character.Humanoid.Health <= 0 then continue end
sick owl
go outside when i go out
broken crow
now
sick owl
where are you
broken crow
i think you need to fix the respawn problem 😭 😭
sick owl
not my fault
broken crow
maybe
sick owl
didnt change any respawn settings 😭
broken crow
put the rootpart.Touched event on the client
also they set the default of BreakJointsOnDeath to false
thats crazy
sick owl
should it be true
broken crow
doesnt matter
its the reason deaths look realistic now
like
your joints dont break
sick owl
factsss
its gonna be a puzzle game
so you have to solve puzzes to escape from scotland
broken crow
😭
sick owl
bro
sick owl
come outside?
sick owl
well
sick owl
OH
broken crow
it doesnt update because yk
sick owl
how do i fix that
broken crow
we ignored
maybe update the networkownership for every possible player being chased? idrk
since i have 300 ping, its gonna look choppy on you
sick owl
it does
broken crow
and vice versa
sick owl
wait
so how do i change the network ownershi
rn its doing it for every frame so idk
broken crow
if rootPart:CanSetNetworkOwnership() then rootPart:SetNetworkOwner(nearestPlayer) end
broken crow
yall have been an hour here?
more i think
sick owl
yea
sick owl
if rootPart:CanSetNetworkOwnership() then rootPart:SetNetworkOwner(nearestPlayer...
would that make a difference?
broken crow
would that make a difference?
maybe? did you check the console
thats just to prevent error
sick owl
there was nothing in console
broken crow
rootPart:GetNetworkOwner()
molten carbon
broken crow
i see
broken crow
but he doesnt continue to chase me when im in the safezone
sick owl
thats because of the tag
broken crow
OH
no
you need to
set networkownership to nil
so that the server owns it
before continue
sick owl
okay
broken crow
do it on health too
broken crow
if player.Character.Humanoid.Health <= 0 then rootPart:SetNetworkOwner(nil) continue end
broken crow
do it inside of the checks
sick owl
broken crow
yea
sick owl
republished
broken crow
try now
broken crow
try
sick owl
its not nil
broken crow
but itdoesnt move?
broken crow
oh...
sick owl
i think its "continue"
broken crow
continue js means it will move onto the next player in Players:GetPlayers()
sick owl
lemme try fundamental stuff
broken crow
instead of js straight up giving up
broken crow
yeah see
sick owl
server or client
broken crow
server
sick owl
broken crow
yea
and then
put stuff that make it so npc can chase you
like
player.Character.Humanoid.Heatlh > 0
and player:HasTag("Safezone")
sick owl
broken crow
hexed mantleBOT
** You are now Level 7! **
broken crow
no
put distance inside if canChase then
and then put
else
rootPart:SetNetworkOwner(nil)
end
broken crow
put everything else below distnace too
broken crow
return player.Character.Humanoid.Health > 0 and
not player:HasTag("Safezone")
end
local canChase = Check(player)
if canChase then
local distance = (player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position - rootPart.Position).Magnitude
if distance < shortestDistance then
shortestDistance = distance
nearestPlayer = player
end
else
rootPart:SetNetworkOwner(nil)
end```
broken crow
yes
sick owl
sooo
i found an issue
for some reason i dont have the tag
i printed the tag for myself and there is none
nvm
broken crow
huh
broken crow
yeah its not on the character
broken crow
so if you want to add anything in the future that makes it so you cant get chased, add in on the check function
broken crow
no
sick owl
i just rejoined
sick owl
huhhh
broken crow
k
broken crow
am i still the owner
broken crow
oh
sick owl
it should be nil in zone right?
sick owl
i moved network owner to here
im owner rn
if your closer its you
the zone does nothing
broken crow
didnt it do something like 30 minutes ago
am i tripping
it does
you just need to be closer
broken crow
i think its because of the shortestDistance???
broken crow
same thing
broken crow
if this results in nothing, you should just be focusing on the gameplay
sick owl
whys that
broken crow
well it does, just not that great
if youre still going to try and fix this problem, you will be demotivated by the time you make the game works
sick owl
okay so
broken crow
what print did you add
sick owl
current prints are like this
which is bad
so the problem is with the tag check
what if instead of a tag, we use an attribute?
broken crow
why
sick owl
idk, why not
sick owl
yea true or false
broken crow
huh
sick owl
earlier on
broken crow
i said to kill the player on client, not set the tag
sick owl
after made it, you said along side some other things: "Move that over to the client"
i cant be bothered to go back and prove it, so just believe me on that
solved
broken crow
k
broken crow
lmao
sick owl
how
broken crow
because of the safezone
sick owl
😭
sick owl
yea ill just have it at jump height
not too high
safe to say
