Make NPC jump if moving slower than a certian speed?
I'm using the stock enemy npc and related scripts by xBattleBear.
I've successfully tweaked the scripts to my liking a few times, and now I'm trying to make the npc jump if it's moving slower than it should be, to get over obstacles.
I have two scripts - one for jumping, and one for following.
I've written this jump script myself - It works for around 5 seconds, and then the npc just starts jumping into the sky.
script.Parent.Humanoid.Running:Connect(function(speed)
while true do
wait(2)
if speed < 2 and #script.Parent.follow:GetChildren() > 0 then
wait(2)
script.Parent.Humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping)
end
end
end)
And this is the following script I've worked to how I want. I have a part created so that the jumping script knows when to fire, because if I don't have some sort of check, the npc jumps like a madman.
function findNearestTorso(pos)
local list = game.Workspace:children()
local torso = nil
local dist = 50
local temp = nil
local human = nil
local temp2 = nil
for x = 1, #list do
temp2 = list[x]
if (temp2.className == "Model") and (temp2 ~= script.Parent) and (temp2.Name ~= "Enemy") then
temp = temp2:findFirstChild("Torso")
human = temp2:findFirstChild("Humanoid")
if (temp ~= nil) and (human ~= nil) and (human.Health > 0) then
if (temp.Position - pos).magnitude < dist then
torso = temp
dist = (temp.Position - pos).magnitude
end
end
end
end
return torso
end
--wait(math.random(0,5)/10)
while true do
wait(0.5)
local target = findNearestTorso(script.Parent.Torso.Position)
if target ~= nil then
identifier = Instance.new("Part")
identifier.Anchored = true
identifier.CanCollide = false
identifier.Transparency = 1
identifier.Parent = script
script.Parent.Humanoid:MoveTo(target.Position, target)
script.Parent.Humanoid.Part = nil
end
end
I also tried putting a "speed < 10 and speed > 0" in place of speed < 2 and #script.Parent.follow:GetChildren() > 0, but then the npc won't jump if it isn't moving, which can be the case if a player uses a higher point correctly.

Alright so let's analyze your script. On line 1, the function runs when the speed at which the NPC runs changes. But on line 2, the function triggers a while loop to change the humanoid's state when the speed changes. This is the problem here because once the while loop is triggered, it will stay there forever so the loop will continue to run infinitely which means the NPC will continue to jump even if it is not moving. To solve the problem, you can either remove the while loop or add a break after you change the humanoid's state.
script.Parent.Humanoid.Running:Connect(function(speed)
while true do -- You can remove the loop
wait(2)
if speed < 2 and #script.Parent.follow:GetChildren() > 0 then
wait(2)
script.Parent.Humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping)
-- Or add a break here
end
end
end)
