NPC doesn't shoot oil cups, however, still retains Its pathfinding (?)
Hello!
As the title says, an NPC doesn't shoot oil cups, but still retains Its pathfinding, I used coroutine for the shooting script
Script:
local NPC = script.Parent
local Pathfinding = game:GetService("PathfindingService")
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local player
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(client)
player = client
end)
repeat wait() until player ~= nil
while wait() do
local path = Pathfinding:CreatePath()
path:ComputeAsync(NPC.Torso.Position, player.Character.PrimaryPart.Position)
if path.Status == Enum.PathStatus.Success then
local Positions = path:GetWaypoints()
for i,v in pairs(Positions) do
local position = Instance.new("Part")
position.Parent = game.Workspace
position.Size = Vector3.new(1,1,1)
position.Position = v.Position
position.Transparency = 1
NPC.Humanoid:MoveTo(position.Position)
NPC.Humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait(2)
position:Destroy()
end
end
end
coroutine.wrap(function()
while wait(0.3) do
NPC.Pew:Play()
local OilCup = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Stuff.Oil:Clone()
game:GetService("Debris"):AddItem(OilCup,3)
OilCup.Parent = game.Workspace
OilCup.Position = NPC.Gun.Position
OilCup.Orientation = NPC.Gun.Orientation
OilCup.CanCollide = false
local TweenProperties = {
CFrame = OilCup.CFrame + (OilCup.CFrame.LookVector*50)
}
local InfoThing = TweenInfo.new(
2,
Enum.EasingStyle.Back,
Enum.EasingDirection.Out,
0,
false,
0
)
local PartTween = TweenService:Create(OilCup, InfoThing, TweenProperties)
PartTween:Play()
end
end)

Scripts run top to bottom. You are making the script wait in the Pathfinding and therefore yield everything. Once the NPC has reached its destination, the script can continue further and then wraps your coroutine. So put the coroutine infront of you Pathfinding and call it within pathfinding or before.
Also you need to call the function so that coroutine.wrap actually starts.
Example:
local cr = coroutine.wrap(function() --Assign the coroutine function to a variable
--Code
end)
--The coroutine does not run. We need to call the function
cr() --calling the function
Some other tips:
Try not to do while wait() true without a break because that function runs indefinitely.
Try to put everything Async into PCalls (or coroutines) as they are more likely to error.
