How do you use moveto but only allow the character to move along a certain path?
When you use moveto, the character in a straight line to the location you want it to go to. What if I want it to, for example, go around a rock that is in it's path during the process?
Also is there a way to change the rock's position according to an int value (1= 1 stud away from spawn) and change the character's path with it?

Use Pathfinding,
local TheFirst = script.Parent.TheNpc.Humanoid -- Change TheNpc to your npc's name
local In = game.Workspace.FirstBrick -- Start Point
local Out = game.Workspace.SecondBrick -- Finish Point
local Click = game.Workspace.Click -- I clickable part to make him move
local path = game:GetService("PathfindingService"):ComputeRawPathAsync(In.Position, Out.Position, 500) -- Don't ask me "Why 500?" I don't know.
local points = path:GetPointCoordinates()
Click.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(function()
for _, point in pairs(points) do
print("moving to: ", point)
TheFirst:MoveTo(point)
-- Don't try moving to the next point until we are close enough to the current point in the path
repeat
local distance = (point - TheFirst.Parent.Torso.Position).magnitude
wait()
until distance < 3
end
end)
1) Change TheNpc to your npc's name 2) Make two bricks in the workspace , one called FirstBrick (Start point) and another one called SecondBrick (FinishPoint) 3)Make a brick in the workspace called Click, with a click detector inside. 4) Place the script in the workspace.
TIP: The npc will take the fastest way to the finish point.
