Zombie only targets playing when visible?

Asked 202 views1 answers

This script works flawlessly. However, when any player is in range not in green team, it follows it and ignores every NPC closer to it. It almost ignores every enemy NPC and goes for the players. How can I fix this? I see nothing wrong with this and how it can be creating this bug.

local dist = math.huge

local function findNearestTorso(pos)
	local list = workspace:GetChildren()
	for x = 1, #list do
		local temp2 = list[x]
		if (temp2.className == "Model") and (temp2 ~= script.Parent) then
			local temp = temp2:findFirstChild("Torso")
			local human = temp2:findFirstChild("Humanoid")
			local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(temp2)
			if not player and (temp) and (human) and (human.Health > 0) and human.Parent.Name ~= "Zombie" then
				if (temp.Position - pos).magnitude < dist then
					tochr = (temp.Position - pos)
					local toPlayerRay = Ray.new(script.Parent.Head.Position, tochr)
					local part = workspace:FindPartOnRay(toPlayerRay, script.Parent)
					if part and part:IsDescendantOf(temp.Parent) then
						print("soldier")
						torso = temp
					end
				end
				elseif player and (temp) and (human) and (human.Health > 0) and player.TeamColor ~= BrickColor.new("Bright green") then
				if (temp.Position - pos).magnitude < dist then
					tochr = (temp.Position - pos)
					local toPlayerRay = Ray.new(script.Parent.Head.Position, tochr)
					local part = workspace:FindPartOnRay(toPlayerRay, script.Parent)
					if part and part:IsDescendantOf(temp.Parent) then
						torso = temp
						print("player")
					end
				end
			end
		end
	end
	return torso, tochr.magnitude
end

Yes, because the second if statement makes sure the target is not a player

local dist = math.huge

local function findNearestTorso(pos)
    local list = workspace:GetChildren()
    for x = 1, #list do --cylces through each model
        local temp2 = list[x] --temp2 is set to each member of list
        if (temp2.className == "Model") and (temp2 ~= script.Parent) then
            local temp = temp2:findFirstChild("Torso") 
            local human = temp2:findFirstChild("Humanoid")
            local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(temp2)  --player is set to it's corresponding character if they match, if not player returns false
            if not player and (temp) and (human) and (human.Health > 0) and human.Parent.Name ~= "Zombie" then
--this is where you are getting confused, it checks and makes sure the target is NOT a player
                if (temp.Position - pos).magnitude < dist then
                    tochr = (temp.Position - pos)
                    local toPlayerRay = Ray.new(script.Parent.Head.Position, tochr)
                    local part = workspace:FindPartOnRay(toPlayerRay, script.Parent)
                    if part and part:IsDescendantOf(temp.Parent) then
                        print("soldier")
                        torso = temp
                    end
                end
                elseif player and (temp) and (human) and (human.Health > 0) and player.TeamColor ~= BrickColor.new("Bright green") then
                if (temp.Position - pos).magnitude < dist then
                    tochr = (temp.Position - pos)
                    local toPlayerRay = Ray.new(script.Parent.Head.Position, tochr)
                    local part = workspace:FindPartOnRay(toPlayerRay, script.Parent)
                    if part and part:IsDescendantOf(temp.Parent) then
                        torso = temp
                        print("player")
                    end
                end
            end
        end
    end
    return torso, tochr.magnitude
end
