pathfinding script will not work right? [unanswered]
while true do
v = game.Workspace.target
path = game:GetService("PathfindingService"):ComputeSmoothPathAsync(script.Parent.Torso.Position, game.Workspace.target.Position, 500)
points= path:GetPointCoordinates()
if path.Status.Name == "Success" then
game.Workspace.Points:ClearAllChildren()
for p = 1, #points do
part = Instance.new("Part")
part.CanCollide = false
part.Size = Vector3.new(1,1,1)
part.Position = points[p]
part.Anchored = true
part.BrickColor = BrickColor.Black()
part.Parent = game.Workspace.Points
end
for i=1,10 do
local part,point=workspace:FindPartOnRay(Ray.new(points[math.min(#points,i)],Vector3.new(0,-10,0)))
local part,point2=workspace:FindPartOnRay(Ray.new(points[math.min(#points,i+1)],Vector3.new(0,-10,0)))
local count=0
while math.min((point2-v.Position).magnitude,(point*Vector3.new(1,0,1)-v.Position*Vector3.new(1,0,1)).magnitude)>3 and count<50 do
count=count+1
script.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid"):MoveTo(point2)
if workspace:FindPartOnRay(Ray.new(v.Position,CFrame.new(v.Position*Vector3.new(1,0,1),point2*Vector3.new(1,0,1)).lookVector*4))then
script.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid"):MoveTo(point)
end
end
end
end
wait(0.1)
end
i want to make a pathfinding NPC that goes to its target in workspace i tried to make this script above but this script moves the npc but does not make it follow the points. basically it doesnt follow the path the computer computes for it. please help me.

Here is something I was working on, it's not smooth but maybe you can learn from it.
Script in the Mob
local AI = require(game.ServerScriptService.MobAI)
local Mob = game.Workspace.Mob
local Config = Mob.Configuration
while wait(0.1) do
for i, v in pairs (game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
if (v.Character.Torso.Position - Mob.Torso.Position).magnitude >= 10 then
AI.CreatePath(Mob.Torso.Position, v.Character.Torso.Position, Mob, 0.2, 200)
end
end
end
ModuleScript in the ServerScriptService
local MobAI = {}
local pathfinding = game:GetService("PathfindingService")
function MobAI.CreatePath(start, finish, mob, speed, distance) --// Start Point : End Point : Mob : Speed of Mob : Mob Range
game.Workspace.Points:ClearAllChildren()
local path = pathfinding:ComputeSmoothPathAsync(start, finish, distance) -- Creates the path
local points = path:GetPointCoordinates() -- Gets the points
if path.Status == Enum.PathStatus.Success then
for i = 1, #points do -- Loops through the points
local part = Instance.new("Part", game.Workspace.Points) -- This whole section is creating visible bricks where the points are located
part.Size = Vector3.new(0.5,0.5,0.5)
part.Transparency = 0
part.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Institutional white")
part.CanCollide = false
part.Anchored = true
part.Position = points[i]
end
--[[ local anim = mob.Enemy:LoadAnimation(mob.Enemy.WalkAnim)
anim:Play() --]] -- Not neccessary, for more aesthetic reasons.
for i = 1, #points do -- Loop to make the Mob walk to the points
mob.Enemy.WalkToPoint = points[i]
wait(speed)
end
-- anim:Stop()
end
end
return MobAI
