Hey,

after days of not finding a solution in a thread I made in Roblox, I've decided to come here for help. The problem is that the path created by :ComputeSmoothPathAsync's status is always ClosestNoPath, and only if the enemy gets really close (<1 studs) will the npc move slightly towards it. I also found out that the table returned from :GetPointCoordinates() is only 1, which is why my NPC won't move. Here is the code:

while wait(0.2) do
local enemy = getnearestenemy() 
	if enemy then
	local compute = pathfinding:ComputeSmoothPathAsync(script.Parent.Parent.Torso.Position,enemy.Torso.Position,512)
	local point = compute:GetPointCoordinates()
	print(#point)
	if #point > 2 then
		script.Parent:MoveTo(point[3])
	end
	end
end

The variable "enemy" is simply the nearest enemy to the NPC, and pathfinding is game:GetService("PathfindingService"). I have tried setting the EmptyCutoff to a much lower, and higher value but that doesn't work. Switching to RawPath instead of SmoothPath apparently doesn't work either. I also googled the problem online, to no avail. How would I fix this problem so that my NPC moves to the nearest enemy properly?

EDIT: to view the code without that cutoff just copy to clipboard, and paste into something like notepad.
