How do I Change the MoveTo() Timeout?
I'm using the MoveTo() function on a humanoid to move it on a path, from one point to another along the path. However the timeout frequently makes the humanoid move on to the next point instead of going where it's supposed to. Here's my code:
Spawned.Humanoid:MoveTo(d1.Position) Spawned.Humanoid.MoveToFinished:wait() Spawned.Humanoid:MoveTo(d2.Position) Spawned.Humanoid.MoveToFinished:wait() Spawned.Humanoid:MoveTo(d3.Position) Spawned.Humanoid.MoveToFinished:wait() Spawned.Humanoid:MoveTo(d4.Position) Spawned.Humanoid.MoveToFinished:wait() Spawned.Humanoid:MoveTo(d5.Position) Spawned.Humanoid.MoveToFinished:wait() Spawned.Humanoid:MoveTo(d6.Position) Spawned.Humanoid.MoveToFinished:wait() Spawned.Humanoid:MoveTo(d7.Position) Spawned.Humanoid.MoveToFinished:wait()
Spawned is the variable for the rig, and I established d1-d7 as variables as well. When this is run the default timeout of 8 seconds causes the humanoid to go to the next spot before it has gone to the current one, therefore not completing the path as it should. Is there a way to change the timeout, and if there isn't how do I make it work correctly? I am very new to this function, so I apologize if this is a dumb question. Thank you for reading!

Check this place out. At the bottom theres a script that mentions using MoveTo with no time out.
https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/function/Humanoid/MoveTo
local function moveTo(humanoid, targetPoint, andThen)
local targetReached = false
-- listen for the humanoid reaching its target
local connection
connection = humanoid.MoveToFinished:Connect(function(reached)
targetReached = true
connection:Disconnect()
connection = nil
if andThen then
andThen()
end
end)
-- start walking
humanoid:MoveTo(targetPoint)
-- execute on a new thread so as to not yield function
spawn(function()
while not targetReached do
-- does the humanoid still exist?
if not (humanoid and humanoid.Parent) then
break
end
-- has the target changed?
if humanoid.WalkToPoint ~= targetPoint then
break
end
-- refresh the timeout
humanoid:MoveTo(targetPoint)
wait(6)
end
-- disconnect the connection if it is still connected
if connection then
connection:Disconnect()
connection = nil
end
end)
end
I recommend using something else instead of spamming MoveTo called PathfindingService. This is probably what you should look into as it auto generates a path for you which will make your life easier with NPCs. Here are the docs for: PathfindingService
