How To MAKE a Pathfinding MONSTER In Roblox Studio! 

Finally a video not 4 years old 🙏😭 The script works well but my attack animation does not stop it continues without switching to the walk animation I would like to know how to fix it even tho it's not a big deal I can just do a jumpsare scene instead

OMG TYSM! I've been searching for an actual working pathfinding monster for months and i finally found yours! This really helped!

thank you rustysillyband, this works really well and i couldn't have done this without your video

THE ONLY WORKING PATHFINDING I FOUND AND IT WAS EXPLAINED AMAZINGLY THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU (If you couldn't tell I'm quite thankfull for this)

Great tutorial! you are one of those devs that actually explain things unlike the scam devs that make you script for like 500 hours and then nothing works; New subscriber great channel. Like personally I'm a small roblox dev but these tutorials are very good.

The problem with this model I don't like Is that I like my horror game to have multiple monsters But when i saw Local function(Ondeath) My dreams we're crushed.

This helped me a LOT The monster chases the player perfectly! But for some reason ( idk why) it can't follow the waypoints.. It doesn't even do the first one. But overall, It's perfect! I'm going to find how to make the pathfinding work.

oh. my. god. THANK YOU SO MUCH OMG I ACTUALLY NEEDED THIS THANKS PLS KEEP IT UP

my rig doesnt do anything. It doesnt move, it doesnt attack or anything. why is that?

i dont know whats happening but when i did all the scripts and everything he wont move around at all he just stands there and wont even kill you

OMG FINALLY A TUTORIAL THAT WORKS I CANNOT EXPLAIN HOW GRATEFUL I AM!!!!!

Script if you're too lazy to type it (not organized like in the vid): local Players = game:GetService("Players") local PathfindingService = game:GetService("PathfindingService") local rig = script.Parent local function checkForCharacter(character) local rayOrigin = rig:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart").Position local rayDirection = (character.HumanoidRootPart.Position - rayOrigin).Unit * 40 local raycastResult = workspace:Raycast(rayOrigin, rayDirection, RaycastParams.new()) if raycastResult then local raycastInstance = raycastResult.Instance if raycastInstance:IsDescendantOf(character) then return true end else return false end end local function findNearestPlayer() local players = Players:GetPlayers() local nearestPlayer = nil local maxDistance = 40 for _, player in pairs(players) do if player.Character = nil then local targetCharacter = player.Character local distance = (rig.HumanoidRootPart.Position - targetCharacter.HumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude if distance < maxDistance and checkForCharacter(targetCharacter) then nearestPlayer = targetCharacter maxDistance = distance end end end return nearestPlayer end local function attack(character) local distance = (rig.HumanoidRootPart.Position - character.HumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude if distance > 5 then rig.Humanoid:MoveTo(character.HumanoidRootPart.Position) else character.Humanoid.Health = 0 end end local function calculatePath(destination) local agentParams = { ["AgentHeight"] = 5.5 ["AgentRadius"] = 4, ["AgentCanJump"] - false } local path - PathfindingService:CreatePath(agentParams) path:ComputeAsync(rig.HumanoidRootPart.Position, destination) return path end local function walkToDestination(destination) local path - calculatePath(destination) if path.Status == Enum.PathStatus.Success then for _, waypoint in pairs(path:GetWayPoints()) do local nearestPlayer = findNearestPlayer() if nearestPlayer then attack(nearestPlayer) break else rig.Humanoid.MoveTo(waypoint.Position) rig.Humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait() end end else rig.Humanoid:MoveTo(destination - (rig.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector * 10)) end end local function patrol() local waypoints = workspace.Waypoints:GetChildren() local randomNumber = math.random(1, #waypoints) walkToDestination(waypoints[randomNumber].Position) end while task.wait(0.3) do patrol() end

From the BOTTOM of my heart, I LOVE YOU. I have searched for tutorials for a WHILE and none of them worked, but this worked. You don't know how much I genuienly love you bro. Really helpful that you explained this since I have a little bit of coding experience and therefore I made changes that suited my game, thanks for that too

If there is anyone who is making a single-player horror game (like me) and already has the jump scared added (it's one of his other videos) And is rather annoyed about the walking animation needing to be shorter, or your NPC having a reaction of a brick. There is a simple solution, make a separate script, put a folder into the script and name it "Animations", put an Animation in the folder and name the animation "Walk", and put your ID into the animation. Put the following into the script; " local rig = script.Parent local animations = script.Animations local walkAnimation = rig.Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(animations.Walk) walkAnimation:Play()" The jumpscare will still play as normally, your NPC walking animation can be longer than the patrol and won't break, you can have an attack animation but the player won't see it (most likely)

Is there a way for you to make the monster switch animations? In the game im making I want the monster to start running when it locks on to you but theres no way to stop the other animation.

W VID MPAN KEEP MAKING THOSE VIDS

hey man! so i do have a few problems 1. even if the AI is faster then you, it will stop in little tiny intervals, causing it to not kill you even if you cant outrun it via walkspeed difference 2. i have barriers placed around the map, and if i am on the other side of the barrier the AI is, it will just walk to some other waypoint instead of continuing to chase me/going around the wall, i think this is generally because of how raycasting works

Was thinking about it, thank you!

Thanks alot man I am making a game but the monster you made for thr kit was not to my liking so I took the script from this one and put it into my Monster so its extra scary so yeah preciate it man

TYSM THIS HELPED ME ALOT!!!!😆

Is this series going to be a horror game like the asylum? or something else. If something else, please inform me on it

I'm having a slight issue, the monster is not chasing the player, is it because I have a custom player model for the game? It could also be because my monster is large, idk Edit: found the issue, the problem is that I can't fix it, the reason why it isnt working is because its root part is higher than the player meaning it doesn't see the player, my problem is that I can't make my monsters legs smaller, is there any other fix?

Thank you so much for this tutorial, it really helps for my horror game. Do you have another tutorial that can help add a jump scare if the player is touched by the rig? thank you

can you please make another video about fixing the bug on your model? When the waypoints are behind a wall he just hugs the wall instead of going around it...

Please help me i downloaded it but it wont move

Heyy Rusty! Its me again. I was working on my horror game with very little knowledge and I ran into an issue. I was wondering how to adjust the FirstPerson Script you made in your other video to make it where when GUI is visible it is unlocked, so that you can move your mouse around. Please let me know how to fix this!!

thank you bro so much i just got your pack and ive been trying SO MUCH videos ignore the people who told you that it does not work at all they didnt follow ur steps! ur amazing dude..

how do I make it so it will go through a set path instead of random?

Great vid! Im currentlt working on a smart AI which will chase the player until it can't see them anymore. If it can't see the player, it will continue in the direction the player went to try and gaun sight of them again. I'm having a lot of issue with the code but It's almost done I can feel it

This is perfect but my map has walls and my rig keeps running into them... Anyway i can stop that without having to change my whole map?

( i learning english, so sorry anything 😅) I've been looking at pathfinding for a long time and every script I went through I found an error in the output: Stack Begin - Studio 21:57:26.952 Script 'Workspace.HorrorMonster.PathfindingScript', Line 108 - function patrol - Studio - PathfindingScript:108 21:57:26.953 Script 'Workspace.HorrorMonster.PathfindingScript', Line 117 - Studio - PathfindingScript:117 21:57:26.953 Stack End - Studio Do you know how I can solve this?

This is a great tutorial!

Can you please make a tutorial that’s pretty much opposite to this? One about a little creature that runs around randomly, and when a player gets close it runs away unless the player is crouched? Then if the player is crouched they can sneak up to it and pet it

This guy puts out the best roblox studio tutorials.

this actully works, thank you

does not work anymore i think i tried everything but isnt working for me

i did everything in the script but the npc doesn't follow the player, just goes to waypoints i tried using your model and that doesn't follow the player either

thanks for the tutorial, this was actually my first long script that actually worked, just one thing, my monster commonly gets stuck on walls after a couple of patrols, as he picks a waypoint on the other side of the map, is there a way to fix that?

hi bro idk if ur going to read this but pls make me a horror looking thing in that game and send the link of body parts pls im sub

Yo i followed the entire tutorial but my rig wont even move, could u please send the script?

Wait… what if I just tied a part from the waypoints to the player, make it invisible so there isn’t just a cube on top of the player, tie a part to the monster that does damage, and just make the monster go for the waypoint? (Btw I haven’t tried using this yet but I will next week so im not saying that it doesn’t work.)

Thx man i was working at my game with my friend , i can not make this .

well it works, but it didn't go to the part it goes to the other Rig Model and if i delete the other rig model, the rig doesn't move

It mostly works but it completely ignores certian parts and tries to go through them, how do i fix it?

I love you❤

When the Monster is chasing me, it’s moving but it’s stopping every second now can you fix this?

It wont chase the player :( Just follows the way points and moves sporadically

i have a cool video idea : make it where the monster can't find someone if they are touching a specific part or hiding spot

i was playing with it and it keeps on going into random blocks do you know how to fix it

Mine doesn’t follow me it said magnitude is not valid member of vector3 Edit: fixed it but he isn’t able to kill me

Im having trouble with the animation not working

It helped me out a lot but it took almost 2 hours

What if my dummy can't move how can I fix it 😢

It’s a good video works well but may you next time write the script in description because I hate writing

I have one question. who's better at pathfinding? Rusty or gnomecode

Mine is not moving when I play it but is moving while I run it Any help?

how can you reset the position of the monster after you die???

rustysillyband i tried working it out but when i try the local functions wont get called why? please help

Hey I did every thing correct but it didn’t work I really need a monster for my game

I found this video... OMG!!!

when i add the rig it doesn't move. How can i fix this?

love the effort!

my monster doesen't walk what should i do?

as always good job

it is not moving

What if i used a mesh with a humanoid root part? Is that works?

This is so helpful! Thanks!

For some reason the monster in my game just slides across the map and it doesn't go towards any of the waypoints and it doesn't chase or kill the player

You just got a like from me 😊.

is there a way to make the speed of the monster faster? great vid btw

Hey I didn’t see the parts in the waypoints folder

I’m creepy panda but Ty but I don’t like path finding

0:01 SHOOT AND EAT NOOBS REFRENCE????
