Roblox Enemy NPC Tutorial - Part 1 

A moment of silence for this man, he didn't have coffee this morning 😢 btw awesome tutorial my man

I have spent many painstakingly long hours trying to learn Pathfinding and other things like this, but this was really easy to follow and somewhat easy to understand. Liked and subscribed!

MrModuleScript:"Now we have to deal with a nil value in our heartbeat" bro thats dark

thank u for ur helpful tutorial , u just saved me hours of learning

This video is 1 year old but yet it helped me out so much 🥰. 3 days of looking for the perfect video was worth it, you earned a like and subscription from me.

Finally! I got it to work, I just had to un anchor the humanoid root part! Thanks so much for the great vid it helped me so much

Thank you, I created a enemy in roblox studio back in 2016 I believe that I wanted to make for a game, but got discouraged when I couldn't figure out how to get it to chase players. Now you've given me a basic idea on what I need to do in order to create enemies for my games.👍

Thank you SO SO much. I'm making a survival game and I've been searching for a great tutorial like this! Glad I found this.

Im just starting to script and your tutorial helped me more than I could ever imagine

If it isn't moving make sure the torso or humanoidrootpart is unanchored

I thought it would not work, like some of the other tutorials I tried, but this guys a legend!!!

Sorry I am late, but this tutorial helped me a lot, but I didn't understand all of it, so I got the model that you put in, sorry. Great tutorial! Your voice was loud and clear, you said everything so understandable.

Great Tutorial! So clear and works great. Keep it up

Thank you so much! It took me forever to find a tutorial that i understand. You earned a like and a sub :)

Awesome video!! After searching multiple different videos yours was the one that explained it all and made it easy. I liked the speed of the video, the explanation of the lines of code, and the tenor of your audio (no screaming or crazyness). Great job! I really appreciate it!

DUDE THANK YOU SO MUCH! I have been looking for hours for a script like this!

Thank u so much now my so know how to script on this game I will like and sub

Thank you for this video, it helped out so much, and thanks for going slow with writing the code and explaining the important parts!

was desperated until I found my mistake is a syntax error in the script; now it works fine for me Thanks a lot, keep going

Yoo thanks for the tutorial! it helped me a lot :D

Finally, a video that doesn't make me copy and paste the script

For anyone what for R6 Rig Type (because this script not work on r6 type only r15) Note: It all rewrite by ChatGPT local RunService = game:GetService("RunService") local Players = game:GetService("Players") local humanoid = script.Parent local root = humanoid.Parent.Head local targetDistance = 20 local stopDistance = 5 function findNearestPlayer() local playerList = Players:GetPlayers() local nearestPlayer = nil local distance = nil local direction = nil for _, player in pairs(playerList) do local character = player.Character if character then local distanceVector = (player.Character.Head.Position - root.Position) if not nearestPlayer then nearestPlayer = player distance = distanceVector.Magnitude direction = distanceVector.Unit elseif distanceVector.Magnitude < distance then nearestPlayer = player distance = distanceVector.Magnitude direction = distanceVector.Unit end end end return nearestPlayer, distance, direction end RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function() local nearestPlayer, distance, direction = findNearestPlayer() if nearestPlayer then if distance = stopDistance then humanoid:Move(direction) else humanoid:Move(Vector3.new()) end end end)

I'm so happy this works with r6 as well

incredibly useful tutorial, cant count the number of hours ive been trying to learn how to do this. Liekd and subscribed.

bro earned a sub faster than me looking for my dad

8:37 bro direction is an absolute UNIT hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehhehehehehehhehhhehhe E E e e ᵉ ᵉ . . spiderman on his way home

I guess I am just really dumb and did something wrong because I downloaded the script and it worked but mine did not lol. You have earned a sub man!

very epic and cool

Epic video Didn't know a tutorial like this existed

thank you are the only one that i found that does not do copy and paste

Yo, i can tell this man is gonna be pretty big soon. I mean content is pretty good and he's pretty master. I just have 1 tip to get bigger. Make more tutorials that people are most likely going to search for. Like this video is a pretty good one. Keep it up!

Workspace.Model.Humanoid.EnemyController:20: attempt to index nil with 'Position' So I created my own model and rigged it my self and tried to implement the code on it but it just pops up as Workspace.Model.Humanoid.EnemyController:20: attempt to index nil with 'Position' idk if its because its a four legged model instead of a r15 or r6 model but it still has the humanoid in it. I could really appreciate the help.

This will really help with my friends game! Thanks alot!

thanks i watched this for a game with my friends :)

Just add the following line if r15 does not move root.Anchored = false

yoo broo, really apprechiate that you made this vid, also do you know how i could make the dummy walk faster?

This is so cool and I had fun following along!! I still struggle to understand the "why" for a lot of things in script as a newbie, but I'm sure it'll make sense the more I learn. thank you for this video. :^D

This is really helpful for making a Partygoer in my Backrooms game!

sat here for 20 minutes (real) looking through the script for why it wouldnt work whatsoever, and i finally realized i forgot an end at line 31. coding is so fun i want to do it everyday

this helped me out so much

I have an error saying "Unable to cast double to Vector3". My script is : local RunService = game:GetService("RunService") local Players = game:GetService("Players") local Humanoid = script.Parent local root = Humanoid.Parent.PrimaryPart local targetDistance = 20 local stopDistance = 5 function FindNearestPlayer() local playerList = Players:GetPlayers() local nearestPlayer = nil local distance = nil local direction = nil for _, player in pairs(playerList) do local character = player.Character if character then local distanceVector = (player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position - root.Position) if not nearestPlayer then nearestPlayer = player distance = distanceVector.Magnitude direction = distanceVector.Unit elseif distanceVector.Magnitude < distance then nearestPlayer = player distance = distanceVector.Magnitude direction = distanceVector.Unit end end end return nearestPlayer, distance, direction end RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function() local nearestPlayer, distance, direction = FindNearestPlayer() if nearestPlayer then if distance = stopDistance then Humanoid:Move(distance) else Humanoid:Move(Vector3.new()) end end end) Please someone help.

Does anyone know how to fix the error where it says that move is not a valid member of part?

Make sure to use character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.Position instead of character.HumanoidRootPart.Position to calculate the distanceVector if you're getting errors about that

Thanks For The Video!

can I use r6 dummy?

If I could subscribe twice, I would. No thumbs up, all my fingers up! (Which doesnt make sense but still...) I'm oof to part 2!!

Thank you so much for a legit script that works very nicely!

this is the birth of the student enemy for me

You are a w man this will help me so much thank you🙂

I can't figure out why my custom rig isn't working with the Script

I Subscribed!

W video bro.

ty hehe

Torso. Unanchored. HumanoidRootPart. Unanchored. Script. No errors. Still couldnt move. The only thing that was anchored was the Humanoid.

thank you! :D

Thank you, this video was very helpful for me, but i'm curious about how can i make npcs go back to their spawn or other places after they stopped chasing player?

can you make a tutorial so that we can make a mesh with a humanoid in it attack you instead of a dummy

why does the end ()) has a wrong in it ? Runservice.Heartbeat:Connect(function() local nearestplayer, distance, direction = FindNearestPlayer() if nearestplayer then if distance = stopDistance then humainoid:Move(direction) else humainoid:Move(Vector3.new()) end end)

How would i add animations to this?

I wanna make an npc like this that is friendly if you have a specific item or a specific team

It doesn't work for me. I've tried lots of NPC tutorials, but nothing has happened. My dummy doesn't move a stud. Is my studio bugged??

Do not talk to me until I have my morning coffee

``if not nearestPlayer or distanceVector.Magnitude < distance then``

after I downloaded the dummy it kept spawning in every of my baseplates. How can you make it stop?

Btw can you paste script here im having hard time making a game so putting the script in the comments will really help me. Even if you dont thx for tutorial

You deserve more subs

i cant do it its to hard for me :(

thank you

I have a problem, my characters that I added aren't taking damage from anything, does anyone have a fix

there a way to make it only target you when you're on a certain team?

It gives me an error: "Workspace.StarterCharacter.EnemyController:20: attempt to index nil with 'Position' - Server" Can anyone help me?

when i use a kickback move it completely flys away

If you followed the instructions perfectly but it still doesn't work, MAKE SURE THE SCRIPT IS IN THE HUMANOID, not just in the model!

Part 1 results : How to make a "peacefull" enemy npc

thanks man it works, but do you have any way to make it that it avoids walls? it will chase me but it gets stuck in walls and other obstacles

nice work i love it but its easyer if we could copy and past

Trying to follow this using an enemy model I brought in from Blender. I got it to work for the R15 model but when I try and change the wording based on the model I am using I am getting a ton of errors so thinking I'm changing it wrong. Any tips on doing this for an injected model? This is the current error I am getting and it seems to not like Vector3.new: Move is not a valid member of MeshPart "Workspace.Enemies.Candy_Land.Hot_Choc_Mob_1.Plate". Thank you in advance

Thanks!

When testing with multiple players the script seems confused about which player/where to target. It seems to be trying to target both players at the same time instead of focusing on the single closest player

i have one question, how i change the speed of the model, i want to make a faster chaser

Thank you

can you create a monster that randomly attacks the player like Charles from "Choo Choo Charles" I understand that this game was made on a different game creation engine, but if possible, please do a tutorial on this

do i have to put it to nil or some other name?

Will there be a second part? subbed btw

Remember to put the script in the humanoid guys

make one with that finding plz

I put everything correctly but the npc won’t move

(pls reply) (in the script) when pressing enter there are a couple of spaces and the text appears more to the right, right. Does it mater if the space is there? (same thing about the "end" does it mater if it is there?

how can I make a script that prints something in the console when you get a badge

Could you also make dummy that helps you in a battle

everytime i try the npc in studio and click play, there are hundreds of dummys on top of me, please help!

is he able to like know that theres an object infront of him can go past stuff or just get stuck?

they dont do anything even though i get no errors i tried both r6 and r15 and it doesnt want to work

this is useful but could you at some point make one for models, not the normal dummy.

Yo when I play it says “Character is. Not a valid member of Players “Players”

Cool

Looks like the video was recorded in 720p... I'm so sorry. Woops! The next videos will be back to 1080p. Sorry if the video looks a little blurry!

can you make it stop after being to far away like the chasing is a range?

how do you give the npc health i watched all parts but like no hp!!!!

i need an enemy that walks while you on roblox studio
