Can you make another video like this but with a more advanced ai? (e.g moving around parts) It would really help!

How to put script in description of a devmelon video tutorial

[@JumperPlaysRoblox]

Yeeeeeee NICE VIDEO!

[@The-Ace-Animator]

how do you make it to where it only chases you when in a certain range

[@BlueWithaFruit]

script:
local NPC = script.Parent
local HumanoidRootPart = NPC.HumanoidRootPart
local MaxDistance = math.huge
local debounce = false
NPC.Humanoid.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and not debounce then
debounce = true
hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health -= 20
wait(1)
debounce = false
end
end)
while wait() do
local Players = game.Players:GetPlayers()
local closest
for i, plr in pairs(Players) do
if plr.Character and plr.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and plr.Character.Humanoid.Health > 0 then
local PlayerHumanoidRootPart = plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart
local Distance = (HumanoidRootPart.Position - PlayerHumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude
if not closest then
closest = PlayerHumanoidRootPart
end
if (HumanoidRootPart.Position - closest.Position).Magnitude > Distance then
closest = PlayerHumanoidRootPart
end

end
end
if closest and (HumanoidRootPart.Position - closest.Position).Magnitude

you saved me from finding a typo

OMG BRO TYSM I WAS TRYING TO SEARCH FOR A TYPO FOR 30 MIN BUT U SAVED ME

[@PortableContent]

you just saved my keyboard bro 😂

[@thatyoutubeguy-md2ws]

Thank You!!!

[@AminSaler]

THANK YOU SO MUCH BRO

[@deathdoesroblox]

Awesome video! Very Helpful and insightful

[@devmelonroblox]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Ipad_cat]

Wait death ur here too?!🤓

[@Akino_Artist]

finaly someone explaining the script not just giving it to us to copy it thanksss

[@devmelonroblox]

Thansk!

[@JohnaldStudios]

Note to those that might be encountering an issue where the npc won't move despite the entire script being typed in: Make sure to drag ChaseScript onto Rig

[@Tuxedox]

w video bro keep it up

[@devmelonroblox]

Thanks!

[@WhartonProject]

Can you make it so you get a leaderstat/variable when you kill it

[@FlameyClockspeed]

How can you make it so one npc attacks another NPC thats on another team

[@FlameyClockspeed]

I managed to stitch together a working script for my request

[@Ghostly_Rblx]

How would i make it immortal or something like that bc if i put 2 they kill eachother

[@TexturaI]

I'm probably of no help 4 months later, but if you go into the Rig > Humanoid, then into the Humanoid properties, and scroll down to Game, there is MaxHealth, which in short term can help if you give it a really high number
Edit: I tried creating a code, which I suck atAnd I couldn't get it to work. AI helped make this (which I wrote most of.) Try reading already existing codes and sometimes Studio will help but you can always ask AI which I found is an amazing tool for learning code.
Just put the script in the Humanoid space and give the Rig a name so you can keep track of them. I chose "Rig1" as the name and where Rig1 is in the code, replace with what you want. I also added some yapping so you can make some sense of it... hopefully
-------------------------------------------------------------------
local humanoid = workspace.Rig1.Humanoid
if humanoid.MaxHealth < 100 then
humanoid.MaxHealth = 100
end ---It is saying if the max health is less than 100 (The max value), it is equal to 100
while true do --While that is true (That it is less than 100 and SHOULD be equal to 100)
if humanoid.Health < humanoid.MaxHealth then --if the health of the humanoid is less than the max health
humanoid.Health = humanoid.MaxHealth --It is set to equal max health
end
wait(1)--wait 1 second to repeat which should be enough, but I heard it is possible for wait code to be laggy if there are a lot
end

[@mrgoodman7837]

the best of all the devs. love the work dev melon.

[@devmelonroblox]

Thank you good sir

[@clopheritearchive]

You're fr one of the best Roblox Devs on RUclips right now.

[@devmelonroblox]

Thanks!

[@BlueWithaFruit]

How would i be able to change the max distance, like if you were in a certain range it would follow you

[@devmelonroblox]

You set the max distance on the script

[@Rushing-know]

@@devmelonroblox could i do local maxDistance = 10 ?

[@Cravy_MC]

@@Rushing-know yes

[@starblaze0]

Hey, your script works perfectly with running and chasing the player, but how do i make the npc to jump over the obstacles? Im just new to scripting so sorry if its a stupid question

[@CreamyHappy]

Bro, I can't work, I've been trying for an hour but everything I've done has failed, everything I've done has failed😢

[@littlepowkee5671]

same

[@DreamsInMotion37]

Copy and paste this into the old line 2: local HumanoidRootPart = NPC.HumanoidRootPart

[@DreamsInMotion37]

Is should work

[@MentalySlow]

NO WAY! This is amazing. YOU literally read my mind. I was looking for the perfect video, and i think i found it! Thanks so much!

[@devmelonroblox]

You're so welcome!

[@20_cents]

When you kill the npc hes body stays there , it takes damage when someone walks over it , how do I make him desapear after death??!!?!

[@MrJackeeper]

Just Added New script And write this
local Npc = script.Parent
local hum = Npc:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
hum.Died:Connect(function()
wait(2)
Npc:Destroy()
end)

[@20_cents]

@@MrJackeeper Thanks a lot :D

[@LastReelX]

Thank you so much, it actually works. One question though, if there are multiple of these rigs that keep attacking each other instead of the player, how do I make it so they don't attack each other. If you give an answer ill subscribe

[@devmelonroblox]

@@LastReelX check in the chasing and damage script if the name of hit.Parent or target is not the name of the npc

[@hugge6267]

you can do if game.Players:FindFirstChild(hit.Partent.Name) then
that should work

[@2lmao2]

youre literally my roblox studio teacher lmao

[@devmelonroblox]

Ahahah

[@Yuzee18]

fr

[@Greatlymatthew]

How do you make it so that multiple npcs dont kill each other but kill you only

[@devmelonroblox]

You can name them all one name and where it checks for humanoid you can do if name ~= “name of npc”

[@luhrih]

@@devmelonrobloxcan u explain in more detail

[@CosmaticOreo]

i think what he’s trying to say is u need to add in a line ( or part of the same line) that also checks the name of the parent of the “humanoid” part and make sure that the name of the parent isn’t *insert name of npc*

[@CosmaticOreo]

but idk i tried changing the line to "if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and not debounce and not hit.Parent:GetFullName("*insert name*") then" and it didn't do anything

[@Ceve01]

Made my own changes in the code that seems to work, starting from line 8:
NPC.Humanoid.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent.Name ~= "Name of your npc:s" then
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and not Debounce then
Debounce = true
hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health -= 20
wait(1)
Debounce = false
end

end

end)
If hit.parent (The rig) doesn't have the npc:s name. Then it's able to kill it. Just remember to keep the quotation marks and it will hopefully work!

[@mrbob7891]

plsssss help u didnt make a code for allowing him to die

[@decngeorge8428]

i tried to do it but it didn't work to well,it only took damage

[@Borneliuss]

beautiful intro

[@devmelonroblox]

thanks lol

[@TTVtreekoVr]

Pleaseee, your videos are amazing but I had problems with this one, I used a rig from the toolbox of sonic exe and it only does damage when I touch him but he doesn’t chase.. what do I do. Was it bc I didn’t do the same rig as you or no..? I just really need to figure it out. Please and thank you🙏

[@devmelonroblox]

Do you get any errors in your script?

[@TTVtreekoVr]

@@devmelonrobloxno, but does it matter that I didn’t animate it and only copy and pasted the animate script?

[@DevBimon69]

this awesome! defenitly deserve more subscribers

[@Sturdy_Monke]

How do I make it so that when the npc dies it stops dealing damage?

[@JuanDeathJaw]

Hey Devmelon, i really enjoyed your help and script, however whenever i destroy the npc the parts do not disappear, i need help with this because its causing my games to crash

[@SmoresTheFoxy]

TYSM! i was making a game based on my school lunch moniter and she puts us through hell everyday and my buddies told me to make a scary roblox game abt her so i took a good accurate cosplay of her and made the killer NPC with this tut and now i have scary roblox game!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH I WOULDNT BE ABLE TO DO THIS WITHOUT YOU!!!!!!!

[@mr_angel_potat]

bruh finally a scipt that ACUALLY WORKED thx devmelon you helped me ALOT

[@Beastboy-kawaii]

my enemy npcs keep killing each other and then when u touch them their remains hurt u HELP

[@Demonic_Entity-h4t]

you could instead do a script to where it Destroy()'s the body parts of the npc upon death, not sure if it may work but try it if all else fails

[@Mr.Outlet1]

I tried to do the chase script and after i was done it didnt work i do think it had something to do line 37 where you had “if Closest and (HumanoidRootPart.Position - Closest.Position).Magnitude

[@HatInInternet]

U have output windows opened? If you're not getting any errors, try putting print("test") in your script and see if it prints it.

[@spam-jesus_e]

He put it in the wrong place then he moved it down

[@RamboHAZ]

THANKS SO MUCH, i think this is the only tutorial that works and gives animation to it. tysm + 1 sub

[@ZeoNeo-123]

i love how he showcased the thing before explaining it xD

Ahahah thanks

[@smoreblox3485]

Would this still work if im at the top of stairs and the npc is at the bottom?

[@ryujimoshinimation7003]

How can we add an animation on its walking/running and attack mode?

Hey thanks for helping me with my game!
(your prob not going to see this) but how can i make it so the rig will chase after a player when its near them?
thanks for helping me with my game and i hope you have the time to respond

[@devmelonroblox]

Hey! I think I. Will make a renewed version of the tutorial but there’s a way of checking the distance between the player and the dummy and checking if it’s lower

[@devmelonroblox]

It’s quite hard to explain in comments
