Thank you for your service. This is going to help so many people

[BringBackHowler]

Hello! And thank you for this i really needed this! Now i just wanted to ask how can you implement that it makes Walking sounds when walking?
I also wanted to make it so that the vision turns slightly red and a chasemusic Plays when the monster is chasing a player

[officiallysmooth]

I've noticed that that the npc often glitches after chasing the Player, when it goes back to wandering or just following a general path it stops and restarts multiple times along the path

[DreamGamingTv]

Hey, can u make a tutorial how to hide in a closet for example with these ai? Would be insane

[wxlfeclxpse]

Oo I’ll try this sometime! And ty!
Is it possible to make the npcs look exactly like an exact copy of every player in the server?

When I go to AI, then to, precode, then to ChaseAi, then open that, I get ChaseAIBase and ChaseAIWithHiding. Not InNPC. Do I drag both of those folders into the Dummy?

[OrganicMilkGang]

bro i set the patrol speed to 100 to see if it would work and the npc, in less than a second speeds over to my location then starts running towards me at 20 speed and insta kills me. that genuinely scared me.

[NotElGato.]

Thank you, you saved me, but one question, how do you have those points that indicate where the ai is going?

[dev_axel]

This is an absolutely insane life-saver, thanks. Is there a way to make it have different animations for different actions though? (For instance, an animation for wandering, for chasing, for attacking etc.) Because I know that in order to achieve this I'd have to modify the AI script, right?

[Amaze-rw]

Heya thanks for the vid! it was really helpful. Do you know how i can apply animations to the npc while its using that script?

[WhiteGuyGTAG]

the pathfinding dont work if i put randomwarding to true and where are the purple waypoints

[The_GoldenSpectra]

I actually don’t know but it doesn’t wander around but when it’s in sight it attacks you

[puremuskratt]

i have the nodes and everything, made sure to put em in a folder and did all the steps correctly (up to the wandering point) but the ai wont move, attack, or do anything

[Chefpyro]

i keep getting a "No path could be found. This is an issue with Roblox, not Forbidden. The NPC might also not be able to fit where the waypoint is, please see 'AgentRadius'" error, even thought i added an agent radius

[helix]

Yo do I have to create the blocks (like the waypoints) If so I just place one or do I have to put a script in it

[frightenedanimal]

So I'm not sure what this is, but I've noticed that after about three minutes the AI's movements will become extremely choppy. Eventually it just stops moving entirely. I checked the debug and it's just spamming the console with errors saying "[Forbidden.AI] The AI was not successful in a movement: (Rig)" and it begins restarting wander over and over. Is this a known bug?

[nqcolas]

my ai keeps getting stuck on walls while wandering

[OrganicMilkGang]

after death and respawning, the npc seems to glitch out after reaching the first waypoint.

[Marshall]

Hello! the potential in this API is amazing! I just wondered something, im making a zombie game and these zombies ONLY target Players. However there are OTHER NPC's inside my game that should be targeted by the zombie, like Military, Police, Survivors ETC. Can someone please help me about customizing the script to achieve this? The script looks complicated im confused.

[Bylocz]

It says: attempt to index nil with "FindFirstChild" what should i do? i did exactly as it says in the video, but its a custom mesh so maybe thats why. Could you help me?

Also i forgot to mention the line:
if then

updateVars(obj.Parent)
end
