NPCs, or non-player characters, can add a lot of depth to a game. NPCs can be enemies for players to fight, colorful characters that players can talk to and interact with, and more.

Sometimes an NPC can stand in one place, like a shopkeeper working at a small in-game shop. In other cases, an NPC will look much less robotic (and more human!) if it moves around, even if it’s basic movement between two or more points.

• I mean as soon as a player reaches a certain distance between the NPC, I want the NPC to react to that player and follow the player. For example look at the game Ro-Ghoul on Roblox, it shows how the NPC follows the player when reaching certain distance between the NPC and player. Also this is outdoors, in open ground, not a room.

Moving to a Point

Hello, So basically i'm trying to make a horror game in roblox studio, game like games from Rust010. I'm trying to make an NPC spawn, wander arround the map or follow the player, maybe die/respawn and run away when you get too close.

A simple way to move an NPC is with the Humanoid object, a special object that gives a Model|model the functionality of a character, even if it doesn’t look human. This allows the model to physically move around the place and interact with objects in it.

Consider this zombie. Zombies aren’t very smart, so we can make it walk in a straight line without worrying if anything is in the way.

For convenience, the green flag model inside the game has been named GreenFlag. We’ll use it as the first destination for the zombie to walk to. Consider this example:

In this basic code, we find the Zombie model in the workspace, get its Humanoid object, set the green flag as the destination point, and then tell the zombie to walk toward it using the Humanoid/MoveTo|MoveTo() method.

Moving to Additional Points

Moving an NPC to one point is cool, but what about moving it in a series of points? You could script a bunch of Humanoid/MoveTo|MoveTo() and wait() commands in a sequence, but that’s tedious to code.

A better solution is to use the Humanoid/MoveToFinished|MoveToFinished event. This event lets you pause a script until the Humanoid/MoveTo|MoveTo() action is completed and the NPC reaches its destination. Then you can continue running the script, moving the NPC onward to another point or back to its original point.

In the following code, we create another variable, pointB, for the purple flag. Immediately after sending the zombie toward the green flag, we pause the script. Once it reaches that flag, the script continues and we send the zombie moving toward the purple flag.

Cycling Between Points

Now that the zombie moves between the two flags, let’s finish up this script by adding:

1. A loop which makes the zombie continually patrol back and forth between the flags.
2. A customizable “patrol delay” which makes the zombie pause for a short time before moving to the next point.

That’s it! Now the zombie patrols between the flags, stopping to rest for 2 seconds each time.

Where next? As you can see, straight-line movement between points is simple but it’s also limiting. If any obstacle exists on the path (wall, river, cliff, etc.), the NPC might never reach its destination. Zombies don’t have big brains, but other NPCs should act “smarter” and try to find the best path to a destination. Learn how in the Articles/Pathfinding|Pathfinding guide!

Roblox Wisteria, a fan-made game based on the anime Kimetsu no Yaiba (Demon Slayer) anime, offers players a cool little adventure that is way more fun than meets the eye. The combat system is rich and includes a number of breathing styles that can be combined into some really powerful attack patterns. This guide will provide you with tips on how to get all types of breathing in Roblox Wisteria.

Players need to talk to dedicated trainer NPCs that will challenge you to complete three tasks: moving boulders, overcoming parkour obstacles, and sparring. Every time you complete such a challenge you will unlock one of the five sets of breathing styles currently available in the game.

Water Breathing

Water Breathing is currently the best style you can get, so let's start with it. You can earn it by speaking to Water Trainer located at the south-western corner of the map near the waterfall.

Once you speak to him you will be directed to the training grounds where you need to complete all the tasks in order to earn the following three Water Breathing styles:

• Water Surface Slash
• Water Wheel
• Flowing Dance

The best part about Water Breathing is that there are almost no cooldowns on your styles. You can just keep activating them one after another creating some amazing combos.

Flame Breathing

Flame Breathing is very similar to Water Breathing in many ways but using the fire element. It's really easy to find the Flame Trainer, since he stands right near spawn in the southern part of the main street.

If you can complete all the training challenges he gives you, then you will earn the following three Flame Breathing styles:

• Unknowing Fire
• Rising Scorching Sun
• Blooming Flame Undulation

The second style is especially strong, as it creates a swirling cloud of fire that decimates everything in your path. Although the cooldowns aren't as quick as in the Water Breathing, it's a great set of styles nonetheless.

Thunder Breathing

In the north-western part of the town you will find a bridge that can take you to the wild forest region of the map. Right after you cross the bridge just keep following the western route and soon you will come to the mountain.

Start climbing up using the platforms and soon you will arrive at a hut with a Thunder Trainer, who can teach you three Thunder Breathing styles:

• Thunderclap
• Heat Lightning
• Rice Spirit

Since all three styles are very powerful and make up for some very fast attacks, they consume lots of breathing stamina.

Wind Breathing

Wind Breathing can be earned at the same location as Thunder Breathing, but you need to go even higher atop the mountain from the Thunder Trainer's hut.

You should soon arrive at a dead end with lots of rocks around and Wind Trainer waiting for you in the open. Complete his challenges and earn the following three styles:

• Whirlwind
• Claws-Purifying Wind
• Clean Storm Wind Tree

This breathing will fit players who like to defeat demons in a ranged mode. The power of the wind will spread out into the distance dealing damage.

Moon Breathing

While the previous four breathing styles are available to all players, the Moon breathing can be unlocked only by the members of the Tsugikuni clan. You can purchase the membership using Robux currency or through giveaways.

The Moon Trainer can be reached via the waterfall near the Water Trainer's hut. You need to climb up across the waterfall and follow the route to the mansion on the other side. You can find the trainer at the backyard and unlock the following three breathing styles:

• Evening Palace
• Calamitous Eddy
• Moonlit Misfortune

The latter one is a very powerful AoE attack that sends three waves of projectiles in any desired direction, which is excellent for crowd control.
