hello! my godot version is:
Godot v4.2.2 stable official
New forum user here, i require help with a script of mine. i did follow 2 seperate tutorials, but both gave the same result; moving the player (which is meant to be the target to move towards), instead of the enemy. (this script is on the enemies root node.

You’ve made your code needlessly complicated. Try exporting the Player as directly instead of using the path to the player as a var. This allows you to do it like its shown below. Also the issue your having has to do with 3 things.
You’re calling move_and_slide() in both _process and _physics_process, which can cause unpredictable movement.
It seems velocity and PSPEED are not properly defined in the provided code.
Physics movement should only happen in _physics_process.
Try this instead.
extends CharacterBody3D
@onready var nav = $NavigationAgent3D
@export var player: CharacterBody3D or even Better Player (Make the player a class.)
@export var PSPEED = 5.0
@export var gravity = 9.8
func _physics_process(delta):
# Handle gravity
if not is_on_floor():
velocity.y -= gravity * delta
else:
velocity.y = 0
# Navigate toward player
if player:
nav.target_position = player.global_position
var next_path_position = nav.get_next_path_position()
# Calculate horizontal velocity (x and z)
var direction = (next_path_position - global_position).normalized()
velocity.x = direction.x * PSPEED
velocity.z = direction.z * PSPEED
else:
print("ERROR: Player reference not set")
# Apply movement
move_and_slide()
To make your player a class, Give it a class name in your player.gd script
extends CharacterBody3D
class_name Player
Then you can reference other places in code by just calling its class name.
when i try this, it has the same result. the player being sucked towards to enemy like it was a black hole. I appreciate the help! however I’m sorry, i require further assistance.
@onready var nav = $NavigationAgent3D
@export var player: Player
@export var PSPEED = 5.0
var gravity = ProjectSettings.get_setting("physics/3d/default_gravity")
func _physics_process(delta):
if not is_on_floor():
velocity.y -= gravity * delta
else:
velocity.y = 0
if player:
nav.target_position = player.global_position
var nextpath_pos = nav.get_next_path_position()
var direction = (nextpath_pos - global_position).normalized()
velocity.x = direction.x * PSPEED
velocity.z = direction.z * PSPEED
else:
print("ERROR: PLAYER REFERNECE NOT SET")
move_and_slide()
The pathfinding is still not working. its like the player is pathfinding towards the enemy instead of the other way around.
Check 2 things for me really quick.
1 Script location. Double-check that this script is attached to the enemy character, not the player character
2 The scene hierarchy. Make sure the NavigationAgent3D is actually a child of the enemy node
Could you also send me a picture of your scene tree?
And also Highlight your player and enemy codes attached script and send them too like this.
enemy attached script: (this is the script with the pathfinding)
player attached script
all in all im very confused
