Roaming NPC

Is anyone willing to spare about 30 minutes (maybe less) to help me set up an NPC that roams aimlessly among a given area?

Things I've tried with no success:

I'm fairly new to typescript and this is driving me crazy. But i feel like if someone shows me once, I can do it myself from there anytime I want to create a roaming NPC again.

Please and thank you in advance. You would be saving my sanity

Desktop Editor
Gen AI
navmesh
NPCs
TypeScript

    What has your process been in trying to set this up so far? This will help determine what's got you stuck :)

    Have you:

    • Set up a navmesh and can see the coloured grid overlay
    • Added the NPCs API from the scripts settings panel
    • Got the worlds NavMeshManager in your script
    • Got the NPC as an NpcPlayer in your script

    Or is the issue more that you've got them to move but structuring code to "roam" is tricky?

    I think the NPC API has changed recently, I've found the GenAI code to be out of date as far as NPCs are concerned.

      All of the above. I went back to the public asset NPC roaming and was able to tweak it with the help of ChatGPT (Typescript). GenAI is very outdated and often messes things up.
