code

local char = script.Parent
local hum = char:WaitForChild("EnemyHumanoid")
local pathfindingserv = game:GetService("PathfindingService")
char.PrimaryPart:SetNetworkOwner(nil)

local function findtarget()
	local players = game.Players:GetPlayers()
	local maxdist = 100
	local dist
	local nearesttarget
	
	for i, player in pairs(players) do
		if player.Character then
			local target = player.Character
			dist = (char.HumanoidRootPart.Position - target.HumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude
			if dist < maxdist then
				nearesttarget = target
				maxdist = dist
			end
		end
	end
	return nearesttarget
end

local function getpath(destination)
	local pathparams = {
		["AgentHeight"] = 6,
		["AgentRadius"] = 4,
		["AgentCanJump"] = true
	}
	local path = pathfindingserv:CreatePath()
	path:ComputeAsync(char.HumanoidRootPart.Position,destination.HumanoidRootPart.Position)
	return path
end


local function walkto(destination)
	local path = getpath(destination)
	if path.Status == Enum.PathStatus.Success then
	for i, waypoint in pairs(path:GetWaypoints()) do
			if waypoint.Action == Enum.PathWaypointAction.Jump then
			hum:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping)	
	end
			hum:MoveTo(waypoint.Position)
			hum.MoveToFinished:Wait()
		end
	end
end


while wait() do
	local target = findtarget()
	if target then
		walkto(target)
	end
end

Could you elaborate by how they’re delayed?

Also I DO NOT recommend assigning a name to index in for loops if you’re NOT gonna use it. This can cause memory leaks, therefore, a bad practice! Many programmers commit this mistake, and professionals are aware of it.

Instead, assign it with underscore, in other words, a dash (_).

The pathfinding isnt really updating instantly so it leaves with an weird result of the enemy turning left and right
