Ai repeatedly moving to multiple spots at the same time

Hey, my AI isn’t follow me because it’s sometimes spammed.

Any idea how to fix?

wait(0.5)
local Bear = game:GetService("ServerStorage").BlackBear
local BearHumanoid = Bear.Humanoid
local PathFindingService = game:GetService("PathfindingService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Settings = script:WaitForChild("Settings")
local Player = script.Parent
local PlayerHumanoidRoot = Player.HumanoidRootPart
Bear.Parent = workspace
local MaxDistance = Settings.aiMaxDistance.Value
local loadrun = BearHumanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Running)
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService") 
loadrun:Play()
local function FollowPlayer()
	local Path = PathFindingService:CreatePath()
	local MovingToPosition = PlayerHumanoidRoot.Position - Vector3.new(5,0,0)
	local ComputedPath = Path:ComputeAsync(Bear.HumanoidRootPart.Position, MovingToPosition)
	return Path
end

RunService.Stepped:Connect(function()
	FollowPlayer()
	local Path = FollowPlayer()
	for Index, Waypoint in pairs(Path:GetWaypoints()) do
		BearHumanoid:MoveTo(Waypoint.Position)
		BearHumanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait()
		local Part = Instance.new("Part",workspace)
		Part.Anchored = true
		Part.Position = Waypoint.Position
	end
end)

Right here. Maybe try putting Wait(1) or Wait(2) see if that works

Nope, it doesn’t do anything. Any other clues?

It also seems like your trying to run the function 2 times?

Is there any explanation for this? Maybe removing the top function.

Since it’s a connection it won’t yield at the MoveToFinished:Wait() (or anywhere since it runs every time the Stepped is fired).
You can try making a debounce so it checks if the loop is already running.
Alternatively you can just use a while wait() loop.
Example:

local Debounce = false

RunService.Stepped:Connect(function()
    if  Debounce == false then
        Debounce = true
    	FollowPlayer()
	    local Path = FollowPlayer()
    	for Index, Waypoint in pairs(Path:GetWaypoints()) do
	    	BearHumanoid:MoveTo(Waypoint.Position)
	     	BearHumanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait()
	    	local Part = Instance.new("Part",workspace)
	    	Part.Anchored = true
    		Part.Position = Waypoint.Position
    	end
        Debounce = false
    end
end)

Also if the AI seems kinda janky when you get this working you can try changing the Network owner of the NPC at start of the script.

NPC.PrimaryPart:SetNetworkOwner(nil)
