I have been trying to make a pet system with pathfindingservice today, it is my first time using pathfindingservice and i have found it rather difficult. I feel like i have reached a brick wall but i am almost sure this is possible. I want to create a following movement that is smooth and doesnt look like it goes line by line. I have tried destroying the current path and create a new whenever there is a change in direction of the player but it amounts to nothing the same pattern appears really blocky movement only straight line. I am posting this just to ask is this possible I have looked through (old map) Feed Your Pets! - Roblox
as they are open source and i liked their pet system. I found it hard to navigate through the scripts but the i saw they used Humanoids in all their pets which gave me a slight hint that they might use pathfindingservice. This made me think this is possible but i have yet to find any way to make this work. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

In order to get rid of the sort of glitchy movement. you have to change movement destination before the the humanoid/pet reaches it. Else they will stop and the start again which shows up as like a hopping or glitch step. Personally I don’t think you even really need a pathfinding service for pets. You could probably get away with just using the humanoid:MoveTo() functions.
When pet position “X” distance away from character position, pet moveTo character else, frolic around character or something.
