How to cancel MoveTo timeout in this function?

Hi, I’ve been using a tutorial on how to create a Tower Defense game and I’m currently trying to figure out how to remove the Time Out on the MoveTo in this function:

function mob.Move(mob, map)
	local targetreached = true
	local humanoid = mob:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
	local waypoints = map.Waypoints
	
	for waypoint=1, #waypoints:GetChildren()do
		mob.MovingTo.Value = waypoint
		humanoid:MoveTo(waypoints[waypoint].Position)
		humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait()
	end
	
	mob:Destroy()
	
	map.Base.Humanoid:TakeDamage(humanoid.Health)
	
end

I’ve tried this and it didn’t help, instead it just instantly ended and the enemies immediately died.

Here is the Roblox Tutorial I was following:

Any help on this I can get would be greatly appreciated.

I had made a tower defense game and came across this issue. My fix to it was to repeat the moveto until it was returned as “successful”.

function mob.Move(mob, map)
	local targetreached = true
	local humanoid = mob:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
	local waypoints = map.Waypoints
	
	for waypoint=1, #waypoints:GetChildren()do
		mob.MovingTo.Value = waypoint
		repeat
			humanoid:MoveTo(waypoints[waypoint].Position)
			local reached = humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait()
		until reached
	end
	
	mob:Destroy()
	
	map.Base.Humanoid:TakeDamage(humanoid.Health)
	
end

as humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait() returns whether it successfully reached the point or not.

This definitely seems to have solved the issue. Thank you! If I run into anymore problems with this I’ll continue to post here. Otherwise we’re looking good here.
