You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
    What i want to achieve is to make a pathfinding npc be able to kick down doors

  2. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
    I have tried to use raycasting to do it, but however, i cant seem to make the npc be able to kick down doors

You could try a pathfinding modifier label to activate the door kick function.
This is what I used once to make a NPC open the door.

for _, waypoint in pairs(waypoints) do

		
			if waypoint.Label == "Open" then				
				local overlapParams = OverlapParams.new()
				overlapParams.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Exclude
				overlapParams.FilterDescendantsInstances = {NPC}
				local place = workspace:GetPartBoundsInRadius(NPC.PrimaryPart.CFrame.Position,6,overlapParams)				
				for i, v in place do					
					if v.Name == "OpenDoorA" or v.Name == "OpenDoorB"  then
						local base = v.Parent.Base
						local hinge = base.Parent.Doorframe.Hinge
						local prompt = base.ProximityPrompt
						local goalOpen = {}
						goalOpen.CFrame = hinge.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(90), 0)
						local goalClose = {}
						goalClose.CFrame = hinge.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, 0, 0)
						local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(1)
						local tweenOpen = TweenService:Create(hinge, tweenInfo, goalOpen)
						local tweenClose = TweenService:Create(hinge, tweenInfo, goalClose)
						if prompt.ActionText == "Open" then			
							print("Open")
							tweenOpen:Play()
							prompt.ActionText = "Close"
							v.Parent:SetAttribute("Open",true)
							base.CanCollide = false
							base.Union.CanCollide = false
						elseif prompt.ActionText == "Close" then
							print("Close")
							tweenOpen:Play()
							prompt.ActionText = "Open"
							v.Parent:SetAttribute("Open",false)
							base.CanCollide = true
							base.Union.CanCollide = true
						end
					end
				end
			end
			NPC.Humanoid:MoveTo(waypoint.Position)

It seems to not work, i see that you are using a populer e to open door model from toolbox.However,
It will not work

Did you enable the passthrough on the pathfinding modifier? And yes was a quick door to test.
And as I remember I did have to put the modifier in a part in front of the door on the floor so the pathfinding could see it.
