How to make PathfindingService not hug walls

I’ve been messing around with pathfinding but the npc keeps hugging the wall all the time, is there a way to fix this?

Pathfinding usually tries to make the path as short as possible. This is why it will end up getting closer to the walls. You can keep more of a distance from the walls by increasing the agent radius parameter. This essentially tells the pathfinder that the character is wider.

Watch TheDevKing’s tutorial on pathfinding, it is pretty helpful.

as @Emskipo said above,
make the agent radius bigger

local PathfindingService = game:GetService("PathfindingService")
 
local path = PathfindingService:CreatePath({
	AgentRadius = 5, --studs
})
