How to set Network ownership on NPC

Do i just set it on the npc group or on each part of the npc?

I believe that this is the way to do it:

local function setNetworkOwnerOfModel(model, networkOwner)
	for _, descendant in pairs(model:GetDescendants()) do
		-- Go through each part of the model
		if descendant:IsA("BasePart") then
			-- Try to set the network owner
			if descendant:CanSetNetworkOwnership() then
				descendant:SetNetworkOwner(networkOwner)
			end
		end
	end
end

Then you can apply this to your NPC.

local NPC = workspace.NPC

-- Make the server the network owner
setNetworkOwnerOfModel(NPC, nil)

This might be a bit more safe:

local function setNetworkOwnerOfModel(model, networkOwner)
	for _, descendant in pairs(model:GetDescendants()) do
		-- Go through each part of the model
		if descendant:IsA("BasePart") then
			-- Try to set the network owner
			local success, errorReason = descendant:CanSetNetworkOwnership()
			if success then
				descendant:SetNetworkOwner(networkOwner)
			else
				-- Sometimes this can fail, so throw an error to prevent
				-- ... mixed networkownership in the 'model'
				error(errorReason)
			end
		end
	end
end
