Is it possible to make a waterborne npc with default pathfinding? (Example below)

Hello everyone, I am wondering whether it is possible to make a waterborne npc with default pathfinding. For example, could you use Roblox pathfinding to make a shark chase a player? (This would be difficult, because the shark would have to go through the default terrain water). If so, how would I do it? Thanks

It is totally possible to do so. Just use normal pathfinding scripts.

I do recommend that you do not use terrain for anything else other than water, since the waypoints do glitch and go up by 100 studs randomly.

Hmm, doesn’t seem to work. My script is

path:ComputeAsync(Shark,part)
			local waypoints = path:GetWaypoints()
			if #waypoints >= 1 then
				if #waypoints < 10 then
					humanoid.WalkSpeed = 18
					humanoid:MoveTo(waypoints[#waypoints].Position)
				elseif #waypoints < 40 then
					humanoid.WalkSpeed = 3
					humanoid:MoveTo(waypoints[4].Position)
				else
					--do nothing
				end
			end

It can chase the player if they stay at the water’s surface but it doesn’t work if they go under.
