Is there any way to make this pathfinding script more advanced?

[JetJettoJet (sk8)]

so im trying to make this enemy npc be able to jump when an obstacle/terrain is infront of them

local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local humanoid = script.Parent
local root = humanoid.Parent.PrimaryPart

local targetDistance = 30
local stopDistance = 0

function findNearestPlayer()
	local playerList = Players:GetPlayers()
	
	local nearestPlayer = nil
	local distance = nil
	local direction = nil
	
	for _, player in pairs(playerList) do
		local character = player.Character
		if character then
			local distanceVector = (player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position - root.Position)
			if not nearestPlayer then
				nearestPlayer = player
				distance = distanceVector.Magnitude
				direction = distanceVector.Unit
			elseif distanceVector.Magnitude < distance then
				nearestPlayer = player
				distance = distanceVector.Magnitude
				direction = distanceVector.Unit
			end	
		end
	end
	
	return nearestPlayer, distance, direction
end

RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
	local nearestPlayer, distance, direction = findNearestPlayer()
	if nearestPlayer then
		if distance <= targetDistance and distance >= stopDistance then
			humanoid:Move(direction)
		else
			
			humanoid:Move(Vector3.new())
		end
	end
end)

but all it does is stay there

You don’t seem to be using PathfindingService, which would allow the npc to jump:

local PathfindingService = game:GetService("PathfindingService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")

local TARGET_DISTANCE = 30
local STOP_DISTANCE = 0

local humanoid = script.Parent
local npc = humanoid.Parent
local primaryPart = npc.PrimaryPart or npc:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

local intValue = Instance.new("IntValue")

local npcSize = npc:GetExtentsSize()

local path = PathfindingService:CreatePath({
	AgentCanJump = true,
	AgentHeight = npcSize.Y,
	AgentRadius = if npcSize.X < npcSize.Z then npcSize.Z / 2 else npcSize.X / 2})


local function getNearestPlayer(): Player?
	local currentDistance = TARGET_DISTANCE
	local nearestPlayer = nil

	for _, player in Players:GetPlayers() do
		if player.Character then
			local distance = player:DistanceFromCharacter(primaryPart.Position)

			if distance > STOP_DISTANCE and distance <= currentDistance then
				currentDistance = distance
				nearestPlayer = player
			end
		end
	end

	return nearestPlayer
end

local function npcMoveTo(targetPosition: Vector3)
	path:ComputeAsync(primaryPart.Position, targetPosition)

	if path.Status == Enum.PathStatus.Success then
		for _, waypoint in path:GetWaypoints() do
			humanoid.Jump = (waypoint.Action == Enum.PathWaypointAction.Jump)
			humanoid:MoveTo(waypoint.Position)
			humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait()
		end
	end
end

intValue.Changed:Connect(function(value: number)
	if value == 0 then
		humanoid:MoveTo(primaryPart.Position) -- This should stop the npc
	else
		local player = Players:GetPlayerByUserId(value)

		if player and player.Character then
			npcMoveTo(player.Character:GetPivot().Position)
		end
	end
end)

RunService.PostSimulation:Connect(function()
	local player = getNearestPlayer()

	intValue.Value = if player then player.UserId else 0
end)
