Hiwi! o/
Well. You are experiencing that issue, because MoveTo() has a 8 seconds timeout. When the Humanoid is not able to reach the goal position in 8 seconds, the Monster will stop and its choosing the next destination. (lets say the Monster is kinda lazy to fully complete its task xD
A way to avoid that is, feeding the MoveTo() with the same vector before the 8 seconds occurs.
Theres a nice example of how to do it on the MoveTo() hub documentation. But you will need to make many adaptations to make it work as you want to.
I made a little walking system for you to check how to do it. Using a different approach.
You will call the moveTo() custom function, which ask for the Humanoid, the target and a function that selects the next destination.
I placed all your destination parts into a folder called Positions in workspace, so you dont have to hardcode each destination manually. A for loop will find all parts inside the folder, and store them into an array called destinations = {}. And by using a function choosing the next one after the MoveToFinished event is triggered. So, you just need to put as many parts into the folder as you want, doesnt matter the name, just the order in which has been added to the folder.
Then, a spawned loop will be feeding the MoveTo() each 5 seconds, before the 8 secs timeout occurs. When its daylight, that thread will be stoped by another while loop function, which will check the clockTime each 2 secs (you can change those intervals as you need it).
When its night, that loop will stop and let the original thread to continue, using the previous target position got from the array. I left many comments on the script for you to see the approach.
I will attach a roblox file if you have any doubts about the hierarchy. The scripts are placed into ServerScriptService. (I added a day/night cycle too, just to test the Humanoid)
local lighting = game:GetService("Lighting")
local Monster = game.Workspace.Monster
local humanoid = Monster.Humanoid
--[[ Put as many parts into this folder in workspace to have many destinations

local DestinationsFolder = game.Workspace.Positions
-- This array will be populated with all the positions
local destinations = {}
-- The loop to get all positions in folder and add it to the destionations = {} array
for _, d in ipairs(DestinationsFolder:GetChildren()) do
table.insert(destinations, d)
end
-- Holder to know which position is the next one
local currentPos = 1
-- The main Target holder to tell the Humanoid where to go
local target = destinations[currentPos]

Hope it helps :3
