My pathfinding script currently only lets my NPC walk to 1 waypoint. How do I make it walk to more waypoints?

char = script.Parent
pathFinder = game:GetService(“PathfindingService”)

path = pathFinder:CreatePath()

path:ComputeAsync(char.HumanoidRootPart.Position, workspace.Destination.Position)

for i, wayPoint in pairs(path:GetWaypoints()) do
char.Humanoid:MoveTo(wayPoint.Position)

if wayPoint.Action == Enum.PathWaypointAction.Jump then
	char.Humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping)
end

char.Humanoid.MoveToFinished:wait()	
--script.Parent.Donelol.Value = true

end

What seems to be the issue? What you’re doing seems to be correct.

You can make a function, for example;

char = script.Parent
repeat wait() until char:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")  and char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
PathfindingService = game:GetService(“PathfindingService”)

local function walkTo(part)
   path = PathfindingService:CreatePath()
   path:ComputeAsync(char.HumanoidRootPart.Position, part.Position)
   for i, wayPoint in pairs(path:GetWaypoints()) do
      char.Humanoid:MoveTo(wayPoint.Position)
      if wayPoint.Action == Enum.PathWaypointAction.Jump then
	     char.Humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping)
      end
      char.Humanoid.MoveToFinished:wait()	
   end
end

walkTo(workspace.Destination)

With that function you can do this,

walkTo(workspace.Destination1)
walkTo(workspace.Destination2)
#7

It uses a for loop, script won’t continue until first function finishes. So script will wait until character walks to the destination1 and then will start going to the destination2.

It is because script runs before HumanoidRootPart exists. I updated the function, please try again.
