Pathfinding Modifiers are being ignored
So, that title sounds crazy, I know, but I mean it’s what I am experiencing.
I made some okay-ish NPCs and they do as much as I made them be able to do: talk set lines and walk to random destinations like going to the city centre or going to the park to stand there for a minute or so and go to another point later.
So, as I said, they like to walk around the city and, as we people know, any city has a road, at least a single one, and my city isn’t an exception. It has many roads, and roads are terrain, but I have to add that the roads have a part over them and under them (around 30 studs tall) completely covering them, and the part has a Pathfinding Modifier that has its label set as Road.
But when the NPCs are wandering around the city they just ignore the modifier and cross the road. Keep in mind I’m no dictator—I keep crosswalks reasonably close—but I’ve seen them cross the road a meter away from a crosswalk.

for _, waypoint in ipairs(waypoints) do

end
end
while wait(30) do -- short number just so they think quicker
local Decidedactivity = chooseRandomActivity()
PathFindToLocation(Decidedactivity.Position)
end
the script looks weird, its because of it being under another script because of my laziness
in the screenshot it may look like theyre not that tall but ive tried with tall ones too but doesnt work either
