				p.Size = Vector3.new(0.5,0.5,0.5)

				p.Anchored = true
				p.Material = Enum.Material.Neon
				p.CanCollide = false
				p.Transparency = 0.5
				table.insert(waypointparts,p)

Whenever the NPC reaches a waypoint it will stop for a split second and then move again except it only happens after multiple npcs are already in the game since i have a script that spawnsan npc every 2 seconds so the first few npc’s walk normally but after the game spawns 10+ npc’s the delay between moving to the next waypoint begins.

and before you say anything yes the Primary Part of the npc is set to the server using SetNetworkOwner(nil)

Have you checked if the NPCs you are spawning aren’t causing server lag?
