Pathfinding Lagging and Choppy

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

Hello all! I recently created a pathfinding script to let players move on a custom X Y coordinate grid. Everything works fine except the pathfinding is very choppy and laggy. Is there anything I’m doing wrong in this script? I have a feeling it has to do with the while loop, but I’m not quite sure, pathfinding and raycasting are two things that I’m not very good at.


local PathfindingService = game:GetService("PathfindingService")

local rooms = game.ReplicatedStorage.RoomPositions:GetChildren()



function pathFind(player)
	local Humanoid = player.Character.Humanoid
	local torso = player.Character.LowerTorso
	local positionToMoveTo = game.Workspace.Game.Positions:FindFirstChild(player.TogetherPosition.Value) -- Finding the part in the workspace that corresponds to the position the player is at

	local Path = PathfindingService:CreatePath() -- Creates a path
	Path:ComputeAsync(torso.Position,positionToMoveTo.Position) -- Sets the start and end point
	local wayPoints = Path:GetWaypoints() -- little points on the way to the destination
	
	
	for index, waypoint in pairs(wayPoints) do
		Humanoid:MoveTo(waypoint.Position)
		Humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait()
	end
end




while wait() do 
	if game.ReplicatedStorage.RoundInProgress.Value == true then
		local players = game.Players:GetPlayers()
		for i,player in pairs(players) do
			pathFind(player)
		end
	end
end

Also, ignore the Christmas decorations, hoping to launch the game this December.
Sorry the video itself is laggy, but it still shows the stopping and starting of my character.

Finally fixed it. I just set the HumanoidRootPart’s NetworkOwner to nil. That did the trick.
