Pathfinding move between points

Moving the dummy from A to B is fine, however how would I move the dummy back to A afterwards?

local Patrol_Delay = 5

local function Activate2WayPoints(key)  -- the key is the name of the dummy
	local StartPosition = NPCFolder.Guard[key..""].HumanoidRootPart.Position	-- Create start and end
	local EndPosition = NPCFolder.Waypoints[key.."_B"].Position
	
	local Path1 = PathfindingService:CreatePath()	-- Create path
	Path1:ComputeAsync(StartPosition, EndPosition)
	
	local waypoints = Path1:GetWaypoints()
	for _, waypoint in pairs(waypoints) do	-- Loop through waypoints
		local part = Instance.new("Part")
		part.Shape = "Ball"
		part.Material = "Neon"
		part.Size = Vector3.new(0.6, 0.6, 0.6)
		part.Position = waypoint.Position
		part.Anchored = true
		part.CanCollide = false
		part.Parent = game.Workspace
		
		NPCFolder.Guard[key..""].Humanoid:MoveTo(waypoint.Position)
		NPCFolder.Guard[key..""].Humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait()
	end
end

while wait(Patrol_Delay) do  -- Loop through a folder containing multiple dummies
	for _,Guards in pairs(Level1Folder.NPC.Guard:GetChildren()) do
		Activate2WayPoints(Guards.Name)
	end
end

Just make it go to A using the script?

What kind of answer is this?
I could just create another path and copy and paste all that code but that just seems inefficient.
What I want to do is apply something like this to my code, however I don’t know how.

But thats how I did it in my code, there is nothing special about this just do what you already have done

#5

You mean you want to reuse the waypoints? You can go through tables backwards.
for i = #waypoints, 1, -1 do

#6

You’re using a function. You could just add parameters of it. Don’t call my answer dumb because I’m proving a point.
