I’m trying to make a swordfighting NPC and I’m having a problem where if I use Humanoid:MoveToFinished() the NPC waits until its current path is finished until updating the path path to the player and where if i don’t use Humanoid:MoveToFinished() the NPC doesn’t follow the path at all.
Here’s my code:
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local PathfindingService = game:GetService("PathfindingService")

}

Sorry for the code being a little messy
