Pathfinding Player chasing AI

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hi I am trying to make a player chasing AI. It works fine but the player can easily just go around a wall and it becomes useless. I have tried putting in a basic pathfinding thing in but that did not work and it becomes super glitchy. Can anyone explain how I can fix this?

local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local humanoid = script.Parent
local root = humanoid.Parent.PrimaryPart

local targetDistance = script:GetAttribute("TargetDistance")
local stopDistance = script:GetAttribute("StopDistance")
local damage = script:GetAttribute("Damage")
local attackDistance = script:GetAttribute("AttackDistance")
local attackWait = script:GetAttribute("AttackWait")
local lastAttack = tick()



function findNearestPlayer()
	local playerList = Players:GetPlayers()

	local nearestPlayer = nil
	local distance = nil
	local direction = nil

	for _, player in pairs(playerList) do
		local character = player.Character
		if character then
			local distanceVector = (player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position - root.Position)
			if not nearestPlayer then
				nearestPlayer = player
				distance = distanceVector.Magnitude
				direction = distanceVector.Unit
			elseif distanceVector.Magnitude < distance then
				nearestPlayer = player
				distance = distanceVector.Magnitude
				direction = distanceVector.Unit
			end	
		end
	end

	return nearestPlayer, distance, direction
end

local soundSpamStop = false

wait(5)

RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
	local nearestPlayer, distance, direction = findNearestPlayer()
	if nearestPlayer then
		if distance <= targetDistance and distance >= stopDistance then
			if nearestPlayer.Character.Humanoid.Health > 0 then
				humanoid:Move(direction)
			end

		end
	end
end)
