Problems with NPC following me

[NoisyDawid123456 (NoisyDev)]

1. What do you want to achieve? i want the NPC follow me smoothly.

2. What is the issue? i am trying to make the NPC follow me, and he does follow me, but he goes into my oldest position once i turn. When i turn left/right, he starts to stutter walk to me and he won’t get to me (im trying to make a monster that kills you at a close range)

3. What solutions have you tried so far? i tried looking for the solutions on the Developer hub, but i found nothing. I also tried SetNetworkOwner(nil) but it didn’t work.

here is the AI script for the npc:

local NPC = script.Parent
local hum = NPC.Humanoid

NPC.HumanoidRootPart:SetNetworkOwner(nil)

local PathFindingService = game:GetService("PathfindingService")

local function findTarget()
	local players = game.Players:GetPlayers()
	local maxDistance = 40
	local nearestTarget
	
	for index, player in pairs(players) do
		if player.Character then
			local target = player.Character
			local distance = (NPC.HumanoidRootPart.Position - target.HumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude
			
			if distance < maxDistance then
				nearestTarget = target
				maxDistance = distance
			end
		end
	end
	
	return nearestTarget
end

local function getPath(destination)
	local pathParams = {
		["AgentHeight"] = 8,
		["AgentRadius"] = 5.1,
		["AgentCanJump"] = false,
		["AgentCanClimb"] = false
	}
	
	local path = PathFindingService:CreatePath(pathParams)
	
	path:ComputeAsync(NPC.HumanoidRootPart.Position, destination.Position)
	
	return path
end

local function Jumpscare(target)
	local NPCJSC = workspace.ShadeJSC
	
	local attackAnim1 = hum:LoadAnimation(workspace.ShadeJSC.Attack1)
	local oldPosition = NPC.HumanoidRootPart.Position
	local newPosition = workspace.JSCPos.Position
	
	NPCJSC.HumanoidRootPart.Position = oldPosition
	oldPosition = newPosition
	
	attackAnim1:Play()
	attackAnim1.Stopped:Wait()
	
	target.Humanoid.Health = 0	
	
	oldPosition = NPCJSC.HumanoidRootPart.Position
	NPCJSC.HumanoidRootPart.Position = newPosition
	
	hum.WalkSpeed = 8
	
end

local function attack(target)
	local distance = (NPC.HumanoidRootPart.Position - target.HumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude
	
	if distance > 8 then
		hum.WalkSpeed = 12
		hum:MoveTo(target.HumanoidRootPart.Position)
	else
		Jumpscare(target)
	end
end

local function walkTo(destination)
	local path = getPath(destination)
	
	if path.Status == Enum.PathStatus.Success then
		for index, waypoint in pairs(path:GetWaypoints()) do
			local target = findTarget()

			if target and target.Humanoid.Health > 0 then
				print(target.Name)
				attack(target)
				break
			else	
				print("Moving to", waypoint.Position)
				hum:MoveTo(waypoint.Position)
				hum.MoveToFinished:Wait()
			end	
		end
	else 
		hum:MoveTo(destination.Position - (NPC.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector * 10))
	end	
end

local function patrol()
	local waypoints = workspace.Waypoints:GetChildren()
	local randomNum = math.random(1, # waypoints)
	
	walkTo(waypoints[randomNum])
end

while wait(0.85) do
	patrol()
end

Hey, i found it! It was the patrol function which caused all of this, it had wait time of 0.85 seconds, setting it to simple wait() fixed it because i had all other functions connected to each other, with the attack function where it follows the player.
