Simple pathfinding script does not work: no errors in output, and prints all

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but i’ve only actually started to use pathfinding for npcs. However, the code i wrote is almost identical to the developer hub’s sample code. Here is is:

local npc = workspace.npc
local PathfindingService = game:GetService("PathfindingService")
local humanoid = npc.Humanoid
local destination = workspace.Part.Position
local path = PathfindingService:CreatePath()
local waypoints

path:ComputeAsync(npc.HumanoidRootPart.Position, destination)

waypoints = path:GetWaypoints()

for _, way_points in pairs(waypoints) do
	local part = Instance.new("Part")
	part.Shape = "Ball"
	part.Material = "Neon" -- copied from devhub cuz i was lazy
	part.Size = Vector3.new(0.6, 0.6, 0.6)
	part.Position = way_points.Position
	part.Anchored = true
	part.CanCollide = false
	part.Parent = game.Workspace
	wait(10)
	humanoid:MoveTo(way_points.Position)
	humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait()
	print("finished!")
end

The character does not move yet it prints “finished” in the output. Is this an issue outside of the script? The character does not move at all.

Please make sure the HumanoidRootPart is not anchored

HumanoidRootPart is not anchored.

Why is there a wait(10) ? If I copy your code and remove that part, it works perfectly fine.

Works, a stupid error on my part.

The npc was more glitchier then usual so i might have to make a different pathfinding ai walking. thanks again.
