I’m trying to make it so that an npc can’t collide with the player or any other npcs, how would I go about this with the most efficient method?

You could make every part of them CanCollide false? Would solve the issue. Another method is Collision Groups but the former is easier.

Tried something like this and it didn’t work :confused: Is there something wrong with this?

		for _, part in pairs(playermodel:GetDescendants()) do
			if part:IsA("Part") or part:IsA("BasePart") then
				part.CanCollide = false
			end
		end

Then I suggest using PhysicsService.

In which you’ll read about Collision Groups.
Handy article about Collision Filtering.

Okay, I’ve looked into it but I’m not quite sure how to get the n.pc to be part of the collision group correctly. I keep getting errors saying that parameter of SetPartCollisionGroup needs to be a BasePart.

You need to create a CollisionGroup with :CreateCollisionGroup, and then add every Part/BasePart of your NPC to it using :SetPartCollisionGroup.

There’s an example provided on Collision Filtering.
