im trying to make my npc walk backwards and also face the character. here’s my problem; these 2 lines work great seperately but won’t work together due to the cframe lookat being continuously updated i think.

				catHRP.CFrame = lookatCF
				cat_humanoid:MoveTo(catHRP.Position + direction * distToMoveBack)

i appreciate any help ty!!

code:

		local DISTANCE = 15
		local distToMoveBack = -2
		local plrHum:Humanoid = c:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
		local hrp = c:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
		local function update()
			local mag = (hrp.Position - catHRP.Position).Magnitude
			local direction = (hrp.Position - catHRP.Position).Unit
			local angleinRads = math.atan2(direction.Z, direction.X)
			if mag < DISTANCE then
				local targetpos = Vector3.new(hrp.Position.X, catHRP.Position.Y, hrp.Position.Z)
				local lookatCF = CFrame.lookAt(catHRP.Position, targetpos)
				catHRP.CFrame = lookatCF
				cat_humanoid:MoveTo(catHRP.Position + direction * distToMoveBack)
				if not playing then
					runAnimTrack:Play()
					playing = true
				end
			else
				runAnimTrack:Stop()
				playing = false
			end
		end
		connection = rs.Stepped:Connect(update)
