lets say i mad a Enemy that always walks towards your player, ill do this

while true do
Enemy:MoveTo(myplayer.Position)
wait()
end

but what if there was 100 enemies? would i do this?

while true do
     for i,enemy in pairs(enemies) do
          enemy:MoveTo(myplayer.Position)
          wait()
     end
end

would that be the best way to do it? will it cause lag? maybe coroutines?

Both of those examples will freeze your computer. You need some

wait()

The second option works (in theory). You just need some waits :wink:

Yeah, the code looks fine to me. You can add however long of a wait you want (wait() might be too fast, maybe wait(2)). I suggest just testing out, and seeing what works. I don’t see much of a problem with your code otherwise.
