I’m making a wandering NPC but there movement is choppy. I cant seem to fix it. Hoping you can tell me what’s wrong.

local myHuman = script.Parent:WaitForChild(“Humanoid”)
local myRoot = script.Parent:WaitForChild(“HumanoidRootPart”)
local head = script.Parent:WaitForChild(“Head”)
local lowerTorso = script.Parent:WaitForChild(“Torso”)

local clone = script.Parent:Clone()

function walkRandomly()
local xRand = math.random(-50,50)
local zRand = math.random(-50,50)
local goal = myRoot.Position + Vector3.new(xRand,0,zRand)

local path = game:GetService("PathfindingService"):CreatePath()
path:ComputeAsync(myRoot.Position, goal)
local waypoints = path:GetWaypoints()

if path.Status == Enum.PathStatus.Success then
	for _, waypoint in ipairs(waypoints) do
		if waypoint.Action == Enum.PathWaypointAction.Jump then
			myHuman.Jump = true
		end
		myHuman:MoveTo(waypoint.Position)
		local timeOut = myHuman.MoveToFinished:Wait(1)
		if not timeOut then
			print("Got stuck")
			myHuman.Jump = true
			walkRandomly()
		end
	end
else
	print("Path failed")
	wait(1)
	walkRandomly()
end

end

function main()
walkRandomly()
end

while wait(5) do
main()
end

Roblox can’t keep up with your character walking, try to use WalkTo() when the has the player in his view
