Why is my pathfinding script not working

I am doing pathfinding for my NPCs based on a table of destinations that can vary in the amount of destinations.

It doesn’t throw any error but the NPC does not walk to any of the destinations.

local function GetPath(NPC, destination) --Creates the path for the guard to follow
	local path = Pathfinding:CreatePath()   
	if typeof(destination) == Vector3 then
		path:ComputeAsync(NPC.HumanoidRootPart.Position,destination)
	else
		path:ComputeAsync(NPC.HumanoidRootPart.Position,destination.Position)
	end
	return path
end

local function WalkToWaypoints(NPC, tableWaypoints) --Walks to the waypoints
	for i,v in pairs(tableWaypoints) do
		NPC.Humanoid:MoveTo(v.Position)
		if v.Action == Enum.PathWaypointAction.Jump then
			NPC.Humanoid.Jump = true
		end
		NPC.Humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait()
	end
end

local function WalkTo(NPC, destination, WTable) --All of the above
	local path = GetPath(NPC, destination.Position)
	if path.Status == Enum.PathStatus.Success then
		WalkToWaypoints(path:GetWaypoints())
		task.wait(5)
		WalkTo(NPC,WTable[math.random(1,#WTable)],WTable)
	else
		WalkTo(NPC,WTable[math.random(1,#WTable)],WTable)
	end
end

--//Setup Function\\--

local function SetupAI(NPC) --Setups the AI and the function loop
	local NeckPosition = NPC.Torso.Neck.C0 --Saves the position of the neck
	CollectionService:AddTag(NPC, NPC.Humanoid.GuardType.Value)
	WalkTo(NPC,BankWaypoints[math.random(1,#BankWaypoints)],BankWaypoints)
	RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
		NPCFov(Character,NPC,NeckPosition)
	end)
end

I think you meant to use “Vector3” with the strings.
Also, Did you call the SetupAI function?

Yes the setup ai always gets called.
The Vector3 thing is to check if the destination is a vector3 or an instance, in which case it will do .Position to get the vector3
