I am trying to make an NPC follow the nearest player it can find, however it lags a lot and i dont want this to happen, please help, my code:

Distance = 250

    while wait() do
    for i,Model in pairs(game.Workspace:GetChildren()) do
        if Model.ClassName == "Model" and Model ~= script.Parent then
            Humanoid = Model:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
            if Humanoid ~= nil then
                if Humanoid.Health > 0 and Humanoid.Parent.Name ~= script.Parent.Name then
                    Torso = Humanoid.Parent:FindFirstChild("Torso")
                    if Torso ~= nil then
                        if (Torso.Position - script.Parent.Torso.Position).Magnitude < Distance then
                        script.Parent.Humanoid:MoveTo(Torso.Position)
                        end
                    end
                end
            end
        end
    end
end

When is this script meant to be triggered? palav 104 — 4y

This script is meant to go inside an NPC to make it follow a player, it triggers instantly and works but lags and I can't figure out why Lord_WitherAlt 206 — 4y

try this:

local Players = game.Players
local current_torso;
local NPC_torso = script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart

while wait() do
    for _, player in pairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
        local char = player.Character
            local root_part = char.HumanoidRootPart
            if not current_torso and char then 
                current_torso = root_part 
            elseif(char ~= current_torso.Parent and char) then
                local magnitude = (root_part.Position - NPC_torso.Position).Magnitude
                local old_magnitude = (current_torso.Position - NPC_torso.Position).Magnitude

                if(magnitude < old_magnitude) then
                    current_torso = root_part
                end

            end
            NPC_torso .Parent.Humanoid:MoveTo(current_torso.Position)
    wait();
    end
end
