I know how to use pathfinding to generate a path for the NPC to follow but i haven't found any way to make the NPC follow a specific path i built.

This is the script

local myRoot = script.Parent:WaitForChild('HumanoidRootPart')
local myHum = script.Parent:WaitForChild('Humanoid')
local part = game.Workspace.Path

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


if path.Status == Enum.PathStatus.Success then
	for i,v in pairs(points) do
		myHum:MoveTo(v.Position)
		myHum.MoveToFinished:wait()
		
		if v.Action == Enum.PathWaypointAction.Jump then
			myHum.Jump = true
		end
	end
end

Here's the path that i want my NPC to walk on but as you can see, it just finds the shortest route rather than follow the path. So i wonder if there's a way to manually generate the waypoints and create the path using scripts.

I'm pretty sure you should create more parts in the workspace and make the npc go from one part to another, and not just one part in the beginning and in the end.

That does seem like it could work, ima test it out thanks!

Yeah it works, i simply made 2 shorter checkpoints and created a path to each one of them.
