need help optimizing an ai script

[inland imp]

im not sure if this is the cause, but this ai script (or similar iterations of it) belongs to about 21 ish npcs in my game (all npcs get cloned from the replicatedstorage into workspace cause they have their own spawnpads), and i believe it could be the cause of ping increases
