Npc not catching up to me

[exotic urchin]

I want the NPC to catch up to me when pathfinding, but it's not working, or is it better to just increase the attack range in the module script?
Part of the module script:
Zombie = {
MaxHealth = 30,
WalkSpeed = 100,
JumpPower = 50,
AttackDamage = 10,
AttackCooldown = 3,
--KnockBackForce = 100,
wanderDistance = 15,
wanderCooldown = {2,5}, -- While wandering, walk in a random direction every _ to _ seconds
Range = 100,
AttackRange = 4,

    TimeBeforeDespawn = 150, --2.5 minutes
    RespawnCooldown = 150, -- 2.5 minutes

    DEBUGMODE = true,

    Costs = {
        Water = math.huge ,
        Neon = math.huge,
        Plastic = 1
    }

The file is the pathfinding script

try removing hum.MoveToFinished:Wait()

see if that works

Just do when the player is close to the creature it shouldn't followthe waypoints instead ignore the waypoints and just move the humanoid to the closest player

[exotic urchin]

local targetRoot = target.Character and target.Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
if targetRoot then
local distance = (HRP.Position - targetRoot.Position).Magnitude
if distance <= attackRange + 10 then
hum:MoveTo(targetRoot.Position)
break
end
end

like this?

You can make it so it moves towards the position that your character is going to be in a specific amount of time for example 0.5 seconds so it compensates like this:

local targetPosition = HumanoidRootPart.Position + HumanoidRootPart.AssemblyLinearVelocity * 0.5

It’s literally a basic part of making proper chasing npc’s
