I am creating a game, and I am fairly new to pathfinding and animating, but I wanna combine the two to make an NPC walk to different points, such as your character, and a part.

Easiest way would be to have a script construe the best path to his destination, and use the intrinsic :MoveTo() ability of the Humanoid to get it to walk there.

How about the animations? The pathfinding? I know pathfinding somewhat good, but not good enough to do that.

Check this out, it explains more than I could: http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Pathfinding basically there's a whole Pathfinding service.

Animations would be default humanoid walking animations unless you scripted otherwise.

Usually when I have an NPC, there are no idle animations. Do the default animations have to be scripted?
