Agent stops at every waypoint

Unity Engine

So, i have a script where the player object follows a certain path, this is the script:

using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine;

public class PlayerMover : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float movingSpeed = 2.0f;
    public float minWaypointDistance = 0.1f;
    public Transform[] waypoints;

    private NavMeshAgent nav;
    private int curWaypoint = 0;
    private int maxWaypoint;

    private void Awake()
    {
        nav = GetComponent<NavMeshAgent>();
        maxWaypoint = waypoints.Length - 1;
        nav.speed = movingSpeed;
    }

    private void Update() //Every frame let it patrol
    {
        if (EnableDriving == true)
        {
            Patrolling();
        }
    }

    public void Patrolling()
    {
        //Temp positions
        Vector3 tempLocalPosition;
        Vector3 tempWaypointPosition;

        tempLocalPosition = transform.position;
        tempLocalPosition.y = -1.5f;

        tempWaypointPosition = waypoints[curWaypoint].position;
        tempWaypointPosition.y = -1.5f;

        if (Vector3.Distance(tempLocalPosition, tempWaypointPosition) <= minWaypointDistance)
        {
            if (curWaypoint == maxWaypoint) //When waypoint is max waypoint, put it on 0 again.
            {
                 EnableDriving = false;
            }
            else //If not last, let it move to next waypoint
            {
                curWaypoint++;
            }
        }
        nav.SetDestination(waypoints[curWaypoint].position);
    }
}

But, every time it reachs a different waypoint, he stops, turns to the other waypoint, and starts driving, how would you make it he either keeps driving or atleast doesnt completly stop?

Edit: Forgot to say, i tried auto breaking off, but then if he makes a to sharp turn, he keeps spinning around

I had a similar issue. My agents has a float called proximity, which could be any number. I then do a distance check between a navmeshagent and the next way point; if the distance is less than the proximity, change the navmeshagent’s destination.

Basically change to the next waypoint before the the agent reaches the waypoint

Hey, Thanks for the answer! In the end i did a combination of stopping distance and the proximity it had to be on the waypoint, not the perfect solution but it does the job.
