Basic Mind Control Mechanic

Question

So I want to create a simple mind control mechanic for a game. The control is predetermined by a script and NavPoints, and I am currently trying to use a basic patrol behavior I found here in Unity documents. What I want to happen, is when the player comes in contact with the NPC, they press a button, and that NPC will travel to the stated navpoint, but I am not having much luck. Here is the script I am tinkering around with:

 using UnityEngine;
 using UnityEngine.AI;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class WorkerBehavior : MonoBehaviour {
 
     public Transform[] points;
     private int destPoint = 0;
     private NavMeshAgent agent;
 
 
     // Use this for initialization
     void Start () {
 
         agent = GetComponent<NavMeshAgent>();
 
         
         agent.autoBraking = false;
 
     }
 
     void GotoNextPoint()
     {
        
         if (points.Length == 0)
             return;
 
         
         agent.destination = points[destPoint].position;
 
         
         destPoint = (destPoint + 1) % points.Length;
     }
 
     
     void Update () {
         
     }
 
     void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
     {
         if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.KeypadEnter))
         {
             GotoNextPoint();
             
         }
     }
 }

I do understand there is some unnecessary code here. For instance, I have no real need to reset my nav points, as this NPC will only have one destination after it is activated. This patrol behavior may even be useless for what I am trying to do. Any advice would be helpful though, and I thank you in advance.

Never mind everyone, I figured it out. If anyone is interested however I'll leave my solution here:

 using UnityEngine;
 using UnityEngine.AI;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class WorkerBehavior : MonoBehaviour {
 
     public Transform[] points;
     private int destPoint = 0;
     private NavMeshAgent agent;
 
 
     
 
     // Use this for initialization
     void Start () {
 
         agent = GetComponent<NavMeshAgent>();
 
       
 
     }
 
     void GotoNextPoint()
     {
         // Returns if no points have been set up
         if (points.Length == 0)
             return;
 
         // Set the agent to go to the currently selected destination.
         agent.destination = points[destPoint].position;
 
         // Choose the next point in the array as the destination,
         // cycling to the start if necessary.
         destPoint = (destPoint + 1) % points.Length;
     }
 
     // Update is called once per frame
     void Update () {
         
     }
 
     void OnTriggerStay(Collider other)
     {
         Debug.Log("Entered");
 
         if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Return))
         {
 
             Debug.Log("Return pressed");
             GotoNextPoint();
 
         }
     }

 }

I made some adjustments off of the script I found here: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/nav-AgentPatrol.html

This script added to a gameobject, with a collider, will cause the gameobject to move toward a navpoint, when you come in contact with it and press return.
