I got an error
Players.uknown_personPRO.PlayerGui.TowerPlacementGui.Frame.Main:23: attempt to index nil with ‘Position’
Im trying to make the Humanoid root part go to the plrs mouse

Here is my code
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer

for i, frames in pairs(script.Parent:GetChildren()) do
if frames:IsA(“ImageLabel”) and frames:FindFirstChild(“Place”) then
frames:FindFirstChild(“Place”).MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
if not plr[frames.Name].Value ~= “Empty” then
if script.Placing.Value ~= nil then
local mouse = plr:GetMouse()
script.Placing.Value = frames
spawn(function()
local t = false
while script.Placing.Value ~= nil do
wait()
if t == false then
local tower = game.ReplicatedStorage.Towers:FindFirstChild(plr[frames.Name].Value)
if tower then
tower.Name = plr.Name…plr[frames.Name].Value
tower:Clone().Parent = game.Workspace
end
end
if game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(plr.Name…plr[frames.Name].Value) then
local part = mouse.Target
game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(plr.Name…plr[frames.Name].Value).HumanoidRootPart:FindFirstChild(“BodyPosition”).Position = Vector3.new(mouse.Hit.p.X, part.Position.Y, mouse.Hit.p.Z)
end
end
end)
end
elseif script.Placing.Value ~= nil and script.Placing.Value == frames then
script.Placing.Value = nil
end
end)

	frames:WaitForChild("Name").Text = plr[frames.Name].Value
	
	plr[frames.Name].Changed:Connect(function()
		frames:WaitForChild("Name").Text = plr[frames.Name].Value
	end)
	
end

end

The error states that position is not a property of nil meaning that the instance before position doesn’t exist.

#3

Try changing .HumanoidRootPart:FindFirstChild(“BodyPosition”).Position = Vector3.new(mouse.Hit.p.X, part.Position.Y, mouse.Hit.p.Z) to just

.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(mouse.Hit.p)

Let me know if that works

#4

When i delete :FindFirstChild(“BodyPosition”) It brings up the same error

#5

It works kida but the model virbites to much and it moves towerd the player then telports back some how

#6

Is there an upper limit as to how far the player can teleport?

#7

What do you mean by upper limit?

#8

If the mouse is, say, pointed at the very end of the map, will it still teleport there or is there a limit as to how far the player can teleport? That being said, try this:

#9

It will go there there is no limit to how far you can move the character.

#10

Okay then try this:

.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = CFrame.new((mouse.Hit.p+Vector3.new(0,2,0)))

Or is the player still vibrating?
Edit: Sorry I just realized I copy and pasted my whole code, I just meant to give you what’s above, my bad

#11

Its not vibrating any more but it goes up and down now

#12

Can you send me a gif of what you mean? Like is it moving really quick?

#13

#14

I see, is it possible that there is a script within the cloned instance that is affecting it’s movement?

#15

What do you mean by cloned instance in the script?

#16

Is it possible that a script is making the little green guy
image
move up and down? What scripts does it have, if any?

#17

The green guy is a module from a differt folder in the replicated folder. Well there are no scripts in him.

#18

That’s weird then, I’m not sure what could be causing it to move like that. Does it have an odd hitbox?

#19

I dont think so. Its just a normel character that’s size is much smaller.

#20

That might be the problem then. Can you get me the full height of the character (zombie guy)?
