Boss AI Broken?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m trying to make a boss fight, but it keeps throwing me this error: Workspace.???.Script:4: attempt to index nil with 'HumanoidRootPart'
Code:

while true do
	wait(0.1)
	for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
		if math.floor((v.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position-game.Workspace["???"].HumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude) <= 12 then
			script.Parent.Humanoid:MoveTo(v.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position)
		end
		if math.floor((v.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position-game.Workspace["???"].HumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude) == 2 or math.floor((v.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position-script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude) == 1 then
		script.Play.Disabled = false
		end
	end
end

add a :WaitForChild , like so v.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Position? (waitforchild is better than using . if you aren’t sure it exists)

are you sure that “???” even exists, your trying to waitforchild from something that dosen’t exist is what the error is saying.

The debugger is telling you that v.Character is not existent.

You should also be using

game.Players:GetPlayers()

Your code should look like this:

while true do
	wait(0.1)
	for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
        local character = v.Character
        
        if character then
		    if math.floor((character.HumanoidRootPart.Position-game.Workspace["???"].HumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude) <= 12 then
			    script.Parent.Humanoid:MoveTo(character.HumanoidRootPart.Position)
		    end
		    if math.floor((character.HumanoidRootPart.Position-game.Workspace["???"].HumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude) == 2 or math.floor((character.HumanoidRootPart.Position-script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude) == 1 then
		        script.Play.Disabled = false
		    end
	    end
    end
end
