  1. What do you want to achieve? a npc that always move to a random part that all the time moves to a random part inside the folder MoveParts

  2. What is the issue?

local Children = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("EasterEggs"):WaitForChild("PersonajeSecreto"):WaitForChild("MoveParts")

for i, v in pairs(Children) do
	if i == math.random(1, #Children) then
		script.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):MoveTo(v.Position)
	end
end
  1. What solutions have you tried so far? contact a friend develeoper and he cant solve it

Children in this case needs to be a table of parts

You are currently just getting “MoveParts” when you need to get “MoveParts” children

local Children = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("EasterEggs"):WaitForChild("PersonajeSecreto"):WaitForChild("MoveParts"):GetChildren()

You’re forgetting to get the children via :GetChildren() at the end of the first line, but this is not really a good way to do random movement as there can be a chance that it moves to multiple parts, and it does it once, you can probably have an infinite while loop to move the npc constantly by moving them to a random part and waiting till they’re finished.

Something like this should work for what you need, if you want it to wait a few seconds after movement, just add a wait(n) after MoveToFinished where n is the time to wait

local Children = workspace:WaitForChild("EasterEggs"):WaitForChild("PersonajeSecreto"):WaitForChild("MoveParts"):GetChildren()

local humanoid = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

while true do
	local randPart = Children[math.random(#Children)]
	humanoid:MoveTo(randPart)
	humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait()
end

Wait I realised that it takes in a position, I was giving it the part, my bad, try this

local Children = workspace:WaitForChild("EasterEggs"):WaitForChild("PersonajeSecreto"):WaitForChild("MoveParts"):GetChildren()

local humanoid = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

while true do
	local randPart = Children[math.random(#Children)]
	humanoid:MoveTo(randPart.Position)
	humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait()
end

thanks all the persons for the feedback

What you should do is put this script inside a loop, only leaving the variable outside:

local Children = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("EasterEggs"):WaitForChild("PersonajeSecreto"):WaitForChild("MoveParts")

while wait() do
    for i, v in pairs(Children) do
	    if i == math.random(1, #Children) then
	    	script.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):MoveTo(v.Position)
	    end
    end
end

And finally detect when the movement of the NPC ends to be executed again using the MoveToFinished: Wait, this is how the script would look:

local Children = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("EasterEggs"):WaitForChild("PersonajeSecreto"):WaitForChild("MoveParts"):GetChildren()

while wait() do
    for i, v in pairs(Children) do
        if i == math.random(1, #Children) then
            script.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):MoveTo(v.Position)
            script.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid").MoveToFinished:Wait()
        end
    end
end```
