Hi my names Pixeluted and I want do NPC if player near then NPC run away but I want do Position But I got error

while wait() do
	local Players = game.Players:GetChildren()
	for _,player in pairs(Players) do
		local PlayerCharacter = workspace:FindFirstChild(player.Name)
		if PlayerCharacter then
			if (PlayerCharacter.HumanoidRootPart.Position - script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude <= 15 then
				local PositionMove = Vector3.new(PlayerCharacter.HumanoidRootPart.Position.X,PlayerCharacter.HumanoidRootPart.Position.Y,PlayerCharacter.HumanoidRootPart.Position.Z - Vector3.new(0,0,-6))
				print(PositionMove)
	
				
			end
		else
			print("Character Dont Founded")
		end
	end
end

Error Here
14:13:33.073 - Workspace.Dummy.Script:7: bad argument #1 to ‘?’ (Vector3 expected, got number)

14:13:33.074 - Stack Begin

14:13:33.074 - Script ‘Workspace.Dummy.Script’, Line 7

Change PositionMove to PlayerCharacter.HumanoidRootPart.Position - Vector3.new(0,0,6)

( That will teleport not make them run away )
Your mistake was not knowing that X,Y,Z are all numbers when extracted from a Vector3?

print(type(Vector3.new(0,0,1).Z))  -- will print number

Change this line:

local PositionMove = Vector3.new(PlayerCharacter.HumanoidRootPart.Position.X,PlayerCharacter.HumanoidRootPart.Position.Y,PlayerCharacter.HumanoidRootPart.Position.Z - Vector3.new(0,0,-6))

to this:

local PositionMove = PlayerCharacter.HumanoidRootPat.Position - Vector3.new(0,0,-6)

Also, for future reference, please read the error more carefully to see that you gave it the wrong kind of value / data type (Z(number) - Vector when expected a number)
Also also, player.Character should be used instead.
I really don’t see the point in
Vector3.new(LONGX, LONGY, LONGZ-Vecto3…) anyway, just use
pos - Vector3.new(0,0,6) or something
Also try to use variables more so it is easier to read
