i want to character follow the player that was set in object value but when im writing local with object value it just says "attempt to index nil with FindFirstChild "

local NPC = script.Parent
while true do
	local player = script.Parent.Parent.Creator.Value
	NPC.Humanoid:MoveTo(player:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart").Position)
	local stopped 
	NPC.Humanoid.MoveToFinished:Connect(function()
		stopped = true
	end)
	repeat 
		local distance = (NPC:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Position-player:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart").Position).Magnitude
		if distance < 10 then
			NPC.Humanoid:MoveTo((NPC.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame*CFrame.new(5,0,0)).p)
			break
		end
		wait()
	until stopped == true
	wait(0.5)
end

If the value is nil just return, can’t help further without seeing the script that sets the ObjectValue’s value.

#3 
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild ("Humanoid") then
	    local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
		if db == true then
			db = false
			local BTTCharacters = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").BTTCharacters:Clone()
			BTTCharacters.Parent = player.Character
			BTTCharacters.Creator.Value = player.Character
			task.wait(0.5)
			BTTCharacters:PivotTo(player.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame)
			wait(1)
			db = true
		end
	end
end)

that’s the script that sets object value

I gave you a possible answer approximately 202,980 seconds ago. Also don’t even bother trying to press out an answer with that cheesy ahh sentence, it’s just pathetic.
