local pfs = game:GetService("PathfindingService")
local path = pfs:CreatePath()
path:ComputeAsync(v.HumanoidRootPart.Position, plrhrp)
local waypoints = path:GetWaypoints()
if waypoints[#waypoints].Position ~= plrhrp then

for some reason position is index nil (this isnt full script)
i cant find any solution

Define plrHRP. Also what is nil? The target hrp?

game.Players.GreySkiesofSpace.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
	local String = msg
	local split = string.split(String, " ")
	if split[1] == "follow" then
		while wait() do
			if split[2] == "me" then split[2] = "GreySkiesofSpace" end
			if game.Players:FindFirstChild(split[2]).Character.HumanoidRootPart ~= nil then
				local plrhrp = game.Players:FindFirstChild(split[2]).Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position

also im pretty sure its not the plrhrp part because the move to works and i use the plrhrp in the computeasync function

Ahaha! Don’t set the position there. Update it everytime. Like


path:ComputeAsync(v.HumanoidRootPart.Position, plrhrp.Position)

It’s a loop right?

if waypoints[#waypoints].Position ~= plrhrp then 
							path = pfs:CreatePath()
							path:ComputeAsync(v.HumanoidRootPart.Position, plrhrp)
							waypoints = path:GetWaypoints()
						end

this is the full part of the statement
it might be the cause

also i tried that but it unreliable and it hardly updates the loop xd probably because i dont use .movetofinished because it makes the npcs pathfind one at a time

#13

Mb. Im rushing. The best I can guess is that the position isn’t updating do:


local plrhrp = game.Players:FindFirstChild(split[2]).Character.HumanoidRootPart

``
Also what are you trying to do?

I’m sorry for asking again but what is nil what object? I think the problem is the object is nil.
