Problem with the:Moveto function

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I am very confused with what is the error of this code.
I tried several changes but the model still stands in place.

local Badguy = script.Parent
local maxdistance = 15
local BestDistance = 15
local targeted = nil
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

i = true
local function FindNearestTarget()
for i, target in ipairs(workspace:GetChildren()) do

	local pro = false
	local player = nil
	if target:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then

		player = Players:FindFirstChild(target.name)
		if player then
	
			local distance = (target.PrimaryPart.Position - Badguy.PrimaryPart.Position).Magnitude
			if distance < BestDistance and distance < maxdistance then

				targeted = target

				BestDistance = distance
			end
		end
	end
	end
	return targeted

end
while true do
	local target = FindNearestTarget()
	if target then
		print(target)
		if target:FindFirstChild("PrimaryPart") then
			print(target:FindFirstChild("PrimaryPart"))
			local targetPosition = target.PrimaryPart
			Badguy.Humanoid:MoveTo(targetPosition.Position, target)
		end
	end
	task.wait(1)
end

Ok SO i found your issue, you are trying to find PrimaryPart inside the Character which doesn’t exist and is only a Property of the Model that is the character

#3

Is it anchored? Is there any errors? Could we get the character model? Your post is very vague.

#4

it isn’t anchored, no errors were present

#5

Does it have its primary part set, like goa7 said?

#6

The model’s primary part is the humanoidrootpart

Yep i was correct, try this:

local Badguy = script.Parent
local maxdistance = 15
local BestDistance = 15
local targeted = nil
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")

i = true
local function FindNearestTarget()
	for i, target in ipairs(workspace:GetChildren()) do

		local pro = false
		local player = nil
		if target:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then

			player = Players:FindFirstChild(target.name)
			if player then

				local distance = (Badguy.PrimaryPart.Position- target.PrimaryPart.Position).Magnitude
				if distance < BestDistance and distance < maxdistance then

					targeted = target

					BestDistance = distance
				end
			end
		end
	end
	return targeted

end
while true do
	RunService.Heartbeat:Wait()
	local target = FindNearestTarget()
	if target then
		print(target)
		if target.PrimaryPart ~= nil then
			print(target.PrimaryPart)
			local targetPosition = target.PrimaryPart
			Badguy.Humanoid:MoveTo(targetPosition.Position)
		end
	end

end
Badguy.HumanoidRootPart:SetNetworkOwner(nil)

Could you explain this code if you won’t mind so I won’t make errors like this in the future?

Alright, could we get the character model?

Also, try doing task.wait() instead of task.wait(1). I believe :MoveTo() only moves in small increments, unless I’m thinking of something else.

I Explained it here:

Swap out Heartbeat with Stepped and thx for 70th Solution
