Trying to use ":GetChildren()" on a model with a humanoid, getting error?

Asked 149 views1 answers

I'm trying to change a enemy npc's position when the time is at 21 hours (which i've done), I used a for loop, and when it gets to humanoid, it errors out. Can someone come to my aid with some help? I will include the code below:

local lighting = game.Lighting
local monster = workspace.Monster
local monsterSpawn = workspace.monsterSpawn.Position

while true do
	lighting:SetMinutesAfterMidnight(lighting:GetMinutesAfterMidnight() + 0.75) -- dont touch (well if u want u can)
	wait(0.001) -- change to whatever you want
	if lighting.ClockTime >= 21 then
		local parts = monster:GetChildren()
		for i, v in pairs(parts) do
			v.Position = Vector3.new(monsterSpawn.X, monsterSpawn.Y, monsterSpawn.Z)
		end
	end
end

Thanks to anyone who helps :)

Not all children are parts. Use if v:IsA("BasePart") then

That is because the Humanoid doesn't have a position. It's not a physical part of the player, but it holds properties such as the character's health. Instead of relocating all of the parts, why don't you just relocate the HumanoidRootPart? When you move the HumanoidRootPart, the rest of the body comes with it. Do this instead:

local lighting = game.Lighting
local monster = workspace.Monster
local monsterSpawn = workspace.monsterSpawn.Position

while true do
	lighting:SetMinutesAfterMidnight(lighting:GetMinutesAfterMidnight() + 0.75) -- dont touch (well if u want u can)
	wait(0.001) -- change to whatever you want
	if lighting.ClockTime >= 21 then
	monster.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(monsterSpawn.X, monsterSpawn.Y, monsterSpawn.Z)
        end
    end
end
