Hi, when you were defining the variable "Players", you typed "Pkayers" instead of the word Players. fiddyfiddler 18 — 2y

Also you did GetPlayer and it's supposed to be GetPlayers MattVSNNL 620 — 2y

It seems like your new to scripting, here Is a pathfinding script, basically this script with follow the player but also uses pathfinding (Meaning It won't just go In a straight line chasing the player)
script:
01 | local NPC = script.Parent |
02 | local PathfindingService = game:GetService('PathfindingService') |
03 | local Players = game:GetService("Players") |
04 | local player |
05 |
06 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(client) |
07 | player = client |
08 | end) |
09 |
10 | repeat wait() until player ~= nil |
11 |
12 | local path = PathfindingService:CreatePath() |
13 |
14 | while wait() do |
15 | local path = PathfindingService:CreatePath() |

Hi there,
Before you even think about moving your NPC to the nearest player, you need to know more information in regardance to > PathFindingService, You need to know this elsewise it will not be able to detect the nearest player/object.
I recommend checking this article out, https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/class/PathfindingService
