is path for first function is broken?

Hello! I'm tried to make a patrol waypoints, but Idk why do function doesn't wanna do paths, writting: Argument 2 missing or nil, but if I will do "InkPortals.Position" Then I will get another error messange: Workspace.InkRobloxian.AI:10: attempt to index nil with 'Position', how do I fix this?

		for _, waypoint in ipairs(waypoints) do
			myHuman:MoveTo(waypoint.Position)
			local timeOut = myHuman.MoveToFinished:Wait(1)
			if not timeOut then
				print("Got stuck")
