FindNearestPlayer is not a valid member of Players "Players". can somebody help?
Me again lol. So i'm trying to make this game where an npc follows the player but i'm having trouble getting the NPC to find the player and go towards it. No matter what i do the error on title always appears and i can't seem to find the problem. I'd really appreciate some help. Here's the code. Thanks in advance. By the way, it redirects to line 5.
local NPC = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("Builder Dude")
local humanoid = NPC:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
while true do
local nearestPlayer = game.Players:FindNearestPlayer(NPC.HumanoidRootPart.Position)
if nearestPlayer then
humanoid:MoveTo(nearestPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame)
end
wait(1)
end

Players does not have a FindNearestPlayer method, you will have to code such a function yourself
P.S Humanoid:MoveTo accepts a Vector3, you have supplied it nearestPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame
example script
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local function GetNearestPlayer()
local ClosestPlayerCharacter
local ClosestPlayerMagnitude = math.huge --This serves as the max range the NPC can find a target
for _,Player in Players:GetPlayers() do
local PlayerCharacter = Player.Character
local PlayerHumanoidRootPart
if PlayerCharacter then
PlayerHumanoidRootPart = PlayerCharacter:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
if not PlayerHumanoidRootPart then
continue
end
else
continue
end
local PlayerMagnitude = (NPC.HumanoidRootPart.Position - PlayerHumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude
if PlayerMagnitude < ClosestPlayerMagnitude then
ClosestPlayerMagnitude = PlayerMagnitude
ClosestPlayerCharacter = PlayerCharacter
end
end
return ClosestPlayerCharacter
end
