What does this mean?
So I made a script to move a part to a different place, but it comes up with "attempt to call a nil value". What does this mean and where does it come from???
function onClick(mouse)
local character = game.Workspace.Model.Stage1.L
if character and character:findFirstChild("Humanoid") then
local b = Instance.new("BodyPosition")
b.position = Vector3.new(43.65, 5.2, 57.4)
b.maxForce = Vector3.new(500000000, 500000000, 500000000)
b.Parent = character.L
wait(3)
b.Parent = nil
end
end
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(onClicked)

It's an annoying bug that this error doesn't tell you where it's coming from.
However, in this case, Script Analysis will warn you of this -- use Script Analysis! Warnings aren't there to be annoying!
You are giving onClicked to MouseClick:connect. But onClicked was never defined, so it is nil.
You meant to write onClick.
Use Script Analysis! Blue underlines mean there is a problem!
As Decemus said, you should use .Position instead of .position and .MaxForce instead of .maxForce. These properties were recently "fixed" to have the correct capitalization available.
Also, b:Destroy() is recommended over b.Parent = nil.
