Asked by

Now i know it is probably obvious the answer and all but i can't for the life of me figure it out . . . So, A little help please?

while wait(5) do
    if  script.Parent.NumZom.Value ~= 4 then
        local sp = script.Parent.Parent.Spawn:GetChildren()
        local Zom = Game.ReplicatedStorage.Zombie
        local Num = script.Parent.NumZom
        Num.Value = Num.Value + 1 
        local Zombie = Zom:Clone()
        Zombie.Parent = workspace
        Zombie:MoveTo(math.random(#sp.Position)) 

    end
end

outpost:

02:35:57.306 - Workspace.MAIN.Script:35: attempt to get length of field 'Position' (a nil value) 02:35:57.307 - Stack Begin 02:35:57.307 - Script 'Workspace.MAIN.Script', Line 35 02:35:57.308 - Stack End

I don't think you can use math.random for MoveTo(), I would try using like a math.random 1-10 or something, and give each value a spawn position, and depending on the number it roles, that's where it spawns. (But I am by no means an expert on math.random() Just giving my thoughts Xoqex 75 — 9y

You're right. It really is some obvious answer. math.random needs a number as first argument when used for a table. I'll fix the script for you. Also, you wrote sp.Position, but sp is a table, you need to write .Position AFTER the math.random.
