Problem with my Zombie Follow code?

Asked 191 views1 answers

I get an error when 2 people are in the same server. I get the error "Workspace.Zombie.Follow:6: attempt to index global 'Torso' (a nil value)". I think I understand why, but I don't know how to fix it. Any help?

while wait() do
	local Humanoid = script.Parent.Humanoid
	for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
		Torso = v.Character:WaitForChild("Torso")
	end
	Humanoid:MoveTo(Torso.Position)
end

The script just moves the zombie to the players torso. It's located in the "Zombie" model in workspace.

To prevent the Zombie from changing targets why not check to see which Character is more closer to the Zombie?

local PreviousDistance = 100--Max Distance
local Target
while wait() do
    local Humanoid = script.Parent
 for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
    	local Torso = Torso = v.Character:FindFirstChild("Torso")
	if Torso then 
	local Distance = ( v.Character.Torso.Position - script.Parent.Torso.Position)
		if Distance < PreviousDistance then--Check to see if Distance is smaller than PreviousDistance
			Target = v.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
			PreviousDistance = Distance
		end
	end
    end
    Target:MoveTo(Torso.Position)
end

Sorry if this script doesn't work! I'll try and fix it after I come back from college tomorrow!
