AI Targets only one person, even though I'm in range?

My friend and I were testing this AI for a game we're making, but since he was the person who got in his range first, the AI would only target him, but then even after my friend respawns, the AI doesn't target me, even though I'm in his range.

EDIT: I have removed the script because it was answered. My problem was I was returning nil too early.

Why remove the script? It's good to keep it for reference. P100D 590 — 7y

Problem

You're returning nil too early in your findNearestTorso function. When the first player joins the server, that will be the only player targeted. If that player is not within 25 studs of the AI, the function will return nil not checking the other players.

Solution

Return nil after the for loop has finished. That way all players are processed, and the AI may confirm no one is within range.

Final Script

function findNearestTorso()
    for _, plr in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
        while not plr.Character do wait() end
        if plr.Character:findFirstChild("Humanoid") then
            if (trooper.Torso.Position - plr.Character.Torso.Position).magnitude <= 25 then
                return plr.Character.Torso
            --else
            end
        end
    end
    return nil --Just move return nil to here. It's clear no one is within range at this point.
end
