Heres a script I found

01local larm = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("Left Arm")
02local rarm = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("Right Arm")
03 
04function findNearestTorso(pos)
05    local list = game.Workspace:children()
06    local torso = nil
07    local dist = 20
08    local temp = nil
09    local human = nil
10    local temp2 = nil
11    for x = 1, #list do
12        temp2 = list[x]
13        if (temp2.className == "Model") and (temp2 ~= script.Parent) then
14            temp = temp2:findFirstChild("Torso")
15            human = temp2:findFirstChild("Humanoid")
16            if (temp ~= nil) and (human ~= nil) and (human.Health > 0) then
17                if (temp.Position - pos).magnitude < dist then
18                    torso = temp
19                    dist = (temp.Position - pos).magnitude
20                end
21            end
22        end
23    end
24    return torso
25end
26 
27while true do
28    wait(0.1)
29    local target = findNearestTorso(script.Parent.Torso.Position)
30    if target ~= nil then
31        script.Parent.Humanoid:MoveTo(target.Position, target)
32    end
33end

It follows npcs as well as players. How can I make it only follow players? I have tried inserting "if blah:IsA("Player") but it didnt work. - Thanks

Hopefully this works.

01local larm = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("Left Arm")
02local rarm = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("Right Arm")
03 
04function findNearestTorso(pos)
05    local list = game.Workspace:children()
06    local torso = nil
07    local dist = 20
08    local temp = nil
09    local human = nil
10    local temp2 = nil
11    for x = 1, #list do
12        temp2 = list[x]
13        if (temp2.className == "Model") and (temp2 ~= script.Parent) then
14            temp = temp2:findFirstChild("Torso")
15            human = temp2:findFirstChild("Humanoid")
16            if (temp ~= nil) and (human ~= nil) and (human.Health > 0) then
17if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(temp2) then
18                if (temp.Position - pos).magnitude < dist then
19                    torso = temp
20                    dist = (temp.Position - pos).magnitude
21end
22                end
23            end
24        end
25    end
26    return torso
27end
28 
29while true do
30    wait(0.1)
31    local target = findNearestTorso(script.Parent.Torso.Position)
32    if target ~= nil then
33        script.Parent.Humanoid:MoveTo(target.Position, target)
34    end
35end

Thanks man it works birdeater11 14 — 7y

Awesome, glad to hear. Hope you can see what I did and implement it yourself on your next project. protectiveebob 221 — 7y
