Hi guys, im trying to code a find nearest target script and apparently i can't properly save my humanoidrootpart properly here's the code(I"ll remove as much redundant code as possible):

function FindNearestTarget()
	    local list = game.Workspace:GetChildren()
	    for i=1, #list do
	 
	            if list[i].ClassName == "Model" and list[i]:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
	                TargetPos = {list[i].HumanoidRootPart.Position}
	                wait(1)
	            end
	    end
	    if TargetPos then
	        print (unpack(TargetPos))
	    end
	end--Function End

The above code apparently results in TargetPos to only have 1 element regardless of the number of players in the game. If this function was ran in an infinite loop, and there are 2 players for example, TargetPos seems to replace it's first element with the next player's position, then go back to printing the first player's position. I want to be able to print (TargetPos[2]) but it always result in a nil because it was never saved as the second element in the first place. any idea whats wrong?

You're setting the table "TargetPos" instead of adding to it. Define "TargetPos" beforehand and add to it instead. TargetPos[#TargetPos+1] = list[i].HumanoidRootPart.Position

Ahh that seems to be the problem. I've always thought that a table would automatically increment itself upon receiving the data. Thanks a lot, I won't make this same mistake again.
