I'm making a RPG game and I don't know how to make an enemy NPC that follow and kill players. If have anyone know that, please help me. I have try to run this script in Roblox Studio but it not do anything. This is my script code I don't know how to fix it:

01players = nil; --Where we are going to store all the players
02dummy = game.Workspace.Dummy; --Dummy reference
03currentPlayerFollowing = nil; --The current player the zombie is following
04damage = 2; --Change this for more damage if you want
05 
06function touched(hit)
07  --pcall allows for errors to be disregarded so you don't have to worry about random output errors
08   if pcall(function() if hit.Parent.Humanoid ~= nil then end end) then --If the character's health storage is there
09   pcall(function() hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health = hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health - damage end); --Do damage
10   end
11end
12 
13dummy.Torso.Touched:connect(touched);
14 
15while wait(1) do --Forever loop
16 players = game.Players:GetChildren(); --Grab all the Players currently in the game
17 
18 for i = 0, table.getn(players), 1 do --Go through all of the players
19  if (players[i] ~= nil and (players[i].Character.Torso.Position - dummy.Torso.Position.X).magnitude <= 10) then --Subtract the distance between the player and the zombie
20   currentPlayerFollowing = players[i]; --Add the player to the currentPlayerFollowing reference so the zombie can follow them
21  end
22 end
23 
24 if (currentPlayerFollowing ~= nil) then --If the player is there
25    dummy.Humanoid.WalkToPoint = currentPlayerFollowing.Character.Torso.Position --Walk to the player
26 end
27end?

Try this:

01local larm = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
02local rarm = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
03 
04function findNearestTorso(pos)
05    local list = game.Workspace:children()
06    local torso = nil
07    local dist = 45
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("HumanoidRootPart")
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

30while true do
31    wait(1)
32    local target = findNearestTorso(script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.Position)
33    if target ~= nil then
34        script.Parent.Zombie:MoveTo(target.Position, target)
35    end

local dist = 45 --Change the number to the amount of studs the player has to be for the enemy to start chasing!

I'm assuming the enemy humanoid is named (Zombie) If it isn't go to line 34 and cahge Zombie to whatever the humanoid name is.

Hope this helps!
