hi, i'm following a tutorial on how to make a custom NPC chat system and the script does not work and I do not know why

send help

here is the script:

local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")








local DetectedNPC = nil
local Detected = false
local Chatting = false
local Skip = false
local Exit = false








local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local Camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera

local Gui = script.Parent
local Sounds = Gui.Sounds
local PromptLabel = Gui.PromptLabel
local LineLabel = Gui.LineLabel








local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local CharHMR = Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")








local NPCS = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("NPCS")








UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(Input)
    if Input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.X then
        if Chatting == true then
            Skip = true
            Sounds.Click:Play()
        end
    end
end)

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(Input)
    if Input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Z then
        if Chatting == true then
            Exit = true
            Sounds.Click:Play()
        end
    end
end)

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(Input)
    if Input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then


        if Detected == true then
            local Lines = DetectedNPC:FindFirstChild("Lines")

            if Lines then

NPCS is presumably a folder, but on lines 162 and 163 you're trying to access it's Humanoid and HumanoidRootPart. Try changing those lines to:

local Humanoid = DetectedNPC:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
local HMR = DetectedNPC:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")

Edit: You'll also need to change them on lines 179 and 180

Edit2: Despayr found a capitilization mistake - "FindFirstChild", not "FindFirstCHild"

Also, they mistyped 'FindFirstChild' by using a capital H Despayr 505 — 4y
