How do I get rid of the <eof> error in my follow script?

Asked by 4 years ago

I'm making an open-world, fantasy type of game and I have hit a roadblock. The script made was a follow script for an NPC to follow me, but didn't work when tested. I went to output and got this...21:12:32.149 - Workspace.NPC.Script:33: Expected <eof>, got 'while'. I went to the problem and I couldn't figure it out. The follow script is for R15 characters

function findNearestTorso(pos)
    local list = game.Workspace:children()
    local torso = nil
    local dist = 1000
    local temp = nil
    local human = nil
    local temp2 = nil
     for x = 1, #list do
        temp2 = list[x]
        if (temp2.className == "Model") and (temp2 ~= script.Parent) then
            temp = temp2:findFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
            human = temp2:findFirstChild("Humanoid")
            if (temp ~= nil) and (human ~= nil) and (human.Health > 0) then
                if (temp.Position - pos).magnitude < dist then
                    torso = temp
                    dist = (temp.Position - pos).magnitude
                end
            end
        end
    end
    return torso
end
--wait(math.random(0,5)/10)
    while true do
         wait(0.5)
         local target = findNearestTorso(script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.Position)
         if target ~= nil then
      script.Parent.Humanoid:MoveTo(target.Position,target)
     end
 end
    return torso
--wait (math random(0,5)/10)
while true do
    wait(0.5)
    local target = findNearestTorso(script.Parent.Torso.Position)
    if target ~= nil then
        script.Parent.Humanoid:MoveTo(target.Position, target)
    end
end

The error is in the 33rd line, the error is "while" true do.

This might be is your problem:

Before the while loop, it have return. If you don't know, every code after return will won't run.

And why you put wait in the comment: --wait(math.random(0,5)/10)

TWO times.

Your question made me go to the toolbox to find the script, and I found a better working script by xBattleBear. I tested it and the NPC followed me. Thank you for helping ninjablaze013 2 — 4y
