Thank you, I created a enemy in roblox studio back in 2016 I believe that I wanted to make for a game, but got discouraged when I couldn't figure out how to get it to chase players. Now you've given me a basic idea on what I need to do in order to create enemies for my games.👍

Workspace.Model.Humanoid.EnemyController:20: attempt to index nil with 'Position' So I created my own model and rigged it my self and tried to implement the code on it but it just pops up as Workspace.Model.Humanoid.EnemyController:20: attempt to index nil with 'Position' idk if its because its a four legged model instead of a r15 or r6 model but it still has the humanoid in it. I could really appreciate the help.

Does anyone know how to fix the error where it says that move is not a valid member of part?

[@mrmodulescript]

Move should be only used on the humanoid, which I set as a variable. If the error says "not a valid member of part", then either the humanoid variable must be incorrectly set to a part (such as the humanoid root) rather than the humanoid, or you are trying use :move() on the wrong variable. Hope this helps!

HumanoidRootPart is not a valid member of Model "Workspace.5d4a5" this error happens when the player dies (it happened when i fell into the void) note: 5d4a5 is my player. edit: this error does nothing i think, im new to roblox studio but what i think it means it basically cant find the primary part of the player because its destroyed edit 2: i also think this happens everywhere even without this tutorial (like you just loaded a empty classic baseplate)

i was losing my mind comparing mine and your code trying to figure out out a problem before i grabbed your model to compare the scripts, they looked the same and your dummy was giving chase so i tried to put your script in my dummy to see if it would run then and as it turns out this whole time the problem was coming from the model
