while true do path = Game:GetService("PathfindingService"):ComputeRawPathAsync(game.Workspace.Start.Position, game.Workspace.Finish.Position, 200) points = path:GetPointCoordinates() game.Workspace.points:ClearAllChildren() for p = 1, #points do part = Instance.new("Part") part.FormFactor = Enum.FormFactor.Symmetric part.Size = Vector3.new(1,1,1) part.CanCollide = false part.Position = points(p) part.Anchored = true part.BrickColor = BrickColor.DarkGray() part.Parent = game.Workspace.Points end wait(.1) end Just trying to make some bricks between Start and Finish, but I keep getting "part is not a valid member of Workspace" What am I doing wrong here? P.S. don't expect me to know anything

That error is not coming from that code.

Oh, well I feel stupid. Meant to say "points is not a valid member of Workspace."

Change "points" to "Points"

Same, but now it's capitalized.

Check the name and location of the model you're trying to put the points into.

This Code should work.. while true do path = Game:GetService("PathfindingService"):ComputeRawPathAsync(game.Workspace.Start.Position, game.Workspace.Finish.Position, 500) pointStore = Instance.new('Model) pointStore.Name = "Points" if game.Workspace:FindFirstChild'Points' == nil then pointsStore.Parent = game.Workspace end points = path:GetPointCoordinates() game.Workspace.Points:ClearAllChildren() for p = 1, #points do part = Instance.new("Part") part.FormFactor = Enum.FormFactor.Symmetric part.Size = Vector3.new(1,1,1) part.CanCollide = false part.Position = points(p) part.Anchored = true part.BrickColor = BrickColor.DarkGray() part.Parent = game.Workspace.Points end wait(.1) end

No dice. But at least I'm getting a different error message this time: ServerScriptService.Script:6: attempt to index global 'pointsStore' (a nil value)

Woops, turns out there was a typo there. But now I'm getting the old error again: Workspace.Script:18: attempt to call global 'points' (a table value)

Cool, it worked! But now Roblox Studio is crashing every 5-10 seconds or so. Anyone know why this might be?

Every 5-10 seconds after running the script, that is.
