UnityScript.Lang.UnityRuntimeServices.Invoke (System.Object target, System.String name, System.Object args, System.Type scriptBaseType)
AISimple.Update () (at Assets/Tutorial 5/Tutorial 5/AISimple.js:11)

what does this all mean ? I don’t speak gobboldy gook ? Heres the script if it helps

var Distance;
var Target : GameObject;
var lookAtDistance = 1000;
var moveSpeed = 2;
var step = moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime;

function Update ()
{

	
	transform.Translate.Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position , Target.position , step );

}

@Souk21 Sure. So basically I have a crate object. It has a 2D box collider and a Rigidbody 2D. If I place that object next to a wall that consists of multiple sprites with box colliders, it randomly gets stuck on the wall. This also happens when I have some kind of conveyor belt. It is basically a script that applies force to a rigidbody object. While the object is moving it gets stuck. I hope that explains it better!

Well you better start learning to read errors like this, as that is key to being able to debug your own code. You have a NullReferenceException, which means one of your variables is null when it shouldn’t be. Are you sure Target is being set in the inspector?

Definetly set

That’s because the code you’ve written is JavaScript, not Boo…

As it looks like you’re copying this from a tutorial, I think what you meant to do was Create → Javascript :slight_smile:
If you actually meant Create → Boo then I suggest you write your code in Boo.
