script.Parent.ShootEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,targetA,args)
	if args == "fire" then

try checking if target exists first, THEN check for its parent, e.g:

if (target and target.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")) then
--code
#3

its not shooting but now its doesn’t printing anything

#4

you’re returning the entire statement if a target is missing which stops it from continuing - try removing else return end
