As seen in the video i kill the zombie and the apple is meant to drop where the zombie died but it spawns where it was originally placed on the map

You’re changing to parent of the apple to workspace not the zombie’s position on death, so it would spawn in workspace instead of the place the zombie died.

You have selected the parent of the apple, which is the Workspace, but you have not selected the position where the apple will be applied to in the Workspace. So, as you put the script as parented in the zombie, you will need to put the following under “a.Parent”: “a.Position = script.Parent.Position”

So, like this?
function onDied()
wait(2)
local a = game.Lighting[“Chest”]:Clone()
a.Parent = game.a.Parent:
a.Position = script.Parent.Position
script.Parent.Parent:Destroy()
end
script.Parent.Died:Connect(onDied)

Exactly, do this and tell me if it worked or not!

Got this;
Workspace.Monster1.Humanoid.Script:5: Expected ‘(’, ‘{’ or when parsing function call, got ‘.’

What is the fifth line of your script?

removed the colon and got
a is not a valid member of DataModel “Baseplate”

What do you mean “game.a.Parent” in “a.Parent = game.a.Parent”? wasn’t it supposed to be the “game.Workspace” instead?

Thats right. its a error that tells you to use something like game.Workspace.Zombie for a position.

Im so lost now loool,
function onDied()

wait(2)

local a = game.Lighting[“Chest”]:Clone()

a.Parent = game.Workspace.Monster1

a.Position = script.Parent.Position

script.Parent.Parent:Destroy()

end

script.Parent.Died:Connect(onDied)

Position is not a valid member of Humanoid “Workspace.Monster1.Humanoid”

position shouldnt be on human. just torso lol but make it that it falls when it spawns at torso
which its like "after zombie dies. it should be something like this:
game.Workspace.Monster1.Anchored = false

function onDied()

wait(2)

local a = game.Lighting[“Chest”]:Clone()
local humRootPart = script.Parent.Parent:FindFirstChild(“HumanoidRootPart”)

a.Parent = game.Workspace.Monster1
a.Position = humRootPart.Position

script.Parent.Parent:Destroy()

end

script.Parent.Died:Connect(onDied)

Try this one and let me know if it worked.

Replace that with a.CFrame = script.Parent.CFrame

If your apple is a model, use the primary part and create welds.

Position is not a valid member of Tool “Workspace.Monster1.Chest”

Try to reposition “a.Position = humRootPart.Position” with “a.CFrame = humRootPart.CFrame”, as Voliiqs said above.
